Nice! Now I really dig this! Smooth as silk my dude, solid track for sure! That Reggae style guitar transition is dope, and slides into the second verse cleanly. The ambient backing track in the intro, is that ocean waves/beach or something else? Is there a bass line? I hear the kicks off course, but not detecting a bass line. That could be something on my end, wasn't sure if it was there. The only point I have is the vocals could come down slightly, especially in the first verse. I hope I don't come off as picking on you or singling you out. I want to see you grow and flourish, you definitely have something here. I applaud you for trying new things and straying off the beaten path. Vocals can be a real pain and unforgiving at times, I know it first hand as well. Overall, a smooth little track to chill with or play at a summer barbecue. Strong work!

Nice that you make this for Gizmo who will hear this in dogs heaven and say to him self...hey i I recognize this music.
That is my best friend letting me know that he is missing me.
8 years back i lost my best friend,my cat Tazzie and still miss him so much so i understand.
The beat is great and understand also why you put the woman vocal on it.

Awesome track dude! Good beat and sound quality. Nicely done!

I don't want to sound harsh. I understand it's very easy to offend someone these days, so I'll stick to the point. The acapella isn't on beat or in key. The lyrics themselves could have worked with a different concept. The problems are actually very obvious, and my ear can really feel them. If I listened to the music without the lyrics, I'd say the track was pretty good. But I want to be honest. Maybe try working on the music separately first and tailoring the lyrics to the finished track. I think you can do it. You can write music, after all.

cool track bro!

Drum n bass was always one of my favorite genres; this track certainly didn't disappoint. A beautiful tribute to your furry friend. R.I.P Gizmo!

SO, this is another interesting mix of different sounds and styles, but somehow, they all work. It's like you assembled this wild, wonderful jigsaw puzzle. Really interesting that this is your first attempt in music production. Talk about setting the bar fairly high. Thanks for sharing. I hope all is well.

This track was interesting. Drum and Bass isn't my thing, but I have to say I really did enjoy this one, the frenetic pace, the peaceful message, the combination of so many disparate elements. Yet, when in combination, they all worked. My condolences on the loss of Gizmo. Thanks for sharing this tribute. I hope all is well.

Superb track!

Hello Gizmo - music is v healing and can help you move forward with fresh energy (in my humble experience). This track encapsulates a mix of hope, dread and fear v well

Great track man i enjoyed my listen :)

Very well done !!! Very interesting work... Cheerssssssssssss !

Very warm lyrics, every word well chosen, carrying emotions for the beloved.
I do not really know much about this genre of music but it was well structured, with beautiful vocals and with good sound and arrangement.
Best wishes, Anthony

RIP Gizmo. Awesome tribute.

That bass from 0,44 is nasty. Really interesting track.
Good job!

Gizmo1205, this is an incredible first effort. I played it twice I liked it so much. A lot of natural talent. Change of subject. All my life I have loved my dogs. I have 3 dogs now. Why is it always me who has to take them to the Vet to be put down when they get too old and sick? It takes me a long time to recover. My father died in 2022. Life is a process. Death is part of life. Not sure we ever get completely over those we lose. But I do believe in an afterlife and that we do reunite. When my time comes, I will get to see all my old dogs and family too. Something to look forward to but not rush. Take care, Cosmo

Gizmo was a pet I take it. Leave your mind open. I studied Hinduism when I was young. As a result, several of my pets have contacted me from the other side after passing on. We only limit ourselves. Interesting track. Take care, Cosmo

Couldn't edit the previous message, hence this extra one -

Sorry for the loss of Gizmo.

The slight 'awkwardness' that is apparent in the tune makes more sense when you listen to it knowing that the pain of loss has been the reason for its creation.

Honestly, some of the bass progressions and timbres in this are, as the kids say - sick! (are they even using that word nowadays? lol) Thick, raspy and dirty...

And is that one of the Window's error sounds that can be heard in the background? Nice touch :)

Like someone else said, though - the string section (a great counter to the heavy bass, btw) probably needs to be tightened up a little in terms of quantisation so it sits a little better rhythmically.

Tune is quite reminiscent of (but heavier in terms of the punch it packs) to some of the stuff Phonat has done, in that it offers up randomness, is ever changing, keeps the listener on their toes, so to speak, and uses syncopation well.

Thanks for sharing :)

Do your thing - we all improve as we drop one day at a time. Good job

Nice idea and sound for a track for sure bro! But deffo as monzder said im pretty sure when the strings came in they didnt match up but can be fixed up no problem! Good work otherwise

I think I understand what youre going for here. As has already been said, some parts are too loud and or distorted, and I noticed 2 places that need to be brought in time better, but all in all, it paints a picture of someone who is honing their craft. Noone improves by not putting in the work. Many others before you gave up before they ever crossed the finish line, so u should be proud of what youve accomplished thus far. If u ever need help or tips on mixing, u can always send me or my brother Pnnywze an email and we'll help u out. Thanks for sharing your work here and for accepting and utilizing the advice youve been given

We are like rainbows,
a shimmer you can't hold. Beautiful lyrics and the overall idea of the track is really good. The female lead voice is beautiful but there is too much distortion and parts are over-loud. Great tune and beat.

Honest review: I do like the music track here, just needs a little trimming and an extra thin or two on that last transition. There are a couple of issues, one being the track is way too loud in parts. Its causing distortion/clipping and mucking up the track. The female vocal needs the most help, it needs more trimming and time to get the vocals flowing together with the music in time. All in all, not bad! Just needs some adjustments and a little work.
