I found myself over-thinking everything, even outside my music. So I thought it was time to do something simple and easy on the ears. Glad you enjoyed it.

This is really lovely stuff and that piano is great.
Even better is when it has the delay added to it. Makes a massive difference and turns it into something new.
I've got to know your voice quite well and I could actually hear it as I started listening to the piano parts.
This is more like an instrumental with a few vocal lines rather than a proper song so it feels a bit short. Maybe you could extend it by a minute or so eg by coming up with some other lines and maybe some other change.
Otherwise, it's good, slightly far out, peaceful, warm stuff so big congrats to you.
A short review for a short track...
Thank you for your feedback. This has been an interesting exercise for me. Not sure if I will do more with it or not. I quite like it's simplicity. But I'm glad you could hear the vocals okay. It still takes me ages to get the levels right!

And Spongebob got eaten by the monster. That will teach him for creeping about an octopuses garden. Filthy creature.

Very well put together on all levels of songwriting and production.

I liked this one. Reverse bits were tasty. Vocals fit very well. Modern Folk is what I'd call it.

Bulldozer is a killer track that I've been listening to for a while now. Sorry For Me has also become a bit of a personal anthem (I'm such a mopey bastard). So, uh, thanks for the compliment. It's something I can run with... NO TAKE-BACKSIES!!!

You're definitely evoking the sounds of the deep with that piano intro and other bleepy synth sound. Makes me think a tiny bit of Floyd's masterful epic called Echoes.
Into is OK but the proper track takes off on 0:41 with that funky beat and nice string part.
And then a good vocal arrives. I'm really getting to recognise your laidback vocal style. It's become quite distinctive.
Somewhere around 1:30 I think some reverse activity starts up.
1:52 a small vocal pop/plosive which you could maybe remove, just to tidy things up a little. I guess most people won't even notice it. Maybe you don't use a pop shield.
I really don't hear any rock music in here at all. What do you think is 'rock' about it? No guitar and not rock drums so I wonder why you hear 'a modern rock sound'.
Overall, it's good, interesting stuff. Kind of late night chillout or cinematic to my ears.
Congrats.
I always appreciate your comments as they always provide useful insight and criticism. The pop you mentioned has had me stumped for a while, I have been waiting for someone to point it out. So nice one for spotting it! After ages of checking through every track meticulously, I realized it is a clash between a panning guitar note and my vocal. I've corrected the problem in a revised version.
The reason I count the song as rock, is because I wrote the whole thing on guitar as a straightforward rock song. Then kind of repackaged it. The reversed sounds and the panning notes in the verses are all done on guitar. The synth in the first vocal part is 3 heavily processed and stretched guitar notes.
But you are right, it's sound isn't really rock at all now. I just hate, hate, hate having to choose a label for my music. Not because I think it's "oh so original" but because I think the audience has to make their own associations.
Anyway's, enough rambling and moaning. Thank you for your thoughts, you have given me much to think over. Especially as I work out what the hell I'm doing next :p

The vocals are cool really fits with the track.
But what i love most is the piano and drums they blend well together, good job :)

As for the abrupt ending, it's a fair comment. I cut it like that because I wanted to suggest that the "monster" was there (after spending 3mins "coming closer"). Though it may end up fading into another track when I finally get my album together; possibly a stringed reprise in a later version. We'll see.
Cheers.

It's inspired by the Chateau d'If from Count of Monte Cristo.
