Title: My Body is Growing Around Me
Post by: Chwill on Apr 13, 2025, 03:35 AM
Hey yall!

First time on this website :)
I'm currently on my second year of my creative music technology degree, my songwriting tutor requested I write the saddest song I possibly could as all of my material up to that point had been overly cheery. This is what I came up with:

https://on.soundcloud.com/Yny6FTE52jdFKjrw5 (https://on.soundcloud.com/Yny6FTE52jdFKjrw5)

This is fully produced. I tried going for a bedroom recording tape sound, keeping the instrumentation stripped back to add rich vocal harmonies. Any feedback on anything would be amazing <3

So far I've had insanely positive reviews and I even showed it to Lily Lyon's who gave me rich adoration for my songwriting. All of this but I just don't feel that overly confident in it, in my eyes it's really morbid and almost cringey and I don't feel comfortable releasing it, all of the feedback has given me mad imposter syndrome  :-\

Pleasant sound. Reminds me a little of the Beatles. The vocal is so soft, I can't understand all the lyrics. I do enjoy the ambiance.
