Oh yes, that's really great! What I liked was how I kept being drawn into it as the song went on, must be something in the groove. It wouldn't sound out of place on a 1967 compilation! Just lovely. Thanks for posting

A very dreamy atmospheric track Sandeep :) that kind of marching drum beat, makes it
almost hypnotic ::) the lyrics are really good and quite compelling  :)
Lovely vocals and strings...well the whole backing track is wonderful  :)
The production sounds top notch to me...Kudos :)

Enjoyed it a lot. I don't have a problem with the rhythm at the beginning of the lines - I do think there might be a syllable too far in the middle of one or two.

Smooth production and vocals - but felt a touch light in the bass area to me?

No matter, everything considered, all three pillars of a mighty song all present here: lyrics, melody and feeling.

Thanks Adam and thanks to Big Fish for your comments on Soundcloud.

Oh whoops! I commented on SoundCloud but not here!! Apologies. Here's what I said...

Reminds me of some of the dreamier, softer work of The Beatles, maybe during their Magical Mystery Tour/Yellow Submarine phase. Great work.

Hey there Movin'.........This has a nice easy listening vibrato to it. Very comfortable without being to intrusive or demanding. Pretty cool............just the kind of music I need when doing homework, and such!
Good stuff!

Hi,
Like the intro, draws you in.
Nice melody and arrangement and the clear production draws you in.
Vocals warm. Good strings - they're a good simple musical hook.

Thoughts: dont think you need the doubled vocals all the way through. The bass should be louder. And yes few of the lines seem a bit hurried and if possible should flow with the rhythm of the song as its one of those grove tine you don't want to interrupt.
Good work
 :)

Thanks Neil...we did lose the backing vocals on our final mix, and increase the base line, but we still having our internal debates about the final mix.

Hi Sandeep,

I like this a lot.
That gentle synthy sound in the background just drifting around beneath the plod of the piano is lovely.
The vocals are processed very well and carry the song very well.
Great write.

If you don't know the band, check out Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - you may find them to your liking. (My fave is Diamond Dew)

Thanks Digger for your comments, I checked out Diamond Dew,, and will listen to the other songs too. Definitely a touch of the Beatles in the Yellow submarine/ White Album era.

great stuff...vocals and harmony are awesome! This reminds me of the sixties folk/pop scene..like The Mamas and the Papas and Spanky and Our Gang only with a new twist... enjoyed this very much!
