Well, it seems spring temperatures are here, and I hope they'll stick around. This is a song of heartbreak, sang beautifully by Nekane. I edited with JAPOV's suggestion; Heart Beats Through Endless PainHope others are enjoying some spring weather too. 🌞🌼

Nice Celtic vibe  Your cymbals/hats are a bit loud and machine like. The timing until the kick drum comes in is a bit distracting... I would stick with 3/4 all the way. Lyrics are a bit typical, but the overall "mood" works. Great VOX as usual!

I like the minimal "Celtic" entro Could probably use some sparse syncopated wood blocks and bongos way in the background? What is that metallic sounding thing happening @4sec? I usually like odd off time stuff like that happening randomly, but the sound is so sharp it seems out of place... May just be me lol I keep hearing a rhythm in my head that evolves into a modern beat when the kick comes in... I think that's what you're trying to do?  Much better IMO

How did you learn to record like this? You have serious skills. This is a beautiful melody too. That bass is breath taking! Jeez I don't know where to find that on my computer.
But Marilyn if I was going to be so presumptuous as to give you advice, I felt like I was waiting for this song to explode. There is such restraint (sadness) in the verses I wanted that chorus to break through to a whole other level.
But as is beautiful.

Tom Thank you. Tom, for your kind words. I have so many melody samples and midis, I edit and produce right in FL Studio. Yeah, I just wanted a song that was right there in the heartache ... needing to go thru the emotions of heartbreak throughout the whole song. 🎧😔 ~M
