Eh...Needs some work!
First of all, I love all your stuff. You truly are inspirational to me. Without you I would not be making music right now. Especially all your news posts reflecting on life. Those helped me when I felt like music was just not working out.
And as for this song...
Pros:
-Loving the synths used.
-Loving the singers voice.
Cons:
-Eh...the lyrics are a bit basic for my liking but that is just personal preference.
-The mixing. The vocals can barely be heard on my speakers. They can be heard decently when I put on some headphones but they definately do not sound right within the mix. It is not the synths overpowering the vocals so much as the vocals just sounding muted. I mentioned this as being a problem with the mixing but maybe the vocals were just recorded wierd? I don't know but those are my thoughts on that.
-Repetitive. I just felt that nothing really changed throughout the song besides the vocals entering and exiting. No breakdown or amazing build-ups. Just very similar throughout the song. Just personal preference, I love your wonderful breakdowns and build-ups, so maybe you just weren't going for that feel with this song but even so this track felt too similar throughout the song.
-Drums. These helped to give the repetitive feel to the track and overall they just were very dull sounding.
I'm sorry that I gave you a less than stellar review but the way the vocals were
?mixed? killed it for me. If you managed to get the vocal to fit in with the rest of the track I would bump this up to an 8/10 but overall I just felt this wasn't up to your usual standards.
Good luck on future tracks. Your still my favorite newgrounds artist.
