La Reve (The Dream)
I really want feedback on this seeing as it's my first dance song! Like, for instance, is it danceable? Or am I just misinterpreting the name of the genre?
Thanks,
and Enjoy!

Catchy, a little slow. Maybe try adding some drums where it otherwise gets quiet? Personally I like to dance to a definite beat. Though you wanted it to be dreamy, and it really hits that mark. I think the transitions are superb, but what do I know? :P

Catchy little beat there but at times the sound felt a bit empty, like it lacks something extra that I cat put my hands on. Transitions are a bit rough but It takes time (I'm still having hard time with transitions when I make music). Overall Structure is pretty good though.

Thanks, Im glad you think it's catchy! I was thinking of adding vocals to it, maybe that's what it's missing. When I do, I'll definitely work on transitions.

Pretty nice song. I like how you gradually added in more instruments, and when I say gradually, I mean rising in volume. The song was a little repetitive, but I think you got away with it. One thing I noticed that could be done better is some smoother transitions. At 2:00, it worked, but I think it would have been cooler if it faded out the instruments while the new melody played. I'm not sure if that would change the nature of the song or not, but I think it would just give off an awesome feeling if you did that. The part that starts at 3:01 I think may have been a bad idea only because you dropped the songs beat enough at 2:00, from there you should only be going up. Maybe really surprise the listener with a drum fill and a full final chorus to finish it all off! The instrumentation is good, the mix is actually very good! The bass instruments were actually my favorite, I didn't really notice them at first, but they are very good. I think the song would also benefit from a mood change. Try going into different motifs or changing keys. Change the chord progression from this happy melody, to something dark. The song feels a little repetitive for this reason, there isn't much of a build so it needs to rely on different moods.

So overall, structurally, it was decent. In terms of changing up the melody, it did alright. It was a little repetitive, but there were enough melodies changing where it wasn't. Try adding some different chord progressions to change the mood of the song. And try and work on some transitions, I think you can improve on this song for sure!

Also if you could check out my newest song "Stranded" and give feedback that would be great!

3.5/5

Wow! Thanks! I REALLY appreciate the extensive feedback. It's repetitive because I wanted to make it long to dance to, but I do see what your saying and I definitely think a mood change would be cool!
