I like the ambient vibes at the beginning. The poetry added considerably to the piece, although I thought the vocals were a little too loud. They had the right amount of reverb, but I still wanted the instrumentals to be more up-front in the mix, especially during the first 1.5 minutes. I thought you could've been a bit more creative in how you used the vocals, too. It seems like you didn't manipulate them much. You do bring out the emotion in the words using the instrumentals, though, and I admire your sense of harmony and melody. The piece is structured well around the vocals, and the two refrains are powerful, memorable, and catchy. I'm not sure I liked the snare sample at 1:56, but maybe that's a personal opinion. As far as I can tell, the mixing and mastering is pretty good, and I thought the piece as a whole was pretty conclusive. It can be hard to find pieces with proper conclusions among relatively less experienced musicians. Still, this is really admirable work here, AlenK. Keep up the good work! ;D
