This song was inspired by feelings I had about the passing of my best friend's mother. Let me know what you think

Lyrics: And we ride into the night without fear In and out of sight we find the ights would disappear In the corner of my eye I spy a figure drawing near In the remnants of my mind Unkind divine design confines my lines defined in time And who will save us now? (save us now) Who will scoop our souls off the ground? (off the ground) Who will wade into the waters in which we drowned? (which we drowned) And who forbade us to reach the clouds? (reach the clouds) Who silenced our dying shouts? (dying shouts

It was good man! For the genre though, it sounded pretty jazz/blues ish. At points it was kinda rock though.
Uhh I'll call it Techno-blues. That sounds about right.

Thanks Achillita!
If you don't mind, could you tell me what you liked about it?
What parts about the music led you to think it should be Techno Blues?
I'm not disagreeing with you I'm just interested in your thoughts about it.
Thanks again for taking the time to listen to the track

I really liked the distorted singing, I think it gaved a sort of blues kinda feel. Also the way the lyrics are sang through give it a kinda blues. I only called it techno blues because during the beginning it sounds techno, but with a blues feel.
I also liked the guitar solos, I think they gave a very awesome character to the song.

I really enjoyed the melody that the song has. Its a fun style of guitar to listen to. I dig that outro with the guitar as well! I love the overall what it brings to the song.
On the vocals I appreciate how it was sang and laid out. Meaning it wasn't that same distorted tone all the way through. I enjoyed how it went to a cleaner sound after sounding loud and heavy with the vocals. I can tell you feel the song and I feel it in there too, in that regards it is a great song! However, I could tell exactly where you wanted to take some of those notes but they didn't quite make it there at some points. You found a good vocal melody in your song, chizzle it out just a bit more though
Do you do all the playing for the song? Guitar, keys and vocals? All in all, cool song man and thanks for sharing your song with us!

Yeah the vocals were done in one take, I definitely made some noticeable mistakes and didn't fix them because the whole lo-fi vocal sound was me accidentally recording with my guitar settings. I switched them back to a clean sound and couldn't get that same tone again. For me hearing myself sing 'corner' is almost painful hahaha.
But I kinda dig it cuz lo-fi shit is all about imperfections, not like being shitty lol but like rough quality rather than clean cut proper stuff. The previous night was one of heavy drinking and smoking, I normally have those notes no problem but not after that hahaha.
Yeah, I lay down all the tracks. I play electric drums, then played the piano part, then put in a bass part on my synth exactly mimicking the piano part, synth horns and synth strings, etc. Then I lay down the solos and the vocals and I put it on soundcloud, I don't know how to edit or do any real producing other than splicing so it's kinda a rough draft until I get the money and material to hit up the studio.
Here's another one for you guys if you're interested:
Ascension is calling my name The angel wings of change The sweet summer rain Ah, here it comes again It never ends, it never ends It shines on through the sun's omniscient lens It's ever present through the bends So we build a vessel to take us to the sky We spread our gold-trimmed wings and learn to fly We make our journey through the Great Divide Not knowing what lies on the other side
