💀
-The organ is accurate and skillfully spare.
-The rhythm guitar is light, natural, and unobtrusive.
-I like the vocal performance on the first verse.


-The bridge lyrics still feel like pretentious, filler to me. They are not natural with the song’s internal logic, nor do they reveal anything worth seeing. It’s a missed opportunity.
-The chorus vox may benefit from a harmony part
-Celeste on the last verse is off rhythm and in need of a heavy edit.
-Double on chorus sounds good, but it needs to line up more perfectly in several places.

👻
-I added tremolo to the intro and instrumental classical guitar line
-I dialed in the bass part.
-I sharpened up the drum sounds.
