Zellum - i won't give up. | A depressing song by me
« on: April 10, 2016, 03:51:57 pm »
Hey! I've been feeling a little bit down past few weeks so I just thought I'd make a song about what I felt like. It might sound cheesy or whatever, but I don't think it does. Any feedback is more than welcome, so please, don't hesitate! Without me rambling about for too long, here's the song:
Hope you all have a great day/night etc!

So if this song reflects how you've been feeling then you've been feeling beautiful? Haha, but in all seriousness I really dig the drums/chord progression/unique sounds. The only recommendation I'd make is right around the 0:30-1:00 area it sounds a little muddy? It may just be the string samples you're using. Great work though! Emotional fuel creates the best songs.

I really dig your chord progression, but one thing I think you could have done to improve this track is add some type of lead to the track to make the song more memorable

Well it more reflected hope and strive for better. Thanks for the kind words! The area at 0:30 - 1:00 is the part where I introduced a subtle pad, which gave it like more fullness to the whole sound in my opinion and I can't hear anything particularly muddy in that area.

Thanks :)! I thought about adding like a lead to it, but then I decided it'll make it worse so I didn't add it. The idea wasn't to make it sound so memorable tbh.

This is so amazing, I think you just made an prelude or interlude to your future album. Really like where the progression goes!

I feel like this would be really dope as the music during the outro scene of a crazy apocalyptic war movie or something...definitely very emotional and expressive
