Nav Ahh. A nice hard-hitting, guitar-driven rocker! Love the contrast between the 5/4 and 4/4 sections, and the trippy glockenspiel vs. distorted guitar. You used these to great musical effect to represent the "collision" of two different worlds. Nice, bro. Cool visual effects with the lighting. Especially the dust particles circling the light around your breath when up on the mic. Finally, nice Bellamy-esque guitar solo. I think it could be brought out of the mix even more to help the song reach its full-on sonic peak at 3:20. Fine artistry all around. You're improving on all fronts.

Nav This song has a very catchy and well-crafted build through the first verse. But I really wanted the "round and round again" section to be a pre-chorus. Right at 1:16, I was expecting the song to transition to a much more compelling chorus, but then was a little bit let down when it went right into verse two. The song structure, as written, is A-B-A-B-bridge-A. If you wrote and added a chorus (C), I think you have a more satisfying song: A-B-C-A-B-C-bridge-C-C-A. Just my two cents. Solid recording. Great to see you outdoors in a more expansive environment. Cinematography works to make the video feel melancholy and personal.

Basement Alchemy I definitely know what you're talking about, But I didn't want to write a pop song, more like a anti-pop song pop song.

Nav Hey! Nice throw back to the early 90s. Sent me back to college days. I really like the harder, grittier bass and the toms. Also really dig that you added that verby electric guitar. Made it sound like The Cure! Cool to see the Auralex up in your space, man. Hope it serves you well. Great stuff, Shai. Another awesome Basement Alchemy production! Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
