Pro General Comments: Nice energy and acoustic-based, rustic instrumentation. Enjoying the forward-moving percussion. Good emotion in the vocals and nice overall crisp production values. At times the lyrics delve into a story-telling spirit that gets visually detailed at times. Worth mentioning, as this can sometimes be an issue for film/tv synchs, but tends to be less of an issue for the music listener. Very cool stacked harmonies around 2:35. re: lyric watch out for rhyming "more " with "more", like in the first "tagged" chorus. I like that this song paints your "old self" or pervious situations as the antagonist, thus the payoff line "I'm not that anymore." Now if only we could go back in time and give our younger selves advice!The drums are performed well and nicely-recorded. However, at times the drums and their rhythm, don't seamlessly blend seamlessly with the rest of the music, having a net effect of feeling like the track is being dragged back. This is a subtle push and pull that may be able to be adjusted on your end in some way.The structure or arrangement is solid and consistent with the folk tradition of the chorus or main lyrical payoff, being "tagged" onto the verses. The upside is the payoff stands out nicely. The possible downside is that because the true chorus is so brief, it's naturally de-emphasized.Save for the brief percussion intro, I'm noticing that the track pretty much begins with drums and percussion playing together. To achieve greater dynamics and possibly to help build momentum, you might consider staging these two elements to make their 1st appearances in the track at different times. For example, you could start with percussion then have the drums come in at the end of verse one or even after the first time you sing "I'm not that anymore." Perhaps ideas worth trying. . . for the purpose of adding some dynamic and a touch of momentum. I hear some nice classic influences in the overall spirit. Thanks for letting me listen!
Quote From Pro: An energetic, intense folk-rock track that come across as cathartic. Palpable emotion intensity in the vocals.
