Pro General Comments: Very cool track. Nice staging of instrumentation as the song rolls along. I appreciate that each section seems to have a unique music textural approach, like the chirping keyboard in the 2nd verse. Overall really nice influences and pretty effective use of musical atmospherics. I can hear the 60's and 70s era inspired attributes like the backward opening guitar and some of the key changes within the structure show a kind of nod to progressive rock.On a lyrical note, I like how the lyrics seem penned from an appreciation of nature perspective, and that they touch on the bounty and wonder in the universe. With that said, I'm not sure I'm hearing quite enough of an impactful chorus lyrical payoff line that comes across as memorable/compelling. It might be worth seeing if you can beat or best the "Mars" line with a slam-dunk lyrical payoff that stays in the perspective and character of the remaining lyrics. Leaving listeners with something more universal to ponder could be a good jump of point for any revision. Good performances all the way around. Lead vocals are good/solid. The vocals could be a little more present and/or punchy in the mix. Noticing that at times, the lyrics can be hard to hear. The vocals tend to be at their best when they're leading the charge, so to speak. If I were your producer I would do everything I could to get the lead vocals to sound as present they can in the context of the mix they live within. Generally this is done in the editing/comping/mixing process. In parting, you guys are clearly doing your thing quite well. You might find that you may possibly benefit from some outside producer help to take your recordings up a notch or two. Collaborations are great when compatible creative minds collide. Thank you and rock on!
Quote From Pro: Spirited, rootsy classic rock with a catchy Cosmos-themed chorus.
