Amazing submission! I really respect that you had the courage to do something more personal! The track is really well made. The vibe is great and definitely the kind of thing I would listen to in my free time. I like how everything really takes its time to develop and leave space. Having the bass act as a sort of ominous drone over everything was a great choice and the vocals sound amazing. You nailed the submerged feeling and really captured the emotions you were going for. Good work, hope to hear more from you!

Ah, thank you very much for such kind feedback & for taking the time to listen :3
I worry a lot about how anything will sound when I actually export it & release it into the wild because I don’t own any speakers, haha. My brother stole mine when I first moved out years ago, and when I wound up moving back in again, I found out he’d broken them somehow >.<” So I’m stuck using earphones which are kinda tinny T_T I have found sometimes that the bass will sound decent enough in those earphones, but then I will test on the TV speakers downstairs only to realise it's barely audible!
I have some better bluetooth ones, but never had a computer with bluetooth compatibility, so the only way I can use those is with my phone xD which is a pain in the butt for testing tracks having to move them between devices, haha. Hoping to get a decent PC soon, but the one I bought back in April developed multiple faults in under 2 months and had to be returned >.<
It’s a relief to hear that the bass worked out though + that the submerged feeling and emotions were evident in the track :3
Thank you again! (and your OST is awesome btw ^-^)
Totally agree with you on being paranoid about how my stuff sounds. I also don't have proper speakers or headphones so I'm constantly worrying about whether my music is actually balanced or if its just my headphones. Hopefully we can both sort out our gear troubles eventually. Also thank you for the kind words :)
