Way too much reverb on your voice. The synth piano sounds a bit cheesy too. Of course, this is coming from someone who also has been accused of using too many effects ;)

I like your voice Robert. It's got a lot of potential. It's different from everyone and you sing from your heart. Lose the effects and go back to the basics (e.g., real piano, acoustic guitar, no effects). That is what I am going to do from now on!

Sounds very nice. Maybe instead of going up to the root at the end of the lines all the time, try staying in the general area of the verse (for example: "I don't know how long that may be" - sing "be" on the same note as "may"). Also, be aware of your pronunciation, make sure you deliver consonants so that no word is lost.

Lyrics a cliche...music just drones on in a circle...needs to break out, but never does...adding a diverse bridge could make a huge difference...but as it stands.....well?

Great voice, but too much reverb. Nice piano, too. I would like a mellow drum line added for emphasis.

Beautiful song and beautiful melody.
My only critique is that I feel that there was too much reverb on the vocals.
Also, the song would have been better with some harmonized backing vocals during the chorus and maybe in some of the lines of the verses.
Overall, an enjoyable song.

Beautiful song...haunting melody...must say though I agree that there is too much reverb on the voice

The piano is nice but the voice is wavering quite a bit, despite the disguising effect of too much reverb. The melody itself seems flat and rather simplistic. These lyrics deserve a better tune.

Great song sounds like Bob Dylan and James Taylor had a son. Rock-on!

The basic idea of this song is great. The lyrics have a lot of merit. If I were critiquing the song based on this alone I would give it a great score. But I'm listening for the whole thing here. You have a great quality to your voice but there a frequent pitch problems and it sometimes makes the melody a bit elusive and I had trouble discerning where it was going. The reverb is over-used and the piano performance could be a little richer. These are all correctable problems though, and it would take only a little work and practice to improve the over-all performance of the song.

I like the piano in this song it is soothing. Your voice
reminds me of Julian Lennon in a way. I enjoyed the peacefulness of this song. You have a gentle touch with music and I like that very much. Great song to me.

Thank you for blessing me with your music,

Vocals quite boomy and hard to make out. Partly over-effects and partly an issue with diction when you sing [I know 'cos I have issues there too!] Structurally, this song is a bit cyclical; which you can't really get away with when the melody and lyrics aren't doing anything terribly inventive either. Add a bridge section, progress the instrumentation/arrangement to help the song build, or add some colour and variation in some other way. The basic are quite good though, just needs something more to hold my interest.

There is no distinction inbetween verse and chorus.
Perhaps an intense tempo change would help define the different parts.
The piano is quite decent and well played.
The synth would be better more as a pad... (further back in the mix...)
The vocal effect is overpowering and makes the lyric hard to understand.
There are a few cliches in the lyric.
Not that cliche's don't have their place and moments to shine.

Like lyrics/melody. Too much reverb on vocals. Also, vocals seem to go flat in places -- need more energy. Like piano, but may want to add some additional instrumentation.
