Dylanist, for some reason my computer wouldn't open your first song or download more than a 5 second mp3, but I *was* able to listen to the song above! I liked its lush sound, the playful but thoughtful lyrics (hey...there's nothing wrong with spinach!
), and the contrast between Lights' pretty, ethereal voice and your rap.
I enjoyed the instrumentals, too...especially the part where some little notes go up the scale quickly (such as around 0:36), and also the places where the chords are held in quite a somber and beautiful way (such as at the end). Did you use acoustic guitar at the beginning? I think you did and if so, I really liked that that. I enjoy the combination of the electronic sound with traditional instruments.
I think my favorite lines are "Can I let the ground do the walking" and "Can I let my mouth do the listening," since these invert the way reality works: our legs do the walking, not the ground; our mouth does the talking, not the listening. I'll have to listen to the song again, since you have packed a lot into the lyrics. I also liked, "I'm afraid the days have a limit," because they do.
I also felt the recording sounds very professional and the words are said/sung clearly, which I liked.
