A short post-rock(ish) song of my own...
 

This is a track I made recently. It has a lot of Sigur Ros elements in it, though it is a very short song. It's really simple in almost every way possible, but, that's what I was going for. I love simplicity in music, I find it beautiful for some reason. I'd love to hear any thoughts you may have, whether they be good or bad.

I do want to note that I'm actually a guitar player, though, my guitar playing isn't really present on this song. I'll probably post a song in the future to actually feature that, since thats the biggest main stay in more or less everything else I do.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy, and thank you for listening.

Well done, I'm eager to see what else you can do.

Thank you. I'm actually planning on having a concept album finished by January 1st, so I will definitely be putting up new material as I go.

I don't like the piano,
but otherwise it's pretty. Well done, I suppose :)

Thank you for your honesty. What don't you like about the piano, just the general melody itself?

I've just had a second listen and like it better. I actually really like the general melody and the notes of the piano. The rest of the music and sounds are just so soft and flowing and I think the piano becomes a bit block-ish about halfway through the song. Like it could use some damper pedal or something. The piano at the beginning, before this, I really like though. Because as you said, it's simple, but really pretty.

I didn't mean to say outrightly that I didn't like it, well done because it is really nice!

Thank you again for your comments, I do see what you mean. I think using a damper pedal would actually make it sound a lot softer and overall just a little less straight, if that makes sense. Sadly, I'm using the Garageband piano, so off the bat, I can't really use a damper pedal. I can make another track and make it cutoff a little more, dampening it a bit though, which I may try. I also had the thought to roll the piano chords a little at the peak of the track, while maybe layering in a quiet Rhodes of some sort to add soft texture to the actual piano. Anyways, thanks again for the thoughts, and I'm very glad you enjoyed it.

I will give this a listen in the next hour and give u feedback.

EDIT: I would if I could download the damn thing. Just a blank screen for like forever

I tried to listen to it again myself, and I ran into this problem too, so I uploaded it to yousendit and put the link in the original post.

There is the seed of a great song there. The melody is spot on regarding a Post Rock template but it sounds like the beginning of a track and not fully formed. Is the piano riff the songs basis?
