The Shipwrecks of the Soul


My memory is an ocean, my thought a ship,

Tonight I got lost again in the depths of my mind.


I traveled, I traveled but no harbor appeared,

Only a hidden, cowardly wind.


See how I've ruined,

The sea swelled

And brings dead dreams

to the surface.


If you want, hold me, and then leave me

It no longer has any value,

I will be lost.


My dreams are shipwrecks,

that sought a new homeland,

and you, the beautiful island,

that I have been searching for a long time.


But sadness disguised itself as a black storm

and killed my dreams.


See how I've ruined,

The sea swelled

And brings dead dreams

to the surface.


If you want, hold me, and then leave me

It no longer has any value,

I will be lost.

I like the crisp drums and soulful guitar riff at the beginning. The guitar isn’t always synced up to the beat perfectly, but maybe you could fix that with tempo automations on the drums. The vocals at :27 are a bit too far back in the mix at times, and also could use some more mixing effects to fill out the atmosphere. Based on the translation, the lyrics are really well-written, and I like the escalation in intensity in the vocals starting at around 1:30. At times, the delivery on the vocals is a bit thin, though, especially when you’re in the higher range. Singing with some taller vowels might help with that. There are also some times where you’re not really holding out the tonal center of the note very well, like at 3:26. That said, I especially like the solo at 4:00 - the subtle build-up to 4:20 is just really nice. The piece could also use some more fill in the texture at some point - most of the time, the mix is pretty minimal, especially for a relatively long track. The ending is also a bit sudden here. Overall, I really like the emotion in the vocals and the melodies of this track. The vocal delivery isn’t perfect, and the composition could use a bit more harmonic depth at times, but the organic sound design is a great treat. Keep at it, thetakis! ^_^
