The power chords at the beginning are pretty cool, and the Keanu Reeves samples fit the mood well. The progression is limited to a one-climax model, which in my experience is hard to execute effectively, and this is no exception. The one chord progression that dominates most of the piece is not the most original, and the track is also lacking for strong melodic content and harmonic depth throughout. The mixing is strong - I can hear all the instruments clearly throughout, including in the bass-heavy “breathtaking” section. The transition at 1:24 is a tad sudden, but I like how you structured the piece around Reeves’ vocals, including with the contemplative final chord. While there are clearly a lot of strong elements of the piece - from the sound design to the atmosphere - I’m struggling to get past the underwhelming and abbreviated composition here. It just doesn’t feel like a structurally complete piece, which I think constitutes a missed opportunity to get the most out of the catchy chords and strong production quality. I’d totally encourage you to keep working on this - a melodic bridge, atmospheric breakdown, and second emotional height would all be welcome additions to this piece. Keep at it, EmoshiLorenzo! :)
