overly creative song! i think you have quite a lot of personality in your vocals, even if sometimes can sound a bit goofy or too theatrical to me haha. but it works in favour of the storytelling, in this case
great job! <3
HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!

hey y'all here is a song i worked way too long on and idk how i feel about it l, and it makes me sad :'( it'll probably be one of the black sheep tracks on an album if not just released by itself. mix is a lil lazy
Lyrics:
The fence out back is coming apart
The panels rest where they fall in the yard
Leave them where they lay
Leave them where they lay
It's made a window to an odyssey
Where passersby travel the alley looking just like me
I only wish we could meet
Are you gonna keep that pace
Looking dead ahead
I will run along your side
Chasing parallel
We'll never meet
Even though our eyes do daily
At least we'll never cross each other's lines
But you will always cross my mind
Boundaries bend to none of my barks
So I tend to question the strength of my high
Stature's a grand excuse
To pretend you're above abuse
Comes in many forms you know (like big puppy dog eyes)
Like an unblameable and deceptively simple adorable device
Are you gonna trust this face
Looking through the gaps
If I don't look threatening
Could you even tell
We've never met
Even though we walk and talk on the daily
We've kept our distance, kept our pace of mind
Till I crossed the line
[[ FRETLESS Guitar solo ]]
And if the bark is worse
(Will you be silenced)
And if the bite leaves a mark
(Will you be healing)
And if the love looks like hurt
Will you align the two forever
Are you gonna keep your grace(x4)
Chasing parallels
You are the voice of the new generation. Absolutely a phenomena.

i love you i love you thank you for the kind words
needed them today <3
I like the eerie chimes at the beginning, and the breathy vocals contribute to the ominous tone of the piece overall. I like the echo effects at around :35 too, but I feel like the vocals at :42 were a bit dry by comparison. The lyrics have a strong narrative inclination, and the composition itself is also full of variety. The motif of "parallel lines" is really clever, too. Occasionally, the big pitch jumps in the melodies are a bit jarring, notably at :20 ("yard"). The mix sounds really good to my ears, and the dense and jazzy texture later on in the piece is just engrossing. The glitchy solo at 2:51 is awesome, and the vocal layering at around 2:30 is great too. The piece comes together really well as a cohesive thematic whole, even while the composition itself is full of surprises. Brilliant piece, Kor-Rune. Please upload more in 2021! Also, if you ever put this on an album, please PM me - I'd love to snag a DL. ^^
Kor-Rune responds:
Thank you so much for the shout and feedback !! I will absolutely let you know, there's several tracks im putting together for such a thing :')
It's criminal the fact that you aren't more popular on this site. The mix doesn't bother me too much, but listening to your music just makes me so happy.
Kor-Rune responds:
thank you so so much 💕 its definitely my fault for being inactive haha. I really credit this website for my musical development through the audio community so I will always post here first. Such a hidden gem of a place for musicians!! Thanks again
I'm a huge fan of your work. You're one of the very few people who not only make but also UNDERSTAND progressive rock.
Kor-Rune responds:
Thank you so much 😠it means a lot to hear that, i barely understand regular rock x(
