This was something different for sure. The music was amazing and I got into the unique rhythm of the track quickly, really fond of the bold nature of arranging the vocals over the music. This would be a prime candidate for the celtic crossroads round, have you submitted it? It reminds me greatly of a bard(ess) telling her story on a medieval marketplace in times when lyrical beauty was still marvelled at and not pushed to the side like today.

As for technicals, I got distracted a bit by the abrupt coming in of the vocals, meaning if you would fade them in and out a tiny bit (like 25 ms or so) it would sound much smoother. But then maybe that's what you wanted to go for specifically. I hear these things quickly and tend to overfocus on them being a producer. Your voice could also benefit from a tiny bit of reverb or delay, just to have it sit IN the track a bit deeper, and not so much ON TOP of it. The sound of the music is very warm, and it might be worth a try getting the vocals to sound a bit more smooth in that way, especially because the voice is so nice and smooth.

A really unique track, it's amazing to see how different music can be coming from different people. And I think I picked up some things to try myself from this hehe. Thanks and continue onwards!

well, most think I'm different just in general lol

No, @simgirl made me submit my 'song' here........this is all new to me.......this is me just having fun but I like to learn new things.......and goof around......with learning new things.

lyrical beauty was still marvelled

This was worth everything @simgirl makes me do just for that comment alone. I say I'm a 'storyteller' so you just gave me the best compliment you ever could. THANK YOU for that!

as for your technical advice. Thank you for taking the time to write it all out. I mean that!!! but to be very honest I have no idea what I'm doing in Audacity.....I just try and make it sound good to my ear......but yes get frustrated when I want my voice lower or music higher most times but just do the best I can playing with the settings that I don't know anything about......

saying that I still like the story/songs that come out or I would not post them I just think they could sound better if I knew what I was doing...........but it sounds like that takes money and a lot of time that I don't have........

@inthenow mixed my voice in a song of his he let me play with and it sounded wonderful and think that is what you are getting at.........but that is way beyond my capabilities........but if you have not heard the song we did called 'Sizzle' .......you should because I think that is what you are talking about....what he did to my voice..........

and last, Thank you for taking so much time and writing out all you did for me. means a lot. I'm very happy you got some idea's form my 'song' if you ever want a voice let me know .........I would be happy to try something knew........ just putting it out there......not looking for a job LOLL but I have fun with making these right now and it's very cool for me to hear when someone takes what I have done and makes it sound like I want it to like @inthenow did.

sorry for writing a book. :D

super rad words and i love the drug like voice you are speaking with! strange and sexy! i like the music you have picked for your peace. you are totally nutS1 i love it!

Thank you :D I have a lot of fun making these !!!! thank you for the great feedback. I'm sorry, this my reply so late........been a heck of a week for me. and yes, many say I 'dance to my own toon' ........so yes, nuts lolll
