    Eveyone knows this source, but almost no one has played this game (myself included). I personally blame The OneUps for that, although there’s plenty of other versions out there. This one has extremely lush sound design and just enough variations to make the main melody distinct. Anon’s personality shines through with their performance on guitar, and really that’s all I can ask for in a good cover. I suspect there were at least two people in this collab. The melancholic guitar and amazing sfx do make me feel like standing at the edge of a cliff, watching it all crumble…

    Romance is in the air. This is very nice. Great sounds coming from this one. love the whoooshessss and those like reverse reverbs? Catchy. Beautiful soundscapes behind the singing guitar.
    Production notes: Great sounding production. I felt a tiny bit of deep low end buildup at times but nothing bad.

    with all the reverb , i really enjoy it. space floating feel.

    First 10 seconds or so already have a TON of detail in the arrangement and production, I like it, you know how to build things up and create an interesting soundscape, it’s all in the details. Mix is a little dirty for this style, every time I hear something like this I can’t tell if there’s too many mids in the master, or not enough spacing in the stereo field, something is a little off but I can’t put my finger on it. Drums kick and snare hit just right, and it’s all you need to keep a good beat really. Tone on the guitar is super nice with the exaggerated reverb though I’d like it to be a tad louder and more in the front, it gets easily lost in all the sonic elements. I really really love that there’s a TON of extra bits happening around that guitar lead, all those synthy bits and piano and percussion add a ton of personality. Bass playing is also a highlight. Only real qualm in this one is the mastering.

    The opening is nice and slow, appreciate the mark tree effects against the calm soundscapes and the piano. Nice slow drum groove and electric piano sound help to emphasize the feel before the guitar comes in. Guitar tone is very nice and very clean. The slow ballad/slow jam feel is handled amazingly – feels like this could be at ye old school dance. Cymbals and snare are balanced nicely, but the toms could probably come up a bit more, especially during the fills. The quiet down and re-build at 3:00 is really smooth, gives a quick break before coming back into some more quiet shredding. The build towards the end is nice, but balance does unfortunately suffer a bit here, drums get lost in the build, the soundscapes start overpowering the music just a bit. But the ending is smooth, and all in all this is a great arrangement and performance

    ♥️😭 WINNER
    This f**in track. My favorite main by a country mile and one of my favorite DoD tracks of the year so far. Everything hits SO good, so cozy, so sweet, so soulful, totally locked in to the spirit of the music and everything good and positive about the world. Moved me to tears on multiple listens. My only quibble is that it might be a tiiiiny bit too long – I was satisfied at the 3 min mark, likely wouldn’t have missed the noodly guitar in the last minute – but that’s like complaining about having too much cake. Bravo anon(s), I love you.
