Hey there, friends. Some of you might recognise this from Toastbeard ER306. It's a slow, sad song about Scootaloo's thoughts before she falls into the river at the end of Sleepless in Ponyville (with a strong implication that RD doesn't rescue her - oh, the feels!). But, despite the sombre, electronic tone, I couldn't stop myself from making the end incredibly loud and bombastic, because post-rock song structures are wired into my brain.

EDIT: thanks for the critiques - it's finally done! Hooray~

Although the general sound of the vocals sound awesome, they are kinda(like very slightly..) in the back, and hard to discern any sort of words in the midst of the mix in the beginning, and although you can hear them better near the end, I believe making them more prominent(like very slightly..) would be better in the long run.

Really loved the style of this song. Followed for great music!

To vocals are hard to understand, but it fits the atmosphere of the song really well. In music like this, vocals are often treated more as another instrument than as a vehicle for lyrics.
"Wherever we are, what we hear is mostly noise. When we ignore it, it disturbs us. When we listen to it, we find it fascinating." - John Cage

I definitely agree that the vocals are very difficult to understand. That being said, it didn't keep me from enjoying the song. I like it and would listen to it as it is, but if your goal is for people to be able to understand the lyrics, then I'd recommend bringing them forward a bit.

Thanks heaps for all your feedback. I was quite unsure whether I wanted the vocals to be more of an instrument or a vehicle for the lyrics, but I think I'll be going for the instrument style, so a liiittle bit of incomprehensibility is alright!
Time to sit down and finish this darn thing...
