Hi all, just another wannabe brony musician with his first song here and I’m looking for some C&C on it. I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out, though the vocals are a strange train wreck mashup of 4 different takes because I did them while suffering from a cold and within a limited time span of recording (have to record at school because my house has no rooms with decent acoustics).

The song’s based around the speculated Celestia x Discord relationship before his interment in statue form (yeah, because that’s never been done before... right?) and the lyrics are a bit overdone perhaps but as my first set of ‘proper’ lyrics they seem to have turned out alright.
Things I believe I can do better next time;
- Better recording (obviously)
- Shorter instrumental sections, IMO, the ones I did here (mostly the intro and 'middle 8' instrumentals) were a tad too long.
- More subtlety in the mixing, just little things here and there which don’t wreck the song but could be better for the future.
All advice is appreciated.
Good day all
