I like the music, it reminds me a little of the intro to Golden Brown - The Stranglers
Not sure if the singer suits that melody especially when she does the vibrato and anycase the vocals need to be more in your face. As a consequence i have to strain to work out the lyrics.
I know i sound like a miserable git but the drums could do with a bit of life, why not use a break? Try autotune on the vox not because they're out of tune but to make them sound more modern and if you didn't already know track those vox again and again until you wanna cry.
All said and done good effort.
Sorry to deviate from the original post but are you Mr Delerious? I have been listening to some youtube under that name and i've enjoyed everything i heard although this one is more up my street Mr Delerious- Righteousness
If it's true and you are Mr Delerious i think your music is great, it's well composed with lovelly sounds but your drum tracks could have a bit more life in them. It's not the patterns or the rhythms but the drum sounds and the mixdown. Although i base this upon music i hear on the radio, in the charts and in the clubs whilst your music in it's current format sounds perfect for background in movies, documentaries or tv shows.

I like it, although the beats could be a bit more interesting. I kept waiting for a drum and bass style drum pattern to come in. Stick some more energetic beats and a heavy bass line and it would sound awesome. Thats just my opinion.

I don't know if you can access this on youtube but i hear this styled beat on your tune but couldn't remember the name of it before Puretone: Addicted to bass
Not that your groove is unlike it anyways but it's nice to have other tunes as a reference and the beat is quite dirty on this one. I think it's a break sampled, recycled and sped up and re-arranged although i could be wrong....were as you have programmed yours from scratch so it's harder to make that dirty sound. Funny both your tune and this one have a cowbell running through it.
BTW i have been listening to 'Energies' on my NS-10m's and the vocals have grown on me considerably. You got a decent mixdown too, what are you using for monitors? It might be nice to gate some of those vocals when the word 'my' sustains before 'head' to keep the flow interesting. All said and done it's a damn good effort and i,m no expert or i wouldn't have time to be making these post wahahaha!

As above!
This song was inspired by feeling new energies arise in my body, and starting to take notice of it appearing in the people around me and watching it transform every ones life.
I felt compelled to write this as the lyrics just came to me as if it was being channeled or something.
Makes me wonder what really goes on in this world
Has a dancy high vibe feel, unlike this nonsence you hear on the radio!
