My favorite song is hard feeling / loveless by Lorde. The song goes into two chapters, it feels both soft and explosive. A part of it makes me feel raw and heavy like you're letting go of someone you cared about but trying to stay composed. Then Loveless flips the energy completely and feels messy and loud like when you stop crying and start laughing at everything.

I don't really play music but I do sing and I've always been around people who make music,, hence i've spent alot of time giving them honest feedbacks and help them choose versions, and talking about how what part feels strong or need tweaking.

My closet experience with this was helping a friend who makes music. She asked me to listen to few of her unreleased tracks and give my honest thoughts. I pointed out where the vocals felt a little buried. She suddenly ended up adjusting the mix and smoothing out the transition, the final product sounded way cleaner and better. It made me realise how small pieces of feedback can actually make a big difference
