Elliott, this is great.
Super choice and expertise on those synth voices.
Outstanding backing band - loved those drums and strings!
A perfect mix.
Yeah, I've got O.C.D, Old, Cranky, and Dangerous.
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

First impression - what a great drum sound in the intro and the synth arpeggios! Nice build up to the powerful chorus. Nice message, "all the mountain that you climb never get to the other side" resolved in "I am here for you if you need me".
The lead vocalist sounds bit rushed, but the melody/lyric isn't the easiest to sing, so you have made good work to reach this point. And the harmonies are excellent, the highlight of the song. The band is also excellent, the introduction of instruments is well thought out and the strings fill the space perfectly. Feels like a lost 80's classic hit, it would certainly have been on my daily playlist back then. You should get some popular artist to sing this on a blockbuster movie soundtrack and success would be inevitable!

Elliot...OMG!! what a super production...that intro was killer...those drums are from Groove Agent? ( I have that and have never used it...I use Cubase 13 Pro...a lot of it is way over my head)...anyway the song is so gorgeous aesthetically...the stereo panning and the synth are can I say "ear candy" again? and my man Saros (Cyrus to me) is so good ( I love him!)...you really know how to make these voices come alive and your use of effects is masterful (I'm so jealous)...the production and arrangement are crisp and clean...as was said you do not waste acoustic space with unneeded instruments and sounds...loved every bit of it...it's obvious to all of us that you are no amateur at music writing and production!

That is a creative arrangement!
The hints of positivity in the lyric were very effective.
Soros/Sheena sound good, especially on the outro.
Meshing your performances with BiaB worked well.
Great band and the mix sounds really good.
The kind of mix we love - nice and open with good dynamics.
Enjoyed it!
J&B

The opening had me hooked: those drums and then the keys. Good production skills with the instrument parts and their placement. A fresh sound with a pleasant melody. Strong build at the end. The synth voices sound good, but you've got a good voice you should use.
