I liked the song. There is a nice 80’s feeling. The solo instrument reminds me some MMORPG games I used to play (like Tales of Pirates, Fiesta, Luna).
About the SoundCloud, I think it process you track like if it was converted to a 128kbps mp3 (only for playing it in the site, the download option keeps the original track). I notice too, when I upload my songs, there is some loss in the highs, but I never dug deep to understand how to prevent it. AFAIK, there is no profile configuration to avoid it. But I never noticed dynamic changes in my tracks.
It really does have this 1980s family TV series feeling to it, and I love it for that.
I think what Jan means is that the song doesn’t tell a story. There is no build-up (in a story-sense), no climax, no rush, and no resolution. It is a peaceful stream, not a white water river with rocks and waterfalls. It is a bunny nibbling on grass, not a wolf ripping a deer apart.
But to me, that’s not a bad thing. It’s just a different kind of song (genre, really), and I liked it.
