The Tide is about hope, redemption, and a second chance to live a life we only have one opportunity to live.
Any kind of feedback is welcome
I really enjoy the lyrics and melody of the song. I could definitely add it to this in a playlist of music I listen to. It will be stuck in my head!
Only feedback would be the transition to the bridge. The chord that you struck to go into it. Something felt weird when I first heard it. Don’t know if you hold it out for more counts, or something if it is necessary for the transition, but that is just my opinion.

first impressions: amazing voice, nice recording, simple is good. Very folky, I like the style.
I had a little trouble following the structure, and I think it’s because it takes so long to get to the first chorus. Bring that in sooner, or make the verses leading up to it progress and build. Otherwise it feels like we’re just waiting for far too long til we actually get the chorus. Love the lick where you say “the tide”, very memorable. Overall very enjoyable, well written, keep it up.

I like the lyrics and the overall feel of the song. It fits well with your voice quality. Well done. The one change that I will suggest is changing the guitar rhythm from a 2/4 feel to a 6/8 feel so there’s a pulsing triplet groove underneath. Very nice though. Thanks for sharing.

Welcome to Frettie! Thanks for sharing this.
I really like that pause….. before you sing “The Tide” Really nice and it acts like a nice intro to the whole story. Immediately makes me want to hear more.
I enjoy the melody and background vocals. The break/pause after the second verse I struggled with. I felt like it was placed there to create the same effect as the first pause, but perhaps you could get rid of that pause and go right into the chorus.
The first version of the Chorus is really nice. I would like to hear it sooner in the song. It is varied enough to feel like a chorus and break up the song nicely.
The version pf the chorus after the Bridge, I felt like you may have slightly “over done” that. Meaning you could treat it just like the first chorus. Your bridge was interesting enough. I liked the temp of that bridge. You could slow it back down with the chorus. and then slow it back down even more like you did with the wrap up.
Excited to hear what others think.
