I hope that I can live up to
What some people see in me
Wish I was just more like you
But I hold the key maybe
Tell myself I tried my best, but
Not happy with the result
Perhaps I was just too stressed, 'cause
My attempt was an insult
I yearn for something I cannot quite understand
Mind burns from this place take me to the Promised Land
Gathering experience and memories
Producing expression and anxieties
I've been thinking
A little too much
World in my hand
But it still can't stay in touch
Your fear is shrinking
I couldn't think of such
Such a thing because
Over-planning is my crutch
Can I just get
Some time and space
I need a reset
A fresh start at my own pace
Stay calm and don't fret
Don't treat it like a race
Breaking a real sweat
But I've only made first-base
I yearn for something I cannot quite understand
Mind burns from this place take me to the Promised Land
Gathering experience and memories
Producing expression and anxieties
Oh, here I am
Saturated in devotion
Right here I stand
While at the same time in motion
Bottled up
Like a map out on the ocean
Promised Land
I'm counting on no commotion

This is such a good song! The vocal melody and meter and phrase of it moves really nicely. The lyrics are also really good! Musically I like the intro with the strings and the transition to the electric keys and the portamento bass synth is nice too!!

Very cool vibe on this one! It is quite retro sounding, and I really like the the way the bass synth slides around. Great melody that moves with ease and some really nice lyrics! Way to start your FAWM!! Let's get to number 2 and 3 and... ;)

Me likey! :) Good job kid!
I'd pay attention to the harmonic and melodic combinations your bass and pads (chord base) are in, to better support the chord/bass movements.
Overall very tight and good song senses here.e
