Heart Like A River reviews - Part 1

The review cycle for Heart Like a River has completed. Here are some of the reviews. There is lots of praise for the production quality and the instrumentation. There are two positive comments for the lyrics (well written and went with the song, the lyrics are great) and two negative comments (a little cheesy, Not feeling the lyrics) so it looks like a you either love it or you hate it deal.

Vocals received a fair bit of constructive criticism, but no one is comparing it to having their nipples rubbed by a cheese grater, so perhaps that is a sign of improvement.


From Houston, Texas -

Whoever recorded/engineered this did a great job. The vox sounds a bit pitch processed at the beginning, tho towards the end of the song it sounds a bit cleaner. The finish is perfect, the strings are nice and delicate which fit the mood of the song perfect. I like the melody quite a bit.

From Fitchburg, Wisconsin -

The intro to this song is great, I think the production is great, I found the lyrics a little cheesy.Overall good song.

From Slovenia -

I would play this song if I had a guests who I would wanted them to became sleepy and go home already. This band should work more on vocals. I wouldn't mind if it was a female singer. Guitar and violin are great tho.

From Maiden Rock, Wisconsin -

i love the intro, very instrumental. when the vocals come in im a little shocked to hear such a low voice, i was also hoping to hear the song go somewhere, but it kinda drug on. i would try to break up the melodrama, with a better instrument solo starting at 2:00min, you obviously have the talent. i did think the lyrics were well written and went with the song.

From Warwick, Rhode Island -

I love the classical guitar, no one writes songs in that still anymore. Also the lyrics are great, i think the vocals need a little work, but other than that the song sounds very good and whole because of the violin and guitar.

From Fayetteville, Arkansas -

the intrumentation is lovely. could it be sung in a higher key or something. the vocalist's style of voice doesn't quite match the feel of this pretty song. maybe try adjusting the pronunciation of the words if you will be sticking with the same vocalist. more ooo sounds than Ay sounds. less in the nasal area.

From Steilacoom, Washington -

Intro very well put together. Voice has too much bass. Not feeling the lyrics. The voice seems to overpower the song. Voilin is a nice addition.
