Lyrics
Alone and contemplating the future that now lies ahead
The goddess will be waiting, to her beauty I am now led

Who am I? - I’ll sail across the sea of life
Where am I? - Searching for a place I could call home
Who am I? - Someone who believed so much
Where am I? - On my quest to free her forever

Fighting in glory for eternity
I’ll tell the story forever, forever

A thousand miles I’ve traveled, I’ve braved the fire wind and rain
The chapter still unwritten, the chance for glory still remains

Who am I? - I’ll sail across the sea of life
Where am I? - Searching for a place I could call home
Who am I? - Someone who believed so much
Where am I? - On my quest to free her forever

Fighting in glory for eternity
I’ll tell the story forever, forever

does anyone have any thoughts on the song?

WOW, I haven't been in this part of the forum in a while.

I love the melody, especially the synthesizer in the background.

The only big concearn is balance. The vocals are being outnumbered by the rest of the insturments, it was somewhat hard to tell where you were. Try to up the volume on the vocals, and (if possible) balance the overall stereo sound. I could mostly hear the right side, the left was hard to hear. And (you've heard this from me already) get a drummer, it'll help keep time in the song.

Other than that, overall great song. Keep up the good work!!!

Cheers Neorave - glad you liked the melodies

I have had problems balancing out the left and right side in the mix
