the melody is kinda nice but it's like repeated 1000 times with zero changes to the lead sound whatsoever, no layering, no automations no subtle note changes, no nothing, plain and simple copy paste in ur face. and that beat work is just lazy too. sounds like how to waste a good idea

Long winded technical way to say you dont like it.

Personally I think it is fantastic and a classic Sneijder sound which is unmistakeable. There is no mistaking this is a Sneijder track and thats what the trance music needs - individuality and a unique sound and you cant deny this has both of those. Might not be for you and thats fair enough but I think using phrases like lazy and copy and paste are disrespectful to one of the best producers in the scene who is at the very least original (and in my eyes class)

Can’t please everyone, I never try too, not every riff needs automation, it’s an impactful riff, no time for fluff with a riff like that. Thats how I see it

as for the lazy beat work, it’s mad you can tell when I’ve only been playing an intro mix, and no one has actually heard the full track 👌🏻✌🏻

the beauty of trance is it’s subjective, and the track sounds exactly how I like it

Thanks mate, appreciated, I agree the scene needs people who are invested in keeping it going with passion, and I’m certainly invested in it

I like the intro / outro kick bass combo pure classic Sneijder, tight production and nothing wrong with it having a softer sounding kick for the main part in the middle section. Feels cohesive and yeah agree with subjective approaches in trance that's what it's always been about 'making it work' somehow.

Beautiful melody and vocals.

Just an update on this one, I had to change the title to ‘Home’ at the eleventh hour as per request from Sony, announcing the title change on Sunday on socials, bit of a shit one as I love the old title, but have to play ball with this one as essentially it’s an Enya cover on the vocals

Such a darn shame Enya herself doesn’t seem to be in the mood for a trance collab, don’t know how about you Andrew but I would pay good money for an Enya collaboration ❤️

smart work around using a cover vocalist who does a great job by the way.

100% .. not even sure she’s recording anymore, would be epic though

Well, at least it's trance unlike what I have heard vocals are on the cheesy side but if there was a dub mix then it wouldn't be too bad. Why does the live facebook studio version sound better compared to the live arena facebook version?

The live version will be from a stream or low resolution recording source. The Facebook studio vid is the proper HQ version, hope that helps 🤝
