I have programmed a new AI and am currently working on modernizing and restructuring genres, topics, moods and tags. BPM will be replaced by “perceived speed”. Keys will be removed. The keyword search will also soon be extended to tags. There will also be an A.I. “Review” and a quality rating for each song. All music will soon be re-categorized. When I'm done with that, there will be new music again :)

Arti’s Hit or Miss: Review
"Chasing Echoes" presents itself as a deeply intimate and reflective acoustic piece, carried primarily by a gentle male vocal, an acoustic guitar, and delicate piano touches. The song's strength lies in its emotional vulnerability; the sparse arrangement places the focus squarely on the lyrical content and the vocalist's heartfelt delivery. It successfully creates a sense of longing and introspection, making it potentially suitable for poignant scenes in film or television dramas, perhaps during moments of reflection or loss. It would also sit nicely in the background of a documentary or a short film. The vocals are very pleasant and fit the genre and general vibe of the song perfectly.
However, from a production music standpoint, the track could benefit from a few refinements to broaden its appeal and versatility. While the simplicity is charming, the overall sonic palette feels a bit limited. Introducing subtle textural elements – perhaps a touch of ambient pad, very light strings, or even the distant sound of rain to complement the lyrical theme – could add depth and dimension without sacrificing the song's intimate feel. The mix, while clear, is also somewhat dry; a slightly warmer, more immersive reverb could enhance the emotional impact, particularly on the vocals and piano. There is use of a subtle reverb/delay on the vocals which is nice, but could be brought a bit more forward. Also, some low-end elements could enhance the overall mix.
In terms of industry standards, "Chasing Echoes" demonstrates a solid foundation in songwriting and performance, particularly in its lyrical storytelling and vocal delivery. However, it currently sits between a singer-songwriter piece and production-ready track. To fully maximize its potential for sync placements, a touch more sonic polish and a slightly broader arrangement could elevate it to a more competitive level. It would be greatly beneficial to add a fade out to the song, instead of the abrupt ending.
Overall, "Chasing Echoes" is a touching and well-crafted song with genuine emotional resonance. With a few strategic enhancements to its production and arrangement, it could become an even more versatile and compelling piece for a variety of media applications.

LYRICS
[Intro]
Oh, the wind it knows your name,
Carries whispers just the same,
In the quiet, I remain,
Chasing echoes, chasing rain.
[Verse 1]
The sky is torn, the leaves they fall,
In quiet towns, we hear the call,
Your shadow lingers in the cold,
A story left, but never told.
[Chorus]
Oh, the wind it knows your name,
Carries whispers just the same,
In the quiet, I remain,
Chasing echoes, chasing rain.
[Verse 2]
A fading light on dusty roads,
Where memories are heavy loads,
I walk alone, the night is near,
But your voice, it keeps me here.
[Chorus]
Oh, the wind it knows your name,
Carries whispers just the same,
In the quiet, I remain,
Chasing echoes, chasing rain.
[Bridge]
And in the silence, I can see,
The part of you that’s lost in me.
[Outro]
Oh, the wind it knows your name,
Carries whispers, soft as pain.
