Nightwish - While Your Lips Are Still Red (cover)

[Cesic]

I've always liked this song and thought to myself...why not!!!
So I found a MIDI sequence and broke it down, added soundtracks, added synths, strings, backing vocals, and a vocal at the end, and this is it.

I overall like it - but some of the sounds are a bit "too midi". It's mixed well. Nice and even w/ good clarity. It's the sounds themselves that might use some different dialing in to make them sound perhaps a bit more "organic" (less cheap electronic)? I think a richer sounding voicings would improve something already good as it is.

Thank you so much for your insightful analysis.
The truth is, when I created it, I was aware that everything sounded a bit synth-like. I could have used a more natural piano and strings, but I did it this way.
As for the vocals, they're what I have; I still haven't gotten around to learning how to use AI programs to add vocals to my songs.
Thank you so much for your positive and not-so-positive words.
It's much appreciated.
