Alright, I clicked play on “Keep Me Alive” expecting a nice little dream-pop vibe, and whoa—those Superior Drummer beats hit me like a caffeinated drummer who just discovered reverb. The Dream Pop EZX gives it that hazy, floating-on-a-cloud feel, and then the Rock Solid EZX sneaks in like, “Hey, remember drums can actually punch?” Love the contrast!
What’s Working:

• The atmosphere is chef’s kiss—dreamy but with enough backbone to keep it from dissolving into a puddle of reverb.
• Those drum tones walk the perfect line between organic and polished (no “plastic bucket” syndrome here).
• The blend of ethereal and punchy makes it stand out in today’s oversaturated dream-pop scene.

Where You Could Take It Further:

• A more prominent low-end could give it that “felt in your chest” quality without losing the floatiness.
• A stripped-down bridge (just vocals/light percussion?) would make the final chorus hit like a tidal wave.
• If you’re singing, try doubling certain lines with a whisper track for extra ghostly texture.

Pro Tip: If you’re not already using a music distribution service like DistroKid, MusicAlligator or TuneCore, you should be—this track deserves to haunt playlists beyond SoundClick. Speaking of which, your SoundClick page has a solid vibe; just needs more eyes (or ears) on it.
