Lamentation

Author Comments

"A myriad of men are born; they labor and sweat and struggle; ...they squabble and scold and fight; they scramble for little mean advantages over each other; age creeps upon them; infirmities follow; ...those they love are taken from them, and the joy of life is turned to aching grief. It comes at last--the only unpoisoned gift earth ever had for them--and they vanish from a world where they were of no consequence, ...a world which will lament them a day and forget them forever. "

-Mark Twain, Chapters from My Autobiography, III Ch. VI, 1906

Nice job!

This song makes me...very...very........sleep..y.....
....Good job though i love it!

Excellent

Perfect example of a Lament.

Indeed.

It is too sad, that's all I find wrong with it. The qoute is telling and there's no point for me to insist on reactions and themes. I like the piano, the solitude of those keys and their melodic lullaby seem to be put over a sad violin by accident. It looks to me like a world seen from the cradle, with innocence and complete lack of understanding. You know when you see somebody that has no idea what the world is really like and you feel so sorry for them that one day they will be hit and won't understand why? When you wonder why would anybody bring a child into this world of no values? That's the feeling I get from listening this song and although I hate it (the feeling), I love it (the song).

Wonderful

I absolutely love this peice as it is calm and peaceful, also your opening quote is a very powerful one and goes with the peice perfectly. Keep up the good work.

great song!

the opening reminds me of the music from lufia and the fortress of doom.. Then it goes off into its own lil original sound wich just flows wonderfully and everything goes together. Great work on this song and wonderfully done! Keep it up!
