"Amazing"
date: August 13, 2008
Such a powerful piece...I can't help but sit back and close my eyes as my past flashes before me. Bittersweet memories of my childhood come to mind, and I think about how much I've changed over the last few years. I also remember the tough times in life as I listen. It is sad, but I realize how they have built my character. This is a wonderful song for inner reflection and reminescence. It carries beauty and sadness, bringing back sad memories and yet providing me with hope as I look forward to what the future has in store.
Musically speaking, it is a solid composition which I thoroughly enjoyed. The electric guitar and strings at the violin just about brought me to tears. The chord progression tugs at the heart like no other, and the oboe that comes in really adds to that bittersweetness.
Great job, you're awesome! :D

A lot of times it takes hearing person after person tell me from different points of view what the a song like this really is about. I think much of the time I don't even pay attention to what I'm creating - as long as I finish it. To hear so many people remark later on concerning the defining qualities of it makes everything worth it.
