Author's Response:
I started composing the song when they announced the contest, but then I ended up composing it for somebody else. I miss her and I did printed that feeling into this song. Did you even listened to the music as a whole? Melody? Harmony?... anything besides what instruments I'm using?
On the other hand, what exactly is original for you?
Do you know what happened back at the children lullaby contest? There were some people claiming their songs were real original and actually standing a chance of winning, but the truth was that none of these songs would fit as a lullaby song, not for anybody's children.
Guess what happened? The songs that weren't "original" at all actually spotted top places (Me in third :D).
What I mean is, this isn't a -let's throw something "original" in there but not totally fitting or barely fitting at all- contest. This is a sad -sorrow contest. Songs are supossed to sound sorrowful and you cannot bash every classical song out there for the mere reason it already is "unoriginal".
In the end, SAD and well written music is the one spotting top places.
Glad you liked it though
