Wow! I have had some troubles with songs in the past but this one tops them all! I swear I have rendered this song out and posted it only to find another mistake. Over and over and over again. This is my first semi-serious attempt at using strings in a song. I must say that I am pleased with the outcome and I hope anyone who hears this will be too.

Story: A new world birthed through the fall of an old one.

Rate, review, enjoy Or all three if you want/can. And if you hear something that needs changing let me know, I have put to much time into this piece for me to not care about it.

Oh another thing, I think it would be cool to have a quote somewhere in the middle where nothing is really going on so if anybody knows something that could fit in there and has some relevance to the title that would be awesome.

Thanks, See you around!

meh

This didn't really catch my attention.

It was kind of chill, but to quirky to really be a good chill song. At least in my eyes.

Still, you obviously have talent, so keep working at it!

love it

The strings ambience mix is amazing, it's like so mastered, you're gonna go far C: keep 'em coming! favorited :D

It's amazing, you just "decided" to try strings, and BAM it sounds awesome and like it was mastered. Strings usually take a while to be able to understand, but you just grabbed it by the throat and tamed it completely. Impressive, you'll definitely go real far.

Marks-a-lot responds:

Ha, I told those strings not to fuck with me and they listened. They aint goin to be takin no cookies form my jar no moe if you know what I'm talkin about! (all that was in reference to the strings.

5/5

This is really relaxing, yet at the same time it somewhat 'pressures' me to advance, somehow. It's sophisticated, very airy, and it has an 'unlimited potential' feeling to it. You did really well on this. The only thing which could have been a bit better were if you could possibly change the sound which almost loops through the entire song. That happens to be the synthetic wah-wah noise. Maybe add a little variation to that, or something. Anyhow, it's pretty damn good, and the beat picking up around the minute mark along with the strings which fade in complete your work saying that you did what you could to make a pleasing, and enjoyable tune for all of us here at newgrounds. Excellent beginning, middle, and end. I was never once bored! I'm very impressed, and urge you to keep up the awesome work! You earned my rare 10/10. =]

Your friend,

Ha, yeah I kind of forgot about that synth. I kind of wanted to change it up but it was weird. I made it in FL for some reason(should have done it in Cubase) so when I rendered out to a wav it made it really hard to loop. Soo, I just recorded it for like 7 min and used that clip. then something happened and fl closed out and I lost my adjustments on the knobs in FL so I couldn't remake it exactly. I tried to turn it down at parts though.

I am just surprised you didn't say anything about the weird violin thing at the end. that's what I don't like about this piece.

Thanks for another stellar review!

*speechless*

Wow... I don't know your reason behind this, or what it stands for, but if the title holds true, then oh my... I'm overwhelmed by feelings. The strings, you took a crack at it, and you did it, did what? I don't know, but it feels amazing. It feels like I'm lingering in outerspace watching the planet fall, but see how peaceful it is. That even though death takes his payment, he does it with such elegance and beauty. Your song is good. I don't know if it is an ambiance, DnB, techno, classical or what, but the way you used the strings and the fading in-and-out sound was amazing. I don't know what it is. Now, some advice, was I loved the ending, yet you just end with some bass, it felt like it built up to something big, and it was, but I think it needed a bit more, now, I'm no music man or anything but that's what it felt like. Again, you are yet to disappoint me, I love it!!! Another EXCELLENT job from you!!! -*Three Cheers!!!*-

Marks-a-lot responds:

Ahhh yes here he is the man of the hour! I feel like I rushed a lot of things in this song (the ending especially) and I am thinking about going back and doing some tune ups on this one. If that is the case your comments will surely be in mind for the edit. thank you for the review and support.
