Little fey on her bed found a typewriter for her birthday, on wich no friends visited.
probably, from her father but it was morning and he had not returned yet.
There was a snowstorm outside raging, little fey was oh so worried.

'ill write a letter to the snowmen"

~Dear snowmen, please bring my father home im so alone and cold here, it is my birthday and i dont want him to be buried under all those inches snow, while im waiting i get colder, do please hurry-

But she got one year older, and no snowman had been seen.

Little fey on her bed found a letter for her birthday, on wich no friends visited.
Could it be? Is this an answer on the letter she had sent?
Or, was it perhaps from her father, a solid proof he was not dead..
There was a snowstorm outside raging, and little fey.. she started reading:

"Dont worry fey your father's here, but can no longer come back home. He slipped down a slope and fell down a crack he did not break yet was quite bent.. an ice cone he remains in 'our land.. But we will get him fixed right up here so please.. if you could wait one more year"

But she got one year older, and no snowman had been seen.

Little fey on her bed found nothing for her birthday on wich no friends had visited.
Saddened she picked up the typewriter...
'ill throw it out, it were all lies.. what do they take me for, where is my father where has he been i have had it!" and opened the door.

But outside it snowed now fiercer than it had ever, and in her garden fifty snowmen stood and smiled. From behind them came her father walking toward little fey.

"Its been three years now, but without you i had really died my child, you are very clever, and hey..in the first place was i stupid to forget your birthday.. so had rushed myself into town.
It got darker and the road was hardly to be seen.. was i dreaming? am i dreaming rescued by a snowman team?"

Little fey held her father in her arms even tighter but had to ask as it made her wonder so..

"But father, if you didnt.. when that went down who gave me my typewriter?"

And behind her laughed a voice 'Merry christmas, ho ho ho.

I really enjoy listening to this track. Even though it's short, from start to end you feel that something is happening; a story being told, be it the one you told in the autor comments, or the one I made up for myself.
Great Work Calamaistr/ 5/5

Calamaistr responds:

Thank you. You made me curious to the story you made up for yourself though. :p

Touching :)

Wow.. Can I be honest? I think the touching story of Fey gave this track more character and becouse of that it became so much better!
I love it when people have a story to their track, it makes the music more alive and it gives the listener an idea of what the composer had in mind writing the melody.

The piano you used isn't the best, but it did make the track sound more suitable for an old game. Something like Harvest Moon or an old RPG game. I actually quite like the "bad" quality of it, makes me feel nostalgic. :) I love the effect you have in the background. That ticking sound, or as i hear it, the sound of snowflakes coming down from the sky.

Awesome work Calamaistr! :D Just plain awesome!

9/10
5/5

Calamaistr responds:

Yea i used fl keys for the piano and enhanced its sound with a bass guitar because i couldnt find my quality piano (only recently got a V2 download containing such and still being new to the whole fl thing i had some trouble directing it to the right destination filewise.)

The tinkles indeed were meant as snowflakes or at the least the verification of winter.

At the beginning is still the sadness of her father gone, with just a little hope and the childs imagination of writing a letter to the snowmen to bring her father back, when the melody sets in the hope becomes longing and happyness that she actually recieved confirmation her father is still alive leading into their reuniting.

Tbh the story wrote itself as i was typing, listening and adjusting parts in the music.

secrectly im also hoping that it might inspire a flash artist to make it into something more. :)
Im very pleased with this entry on my own work and i think thats the most important.

Thank you for recognicing these things tomppaah. And thanks for the review. ^^

calming

this song gives me a calming feel.

Calamaistr responds:

mmm, i wanted to make something winterstyle already, i had that whole winterfeeling so i started typing that story and making the music, youre right its very calm. Probably because of background tinkles, seems to work. :) thanks for the review.
