"Fantastic.."

Srsly, this is a great piece, it hits something deep inside each of us whihc is just yearning to come out. U helped it to burst out. This piece is fantastic!

The strings and piano blended in brilliantly, i always like strings and piano, ever since i heard some of my fav authors on NG use them together fantastically, ive been on the lookout for string and piano.

The fact that u used a flute also helped seeign as im a great fan of the flute. However, the one thing i didnt like was that the ending cut off a bit too abruptly. Maybe u could wokr on that a bit more.

Overall, fantastic piece!

"Nice an Pretty"

If I where a dick I'd say this sounds like a generic love ballad, but since I'm not I'll be much more subtle about it. :)

Everything fits well together, the strings sort of following the main beats of the piano. But they don't seem to do anything to different from the main theme the piano has set.

The same can kind of be said with the other instruments that where added in. This isn't to say it 's a bad thing, it would just be nice to hear a bit more variation, and maybe a chord change somewhere.

And I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but the song seems a little right heavy. I mean this by, since i use headphones to listen and the right side seems to have more noise going to it throughout, and since I have weird hearing, it kind of distracted me a bit.

But other than those few problems I liked it, it was pretty. =3

"Good use of strings"

by: Coop83

I've always liked the sound of strings combined with Pianos - ever since I listened to Queen as a small child. This piece is slightly different from those beginnings, but it stills trikes a powerful chord within.

I think that this is a nicely arranged piece that really gets into the sound and feel of a well laid out piece that sounds tranquil and triumphant. The imagery that floats around my head is such like the farm worker, relaxing on a grassy hill in the middle of summer, with a wheat stalk protruding from his mouth. The whole feeling should be not a care in the world and that's pretty much what you've given us.

A nice sound from the flute solo and the way that it compliments the harp is very nice - some very powerful instruments that you've chosen to use there, which can be unwieldy, but this is a good set up and none of them become too controlling of the piece, working kind of like a relay team to get through. Brilliant.

"Very nice"

by: Haggard

date: November 14, 2009

I like this song, it's very nice and has a good atmosphere. Also I think the intro is good as it is now. I like the slow fade in of the piano. Then when it is fully faded in, some other instruments join the piano. As I've said, I like it and I don't think you should change it (sorry aliaspharow, but I have to disagree with you here :P ).

Anyway, I think the song's strongess is that it is quite slow. You give the song time to develop, the melodies have a much better impact on the listener that way, imo. If you speed this up chances are that it all may sound too hectic and thus you would ruin the song.

However, there are sometimes a few background sounds that don't fit too good into the song, for example at 2:26. It just sounds a bit off to me.

"What's with all the low scores?..."

...I don't see why this got so many 8's and 7's. I, for one, really enjoyed it, and although it does have its weak points, you portrayed the feel you were going for in this song excellently. So, in other words, it's time for another kick ass review! XD

The melodies are probably some of the best things about this piece. Piano played such nice melodies, which stay inside your head. I actually had a similar melody in mind before I heard this, and I was going to try and turn it into a song until I found out a similar melody had already been taken :P. Not only the piano melodies are nice, but even the other instruments. I liked the strings' melodies, and I also liked the part at 1:35, since it was a great break from the main melody.

Instruments, as aliaspharow said, were perfectly chosen, and complimented each other very well. They were good quality, and the flute was a great addition to the song. Still, I don't know if it's just me and my awful hearing, but I think some of the flute's melodies had chords in them, and flutes can't play more than one note at the same time :P. Also, I agree with aliaspharow, the instruments, mainly strings, were too bland. Add some more reverb, and give them a little more fullness.

The song's transitions were very well done. I couldn't find any rough transitions, except that I'm not too sure about that transition at 2:39. The flute sort of came out of nowhere, maybe you could fix that by slowly fading the piano out and the flute in (while playing the strings in the background). Other than that, the song flowed smoothly. New instruments were introduced really well; I liked the introduction of the flute quite a lot.

The structure is OK, a little simple, but did the trick. Variety wasn't that bad either, and although I think you could've done a piano solo with a different melody somewhere in the middle of the song, I can't say the song got repetitive, since just when I thought the melody was being repeated too much, it switched to a different melody.

The intro is lacking a good buildup, IMO. I'd rather you'd start it with the strings playing one note that lasts for 4 bars, then at bar 3 another note that harmonizes with the first one plays until the end of bar 4, and then at bar 4, another note is played and finishes at the end of bar 4. While this is all happening, you can fade the piano on like that. Ending, on the other hand, was rather good. I think you could've kept the last flute note last a little longer, but other than that, it was a good way to end the song.

This is a really nice song, and although emotional songs like this rarely get me interested in them, you actually managed to make me download it, and that shows you have a lot of talent. Keep up the great work! ;).
