This is song is dedicated to my grandmother, who passed away (12/7/2010). Grandma, if you can hear this song, just know that it's every feeling, every memory and all the love I have for you. You were the greatest, most kind person I have ever encountered on this planet. You never wished harm on anyone and you continued to put a smile on each and every single one of our faces. Just know, that everyone in our family will truly miss and love you forever. People all over the world will hear this song, and hopefully know it's about you. I love you grandma, forever, Rest In Peace.

Special thanks to OxyJin for coming up with this beautiful melody.

Vocals are coming VERY soon to this bad boy.

between two things.
Each more appealing that the other.
Both screaming out to you.
Both beg to be picked.
Both requiring you to forfeit something.

Great song you have here.
I look forwards to seeing you talent in the future.
It's really great how this song can spark great reviews in us all.

Enviticus responds:

Why thank you very much. But it seems this song is my only good work of art and it'll probably remain that way. It seems my collaborations turn out better than my original work.

Anyway, thank you for the inspiring words.

Love,
Enviticus.

Sounds good

This has a somewhat ambient feel but also kind of sounds like Linkin Park as well. I just don't hear any vocals but seeing as you plan to add them very soon then it should sound great to hear and review all over again in the near future as well. The guitar sounds kind of like a DJ grabbed it and kept spinning it back a bit for a cool effect to it.

The keyboard sounds very nice and kind of like it had a voice at certain parts which is nice I guess. The bass tends to be a bit too loud at certain parts as well which I guess isn't a real problem for most people. The drum beat sounds cool and I like them.

Kind of gives me a feel as if I am all alone for some reason or another. Overall, very good song, looking forward to hearing it with vocals in the near future.

Not bad

Well I think it's great that you wrote this song for your grandmother who passed away, that was very kind of you. I can tell just by the length that you put a good amount of effort into this.

The melodies weren't to my liking too much, they weren't musically incorrect - they just didn't strike me as anything really original or moving. The background pads were a nice touch, but it just didn't really sound like all the instruments blended near as well as I would have liked them to. 4:45 to the end, however, blended perfectly, and was probably my favorite part of the song. The ending was very well done, as well as the intro. Both parts were strong points to me, but I'm not real sure when the main guitar first comes in fit well...maybe a gradual fade in?

The piano, guitar, and pads all seem to be kinda out there doing their own thing and not really blending into a single coherent melody to me. The background melody on the guitar seems a bit low quality, granted it's distorted, I think it could have been recorded better.

The percussion stood out to me most. I liked the bass kicks and double kicks a lot actually. I don't think anything needs to be changed there it sounds great.

The solo guitar was a nice touch, although I don't really think the long blaring notes were all that pleasant to listen to.

Overall it's a decent track. I don't think it's perfect by any means, but it gets the job done. I think it could use a touch up here and there to really complete it.

This is a work of art

This song should be respected for what the author is expressing from within. This isn't just a bunch of instruments being played as a melody.. This song is a big part of the author's life, and reflects what was a part of his life. R.I.P. To those who 0 bombed this song, you are imbeciles. Probably are jealous that this guy can make a sweet ass song AND love his grandmother with all his heart. A big fuck you to those who 0 bombed this song. This deserves top 30. I don't even like this kind of genre. Yet, this is different. I truely respect this piece. You did a damn good job. 5/5 10/10

Enviticus responds:

Thanks for the support. But Unfortunately this is NG, the same people TRYING to become /b/ because they think they're SUPER COOL GAIZ!

Not much we can do but stick together and 5 each others stuff hoping we get someone who gives crap about music to listen to our work.

Thanks for the review and support.

Love,
Enviticus

ah! GREAT SONG! and GO ON!!! don't let your arms go down, just keep goin on and always have a smile on ur face! \m/

Enviticus responds:

YOU KNOW IT!

I'll never give up music, she's the one who told me to do what I wanna do, and if I do, I should do it with nothing but everything I have.

Love,
Enviticus.
