"You have a talent!"

date: February 8, 2008

Seriously, I can't believe that you've made this.
I would never have guessed that this isn't made by some professional musician (unless you are one).
You definitely have chances to advance into the music industry with this kind of writing talent!

"((VOTED 5))"

date: April 19, 2007

It was really good. Everything in this song was nice and smooth and went well together but what I thought the best part was, was the drums. They were really good. Could barely even tell they were made on the computer. But even know this was a great song, I can not honestly say it sounded one bit like what I would call country. If you asked me I thought it sounded more like pop. But still it was a great song. Good job.

"Love the feel-good vibe. Needs more variety."

by: Bezman

I love the vibe. It's country, with a techno beat. It does really sound so beautifully easy going.

I did definitely find it a bit repetitive though. If you cut the section from 16s-35s, threw away the rest, then just worked to make those 19s loop perfectly, that'd capture the flavour pretty well and it would be a brilliant loop for a menu or a single level in a game. And 19s - small filesize!

Seriously! I urge you to make a tiny loop, as I'm sure you're capable of. I know I'd definitely try and use it and I'm sure loads of others would too.

I like the way that section is introduced. I liked the variations around the 1:10 mark. I liked the chilling out at 1:40 ish. Loved the way you brought it back in (though maybe a touch louder on the bass beat at that point would've worked well).

I just don't like the way that for the most part it's just a repetition of a 20s piece, with variations here and there. I think I just don't consider the variations enough to make this into a perfect piece as it could be. I'd love to see you develop this further, maybe changing up the melodies a bit more, maybe playing with the effects and volumes... maybe you could keep the quiet part quiet for longer and add in a soft piccolo or something... Don't constrain yourself too much with the awesome section you've got here - maybe kill some instruments and throw in a new melody riding over it all at one or two sections?

Just throwing in ideas.

==
Basically, I think this is awesome. It's a brilliant feel-good track and I love the vibe. I just think that as a piece of music it has the potential to be taken further with more interesting variations.

But in any case, you've SERIOUSLY got to make this into a short, seamless 19s loop like I said.

That would be BRILLIANT!
