Hey, Swift-Reason! Yeah, this was one of my better songs at the time, though I've improved since then. =) A little bit of ego never hurts from time to time, so I'll agree that the piano was an especially nice burst of genius. =P

Yeah, those strings that came with FL are really annoying... but they're the ones that worked the best at the time. Hopefully, I'll get better ones before I have to use them again. >_<

I was going for my "own" sort or style of trance... yeah, it's not very similar to the commercial trance you hear ofen.

Hmm, a 6 for diversity? I can see your logic, but that's a bit low... =( The feeling I was trying to get across in this song was the "again??" feeling, every time I changed something, i.e. expanding on piano, the melody, the drums, etc. There are three sections to this song, in my opinion... from the beginning to the end of the part before the second piano pattern, from there until the end of the part before the second set of drums, and from there until the end. ;) And there's a change, subtle or obvious, in each section. My guess is the song might have dragged on, as I can imagine this song being half its length. But this is a story I'm depicting, and it's NOT 2 minutes long! XD

Hey, Swift-Reason - NEVER be uncertain about your ratings. If you think I deserve an 8, then I deserve one! It's always up to the reviewer. ;)

Thanks for the review, Swift-Reason! =D

Awww... a 3? Are you sure? =( I thought I did a better job on this than that. But I guess I can't choose my own score.

I definitely do feel proud of that piano. =) Nothing else to add. Thanks for reviewing.

Yeah, I'd have to agree the strings didn't fit. I'd have to say it was because this was originally intended to be a much more depressing song. Then it jumped up into a sort of dancier/trancier song with a "going home" sort of attitude. Your reasoning, however, with the quality not being the same, is a new one. I can see your logic. Hmm.

Glad you like it, thanks for reviewing my songs! Just one question... this is so far down my audio page! If it was that I told you to, bleh. I can't remember. Thanks for reviewing anyway. =)

Aah... more reviews are ALWAYS a good thing, no matter what song. =) This is the third review I'm responding to today, which sets me in an especially good mood. =D

It's not necessarily a piano solo as much as it's a piano harmony. You know what I mean? The only real "piano solo" is the ending, as it fades out.

Yeah, sure, I'll definitely check out your songs sometime... though right now homework's giving me trouble. >_< Please don't get on my case if it's been a few days... just send a friendly PM as a reminder if it's been a while. ;) Thanks for reviewing!

Yeah, that year didn't go well at times. Mind you, there were good parts to it - this isn't a song of the year overall, but rather I was focusing on the story from its beginning (January 2006) to the latest significant event in that story, in December 2006. Know that's not the ENTIRE story... I'm very likely to continue on this someday. Likely within the month.

This song was originally intended to be a depressing song, which is probably why you think it is one... but the song - on its own, actually - turned into what is in my opinion an uplifting one. I just couldn't stick to my original idea... but if you think I did, okay. Sure, ok. =P It was mostly the piano... I can see why you think it's sad-sounding, though towards the end I think it sounds definitely more uplifting. Hmmm.

So you're surprised that I made it before Nova... you think it's better? I can see why you would.

Yeah, ZB reviewed this song... it was because I asked him to, but it's definitely flaterring nevertheless. =D There's actually no organ in this song... I guess it's just the sound of the instruments combined. Hmm.

A midterm? Good luck! I hope you do well on it. If you're reading this response, you're better off studying! >=( Close that window! Now! XD

I definitely should try harder to make a happier song one day. It's likely it won't happen for a long time, unfortunately, as my subconsious is really the thing in control over the attitude of my songs and I've been in this style for more than a month now... but I'll try. =) Thanks for reviewing!
