Score: 9
"Lovely and haunting."
date: May 26, 2008
I do admire songs that give this feeling. The backstory to this adds all the more impact to the piece. It's wonderful that people can express themselves through music as well as other types of art, and so vividly too. I suppose I could only do that effectively in writing. Through this, I can imagine the pain you felt in the moments as you ascended those stairs.
I close my eyes, and I can picture myself walking up dark stairs. It feels like gravity is certainly working against me, as it seems each step that I take is a thousand pounds heavier than the last. That's what I see in my mind when I hear this. Am I on the right track? I love music that allows me to do that. It unlocks a new door of imagination and it is very inspiring.
I do love the instruments used, and the way they were coalesced into this piece. It's a lovely mixture.
Of coure, I'm no music critic so I cannot use the same words or names those who are musicaly inclined can. I'd like to say some things I think are correct, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Forgive me for that. I am a picky critic, and as much as I'd like to give it a 10, I must give it a 9, as I was entranced by the music itself, with its sad, haunting spell, but it just didn't meet my standards one hundred percent. It's excellent though, don't read me wrong. I only review music that allows me to comfortably write to. When I'm in this mood when driven by music, I tend to write a lot, so forgive the length of this review. I'll certainly look at your other pieces. Hopefully, they'll grant the same charm.
Ciao, please continue composing~
