"pretty good..."

date: March 28, 2009

i personally think that the drums, which were good, overpowered the piano at the start of the song. the same for the other effects up until about halfway through the song, they all seem to mask the piano and strings.

other than that its a great piece of work.

"well.."

date: August 4, 2008

making a depressing song doesnt just involve minor piano and strings I am afraid - also the glitch ruined the atmosphere. Lillium is sad - doesnt have to be depressing - it just has to invoke within you a profound sense of loss. And I am just not feeling it in this one - it seems to be struggling with itself in what it is it want to be.

Good attempt though.

"Powerful."

date: August 3, 2008

Piano is emotion-evoking - it can be happy or deeply somber. Therefore, great choice keeping with the piano. The electronic sounds are a really great touch; they don't interfere, but add interest. I love the dramatic turn-around @ 3 min., and the song as a whole is well-balanced. This is probably one of my favorite pieces from you.

"Essence"

by: SinJim

Wow, great job on this one. It's difficult to believe that your prominent genre isn't this one because you really did a great job on this song.

First off, the drums: holy crap nice.

I do agree that the buildup was a bit long but it worked well for me. The choice of pads/strings you used really fit the song and the piano pulled everything together.

At 2:45, wow everything got 10x better. I was really amazed. The theme you've got going and have described for the song really showed through and you just nailed it in the end.

I think you should shorten the intro a tad and this would be really epic. I also think you should put a sweet (a bit more complicated) piano riff in the end buildup.

Great song, fav'd, and good luck in the competition!

Author's Response:

Well on the note of the long intro I wanted to give it a bit of length to convey more of time passing by and nothing amazing happening in your life. Then at 2:45 everything takes a turn and well if I kept this sound through out the sound it wouldn't convey sorrow as much as it did earlier on.

Thank you for the review.

"Noic!"

date: July 22, 2008

My only complaint would be the very long build up till the final break through at 3:00 and the kind of weird ending. Other than that I enjoyed it. Good quality with this as well.

Good luck in the contest! 5/5!

Thanks, I always seem to mess up on how long things are. I want to give songs length but not keep it too long.

"this is what i wanted! =^_^="

date: July 20, 2008

i was hearing you other music and i wished for more classical and some glitch. it seems my wish came true, also you even ask for the listener to say that they see when they here this song and i LOVE doing that.i see lots of different stories here with in this song i don't know y. but the one that stands out the most is that of a small stray dog in the city. with no home he lives his a sad life, the only thing if beauty being the sky above him, he even thinks of suicide. then one day he falls asleep in the park thinking he will never wake up again. but he dose, not as a dog but as a white eagle,and the first thing he dose is what he has dreamd of doing for a long time. he fly's up as fast as he can go. to the top of the skay scrapers. above the city above the clwds! , he keeps going ont of r soght. end of song
