Excellence
This one was very professionally executed and music-wise there's probably little to tell you apart from those all successfull heartbreaking handsome boy-artists. The vocals could be a bit clearer, they get half-drowned in the music most of the time. Anyway I can easily imagine your song being played on radio stations and feeling good about it so I'd say, you got yourself a remarkable piece of music here.
You know some people have told me the vocals are too loud... haha... I just don't know what to believe anymore. I truly wish I knew how to set up the mic and software perfectly to make it sound "Just right"... but I just have to tinker until I think I have a good mix for now.
Think if I sent this into a music station in my city they'd play it for kicks?... I doubt it but I might try it on my burfday and see if I can sweet talk them into it.
Thanks for your kind words... Kathleen is it?
Take care.
Sincerely,

WOHOHH!!
Man, that was the very first professional work I have heard on Newgrounds in a really long time. Great job man! You also had that rareity of singing very well to the song. The lyrics were great to. I loved the way you pertained to childhood experiences and put it into a classical rather than a rap or heavy metal. It seemed liked you played the instruments on your own? Or did you use a program? Well, any way it is the coolest song I have heard in a very long time. Very nice, and you need to start a job with this talent. (If you don't already have one) But I do see one very thing you can improove upon. YOU NEED TO RESPOND TO YOUR REVIEWS. PEOPLE CARE ABOUT THAT. If you don't respond to your reviews, no matter how many you have, then you will seem like a jerk who doesn't care about his or her fand. Please, do that for the sake of your fans such as me. Great job and I hope to see more. =)
People seem to be up and down about my singing... I personally am in the center... I know it needs mega improvement... but am content to share with my voice as is in the mean time.
I think this song hits home a little better as a pop/classical simply because I doubt very few people look back on their childhoods with a heavy metal attitude... we all miss it from time to time... it's a very haunting emotion.
I did use a program... which took the notes I played on my piano... and converted them to different instruments. So technically I did play all the instruments... but I used a piano to do it. Make sense?... if not PM me and I'll explain further.
I do not have a job with this... and I highly doubt I will ever get one... thats just the way the world works I'm afraid.
As for responding to reviews... Man do you have any idea how many reviews a guy can get. I mean... I came home today and I had like 20 more reviews than yesterday. 10 on this song alone. It's very hard with a busy schedule to respond to every review, expecially when some of them have 100+ reviews. I think the last time I counted all of them it was something like 1300 total. But still I try my best, and everyone should know that if they want to speak with me... simply PM me or add me to msn and I'll do my best to take some time to talk.
Thanks for your lengthy review and reminding me of what is important to the people who love my music.

Titanic
If they didn't have a song for the Titanic Movie this should be there choice
It even mad me cry
That is a first
This one is really not my style.
However...it has such depth, that it deserves a 10. (I almost never give 10's)
It really does.
Straight from the heart to our ears...and hearts. Truly inspiring!
Keep up the good work. I look forward to hearing more from you. In mainstream media, I mean.
You've got potential, dude.
this is just amazing
