Reviews for The Lonely Music Box

[LightRiku]

So pretty, yet very sad

Aww. You must have been thinking of something or someone from the past that you miss or wish was still around, or of a time in your life that you wish you could go back to, or something like that. I can definitely hear the sadness and reminiscence in the piece. If I heard a music box like this playing in a store, I would buy it. Such a lovely but sad melody, I would wind it up and listen to it as I feel asleep after a really bad day, or anytime I felt really blue, for that matter. This loops really well, which is exactly what you want in a music box, something you could wind up tight and have play over and over again.

Soothing

You haven't put many songs up lately. I was wondering if you were ever going to post any more music!

This song is beautiful in its simplicity. Very soothing melody, and a great music box sample! Is that a soundfont? If so, where did you find it?

Nice job, 5/5

Great... as always

Nice to see that you're back smartpoetic, it has been a while ^^
You were trying to make a lonely sounding song and you hit it right on the spot, before I even read the name of this piece I imagined being lost in the sky, with nothing on the horizon besides clouds. The three stress and relief notes at 1:03 - 1:05 are very well placed.
Great job!

OOhh...

It sounded like a luluby or something! Really cool. I think it was a little bit to simple, since it was just a music box. I thnk your other submission into the Mac 08 july contest has a better chance than this one, just to say.

Yes, it is just a music box...but I entered this piece for a reason. I wrote this song while I was crying, while my heart had been splintered into pieces.

Though sweetly disguised by its calm nature, this simplicity was just a mask for the sorrow I had felt. The ringing echoes you hear deeply in the background, that is my past and my pain lingering beneath the surface.

Simple? Maybe. But let me ask you something, must music be so complex to express one's emotions? This song represents much more than a simple music box, my friend. ;)

Thanks for your review! I really appreciate your feedback! ^_^
