Sapphire Tears Magnetic
Christopher (merlin)
I was a bit alarmed at the beginning, thinking the melody was repetitive and generic from the get go. It does remain repetitive, but the instrumentation changing up a tad, helped slightly. I feel as though this beat is kind of weak, especially with the emphasis in the song criteria saying that this approach would not cut it. There are elements of this song that make a good sounding song, I'm just not convinced that it was the best approach for this contest criteria. Did the tempo slow down slightly? I did not like that shift down. That does not perpetuate a feeling of action and excitement. Good effort but I needed to hear more changes, harder pounding beat, and evolution of the melody with different instrumentation. 6.0
