well done
i think the umph their looking for comes from the bass which doesn't seem to be loud enough but other than that its good

Nightwasp responds:
That's a good idea. I'll see if i can turn up the bass, and repost this song. Thanks for the comment.
Good song, ok retake
It needs some trumpet or something, the deeper sounding instruments. It doesn't have enough substance, its too much bells and whistles rather than substance. The thing from the movie has power, it envelopes you and doesn't let go, this on the other hand might make you like to whistle it a but but it doesn't capture the essence of the song. Good try though, as my predecessors have said, it lacks "umph" I'll give it this 8/10 for a good try on one of the best songs I know. Don't take offense, please, this is meant to be constructive.
Nightwasp responds:
No offense taken! i'm actually quite happy that someone spent so long typing this up. 8/10 is still a fantastic score, so yeah, i'll bear in mind what you said, and make sure future pieces contian them.
I like it
It may be beating a dead horse but... I think bringing out the drums and the base a bit would do a lot for it. Trumpets would probably be nice too. You could experiment with some guitars taking a lead in part of it or just adding more background. : / Just my take. But I like the way you rewrote it.
Nightwasp responds:
Thanks for the comment. Hmmm....maybe replacing some of the strings with an electric guitar may be a nice idea...!
Not bad...
I love the original song, but you didn't do a lot to make this your own. It sounds too much like the original version for me to give you full points.
Nightwasp responds:
Thanks for the critisism. I will make sure future songs are a little bit different.
Sounds good, but too mellow.
It has a kind of upbeat, cheery feeling. I like some of the effects, but I feel that your song could use many more dynamics, including a stronger bass, building drums (not background).
Mellowing out the song has a nice effect, but it seems to take away from the climaxes of the song, and probably should be used sparingly, not throughout an entire song.
However, your song does sound good, I personally like the mellow beat (a bit repetitive), as well as the choppy (in a good way) intro. Good job. :D
Nightwasp responds:
Thanks for the constructive critism. Will take this into account on my next piece!
