I'm back! I made this song in just 2 days, in about 6 hours, and a couple more of just listening to it and brainstorming. This song was originally made for a game, but I accidentally put so much emotion into it that I finished it and made it into a full song. This has a TON of emotional significance to me. It basically represents how I've been feeling over the past few months. I hope you guys will hear it.

Also, I'd like to watch artificial intelligence TRY to make this song.

This one can be heard a lot better with the original WAV file:

Huge thanks to @acheney for creating an amen break on SunVox!

yeah man, same. at least for me, the end of the storm is on the horizon

OVERSCORE responds:

Glad to hear that you’re almost out of it. It’s hard to remember sometimes, but these storms that we go through give us the strength of character to help others through similar trials, and ultimately become the people we want to be.

How am I supposed to give feedback to this, it's already perfect! I love the pads and emotion into this! I don't listen to drum and bass, but I might have to consider some more in the future! Good job!

OVERSCORE responds:

Thank you!! DnB has a lot of depth and variety, I definitely recommend listening to more of it :)

This track have so many good proposals on their melodies and DnB sound, i love it!
A very interesting point of this track is the long intro (+1 minute), that is not something that you hear often, usually you hear intros that not pass from 30 secs, making this something very interesting.

Also i like a lot the melodies, makes a very good ambient and merges so good with the piano, conveys a beautiful feeling.

Lastly the amen break based drums are something that sounds poweful and on certain way unique, using a amen break for full DnB sequences is a very interesting idea that i loved a lot! (sorry, i probably will use that idea for my future songs hehehe)

Maybe my only negative point is that i would liked that the kick sounded a bit strong (the kick sounds very weak for me)

Overall, amazing song! you got my 10!

OVERSCORE responds:

Thank you so much for leaving such a thorough and thoughtful review and following me, it means a lot!
The amen break is actually a very nice way to enable the other elements of a song to shine. It’s hard to describe, but it doesn’t take up too much emotional space in the song. I like how it emphasizes the other elements. When you use it, my advice is just to make sure not to mix it too loud.
The kick could definitely be louder, I agree.
Glad you enjoyed and had so many good things to say about this one!
