The scene is this: Two lovers, separated by fate, finally reunite. They rush towards each other and embrace, then share a tender kiss....

This song is probably the best song I've ever written. It took me forever to finish, but it's done. Hope you guys enjoy.

Tell me what you think.

Weird, never got around to mentioning that this got 8th place in the MAC9 Valoltines. Thanks to all of you who thought that this was good enough for that spot! Muchas gracias!

Very Pretty

I think it does follow the story quite fully. You have a very romantic outlook of music. Very nice violins in about 2:35 with the countermelody. I think the clarinet could've been used more. Also, the ending I thought was a bit abrupt. With a romantic and beautiful moment of the story like that, I would maybe try to pull of a "Firebird Suite" Finale by means of the overly exaggerated dynamics and tempo changes. The beginning caught me by shock, but I like that effect :). I think you have something great going. The ending could be more dramatic, but thats my only complaint. I myself compose in the impressionistic style, so it's nice to hear a romantic (sort of russian nationalistic) style that you have. GOOD JOB :)

It's funny that you say that I have a romantic view of music, especially since this is the first time out of 50 songs that I've ever tried to actually make a slow romantic song. Most of my songs either had a battle part or were battle-songs all around. OMG if you heard my earlier work, your mouth would drop at what I'm making now.

I should have used the clarinet more, but now I gotta do my insane finale. There probably won't be much in the way of tempo changes, although there will be some. However, there will be plenty of dynamics, plenty of crashes, plenty of brass, plenty of everything. I can feel it coming together in my head, although very very vaguely.

Thanks for the review dude!

Wow

This song is amazing! :-)
It's definatly going to defeat my song.
I hope you'll do well in the MAC and you have a good chance that this is going to be in the top 5.
And now the things you can do to make this track better:

Keep up the good work!

I can never know, I don't want to get overexcited about this song cuz the judges may see it differently. I'll be happy just to place. And don't put your own entry down like that, your song is plenty good. You're working your way to becoming a great audio artist. Peace man and good luck!

yay my pc stopped fuckin up

i listened to it once through now im listening again and reviewing

intro is good, it really does a great job of showing that the lovers are meeting for the first time in forever

like the flutes afterward, gives me the feeling that the two are feeling the highest form of perfect peace, so yeah flutes good, i think some chimes or bells would go nicly in the background there though

at :53, it has a really uplifting feel to it, which again is what two lovers should feel then...

1:26, i love that alot it has this totally creepy feel to it

1:41 i like this to cuz it smoothly starts to become happy again

i would try to find some better horns for that ensemble right after all that, the notes are all good, but the quality of the particular horns just isnt epic enough, ide recommend trying to find some vst's

2:12, has an odd ethnice feel to it, im not sure where the ethnicity might be from but its just odd, which is not bad

im not going to bash on your outro, cuz this isnt complete, but i cant really give any advice as to what to do with it, so your on your own there

pm me when you have your final masterpeice finished

9/10-im anticipating an oustanding final
5/5-plain and simple it was great

peace

blackattackbitch responds:

Thanks man, I'm taking all of your advice into consideration. Unfortunately I can't do anything about those horns as that section is forcibly saved due to yet another computer failure. At least I anticipated this one though and did as much as I could with the song before I let the computer die that time.

I can still add the chimes and bells though, and expect them in the finished copy if I can get some good sounding bells.

Can't figure out the ethnic sound though. Must have been the type of woodwind I used. That's the only thing I can think of.

Sorry I can't type more, but I gotta get around to checking out your songs, can't let that delay anymore. Peace!

5/5 10/10 Awesome.

Do you have a story behind this song? I'd like to know what it is.... :D CHEERS

blackattackbitch responds:

Oh yeah I forgot all about that. The story is basically that two lovers, separated by fate, finally reunite. They run toward each other and embrace in the most intimate of embraces. Then they kiss for the first time in months.

Like it.

Very calm and flowing, with good instrumental progression. I enjoyed listening to it all, and look forward to when it is finished. Keep up the good work.

Kind regards -
