Composed for the "Create a Genre Contest". Combines classical music with elements of rock and electronica. The idea of the song is to never give up, never surrender, in the face of life's hardships.

This. IS. FANTASTIC!!!
I love how you combined the machine/sounds in the background with the music near the beginning and with the rock guitar its just so amazing! Its very rare to come across an audio submission that does this, and really this was the catch of the day for me. Great job. I'd love to see more like this.
Thank you ! Glad you liked it so much.
wow very good
not gonna lie. i actually came to this page to knock you down in points cause it was in front of one of my favorites but after listening to it i changed my mind on the spot. great job
Thank you !
Not bad
Hi popraz! As I promised here's my review about the song.
First of all - it's really nicely mastered and arranged. I liked the instrumantation as well. Especially the sound of the electric gitar was really awesome.
I like the upbeat starting that breaks around 0:54 but still rises with choir and trombone (french horn?) to 1:47. Really uplifting and great sounding!
After 2:27 - awesome melody starts on the strings! I'd really loved to hear more from it maybe in a more developed way.
The tune that kicks in at 3:06 is really dinamic - loved it! Uplifting and really fits for the title and the whole concept that you wanted to showcase with the music. And it loops damn well btw.
I was thinking a lot about the track because there was something that bothered me and I couldn't figure out what is it but after the 4th listening I realised (this opininon is based on my personal taste): there is no really main tune or segment of the track.
You've put a lot of effort into it and created a lot of smaller segments and I think these are too much for a track in this lenght. And because of this non of these segments are well and fully developed or introduced and that's why it seems a bit rushed for me.
So next time maybe less but more developed segments and tunes would be better. But as I mentioned this is my personal opinion.
Otherwise good and characteristic track that has the unique marks of your own style (strings-style, percussion arangements).
So this time 8/10 and 4/5 from me - dl'd.
I hope my review will be helpfull.

Very helpful. Thank you ! And you are absolutely right about the lack of a sense of solid structure. It hasn't been rushed, on the contrary, I've probably spent too much time on it. I did this song in about three weeks, working only small bits now and then, and that probably fractured the main idea. I never realised that, until now because I was too preocupied about the small things and I missed the bigger picture, but that's what reviews are for. Thank you for taking the time to write.
