Interesting

Well first of all I'm a pianist, so I love piano music but I'm a tough critic of it. I love that you put this in as a metal song, I totally think piano music can be metallic, especially Beethoven. The music is pretty good, ovbiously not Chopin but a lot better than anything I can compose. I felt like the main theme was a bit overstated in the beginning, however, even with the key changes, just not quite enough variety, at least not until later. Overall not too bad.

Yeah, a lot of early composers like Beethoven had some really heavy stuff, if their stuff would be transposed to guitar(which a lot have lol) it would sound really metal. After listening to it again, I can see what you mean, I kinda stuck with the main theme and rhythm except for 2 or so parts in the song, I think I just liked the main theme too much lol...but thanks for your review, I appreciate your insight on it man.

Sweet

I absolutely love the darker/sad/angry type of songs, and this song is right down my alley >:}

There are some pauses in the keys, but then again you are playing this live, and that earns a lot of respect points from me.

I liked the slow down, little flutter of notes before jumping back into it more aggressively. The strings that accompany the piano, though repetitive, helps a good deal.

The song morphs ever so slowly into a happy feel, and then back into a darker core. A very interesting morph.

The song itself doesn't move around too much. My favorite part i'd say is the staccato bursts of strings and lower end piano while that treble segment plays again and again, and then slow down, you increase the octave of the repetetive segment, and introduce much fiercer, much more powerful strings.

Nice.

You play quite well, though again I would have liked to hear some more support instruments. I am a firm believer that chords give a song a lot of power if used properly, as well as an arsenal of different instruments.

The ending was abrupt, but acceptably so.

Good stuff again jdh504, keep up the good fight and keep em coming!

jdh504 responds:

Thanks again for a another great review. Yeah, I'm sure a good bit of parts in this song are repetitive. I'll definitely have to look more into using more chords and playing a bit more with my left hand for support, I'm still getting used to that being that I've never really taken any piano lessons, but I've been messing around with it for a good bit. Yeah that ending was pretty abrupt, but I did have another ending I was thinking of using, but I wasn't sure, the other ending would've involved me going back into the major key I was in earlier, then playing the same type of rhythm of that slow piano part except in the major key, then either ending it off at that, or ending it with the main melody of the song...but thanks for the awesome review man, I really do appreciate it, I'll be sure to check out some of your work, I probably will once I get back from school, as I'm about to leave in a little bit, but thanks again man.
