i love it
this is somthing that Nobou uematsu or Yoko Shimomura would write for one of their games it has that game happiness where you know theres more there then meets the eye, it sounds like a mixure of tifas theme and somthing in the opening of kingdom hearts 2 when they are in twilight town very good job keep up the work
It is an absolute honor, but I don't think I am worthy of that comparison. Nobuo Uematsu is a composer whom I greatly admire. :D It is very intriguing that you should mention Tifa's Theme, as this has two chords which loosly borrow from that theme. You have a good ear, my friend!
Thank you for the flattering review.

Wow
My friend, not only should you keep the intro... you should do come back to that theme later in the song... perhaps towards the end to bring it all together. however, there are some hiccups in the bass line around 1:12 and 1:14 that stand out pretty bad. That being said, This piece is still pretty great.
I'm having a hard time imaging how I might transition back into that intro theme. If Icould get past that, however, I like the idea quite a bit. The bass "hiccups" were intentional, but I really hate them in retrospect. If I can manage to stop being lazy, I'll fix them one of these days. xD
Thanks for the review!

I feel bad for not writing a big review..
But in your Pieces there is not much to criticize.
This Piece sounded very much like something from Final Fantasy 7 especially at 37 seconds in, I liked the intro very much.
Nice work - Keep the intro :-)
It is an honor to be compared to FFVII! But I can't tell any similarity. >_>
Nobuo Uematsu is pretty much incredible. I've looked up to him for years. One of the more recent games he did, which is called Blue Dragon, has some great songs. Waterside is an awesome track on there. :)
Thanks for the review, my friend!

The theme....
A uplifting song to say the least...
The intro as many others have said is slightly off during 0:15 to 0:20 and bumpy as well...However i found that the piece didn't really have a happy feel.You can hear that its meant to be happy but it lacks the power of your other pieces the conviction that the song IS what its meant to represent(if thats understandable)
Then again upon reading the title it does make sense with the slow beat,However you decide.
Not your best...but still good
Yes, I believe I understand what you are saying. Though it may be in a major key, the song itself is not particularly upbeat or emotionally driven in a "happy" sense. Perhaps "peaceful" would be a better word to describe it? Whatever the case may be, I find it much easier to write sad songs for some reason. :P
I WILL successfully write a happy song...One day...Thank you for the helpful review!

intro
the intro seems fine.
the only point I noticed where it seemed wrong was between 00:15 and 00:20 where you went off from the main beat of the intro in a weird way.
If you want I can probly figure out a nice way to come off of that main beat on my keyboard without putting in a 2nd instrument.
just work with different things and see what sounds best.
but your intro is for the most part fine. idk why you don't like it.
I had to rewind it 3 times to hear what >I< percieved as wrong. but I'm sure this is a minor problem for such a great piece of work.
let the votes speak for the true quality of the song, everyone loves it so you must not have done much wrong. But if your really dead set on changing that intro.
I can help.
Lordtac.
I agree about the section between :15 and :20, and am glad you pointed it out! The rhythm prior to it was more syncopated/off beat, so I can see how it may sound odd switching to a more "straight" rhythym so quickly. I've yet to figure out how to make it satisfactory, and would love to hear any suggestions that you may have.
I hated the intro at first, but have actually come to like it as of late. I tend to change my mind very quickly. :P The only part I'd change is the section you mentioned, along with those blasted grace notes in the left hand at 1:14 and 1:24.
Thank you very much for the review. It was quite informative and encouraging. :)
