Reviews for "Sorrow Knows Many Names"
MusicMyOxygen responds:
Thank you for the review.
i wonder..
i wonder what was going through your mind when you made this.
this sounds to me as if you're troubled, upset about something and showing it out through this magnificent piece of music.
the beginning seemed so sad to me, but there again whenever i hear a slow solo piano piece it sounds as if the musician is upset and is letting it out in a blaze of passion.
in other words it was really good, just wondering what was going through your mind at the time.
also i think i noticed a bit where you accidentally hit the wrong key but honestly i couldn't care less this is magnificent .

First, thank you very much for your review.
What was in my mind at the time? Thats a tough question. I guess what was in my mind was all of the sorrow in the world. There is some horrible and sad stuff going on in the world, as it is almost inevitable there always will be. All you need to do is take a look around and see it. I tried to channel all of the sorrow in the world that ever was into this piece, and it was a difficult task. Honestly I almost found myself crying at one point in the song, corny as it may seem.
And yes what you heard probably was me messing up, forgive me as I have said in previous reviews. I may re-record it in the future.
Again, thank you for the review. I truly appreciate getting them.

It's a nice song, but I think it's too quiet. You should either play the piano in a more aggressive way or try to turn up the volume of your mic. Because right now many fine nuances of your play just can't be heard because of the low volume.
And I think it's a shame that we can't listen to it properly, because that what I heard sounded great!

Its good to know you enjoyed it. A quiet feel was sort of what i was going for though. I realize that I probably overdid it though but that is because it was difficult finding the perfect voloumed in which to pick it up. Because while this song is overall quiest it has a part or two where it got a little louder, and you have to make it so that it picks it up, but no so much that there is fuzz or that you can barely hear it. I am not that good with recording and whatnot. I will hopefully fix the low volume issue if and when I re-record it. I am happy that you were still able to see through the low volume and to the aspects of the song and the playing of it. Thank you for review, I really appreciate getting them.
Different
I think that the soft notes approach works quite well for this tune, but I would suggest that you maybe calm the tempo down, as it seems to be a little too quick for a sorrow in places.
Making it slightly louder would not have hurt, either. You need to express yourself, but without going over the top on the volume, I admit. When the second part comes around on about 2m30s, you can feel some sort of power within the notes, but it's still too fast for the feelings that I have within.
A very ncie sounding piece, but I would have also suggested maybe a little string backing from the orchestra, as that would carry it nicely.

Thak you for your review. A soft approach was what I was going for. I caan see the advantages of a clamer tempo, but "Sorrow Knows Many Names". There are many causes of sorrow, and think that all sorrow is soft and slow is a misconception. For while a majority of the time it is, there are times when it is not.
I hear what everyone is saying about turning up th e volume a little, an dit is something I am looking into in any possible re-recordings. And who knows, I may end up slowing it down.
An orchestra? I couldn't agree more. But I honestly didn't want to risk ruining its elegance within it's simplicity of a solo piece. But then again, I may change my mind.
I thank you once again for a very thoughtful review.
