Reviews for "Here You Lay {=MMD=}"

Wow, Dan. Just Wow.

I think this takes the cake as your best Pop song to date. It even tops 'Sand Castles'. I think what really made the difference is the structure. Each section set up for the following, really drawing the listener into your world. And the acoustic guitar in the intro is to die for! I don't hear guitar EQ'd so perfectly in mainstream, seriously! For future reference, the drums in this piece are perfect! Really man, this is amazing stuff. I can't wait to hear more!

Beautiful

Don't ever stop doing what you do. Ever. :)

Very good

Has extremly strong emotional impact on the listener, even now at midnight in physical exhaustion when the body is weak to emotional impulse I still felt every beat.

The lyrics looked sketchy written out but they sounded beautiful the way you sang them.

For the flash artist I belive this is FMV (Flash Music Video) worthy. Also here is an idea.
----------------------
0:00 - 0:10
Slow dynamic zoom in on a man about 15 or 16 years old sitting at the end of a dock, skies are dark, its not raining but it seems like its about to, its cold, slight wind blow, and its around twilight time (about 6pm) where everything appears to be in "Shades of Grey"

0:10 - 0:19
man looks at water, Fade in (man still sitting their with overlay of memory) to memory of girlfriend at same dock with them boarding a cruise ship.

0:20 - 0:25
Him and his girlfriend are embrassing and holding eachother in a very "Loving" atmosphere, flowers in the background, and even birds. quickly fade back in to him sitting at last second.

0:25 - 0:29
animation of before mentioned scene where he is sitting on dock.

0:29 - 0:35

red rose tied to the end of the dock, zoom in close to rose so its between the camera and the man, change focus to rose, then change back to man

0:46 - 0:58
Starts raining, man reveals a ribbon (any color) he was gripping in his hand that belonged to his girlfriend, its slightly torn and appears to be worn out. Quick flashes of his gf being forced against the wall by her ex, with 2 guys on either side.

vFor all chorusv
0:58 - 1:04
Man embracing his girlfriend, as she's crying with head against his chest. background of bricks, its dark.

Back to rose tied to dock but in a top-down perspective.

1:08 - 1:18
camera looks up at sky rain should be hitting lense but doesn't, then slowing turns to ocean.

1:18 - 1:27
Fade in on guy stopping her before getting on the boat with a "warning" like look in his eye, as if he knew what was gonna happen.

1:27 - 1:37
camera looks up at sky rain should be hitting lense but doesn't, then slowing turns to ocean.
^For all Chorus^

1:37 - 1:47

split screen, On left shows the man before he met her sitting against a wall on the sidewalk in the ran no money, nothing to do, and no friends (doing badly)

Slow zoom out camera focused on rose, as you see where the dock meets the coast, cop cars arrive at the entrence with sirens, man drops ribbon and it floats away.

I hope you enjoyed that "flash idea"

its by far the most discriptive I've written, and once again, thank you for such great music, and for being the first "pop" artist on newgrounds I ever liked.

..Stunning.

You, I have to say, have one of the most beautiful voices. I can't get over how well this is sung, and not to mention the amazing lyrics. At first, when I read them before the song started, I couldn't picture anybody being able to pull them off impressively, but you certainly managed. I also feel I should compliment the music; it was subtle, and very melodic in the background, but I think everyone knows that the vocals were the most captivating part... Which is why I have to download this.
I really can't get over how beautiful this song is... It's heart-wrenching, emotionally provoking, and I can relate to the lyrics so well. You did a wonderful job making this song. Don't you love the sound of writer's block washing away? It's a great sensation, right?
<3 Much love - you made my month, with that right there.

OMG

It's fucking great i dont like pop or such things but this is only great
