Reviews for Love, As I Know It (MAC9)

[Lamplighter]

Ack!

This is annoying. Here I am, a year older than yourself writing songs and giving them to the girl who inspired them. I come and listen to some of your music because you reviewed me in the past, and now I feel bad.

First off, your talent is amazing for someone your age. I feel like it's a waste for the girl not to hear this, even if you're putting it up for the rest of the world to listen to. I convinced myself to stop keeping my songs to myself and give them to the girl who inspired them, and it went very well. I suggest you do the same, because this song would... like, blow her away.

Seriously, this has a very good chance with placing in the MAC9. Best of luck to you!

:) thanks alot lamplighter;
Personally I think you are more talented than I - by far,

and the thing about this girl is.. she's way out of my league - of course she's a mate, so I don't really wanna go and do something that just sinks our friendship.
*^^ sorry i couldn't resist a joke about the SS friend-ship xP*

wow, you think it'll actually place? thanks again :)

dude cool song, but look on the bright side, you have a great talent and friends, neither of which i can say about myself i'm afraid :(

Zero123Music responds:

i have no more talent then anyone else.
Pm me when some of your stuff is up please.

don't doubt yourself - but always try and notice small things and get everything perfect.

Friends? I'll be ur friend xD lolol - but If I want something, like a review - I never expect it back unless I give one to someone else.

thanks for the 10 - and well, never be afraid
(though coming from me after just saying i'm too scared to show the girl this song is hypocritical^^)

Always room to improve

"A raw piano love song for a girl at my school. but no-one at school knows I compose :p
meh, she'll never know"

I was exactly like that at my high school till last year. I decided to tell one of my friends. Just ONE and now half the school knows I make music. :-/ Was just at a soccer game today and a guy I know asked about my music. Was kinda funny cause I never mentioned anything to him about it.

Anyways enough ranting for the song. I'm a fan of reverb so I say give the piano more reverb to seem like it's floating. Maybe even a new piano sample could help you out :P .

As for the feeling of the song it's nice but a touch melancholy. I figure love is a mix of emotions but you stick with one which is aight. At 1:13 you switch to descending arpeggios which almost changes the mood and image of the song. It seems like it doesn't feel fit with the song, it almost reminds me of the Final fantasy series of music. Just try to stick with one idea when making a song like this and always keep dynamics in mind.

Cheers.

Zero123Music responds:

hmm, yes - thankyou.

a very helpful review.

1. Reverb - I'm gonna put a reverb bus in and some instruments - like strings.

2. I just thought of the descending arpeggios and thought it was kinda different,
but if there is anything anyone doesn't like - I'll cut it^^

3. I totally forgot about dynamics - so thankyou. (but this was recorded - so dynamics seem natural when I'm playing. but of course a keyboard is not the same as a nice piano)

The reason i uploaded so early is because I thought the MAC9 deadline was on that nite :-/ I was wrong lol.

thanks alot - and this has been really helpful.

Zero123Music responds:
