Reviews for "A Face in Silent Keeping"

I only wish I was as talented of a singer as you.

You are one of the few people I have given a 5/5.

You sound a lot like Evanescence and you have a somewhat bluesy tone that reminds me somewhat of some Dream Theater. Coming from a huge fan of both, that is a complement. Oh yeah, you sound a bit like Blind Melon's singer, but don't be mad because even though he was a guy, he still sounded very, very much like a woman.

You MUST keep it up!

Thanks! :D

FUCK YEAH!

slow at first but then around 3:40 BAM! AWESOMENESS!!! the whole thing was great! drums,guitar,vocals everything was good! only critisism i have is that it would have been better if it where louder... to loud is ok cause i can turn my speakers down but too quite is just bad... but the coolness of this song made up for it! KEEP IT UP! nice voice btw :) 5/5 9/10

Thanks :]

That's odd, though, that it's quiet for you. The volume is normal for me.

Awesome Work

This was very well done. I was expecting some poor singing, but your voice is very professional. The background music that starts up at 1:51 is poor on the quality side, but still decent. It definitely doesn't ruin the song though. The only way of improving that I can think of is using the full power of your voice and really screaming into that microphone. I understand it could sound a little weak because of the mic quality or even my speakers. I should also touch on the fact that the writing was done really well. I know you can write well because I see you in the Writing Forum, but I thought I should add that this particularly interested me. Great job, and all that jazz!

Thanks :]

Yeah, there are some sound quality issues. Now that I listen to it more closely, yeah, the volume on the chorus could be upped a tad. I might fix it or I might not due to laziness, but I'll keep it in mind to watch out for that in the future.

It pains me to see that such a good song...

..doesn't get the recognition it deserves, and I know the feeling. At the time of writing this review, it has but over two-hundred sixty listens. It really makes me wish that Tom had a treasure hunt for audio submissions, as this doesn't need to be overlooked.

I, myself am not too familiar with the current styles of modern music, but I really love the mood this piece sets. Such a mellow and cool feeling song is something rare to find on the Portal these days. The slow, but driving groove behind the song whisked me away to a different world, as your voice guided me like a spirit through the ether...

As far as constructive criticism, the only thing I can think of is that the song should be able to end with a bit more finality, but that's just nitpicking. It sounds great the way it is currently. I'd also mention something about including more dynamic contrast, but the low volume the song takes itself at is what give it its distinct feeling.

And lastly, would you mind sharing the inspiration behind the lyrics? Other than that, great work, and it would be a pleasure to hear any of your future projects...

InsertFunnyUserName responds:

Yeah, dynamic contrast is something I'm trying to work on. Thanks for the review.

The inspiration for the lyrics is somewhat personal, so I don't really feel comfortable sharing.

relations
