I think this is the first 10 (or full 5 stars after the redesign...) I've ever given to anyone... You've created an absolute masterpiece, which is absolutely astounding considering the fact that you're still fairly young! The climaxes/crescendos are sometimes a bit unexpecting, but that's just a small point. Other than that, there isn't a lot more criticism I can give... I like the melodies, the harmony, the overall feeling, the flow, the tempo changes, the mastering... Yep, pretty much everything! You've really made it sound 'natural', which is a great achievement. Well done!
All in all, 10/10 (screw the new rating system) and 5/5! Sorry my review wasn't as useful this time though :)

I'm flattered, honoured and speechless AT THE SAME TIME. Thanks :3.
"The climaxes/crescendos are sometimes a bit unexpecting, but that's just a small point."
Haha you might be right! I see where you're getting at. Thankfully after the first listen you'll know when the crescendos are and can expect them, so I guess to a new listener this is only an apparent problem for four minutes :P.
"Other than that, there isn't a lot more criticism I can give... I like the melodies, the harmony, the overall feeling, the flow, the tempo changes,"
Thanks, that's good to hear!
"the mastering..."
Wow that's a surprise! A pleasant surprise too. I'm not usually very good at mastering, lol.
"Yep, pretty much everything! You've really made it sound 'natural', which is a great achievement. Well done!"
I'm relieved to hear that since I did work on getting it to sound more real than my other orchestral submissions.
"All in all, 10/10"
:D
"(screw the new rating system)"
Haha, agreed!
"and 5/5! Sorry my review wasn't as useful this time though :)"
No man it really helpful, and a lot more detailed than your average NG review.
Thanks a LOT for going out of your way and reviewing this. It's much appreciated!
This is a very very professional and well done piece. The harp melodies remind me of the soundtracks of Radiant Historia and hell, even Phoenix Wright. I think you'd be an excellent composer for video games! This would fit very well in one. Not in a movie though, then it'd be too cheesy. But still, yeah, great GREAT work on this. I hope that you end up actually getting places with your immense musical talents.
By the way, I think it would be a good idea for you to compile all of your best works and release them as an album on either Soundcloud or Bandcamp. I'd be sure to download!
"This is a very very professional and well done piece."
Oh, two very's not one. Thank you :3.

Haven't heard of them, but I'll certainly give them a listen when I don't have such a massive workload of maths homework...
"I think you'd be an excellent composer for video games! This would fit very well in one. Not in a movie though, then it'd be too cheesy."
Some people tell me my songs will fit great in films while others say it'll fit great in games. I'm cool with both I guess, haha.
"But still, yeah, great GREAT work on this. I hope that you end up actually getting places with your immense musical talents."
Naw man, I'm a programmer at heart. Also I'm deaf from one ear which severely hampers my musical ability, believe it or not!
Although doing stuff like film scoring and making soundtrack for games has always been a dream of mine. I won't pursue it, but nevertheless I find making soundtrack really cool!

I dunno about that - my best works range from pure orchestral, to rock, to video game, to techno, to pop, etc... having an album with so many different genres isn't very good because the person buying the album would (most likely) only be interested in a handful of similar genres. Although it's a nice idea; maybe when I make more good songs of the same genre I can compile an album, who knows!
This is... epic! You're a real music genius! The song and the story fits real well. It starts with a gentle music, then getting more "fiery", it's like telling the feeling of "struggling"... or something like that, then it gets gentle again, the composition is awesome! I downloaded this XD
I think the best adjective for this masterpiece is INSPIRING. It really makes your imagination work and bring you some brilliant ideas like happened to me. While listening to this song, I almost had the complete picture of a future flash-movie. Hope you don't mind using the song in my project :)
