Reviews for One of Those Days

[LucidShadowDreamer]

The moment I heard that piano I knew I would love this piece.
I was not wrong.
In fact, far from it.

You're great at singing, dude! I've heard you sing earlier in Ceevro's collabs, but you sound wonderful on your own as well :3
One could say you... Own, on your own ;)
Sorry for that, it's late :p

But yeah. The piano is brilliant. It sounds like an upright, it's catchy, it's jazzy, it's rhythmic. What else does one need?
Perhaps some good singing.
The melody is awesome, and really fits the entire theme.

The lyrics are very well written too. I'm a sucker for somewhat darker tracks, and this one gets that feel through in a very nice way.

Oh, and 1:56 is a cool touch!

I think you have a good chance of making it to the next round with a piece as good as this :)
Great job, and good luck ;)

Woo! Now that's a review that's music to my ears, Lucid. ^__~

I'm really glad to hear that your initial perception was far from being incorrect! I'll admit it, I was kind of nervous about submitting something like this. No matter how hard I try to fight it, that whole "not good enough" mentality sneaks into my brain and messes around with me. So far, it does seem to be pretty well received, and that's a real relief.

Well shoot, thank you! I'm no etherealwinds, but I can carry a tune. And apparently write a song or two. Who knew? I'm really happy that you liked the whole thing, especially the vocals. And the jazzy piano. And the lyrics in general, dark as they are. Oh, and that fun little section at 1:56!

The song may be melancholic and depressing, but my smile right now is anything but! You've bolstered my confidence and hey--who knows? Maybe I have a shot at getting past the Group Stage this year. We shall see! Goodness knows the other three fellows in my group are insanely talented musicians in their own right. But hey, that's what an Audio Deathmatch is all about!

Thanks again! I truly appreciate that you took the time to leave a review, and oh man...so many stars. This experience is always humbling in so many ways. :)
