thats plenty fine, knowing that it induced some kind of story period is enough for me ^^. Thank you for the review and support, i'm glad you liked it! The song was meant to be longer, but I wanted it short and sweet. Perhaps i'll put the longer version up one day...
Thanks again for the review ^^.
Never cease to amaze
It seems like every song I listen to has the same review I agree with, but seemingly with by different people. Just to continue such a tradition, I must say I have never heard a piece of yours I do not find amazing and beautiful.
As for the review before mine, I got the same image in my head before I even read your review. o.o Creepy.
It takes true talent to write a piece like this and at the same time "Rage of the Champions", two truly opposite songs.
And I must say, I prefer these more serene songs to your more action-packed songs. Mayhaps because your "action packed" ones would fit better in a film or something visual with them, while this song is less dependent on visuals (excluding mental visuals that is).
Please continue with this, for I know you have more fans than you could count :D
I personally like these types of tracks more too, not because they don't rely as much on mental imagery, but more so! At least in my books, because the song is moving slower, it has more time to let me wander, and let me create, and that is by far the most wonderful thing that music can let you do. On the other side of that coin, like you mentioned, it can potentially also serve to only soothe, to let the mind release it's active state, and drift for just a while, into emptiness.
I will continue for as long as I can 200monkeys, hopefully that will be for a long while, I am having far too much fun living in these worlds.
Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!
Moving
Peaceful, calm and bittersweet. Those are my words to describe this piece of art.
In other words. I love it!
Story story...stories!
Here's my story (and I apologize beforehand). Serious comment located below.
Wario farted and the whole Mushroom Kingdom suddenly vanished. Mario sets on a quest to do something (haven't quite figured that part out yet, but it involves apple sauce, just don't ask how). It also involves mushrooms and somehow Luigi's involved too, again (probably still living in Mario's shadow, or something, you know how he is). Peach is just Peach (thought I was gonna say peachy, didn't ya) and ends up getting kidnapped by a giant ................ ummm ............. let me think .............. ummmmmmmmm .................. turtle, whose name so happens to be (yes you guessed it) Bowser, aka "I got my ass whooped by Mario so many times it's a miracle that I'm still here".
Turns out that: Mario was in Toronto, or New Jersey (hell if I know); Peach ended up lost, in the woods, somewhere (probably in here own backyard); Bowser is really a kangaroo disguised as a monkey (that sucked); and Yoshi is a vegetable. Hell I'm just making this up as I go along. Screw Yoshi (not really). And toad is the most useless character in this game, or movie (whichever is funnier). Kill the infidel! Buy more useless crap!
___ OMG? Who writes this crap?

But seriously, this is a great piece of music. I apologize, but I couldn't resist. I felt both happy and sad at the same time, and very few songs I have listened to on Newgrounds have failed to do that. This could easily fit into the game I'm making with RMXP (RPG Maker XP). A great aftermath piece. "The price we pay for war is greater than the reward of victory," or something like that (sorry I'm not really good with proverbs).
I hope I haven't offended anybody (probably going to be voted as a useless review, but who cares) and that you guys have a good sense of humor. Keep up the already good work.
10/10
5/5
Thank you for your time,

P.S. This is the longest review I have ever written here (and I still have 2,072 characters to write, nice).
great song!
its really soothing yet a bit sad.
sorry, i cant help my self! heres a story i pictured while listening:
A lone soldier walks across the ruins of his home village, long ravaged by the war that ended nearly a week ago, he feels his vision slowly fog, due to his fatal injuries. The soldier carries on though, as if some invisible force is pulling him, refusing to let him die until he fufilled some goal. He soon happened upon the ruins of his house, long burned to ashes and dust, slowy fading away into nothing, he colapses at a near by tree, where the graves of his loved ones stood. A fell breeze brushes his cheek, as if welcoming him, as the last sunset he would ever see took place before him, its gold and crimson rays touching the ruined village, and the lone soldier was now at peace....
sorry again! great song, keep up the good work!
don't apologize! it's a very touching story. Without knowing anything about this soldier, I can feel his unexplainable desire to die with his kin. Share victory, share defeat. An army, a people are destined as such.
Thanks for the story, and the review! Glad you liked it.
