Reviews for You Must Leave Me Behind

[Everratic]

The beginning makes me visualize a character entering a new world for the first time and being astonished by the world's beauty. Then said character's friends join in on the fun!

I love the chord at :15. That's what establishes the intended mood of the piece :D

Your selection of instruments works well here. I love the melodic instrument, especially thanks to the lovely delay.

The transitional sound effects sound dry. I think they may actually a slight hindrance in this kind of song, in which you created a reverby atmosphere using primary instruments. Also, the sound effects with strong bass frequencies create a variance in the feeling that the mix transmits.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

I like that visual! That definitely sounds kind of like an anime xD
Or Narnia, I guess :p

The chord at 0:15 definitely kind of sets the tone. I think the one at 0:20, and 0:24 are pretty important too. I guess that part in general, is where a kind of turn takes place, and the piece is defined :D

I'm glad you like the instruments! It's fun to play around with orchestral arrangements. I honestly don't remember what bell I used, but I like the delay I added too!

I think I get what you're saying with the sound effects. Mostly, they're just cymbals, and I wanted them to be soft and long-lasting at the time. But they may sound dry because of that too :)
As for the bass frequencies, this is probably not the best possible mixing xD

Thank you for the review!

"Breathtaking" I need words... you'll hear from me, I can only say that there is only damn good words for this.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Aww, thanks a lot man! I really appreciate the positive review :3!

If I ever listen to a song of yours that I don't find to be absolutely wonderful, my first thought will be - someone hacked LucidShadowDreamer's NG. xD Another fine work of musical art here! I just realized that no matter what inspiration/mood you create from, I can always hear brightness in your compositions. That in itself is quite a talent. :)

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thank you for the lovely words ^ ^
I'm glad you find my stuff to sound pleasant :)
I'm sure I've posted some pretty bad music here and there though, haha. I also have a few darker pieces, but I try to vary the emotions in most of my compositions, because I tend to like the comlpex aspect of what feelings music can evoke :D

I liked this. :D

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Why thank you :DD!

[Bosa]

Very emotional. Regardless that it was scrapped, you still managed to produce an excellent piece here and I could certainly see this building up into an even more heart-moving theme. As always, I enjoy both your music and your friendship!

Take good care,
Jon

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thank you, and ditto ^___^
I think this could've been developed into something even grander on the emotional scale as well, but it just didn't really seem right to return to it after so long, especially as I had other projects to work on as well :D

Take great care, you too!
