Dude
Really love this song alot! Me and speedy were rockin this one...but my fault for the hold up for sure. (your damn 5 fingered chords) haha. Sorry man. I do have a full piano version too...haha.
Alex always kicks ass on the vocals.
Thanks for your vote, Bad-Man-Incorporated! You voted 5 for Dreams (Piano version), raising its score from 3.73 to 3.83
Glad you like it, man.
Thanks for the vote.
Much appreciated, as always.
PS.
You have a problem with my chords?! ;P
Liked this version better
Liked this version better
so do I.
hey bro, its norwegianbeast
long time no see my friend. let me just say before i start that im a bit stoned and its very late, so if i dont make sense, i apologize beforehand. i listened to the other version of this before reviewing this, and im astounded by how different they feel. if i may guess, i think this version conveys the feeling you were trying to convey the first time much better. i know how things are, so im guessing this is a self-narrative? i love this though, partly for that reason. the piano and alex's amazing-as-ever voice make this song exude epicness and feeling. i like this so much more then the guitar version. now let me get to the obligatory breakdown of the song dynamics and bullshit.
first off, im glad to see you and alex together again, and promised long ago. you guys blow me away. there is really not much to criticize here. you simply polished and fine-tuned an already great song. was it you playing the piano? i had no idea you played. any who great job, loved teh harmony with you and alex, and alex's timing was perfect.
you get yourself a 5 for this. now i gota go take a look at your other new stuff. you have my new name now, which i switched for alot of reasons, so keep in touch with me and let me know when you release more stuff. ill talk to you later.
peace
Awesome. Thanks alot, man. Appreciate the review. Yeah, Alex really does rock!
Like "Anthony and the Johnsons". Polished but...
The production is great. The piano is all fairly tight and the voice is never strained.
When the chorus comes in half-way through and again in the last minute, that sounds great. I heard a backing instrument that sounds a bit like a synthed violin chorus. Works well.
I felt the lyrics generally felt a bit cliche'd and false. You had some decent rhymes, but it never felt like you were writing from experience.
If you were, then sorry. You shouldn't dwell on such things.
The piano seemed a bit overly predictable and simplistic. There were some great chords and harmonies with the backing instruments, but I felt like a few diversions from the main theme, maybe even a few grace notes here and there, would have added to the piece.

I commend you and your friend's abilities in making it sound so polished. However, it just didn't sound interesting. To me it seemed slightly vacuous.
I'd like to hear something you wrote from experience.
Uhm, I hate to break it to you, mate, but it's very much based on personal experiences. Lol...
I don't know what to tell you, but yeah. I'm a manic depressive / bi-polar disorder patient, and I think along these lines... well, alot.
