Thats what it sounded like. The first note dragged on too long in my opinion. Lol, this sounded like something you would here in a martinee lounge rather than in a soothing movie. Oh well, better luck next time. Stick to the Metal bro!!

WELL, for like the 500th time, it sounds just like the other MAc 08 July contest submissions. Piano here, violin there, you know the drill. Still, I know how hard it is to compose such a great piano song. Keep it up and good luck with your future composing. I give you a ten for the great sounding piano piece. But not a ten in the MAC 08 July contest since it goes into the no variation category. :| Listen to the other songs, you will see what I mean.

I actually think that a single instrument like a piano is able to convey more sadness then any grand stringed arrangement could ever achieve. Part of sadness is the feeling of being alone, and a single instrument playing a somber, minor progression can accomplish this with much greater accuracy then an epic, multi-instrumental arrangement,,,in my opinion. Thanks for the props though.

All of the songs with the pianos and harps and violins and BLAH sound all the same. I am sure they are hard to make.. but the judges are probably going to look for variation in this MAc 08 July contest. I am giving you a ten because it sounds like a fantastic song, but not as a very original song. It sounded more mediveal than sad by the way.

Why thank you FatKid! I didn't really write the song for the MAC 08 contest, I just wrote it and someone suggested I try for it, so I did. I can't agree that all songs sound the same with "pianos and harps and violins and BLAH". I could say the same for techno, dance, house, jazz. That's what is called a genre my friend. ^_^ If you don't care for the genre, that's fine. I'm sorry to say, that's what they are though. Thank you for the ten and constructive criticism, it's always appreciated!!!

I am pretty much going to have to say the same thing as I did for a lot of the other piano songs in the MAc 08 contest.. It is just a piano.
BUT, this was extremly soothing and the sound quality was amaziing! If it were a piano contest, this would win it. Nice job!

Just a piano?
Dude, in case you aren't aware, the piano is the second best instrument, dwarfing only in comparison to the orchestra. The piano is like an orchestra in a box, and if you use it well, a piano can communicate emotions just as strong as anything else. I didn't submit this to the competition because I thought a piano was the best choice, I only submitted it because I love the piano very deeply and it is one of the most beautiful and emotional sounds I know. To be honest, I see no reason "just a piano" is any worse than "just a bunch of synth pads".

"Oh! A sad contest, let's make a slow piece for piano and high pitched strings with little to no variation at all".
Well actually thats what this song is a little bit like.. It had tons of variation, but it wasnt very original. TONS of songs have been done this way. Most of the ones in the contest sound like this.. You know, piano boohooing and echoes with violins, harps, and people saying ahh and oo. I liked the song as a song, but not as a song for the contest.

Becauase it is a remix of another song, I can't really give a decent review. But I didnt like all the combination of noises in there... It kind of hurt my ears. X_X
OH well, you have a nice talent, keep it up.
Author's Response:
Remix? Calling it a tribute doesn't mean it's a remix, nor stolen, nor... whatever negative you may have or haven't tried to imply with that :P
Thanks for your review.

It sounded like a luluby or something! Really cool. I think it was a little bit to simple, since it was just a music box. I thnk your other submission into the Mac 08 july contest has a better chance than this one, just to say.
Author's Response:
Yes, it is just a music box...but I entered this piece for a reason. I wrote this song while I was crying, while my heart had been splintered into pieces.
Though sweetly disguised by its calm nature, this simplicity was just a mask for the sorrow I had felt. The ringing echoes you hear deeply in the background, that is my past and my pain lingering beneath the surface.
Simple? Maybe. But let me ask you something, must music be so complex to express one's emotions? This song represents much more than a simple music box, my friend. ;)
Thanks for your review! I really appreciate your feedback! ^_^

The sound needed to be turned up. I liked it when the other sounds came in. Sounded kind of epic like for a RPG or soemething. I didnt feel any emotions from it though! I am judging all the Mac 08 songs by if they sound sad or not. This one sounded a little sad, but more epic than anything.

epic is always good

I liked the nice beat and everything. But it wasnt very sad, which is what the MAC 08 July thing is going for right? It kind of brought up my spirits a little bit opn life actually. Lol, the one to win will make someone cry im guessing. Oh well, neverless, a good decent ambient song with a nice beat and background synth.
Author's Response:
hehe yeah, I definately understand when people don't find it depressing, and the drums don't help that. Thanks for the review :D
