Something tells me that the review directly below me, about this being a 0able song, will not be around for much longer. C'mon, at least give a reason! Well, I think it was a fantastic bit, and I'm not even a fan of this kind of music. After the 2:00 mark, I really felt involved in the song, and thats something to say. No huge complaints for the construction, it was very well put together! At 3:05, the bassline really reminds me of an Australian Didjeridoo. Very nice addition!
Keep it up!

"Not bad! In fact, I like it!"
This song, while short, really gets the point across. I think that the musical scene that you were trying to produce was one of a short period where, in a battle or fight, everything just slows down for a bit, and you have time to think about yourself, your mind, your body, your strategy for moving forward. Not just a battle though, this scene could apply to life in general. Just stop, slow down, and take a little time to think. Life is much easier if you know what you are going to do to make it the best in can possibly be. Clipnotdone, you're like me. I enjoy a nice, slow piano, that rings its tune outward into a slow decay. Sorrowful, perhaps, but it gives a strong emotion and people instantly know where you, the composer, want to go with the song and where you want to take the listener. You've done it, you really have. Congratulations on a beautiful piece. However, if you can, it might be beneficial to look at some of the equalization, the decay kind of melts together a bit. I know, Newgrounds is a pain when you have to compress your songs down into oblivion. That being the only thing I'd change. Great work, I look forward to more!

Thank you for the kind words, Im glad you like it.
I love writing for the piano, done right you can create songs more powerful with just a piano than an entire orchestra ever could

"Its not the studio you make it in..."
Nonono. The distortion on this was horrible. Its not the studio you make the song in, its the cleverness that you put into it. I have somthing that may help you out here. PM or AIM me if you want to talk about it (don't worry, what I have is completly free of charge).

This is a really intesting idea for a song, but there were many things that took away from it's quality. Firstly, let me compliment you on the authentic sounds of the instruments, well done.
A couple of things to note. The notes were generally flat, and some of them were just completly bad-sounding. It almost hurts to listen to the flute screech. Also, the flute in the beginning has an unbearable crunchy noise.
Later on in the song, you change the melody completly and throw in a modern beat. That distracted from the original intent of the song.
Sorry mate, but I think you would have been better off with just the second half of the song. I'd be interested to hear the second half developed a little more.

Author's Response:
Hmm... Making a song out of the second half, eh? Maybe I will at some point.
I also thought that the modern beat might ruin it, but it came as an impulse so I left it in cause it sounded fun.
I don't really know how to write melodies, I made this one with the keyboard and honestly thought it sounded fine, but I guess you hear it differently if you're experienced at music making.
If you're referring to the high pitch notes then I get what you mean but I wouldn't know how to make it better.
Also I thought I'd make a secondary melody that would play at the same time with the main one but didn't know how to do that.
As for the crunchiness of the flute I only used the presets and I pretty much think that's what an Indian flute sounds like.
But hey, thanks for an extremely helpful review! Have a good day.

Starting off with a nice bass was a good choice for this song, the piano melted nicely into the mix. The melody however, is slightly lacking. It sounds like the melody from "I love Lucy". Thats is fine, but I don't know how that really works for this song.
The drums were a little too, hippityhoppity for this song, but that could be just my taste, I don't know. All in all, this was a well-laid out track, minus 2 stars for bad EQ on the bass.
Author's Response:
I was gon start the piano first but good thing i didn't right. The melody for the hook comes from that show you can blame my Aunt for getting the tune in my head lol but i thought it went with it...."All For U" is what it sounds like it's saying.
I think it's just you...about the drums lol. Thanks for the comments man just tryna be real good and if you could PM me tips or what not about the bad EQ on the bass that'll be tight.
