[|V| - The Sacrifice]

Nice

seems like your a relative newcomer to the top-5 I haven't seen you on it lately.

anyways awesome song, it sounds great and I don't think you could have done anymore with it.

so you deserve top-5 props.

[Through Space]

Off

its not all that good, personally I think its beyond saving but thats me.

you were aiming for space but you hit aqua.

this sounds more like an under-sea melody. not a space sound.

nice try.

Spartacus90 responds:

You're right, it's not that good.
After I made it, I thought it sounded a little like space, but now that I think about it more, it sounds more like like under the sea type of stuff. Well thanks for your comments. You should check out my other stuff.

[Here You Lay {=MMD=}]

Very good

Has extremly strong emotional impact on the listener, even now at midnight in physical exhaustion when the body is weak to emotional impulse I still felt every beat.

The lyrics looked sketchy written out but they sounded beautiful the way you sang them.

For the flash artist I belive this is FMV (Flash Music Video) worthy. Also here is an idea.
----------------------
0:00 - 0:10
Slow dynamic zoom in on a man about 15 or 16 years old sitting at the end of a dock, skies are dark, its not raining but it seems like its about to, its cold, slight wind blow, and its around twilight time (about 6pm) where everything appears to be in "Shades of Grey"

0:10 - 0:19
man looks at water, Fade in (man still sitting their with overlay of memory) to memory of girlfriend at same dock with them boarding a cruise ship.

0:20 - 0:25
Him and his girlfriend are embrassing and holding eachother in a very "Loving" atmosphere, flowers in the background, and even birds. quickly fade back in to him sitting at last second.

0:25 - 0:29
animation of before mentioned scene where he is sitting on dock.

0:29 - 0:35
him sneaking away from home at night to see her not getting cought.

0:35 - 0:39
he looks at water and see's her face for a moment as if she's there

0:39 - 0:45
red rose tied to the end of the dock, zoom in close to rose so its between the camera and the man, change focus to rose, then change back to man

0:46 - 0:58
Starts raining, man reveals a ribbon (any color) he was gripping in his hand that belonged to his girlfriend, its slightly torn and appears to be worn out. Quick flashes of his gf being forced against the wall by her ex, with 2 guys on either side.

vFor all chorusv
0:58 - 1:04
Man embracing his girlfriend, as she's crying with head against his chest. background of bricks, its dark.

1:04 - 1:08
Back to rose tied to dock but in a top-down perspective.

1:08 - 1:18
camera looks up at sky rain should be hitting lense but doesn't, then slowing turns to ocean.

1:18 - 1:27
Fade in on guy stopping her before getting on the boat with a "warning" like look in his eye, as if he knew what was gonna happen.

1:27 - 1:37
camera looks up at sky rain should be hitting lense but doesn't, then slowing turns to ocean.
^For all Chorus^

1:37 - 1:47
camera towards ocean waves heading to shore

1:47 - 1:57
split screen, On left shows the man before he met her sitting against a wall on the sidewalk in the ran no money, nothing to do, and no friends (doing badly)
on right shows girl finding her old boyfriend sleeping with her friend, freeze framed moment of shock.

1:57 - 2:06
Man thinking about a fight they had before she left on her trip, she slaps him.

2:06 - 2:16
Man standing over her ex boyfriend with a bloody knife dripping fresh (he rapped her)

Chorus

2:58 - end
Slow zoom out camera focused on rose, as you see where the dock meets the coast, cop cars arrive at the entrence with sirens, man drops ribbon and it floats away.
-----------

I hope you enjoyed that "flash idea"

its by far the most discriptive I've written, and once again, thank you for such great music, and for being the first "pop" artist on newgrounds I ever liked.

[Fredgy - Reality]

hmmmm

its ok.... sounds like you tried a lil to hard on it.

you need to stop working so hard and just let it flow. music comes from the soul and as such moves in its own natural way, though its saddening many of us do not posses the mental capacity to express that nature.

anyways, sorry but this songs a 3 its apparent that you tried very hard on this but you tried to hard, and it damaged the overall quality of the song.

It seems like you found a new tool to use and got excited about it near the end of this songs production (the most evident instrument).

try lowering its volume so it doesn't stand out as much or raising the volume of the other instruments, that should make it shine.

Fredgy responds:

thanks, ye i know, it was a bit to much, i 'll see what i can do

Grts
Fredgy

[-Sadness- (Rough)]

idea

You should go off from the original beat near the end when it becomes acoustic and looses its background.

you should have a pad in the back so it has kinda a rise up/depressed feeling all at the same time.

slow down the piano tempo and change the chords to something a bit more gloomy and slow along the lines of C6 or C7 on FLS.

add in some flutes, a violin or viola, and a low harp (it can sound gloomy around C4 and C3)

Hope you finish it soon.

[-=[AF]=- The Journey of Life]

What he ment by peaks

What he ment by peaks is that the one instrument in the background that sounds really high pitched is causing to much of a difference in the overall sound of the song. almost to the point that its noisy.

the flute in the middle sounds a bit to high as well, but its fine.

other then that I can't find anything wrong with this.

good job

[§-Love at First Site-§]

Nice

----------
Reminds me of LAFS (love at first site) between 2 teens ina completly random unexpected place, like a sidewalk, or in a hallway at school.

they go to prom together and the fire really ignites there, they're just amazing, everyones watching while their the only one on the dance floor, they don't become prom king/queen, but both the prom king and queen wish they had switched spots.

Both of them hope the night never ends...

They leave the prom and stay out all night, just indulging in eachothers love untill the sun comes up the next day, they both smile happily laying in the back seat holding eachother.
----------

now don't think I'm all mushy but I'm being honest, thats what this song says to me...

reminds me of my prom night which was close to that :P

SinZLazTWordZ responds:

I gotta agree.. I was gonna write something like that... But i would of had to include times and what not... I really gotta say it has emotions it does... I didnt really expect that when i started making it... but i guess every piece of music has a little emotion in it you just have to find it. And yeah like you said between 2 teens in a hallway at school thats what i keep picturing no matter what... Haha... I gotta salute thee for the piece of work you just wrote.... Goes with the song perfectly man I really do appreciate your review =]

[==(Deep Blue Clouds)==]

Nice

I picture something different.

----------
Its cold, very cold, your on a mountain, there's snow all around, and its quiet, you can see an endless expance of tree's at the bottom of the mountain, and a small village (tribe villige)

You walk through the mountains to find safety (visiting tribal villiges can be dangerous at times.) Your half frozen, your facial hair has ice crystals on it, your jacket is covered in snow, but you don't feel cold, your not huddled up for warmth, your perfectly fine standing up straight, looking at the clouds that meet the top of the mountain that seems to strech on forever.

you see no sign of anyone coming to find you, or anyone you may have ventured with, everything is gone, quiet, ambiant, peaceful.

While your walking you see light near the top the clouds are touching, your close to it, and walk towards it, you go past the cloud line, and you look around standing on the very top of the mountain.

still warm, still healthy, still standing upright.

you begin floating upwards, you look around calmly not worried as you rise, a great light consumes you as the mountain top leaves your view.

you see nothing for a long time, as if your asleep, as if its a dream, and then, you are at total peace.

your body is found frozen by your friend on the side of the mountain, you'd been dead ever since you saw the village... your body is frozen laying on the ground as if you were standing upright, with your hand on a metal cross you had around your neck thats sitting against your chest near your heart (or whatever religious symbol you have, if not religious, a locket from a lover).

it had been 3 weeks.
----------
That is what I see, this image does not trouble me, and it should no trouble you.

to be regretful and scared of death, will only make death approach you more quickly.

If I die tomarrow for saying that, I have no regrets...

[Reasoner- Ticking Away]

awesome man

As usual your work is nothing short of unbeleivable.

Hearing your songs is like getting a unexpected gift man, I'm glad you update me on your tracks, I came to listen to it as soon as I saw the message.

The compression in no way hendered the overall quality of the song, at least to me it didn't.

It really is awesome and I noticed the ticking at the beginning and end of the song... Not so sneaky with the naming are ya :P.

anyways, this seems like something that you'd hear while playing a mystical adventure game with slight action, speed, magic, ambience (decisions).

I picture.... hmmm hard to form a picture. (its 2am here :-) )

I know.
-------------------------------------
0:00 - 1:30
Something hits you, like a stirring paranoia, so strong you just can't ignore it, and you hear the ticking (in the beginning) some how, you don't know how, but you just know your against the clock, and race out (to find something, save someone close to you) as your running you (eventually) run to the edge of a dark forest, and stare for a moment.

unsure...

1:31 - 2:57
you put the fear behind you and rush in... Running through a darkend forest with light shinning through high treetops, no bushes or foiliage thats low to the ground, more like tons of paths through this forest. You rush feeling your objective slipping away and start to pick up the pace.

No sound but the music, going against the clock to get to where you need to be (save someone, find something, etc.) I mostly picture saving someone before they take themselves out.

2:57 - 3:56
It gets really suspensful as you see the light from the other end of the forest, like your almost out of time, the exit to the forest seems farther away then it should be, like no matter how fast your running you just can't reach it, but it still moves closer, slower then cold malasis.

3:57-4:10
you break through the treeline, and you hear the ticking, (end of song) and you know, you don't have long.
-------------------------------------

Don't blame me if my grammars off its really late, so far I've spend over an hour on this review.

so far a personal record for longest time spent on 1 review.

anyways, Love this piece, Love your work, Love all your songs.

Your talents can get you whatever you want/need man, you just gotten know how to use them to do it.

In otherwords, Your music has the power to be more then sound.

Signed.
Lordtac.

Reasoner responds:

Wow dude! Thanks you for the long and insightful review. Somebody seriously needs to make a flash of what you just described. I'd have it looping all day on my screen lol. I really appreciate you taking the time out to write this and for the astounding positive remarks about the music. Thank you again for listening and enjoying.

[Lost Woods "Kook"]

not bad

To be honest I cut it off at about half way.

that weird background sound... sounding like a drumbeat I guess dunno, ruined it for me. if it were taken out it'd be better.

of course right now I'm searching for a "Perfect" remix of lost woods OoT but no one so far seems to have made something close enough.
