I have to agree with Knuckstrike here. The song is too short and it ends too suddendly. Maybe you could up the tempo to an almost crazy speed, and then end it with a few slower notes... because right now, the song seems to be cut off during the middle of a note.

Anyway, the concept of the song is still pretty nice.

Ahah sorry for the late response but yeah thank you for the review... Somehow later on I'll have to come back to this piece and "remix" it so to speak <_<

A very nice song. I like the light-hearted atmosphere it creates. I imagine lying in the meadow, while the sun is shining. A tree provides some shade. A few clouds passing by, and a light breeze helps to cool me off. I just day dream...

The only thing I can really critizise here is, that this song is "only" 4 and a half minutes long. :P My daydream wasn't quite over when the song suddendly stopped. ;)

Thanks for the review, Mr. Haggard!
I'm sorry that I cut your daydreaming short! These songs seem to end themselves when they feel most natural to end (to me). In any case, I'm glad you enjoyed it, I often get lost in it myself.

This reminds me a lot of some of the songs I know from various "Gothic Music Compilations", that came with the gothic magazines I used to read when I was a teen (never really was a "goth" though).

I really like this song. It creates a very good atmosphere, very dense and kind of creepy. I also like the effects you used here. When trying out new effects, there's always the danger of overusing them. But I think you did a very good job here in the amount of effects you put into this song. Not too much, but enough so the song doesn't become boring.

This is a very weird song. In the sense that I was thinking "oh, this doesn't sound too good" or "this doesn't really fit here" throughout the song, but as a whole, I enjoyed this song really much.

For example, the wind instrument (or is it just a synth?) that sets in at around 0:11 doesn't really fit to the drum beat, in my opinion. But once you start singing, the both instruments together (wind instrument/synth and the drums) make up for a very nice backing track.

Also, I thought the singing could be a bit better. Mind you, I couldn't sing as good as you if my life depended on it, but there's something in your voice that I don't like... I can't even exactly tell what it is... and also, I'm not trying to put you down, I'm just being honest. Anyway, when I listen to your voice and the music -and don't focus so much on the voice alone- this is a really enjoyable song.

So, long story short: This song confuses me A LOT and that's why I don't have any other choice: I have to give it 5 stars. ;)

Aamzing song.

I really like the drums here, they play some really powerfull stuff. I also like the guitars (I play the guitar myself). The riffs are pretty good. The changeover from heavy music to some soft, clean guitar playing reminds me a lot of earlier Opeth stuff.

I can really imagine this song with some nice growling vocals. That would be really amazing. :)

Thnx Haggard! Im glad u like it. Opeth is one big influence on my music among a lot of other prog-metal bands. Maybe someday i'll find someone to growl over my music :P... Im really bad at it xD

When reading the title, I expected a completly different song. Something more heavy and more bassy. But the song I just heard isn't bad at all. I really like the rhythm. It is kind of relaxing, but the melodies do have a driving feel, which creates a very interesting atmosphere.

I also like the variations this song has to offer. The first minute is a bit repetitive, but after that, the song changes a lot.

Good work!

I'm glad you liked it. It's a bit difficult to translate dreams into sound. Especially some of the dreams I have sometimes. More times than most, the song becomes less of a song and more of a sound collage. This one turned out awesome though. Thanks for the review and I hope you enjoy my other tracks as well.

Good song. I like the amtosphere it creates. It does indeed have a dark undertone, but surprisingly enough, this song isn't depressing or scary at all (just like you would a song with a dark undertone expect to be). I think, there's some "hope" noticeable throughout the song. Maybe it's the beat or it's the absence of a deep bassy sound in the background...

Anyway, pretty good song!

EagleGuard responds:

Thanks, the "hope"-feeling was indeed something I noted as well and was initially just a byproduct. I'm glad I left it in though!

Thanks for the review!

Starts off with only the piano, which is a very nice thing. I was surprised when suddendly a drum beat sets in. Surprisingly enough, the piano and the drum beat fit together very well. However, the clapping sound is a tad bit too much. It's like every second song uses that exact same clap sound...

Anyway, the song continues to surprise me, the longer it lasts. I like the transitions here very much. The piano fades out and in again and this creates some very interesting effects.

Overall, this is a very good song.

Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you liked it ^^
Yeah, I agree that this particular clap sample is a bit overused. Seeing this made me realize how much I've used the same clap samples over and over in my songs. It's a bad habit I have of sticking to one system and not branching out to try new things, like my drum samples. You mentioning that made me change the clap I was using in my newest song to a snare drum sample, and it actually sounds a whole lot better. Hopefully I'll be able to find and get new samples and such to make my music sound more unique in the future.

Interesting song. Sounds a bit like a mix between various "eastern" cultures.
I really like the drums here. They are very powerful and they play a good, nice rhythm. Also, the string instrument (is that a sitar?) sounds amazing. I also like the melody it is playing.

Overall, this is a very good song. Very different from what I have expected during the short intro, where we can only hear a humming sound. Nice work!

Good track. I like the main melody a lot here. It creates an atmosphere that is somewhere between "pleasant" and "creepy", which is a real strange mix. I guess it's because you mixed some nice sounding instruments (the bells) with something that doesn't sound too nice at all: The very first instrument we can hear. I don't really know what it is, but it does sound a bit like a music box, heh.

Anyway, this mix between "pleasant" and "almost annoying", together with the humming, bassy instrument that sets in at around 1 minute into the song, creates a very interesting atmosphere.
