[The Lone Mourner]

You See Battlefield - I See Something Else

The rich old miser sitting upon the leather chair. A fire in front of him. For mirrors show the truth, they do not speak like a fire does. A painting hung above the fire showing the glory he has set, a painting of himself. As he sits there with the clock ticking slowly, he notices he is indeed old of age and the only thing he has ever done with his life was make money for himself. With all the money he has earned he isn't happy. Goals were set and accomplished, but what was in the middle? Memories of good time? If you count counting money... then yes.

Um... could you please continue this further? It appears that I cannot end my story. Your song seems incompleted not short. It has many aspects that I like and I'm sure you probably noticed which ones reading through my story. All I ask is that you finish this song so I may finish my review as well as my story.

Lamplighter responds:

A very nice scene, matches better than mine! I never really liked my story, because pretty much everyone uses battles and death. Yours is so much different, and it provides a more unique view. I'll certainly finish this song, sometime.

Thanks for the review!

Bonsai Tree

I see the Japanese wonder. Trees in bloom with beautiful flowers. The old are respected by the youth. Fun and good fortune to all mankind, whether they be young and old, to big and small. It certainly is a land of prosper. Makes you wonder sometimes doesn't it.

Sorry this story was short, but well... the song was a bit repetitive so there really wasn't a whole lot for me to see. All in all you have a nice song here, but it could've gone on longer than needed.

Lamplighter responds:

That does make me think... strange, how their land is so different from ours, even though we are the same people. Hmm. Interesting.

My dad also made the comment that this was extremely repetitive, but I've gotten too tired of this song to fix that now. When I've learned more about song structure, I'll come back and redo this.

Thanks for the review and story, it's always appreciated!

[Notes - Valsette]

Worry And Woe

The desk. The lights. The small confined box. The chatter of different people of different people. The crazy ones. The daring ones. The elements of the rain, sadden some people. As one looks toward the window in distress. Thinking why God do I do this everyday. How come I'm not like those below me with carefree lives to spend. How come I'm not there. Then this man looks toward a picture of him and his wife and his two children... and all questions are answered. Although the days may be dreary at time... the evenings will shine without sun for a happy home is upon the return.

Sorry for writing that little story above, this is what went through my mind though while listening to this song. It certainly is a magnificent piece and although I never heard the original, but I believe this is certainly a quality piece on it's own with your revisions. Masteful work. Keep it up.

Lamplighter responds:

Wow.... a review from The-Great-One! By all means, you can write as much as you feel like! I love reviews like this!

I think that bit of writing fit this perfectly! When I was working on this I kept having visions of someone sitting at their desk, looking out the window at the autumn leaves falling and marvelling at the beauty of the world, but your thoughts reflect the piece even better!

I thank you for the great review, high score, and compliments! It really means a lot!
My day is made now...

A Mad Man's Memoir

Beneath said light shines a man in a corner. A grim look upon his face soon turns into a grin that would make the one staring into his eyes uneasy. He comes toward you and snickering at the same time. An insane laugh echoes the room. The full light comes into motion with mannequins all around. So life like they look, but that is what the scary part is. The insane man speaks... "you shall be my new statue."

An evil taxidermist...
His room filled with trophies...
Nobody could ever guess...
Unless they took a closer look...
But they will never get the chance...
For whoever questions...
Will become stuffing...
And if beauty enters my surroundings...
They to will become my prize...
Frozen in whatever position I desire...
It will be beautiful...
To God I say...
What do you think of my...
Collection...

Sorry for this little story, I love every bit of it. Although you describe a ballroom of the undead I see a crazy taxidermist. Another marvelous song. I can't wait to see what other darkness may come from you Lady... as well as the Maestro.

[Mario's Dance Party]

Ah Memories...

This took me back, not to mention I was just recently playing Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario World. You certainly did a fantastic job on this. Keep up the good work.

Ihsman07 responds:

Ah thanks. I tried hard on this one. I was thinking about throwing Dr. mario in there too, but I changed my mind. I may just do that one next.

[An Artist's Daydream]

It started with a line

Before you knew it I was enraptured amongst the clouds. They came to me, mere creations of my own imagination, dancing with souls and lives that I gave them. Characters running amok... to save the day we must, to save the day we trust, to save the day with haste, I am in their place to Save yet another day!

Sorry for that banter... when I sat back and listened to it, I remembered all the characters I created when I was younger... good times, good times. An absolute masterpiece.

Ihsman07 responds:

Wow. Thank you. I'm really glad you liked this. That's the kind of thing I want people to see and you saw it without any problem. Excellent. Thanks again.

[Edge of Faith]

Epic... Truly Epic

Quite masteful indeed. It gives that ambient feel between life and death. An essence of violence and justice within one's own mind, then we come to the part of destruction meets simplicity... not a pretty combination, but it holds it's own. Nicely done.

NemesisTheory responds:

that painted a cool picture in my head, actually! haha, wow. :P

I'm glad you enjoyed the song :)

[Bethoven remix]

Not Bad...

It wasn't bad, but Bethoven just isn't something you remix with DnB. Mozart is more the thing to go for when remixing... however this certainly was well done and I'll give you credit where credit is due, but it could've been longer... this is my only complaint. Be great as credits, the question is credits for what?

[Competent Mood _ RR]

Flip-Flop?

This actually seems more assertive than Assertive Mood, and Assertive Mood seems more competent. Both of these tracks are awesome, but I somewhat feel you mixed up the titles.

RenoakRhythm responds:

lol.... that funny, maybe i should have changed the titles around...oh well.

Thanks for the review.

[Assertive Mood _ RR]

Assertive?

This is a great Techno song with an awesome beat, however I just don't quite understand the title, I don't see how this was Assertive. I really love the song it's just how is it assertive?

RenoakRhythm responds:

Thanks for the review.

I made another song called Competent Mood and its basically the same structure with a different feel. So this song is called Assertive mood since its more happy than competent. Other than that, the title makes no sense....I know...lol
