[Homeward Bound]

The Morning of No Work

The time has come, the children are ecstatic! The farmer and his wife awaken heading downstairs to meet their children unwrapping their presents. They got just what they wanted from Santa Clause. A Christmas morning and before you know it the family will begin to arrive. The farmer's wife is going to have to skip breakfast for now because she has a lot of work to do before the arrival as does the farmer. Food must be prepared as well as places to sit and room to be made for more presents. A day of calming peace, good fortune and will towards all mankind. Christmas has come to one and to all, deck the halls and joy to the world.

This sounds like a Christmas song, it really does. I see this as a great Christmas song, so peaceful and tranquil, I can't picture anything sad or violent about any part of this song. Marvelous work, and of course another Farmer story to fit it.

Bosa responds:

Life has its blessings and hardships, yet there is always time for fellowship. A family has its tithes to he that blesses and who say that they should not show love?

The man comes in with his oldest son, bringing firewood for the stove. The children are just waking up, excited for the candy and oranges that await them in the stockings they hung over the chestnuts. The wife is wide awake, preparing the table for the banquet later today and she saves her hospitality for the family guests. Peace and joy is indeed in the air, as today is the best day fo their lives.

Day 2

The sun rises once again, to show forth new work upon the farm, today is different however, the day shall last longer than normal days have, this day is different from others... it is the first day of Summer, the longest day of the year. The farmer enters his fields working harder than he has ever worked before, not concentrating on anything else. From plowing, planting, and more. As the sun begins to set the farmer rests himself. Then the full moon rises in the sky and it is time to begin work again, this full moon has cast such a light that now more work can be done upon the farm. The animals are sleeping yes, but the farmer is still working through the night. As the farmer is nearing the end of his work he goes back into his house and sleeps until tomorrow when he begins another day of work... he knows it probably won't last forever, but he'll keep going until there is nothing left he can do. The farm shall stand as long as the farmer stands for it, the farm shall stand as long as the farmer works for it, and the farm shall stand as long as the farmer tries for it.

Fantastic piece! I did notice the changes in it and thus I just had to write another story for it, other than recreating or building from my previous story I made this one a bit different to move with your added and extended changes. The notes all float so well together. You have taken your own perfection and made it more better, I honestly didn't think it was possible for you to add on to your already true masterpiece! Excellent Work!

Sincerely,
The-Great-One

Bosa responds:

Thank you so much for this review, Great One! This is one heck of a worker if he plowed a whole garden in one day :)

But really, I greatly appreciate your reviews and stories, they often add a diverse way of listening to the music than what you would first hear.

With thanks,
Bosa

The-Great-One's 300th Audio Review

I'm just in awe about this song. I never thought that a song like this would be my 300th audio review. I'm speechless to give words at all. Thank you for creating such a song, you've brought back so many memories.

Bosa responds:

Wow, an honor it is!

I'm glad this song came when it did, or I'd see a different face! I'm happy for you and all of Newgrounds on a successful run!

["Working title"]

Coffee in plain Style

Outstanding, works great as a loop, this could be used from menus, to bars, to well a coffee place. As thus I have given you a title "Coffee in plain Style." If you don't use this title I will understand, but if you do I would appreciate credit. The pause was great, but I think you should shorten it a bit, maybe 1 or 2 seconds then you'll have a perfect loop!

Simple-line responds:

awesome, thanks for tips all both of you commenters, i might use your title.

[Morning (Piano)]

Calm & Peaceful

Very peaceful, it's as if you were in a state of mind of a calming matter while writing and playing this... magnificent! I close my eyes and I can see the sun slowly rising over a hill in my mind. Outstanding work... I congratulate you.

BlazingDragon responds:

I specifically remember waking up early one summer morning, and just marveling at how beautiful the sunrise was. I felt so at peace, and set to writing this right away. :)

Thank you for the congratulations!

Faire Town We Are

It sounds like a town theme for a good N64 Game if you ask me. I can see the many stores and houses also many villagers amongst the grand town. I like this I really do, it makes for a great town theme!

[Afternoon Breeze]

Upon The Parchment

The light comes on, a sheet of paper from the drawer, a line here and a line there. Gazing first at the beginning... of greatness. Pouring onto this paper is nothing more than visions from within, a passion so deep an imagination so pure... some stars here and maybe snow upon there... a dead tree would add such grace, but it would take away from hit. A tail upon a shooting star within the sky will add the presence of hope, beauty and wonders that human eyes don't see much. The masterpiece is now complete, but what to call it? An inspiring artwork yes indeed, but what to call it? The title says it all... "Inspiration." This piece is put into a folder with many others. Upon parchment a new vision was put away, a memory saved for another day, one with rain hopefully.

Sorry if my long story bored you, but this song inspired me to write this fantastic piece, please understand this. Your song is magnificent and is superb, NO! Masterful in many ways... I must say you've done an outstanding job on this piece, but I must warn you of improvising although it can create some great things you must study your improvised notes and see what more you can do, a great pianist I'm sure you've heard about did this, his name is Mozart. Great job.

ismiller responds:

Wow, thank you so much for your review. After reading it, I realized how much your story related to the song and I visualized it in my head. It fits it so much, however, that I think the name would suit the song. If you don't mind, I'd love to name this song "Upon the Parchment."

[This is what u see]

Seeing Anything Maybe Everything

Wow. As a writer I must say that these are some outstanding lyrics! This song has inspired me to write something that I'll think you'll like, I sent it to you via PM. Excellent work on this song.

Smirne responds:

Thank you very much! It's a pleasure to inspire a writer!

[Joy of Spring]

Being Very Generous

It is a very nice song, but use caution when improvising. Improvise once, edit twice, check it three times, and repeat if needed be. This works quite nicely as a loop and I believe does fit in Classical Rock. Keep up the good work.

Story To Mind

This song has now put a story in my mind, but I do not wish to write it here, I hope you understand. I will send it to you however at a later date if you wish. Everything in this song flowed so smoothly as your other songs do and you added a pinch of impact to the mix. Maybe you should experiment with impact more. I really enjoyed this song, it brought a Desert Temple Ruins to mind.

MaestroRage responds:

I understand perfectly TGO :), send it to me whenever you'd like, i'd love to read it.

Experiment with impact you say? Do you refer to the booms and thuds at certain intervals? Make them more powerful?

Always looking for new methods to making thuds more powerful... they're a monster to control though. Too much power, and it kills the flow, too little, and it doesn't satisfy the listener. Difficult things they be D:

Thank you for the review TGO, always a pleasure! I'm glad you liked it.
