[~Path of Memories~]

Faces Last an Eternity

No matter the age, the time, the place, or the names. You remember a person by their face, not their names. A picture is worth a thousand words they say, but I believe they're worth so much more than that. You've done a marvelous job on this piece and I loved the build up at 1:34 really heightened up the mood. Well I can only hope to hear more great works from you.

Sincerely,
The-Great-One

kelwynshade responds:

Thanks for checking it out. I'm happy you liked this one.

[Crushed]

Great!

I must say that this is an outstanding piece. The beats you had in the background were way too repetitive though and it basically ruined the rest of the song. I say you should take out those beats and just keep the storm throughout the whole song.

shadow6nothing9 responds:

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing about the beats, and Im going to work on changing it around... maybe use it as a hit. I like the storm idea too, think i'll do that

[Our Love Forever]

I hate you so much now...

You had to bring back those memories that I was trying to forget. Sure we didn't date long, but we were too far apart. To be honest we were two different people of different worlds. You've also given me the courage I didn't have before. I can only hope to run into her again, I mean to tell her everything now, what's the point in loving someone if you're not sure if they love you back.

You son of a bitch. Why? I know you made this out of love, but why did you have to submit it? It is very beautiful I'll admit. My head is hurting so much now I'm even amazd that I can still actualy type a little bit. Well you have made agreat song and I for one am happy yet angry at you for making this song .

Bosa responds:

Hee hee!

I mean.. oops..

You know, true love in a relationship is often hard to achieve. And it's true what you said, "What's the point in loving someone if you're not sure if they love you back?" I'm in this stage right now, to be honest. You know, you care about a girl, you check on her everyday to make sure she's alright, and that question still remains: Does she love me or am I wasting my time? I know it's not healthy to think about these things in a relationship, and it can often cause conflicts. But, it's there until you show her the true affection of your heart. Whatever her reaction may be is probably the answer to whether she loves you or not. Things can often be staged and sometimes you have to use your mind to get the answer you're looking for. I'm not saying she's just a tool to be used, or something for you to just fool with. I'm saying to be honest with her, and show her that you love her. If she loves you, you'll know in your heart whether she does or not. These things just work, believe it or not. One way or the other, things will just work. You just have to play your part and be the man, as she does to be the woman. Good luck, friend. May things folly to your side.

[Activate {demo}]

Hmm...

Yes you do need more build-up. Do not do random sounds unless you're absolutely sure you can pull them together. Maybe make it a little more smooth at the 1:04 mark, this may seem odd at first but trust me you'll have more to build on.

Mrmilkcarton responds:

I've been doing alot of revamping to the build ups. the second build up has changed a fair amount to the one thats up here now. Thanks for the review.

[~Mission Successful~ Loop]

A Perfect Loop

This could loop perfectly within anything, and I mean anything. Movie or Game, but probably better use in a game. All I see before my eyes are those three choices...

* Save and Quit
* Save and Continue
* Continue without Saving

kelwynshade responds:

Even more uses. Agreed.

[Everything ButThe Kitchen Sink]

Interesting...

A unique piece my good sir. Although I wasn't exactly connecting with a real familiar vibe with it you basically gave the correct description of the song. Everything but the kitchen sink. I understand how improvising a song can be great, but try improvising a song and then go back and working more on it.

TheWisestMagi responds:

Yeah, I am still thinking about reworking parts of this song..for one at the end I completely forgot to put in the drums >.<.

And yeah, I felt that it was a fairly accurate description seeing how by the time I had 3 vibes I decided to get a few more in there =P.

Thanks for the advice,
~TheWisestMagi~

[Farmland]

Ah, Simplicity

5 A.M. The crack of dawn. The sun slowly crawls up to give a small bearing of light. The farmer awakens, today is another venture onto the field. The hard work he puts himself through knowing he will always prosper from his labor no matter what, that's saying something. 12 P.M. The crack of noon. The sun bearing down from high up. The farmer returns to his farmhouse for lunch. Chicken, mashed taters, and corn on the cob. The farmer also enjoys listening to his family talk amongst themselves. After lunch the farmer returns to the field. 7 P.M. and there is no sunlight. The farmer returns to his house, returns to his bed, for the night's slumber. He dreams of everything and anything in his quiet slumber knowing tomorrow the cycle will always bring something new and with good fortune.

Sorry for writing a story here, I usually write stories for MaestroRage's audio, but this one captivated me. I had saw all this before my eyes as I was listening to this audio. Another magnificent piece from you Bosa if I do say so myself. To tell the truth I believe you have truly out done yourself. Keep up the good work.

Bosa responds:

Thank you for the story. It actually goes along with what I was thinking of, somewhat.

The fact that a farmer's life is a simple one makes this song a tribute to the rare peace that exists in the world today. When I go outside to plow, I realize how simple life can truly be. Without hesitation, without asking the question why, I begin to till. Perhaps everybody should consider what has been said here. Perhaps your lives are needlessly complicated. Perhaps there is a better life for everybody, they just have to realize how simple life can be.

I thank you for this review, and I do hope that others will continue their stories through time, and begin to find the peace they search for so hard, when it's really right in front of them.

[_-={Moonlit Cobble}=-_]

The Ball and The Simple Folk

In a kingdom far away a ball is being held. The moonlight dances as do those of elegant wear do. The crisp Autumn air is giving these people a real life fairy tale. In a village so very close, the simple farmers gaze not at the glowing castle, but at the very moon above. It's golden color, the farmers know what time it is. They dawn their labor wear and head out onto the fields. As those in the kingdom are celebrating the harvest moon, the farmers are working with the moon.

You and LadyArsenic have done yet another wonderful job. Not too long or too short, you've made a perfect bit of audio for calming a soul. I can only hope that the world does not take neither of you away.

Sincerely,
The-Great-One

MaestroRage responds:

^_^ Mmm... I like that imagery. I think I might have been thinking the same thing, if not something very similar. As for the world taking either of us away, I don't think that'll be any time soon. We're still young and very stupid.
Death does not love us. =/

Thanks again for your kind words. It's what keeps us going it is!
With love,
Lady Arsenic <3

[One Tough Walk]

I Don't See It

Well it is a nice good beat and makes for a good loop, but I just don't see it as a tough walk. Maybe as a villain's dialogue, but that's about it. It does sound familiar to me as well... yet I can't quite put my finger on what it sounds like.

linkbryan1126 responds:

im surprised you dont see it, it screams tough walk to me

[_-={Garden of Memories}=-_]

As We Were There...

We walked along the soft grass that was laid beautifully across our island. The enchanted thoughts we had. A divine escape from reality we formed. Our island was a garden of tranquility and no matter how far apart we may be we will always remember our garden.

I loved this piece very much as I do all of your work. This song has brought out the romantic side of me once again and has given me more thoughts to think about once again. Great job by you and LadyArsenic, my kind words to her too on this magnificent piece.

Sincerely,
The-Great-One

MaestroRage responds:

Thank you TGO. Your story was magnificent and well written as always. Lady's work brings out a lot of new inspirations and energies in me as well, which is why I am so thankful to be working with her!

We are glad you liked it, thank you kindly for the review!
