ummmmm

how did this make it to #3 on the Best Tracks of all Time with TEHSE BAD RATINGS?!?!?!?!?! The music is horrible and the rap is lame. It's well rapped, but it's still lame.

I just don't like it

lol venturing into dubstep

the beginning didn't do it for me, but it definitely picked up in quality throughout the song. about 1:06 i started to like it. Then the dubstep hit and i was "YA!" you made it transition and blend with the rest of the trance quite well. THat's where the feeling hit was right there. Just like you're other songs :)

I think i hurt my ears with my head phones...

GAH!!!

so... used... to the... old one.... lol. Personally I liked the old one better. So a lot of my comments will probably be biased because of that lol.

I think it's too slow. It has a bubbly feeling under lying with the swing time. To make it feel slwoer you should have taken out a few beats. Like instead of having the kcik on every beat, have it on 1 and 3 instead and have the "snare" on only 2 or 4 not both. That will immediately slow down the feeling. Maybe even dropping the tempo more. But beats realy need to be dropped from the melody line and drums to make it feel slower.

But like i said, I liked the Old Song better lol. So I rtied to be as unbiasd as i could. I think i failed rofl.

i see a big review coming lol

normally the only time I give a BIG review is when the composition was amazing but stunk at the same time. Basically, this track has AMAZING Potential.

If this wasn't meant to be a remix, then you can probably ignore everything I say here lol. But the reason this remix is kinda not working is cause it's too close to the original. A remix is suppose to have elements of the original song so that it's recognizable while still being original on it's own.

Two main ideas I think that could be changed. 1. The solo at 2.05 be not ENTIRELY the original solo. Like if you made parts of it from your own samples. Could keep the original notes, but not original guitar sound. Or maybe layer another sound with the guitar maybe? I'm just saying it's too close to the original for a remix.

2. Which i kinda already mentioned earlier, it's too close to the original. One way I think that I can suggest to change that is to break it up. Literally take different snippets from the song and REarrange them. That's a remix.

I'm a big DF fan so I loved it anyway lol. Funny how I love trance and dance msic too. I'm jealous of your techno skills right now actually. I've been trying to write stuff and it never sounds this good lol.

So in final for you song, I think you're about half done. Maybe 3/4 in my (unanchored) opinion. So keep it at. Think of yourself as a professional. They're picky, cocky and picky. Not to mention a perfectionist. Ya I said picky twice lol.

P.S. if i sound kinda off it's cause I'm doing final projects for school and it's another all nighter for me. I think I've been up close to 40 hours now haha. I'ma lil loopy hehe.

First off thank you very much for taking the time to write this! That's so awesome :D . And thank you for all the input it really helps me improve. Yes, it's meant to be a remix, but I didn't really want to make it sound drastically different I wanted to have certain elements the same. But I do see where you're coming from and maybe I can improve it! Again thank you very much.

Nice RMX

It was well done. But you should give credit to the original artists too. It's "Died in your arms" by Cutting Crew. Great song. And a graet RMX! LOVIN' IT! Love the beat you gave it!

I FOUND IT!

I dl'd this song a long time ago (well, less than a year I guess lol) and forgot who and where. And when I dl'd it I didn't write down the artist and stuff. I have been digging for this song for a while on NG. So glad it's still here :):):):):) I found this song on the 'Recently Added' list and clicked on it, so that's how I found it the first time. Of course it wouldn't be that easy the second time lol.

My hard Drive crashed and I lost all my info (about 400 gigs :'( ) but I had your song on my iPod and I wanted to re dl all my fav music again before I wiped my iPod to re-sync it to my new hard drive. So you can imagine how happy I am to find your amazing track again :)

Hope you're still making music.

p.s. I've got some songs coming soon

It's a Start

Between :18 and :56 (lol almost a whole minute) needs work. I'm particularly referring to that oddly split beat. I know you have it going back and forth quickly with 16th notes. But you can't hear the one on the beat, but the second one making it sound like someone is trying to speed up or being late and gives it a very out of sync sound. Maybe that was what you were going for lol.

I think that's where you lost your feel in the song. Then it picked up quite nicely again near the one minute marker and there, your odd beats worked because they weren't the melody.

So I think you either need to add or take away from that begining.

Hope you get this.

Man I miss listening to you music lol. I miss making it too -.-

well diffused lol

Well I'll say it's well diffused mix lol. Reasoners beautiful piano skills and Bjra heavy rock. This is awesome!

very nice

Between the title and the music, I get the image of walking through a very dark building, like the eerie basement and being lost, alone and not knowing where to go but just got to get out of there somehow. Fear at every turn, but you're not being chased. Just over adrenaline and your thoughts.

Very plain jane and good for your first song :) And if you say you're going to make music on how your feeling and such, I can't wait to hear what you'll produce when you've moved on from your past and when you've stopped hurting.

erSoulFire responds:

Thank You ^_^

I agree with SoulFire

This music just has THAT FEEL to it. More than a feel. Something real. Intangible but you know it's there. Hope you read these comments cause I know you know what I'm talking about here ;) You write with passion and through your works and efforts something is passed along to your listeners that you can't do, but it happens anyway. I love your music. It's like something is reaching out and giving hope through your finger tips. Please keep writing. There is a community out here for ya if you need it :)
