Personally...

I would not change it or rewrite it- there's nothing to add or take away. I've been a fan of all your work with a ton of your songs on my favorites. What's to change? I wouldn't want anyone to butcher this.

Lovely

This is an excellent work of art! Simple and beautiful like it should. Please keep up the awesome work.

[[Oh and as for Zefy ignore him and his bull, I've read the reviews and I agree with everyone else so far- they're useless.]]

ObsidianSnow responds:

Thank you kindly, GreyBard. I appreciate it.

Screw 0 Bombers

I am getting real tired of Zefy's shitty and useless reviews. You're no music genius.

As for this song one of the main purposes for Newgrounds is to post experimental stuff so folks can review and help artists out ffs.

For the actual review- short, simple, it's like a generic theme for whatever you like. The quality is a little poor and it's repetitive, but otherwise it's not bad at all. Come up with a direction you want this music to go (what should it represent) in and it'll be awesome!

[[Oh, and ignore Zefy and his shitty taste and elitist bullcrap.]]

Sorrow...

...and pain. If you are familiar with the American Civil War, this song reminded me of the origins of the song Taps...

"In 1862 during the Civil War when a Union Army Captain, Robert Ellicombe, was with his men near Harrison's Landing, in Virginia. The Confederate Army was on the other side of this narrow strip of land. During the night Captain Ellicombe heard the moan of a soldier who lay mortally wounded on the field. Not knowing if it were a Union or Confederate soldier, the captain decided to risk his life and bring the stricken man back for medical attention. Crawling on his stomach through the gun fire, the captain reached the stricken soldier and began pulling him toward his own encampment. When the captain finally reached his own lines, he discovered it was actually a Confederate soldier, but the soldier was dead. The captain lit a lantern. Suddenly, he caught his breath and went numb with shock. In the dim light he saw the face of the soldier. It was his own son. The boy had been studying music in the South when the war broke out. Without telling his father, he had enlisted in the Confederate Army. The following morning the heart-broken father asked permission of his superiors to give his son a full military burial despite his enemy status.
His request was partially granted.

The captain had asked if he could have a group of army band members play a funeral dirge for the son at the funeral. The request was turned down since the soldier was a Confederate. Out of respect for the father, they did say they could give him only one musician. The captain chose the bugler to play a series of notes musical notes he had found on a piece of paper in the pocket of the dead youth's uniform.

This wish was granted."

For some reason this struck a chord in me, and I appreciate the time, effort, and meaning behind this song. Thank you sir.

Setu-Firestorm responds:

Thank you. Additionally, I'm currently writing the screenplay for the film that this song was originally composed with the intention of being in 5 years ago. The film will be animated, and the score (the few pieces for it that I have here: "Make it Rain", "Gift of a Feather", "The Sky is Calling", "Unending Love", and "This Land of Ours") will be treated as guideline themes, because I'll compose the entire soundtrack around the movie using these themes instead of using the actual pieces.

I expect this film to take a few years to get through, so no rush. =p

Thanks again for the review and appreciation.

Beautiful

This is absolutely beautiful, no questions asked! I especially loved the beginning. Though towards the end, I'm not a fan of the scattering of music, but it's not enough to even dislike this. Excellent job sir, I want to hear more. (And if you care to, I'd LOVE to hear it without the distorts towards the end; if not, no worries!)

And Jakecev, you can take that 6 and play 9 with it for all I care; you know absolutely nothing about composing and the hard work these guys go through.

nubbinownz responds:

Thanks a bunch grey. Without the glitched drums near the end, I am not really that good at portraying intensity for the wizards fight :(

Oh Em Gee

...I felt brain cells rupturing...

The first time I heard this I couldn't tell what was going on, then all of a sudden this cute voice things starts chanting and I laughed so hard I fell out of my chair. Good stuff. This is annoying to the point I couldn't stop listening to it, and I think my brain hates me for it now.

Awesome!

...just one little quirk...

How can you have this song with no rockin', badass bagpipes!?!?

C'mon, it may have nothing to do with the Scots, but if you put the word 'Scot' in a song the rule is there must always be rockin' badass bagpipes! :D

Holy Horse Shit Batman!

What Robin Said! ^

Where's the beginning of this Journey!? I want to hear it too!!! Kick Ass job my friend. I particularly liked the voice, it gave me a slight chill down my spine. I thought it went perfectly with the song. I just wish this was 4-5 minutes instead of 1:45.

Keep it up!

Rubbertje responds:

Hehe thanks man!

Very

That's not a very fair review, Gerson-N. If it's not what you like in music then either don't review or look at it through it's musical value. Reviews are for constructive help, NOT biased opinions.

As for the review: Very nice! It gave me a sense of calm. I think the volume on the strings in the background could be a little higher. I thought the piano kind of covered it up and had to turn the headset up quite a bit to catch it all.

BlazingDragon responds:

You, my friend, are wise. Thank you for the fair words. :)

As for your review, I agree that the strings are quiet. Thanks for the constructive criticism!
