Mhmm..
I don't think we would be hearing happy music if sorrow seizes . It would be a very powerful, deep and massive melody that represents limitless strength and endless determination, IMO.
Happiness does not defeat sorrow in my eyes. Will does. Essentially will is more powerful than happiness and sorrow combined.
I like it though, regardless. The piano is delicate. It has an airy, town atmosphere. 5/5 10/10
Thanks for leaving another great review! Happiness is an all to fleeting emotion, and the sorrow yet remains each time the good feelings wear off. Hope allows us to move forward even in the midst of strife.
Overall, this piece was meant to be both mournful and triumphant in order demonstrate the ability to overcome emotional trauma through strength of will. Whether the message translates well to others or merely makes sense to me is relatively inconsequential, but I shall count it successful as long as others are able to enjoy the music on some level.
To be frank.
I've never believed in courage. If we weren't weak to begin with, courage would'nt have ever existed. Yet, weakness is present in our lives, and our fear creates dead-ends that aren't exactly there. We just have to keep running head strong within our darkness, and never let anything stand in our way.
Only /you/ can defeat yourself.
Interesting.. 5/5 10/10 [I liked it, I just wish it was so much more suspenseful.. Like a background violin, with wind.. and a less flat feeling to it. You surely understand what I mean, I'm sure. I just believe that courage would've been an /explosive/ energy to combat against what opposes us. This works through expression, of course. I just fullheartedly believe you could've done so much with this one. ^^]
Thanks for leaving another interesting review, Insanctuary! Your initial sentences seem to be rather cyclical in nature, however. The existence of someone or something does not hinge upon whether anyone actually believes in it or not. It simply is. An individual who has been blind since birth may cling to the belief that there are no such things as light and color, and darkness alone pervades their wholly sightless world, yet they do indeed exist regardless.
I personally do believe in traits such as courage and perseverance since they are the antithesis of human weakness. Standing up for what one believes in, for instance. Protecting someone you care about at risk to your own life. Sometimes just living a day-to-day life that feels all but devoid of hope can take courage, whereas taking the "easy way out" and ending it all is the epitome of cowardice.
If you're speaking figuratively about a psychological state of being, I would have to agree when you say "Only /you/ can defeat yourself." We tend to become our own worst enemies, and more's the pity. However, the waking world is made up of more than mind and memory, and therefore defeat can come from outside influences. Personally, I believe that someone who doesn't give up can never truly fail, but that doesn't rule out death, which ends all human struggle for good or ill.
It's confusing..
Isn't that what life is about though? Joruney and discovering what we do not understand at the best of our ability? A journey that we do not take, but live by. Creating our own path that lights up, for every step we take makes more and more out of the darkness we once saw. Every piano note expressing how structures light up, and starts outlining the ideas of our mind in it's darkness. Our ability to bring the world that sleeps inside us into an already painted world is great beauty mixed with great darkness.
Interesting. 5/5 10/10
That is precisely what life is all about. Traveling forward in time at the rate of one minute every sixty seconds, writing and rewriting the story of our individual lives upon the infinite pages of the universe. There is overwhelming beauty to be found in both the light and the darkness, for those with eyes to see. It was happening yesterday. It happens today. It will still be happening tomorrow and many, many years to come. Thank you for the deeply philosophical review, and expect to hear from me again soon. Fare thee well.
I can see..
A metallic dragon snaking through a red sky with white puffy clouds cloaking bits and parts of it every so often. It's moving incredibly fast. Silently it progresses only to disappear behind the sunset.
Awesome. :D
You Are A Genius
I can imagine a nightly garden. Where the clouds gather through a time lapse. A moonlight that gives birth to night flowers. Abstract trees forming through the essence of shadow; and it's beautiful, ambiguous silouettes. It begins to rain mechanical contraptions where a robotic assembly is alligned -- soon to cultivate these plants that is being given life by the pale moonlight. Rest of the song expresses how much everything grows into one giant expressive story of the mind of a mechanical, sentient being.
Nah, no genius! I wish! Ha. Love the thoughts this track gave you. Really cool images. I remember thinking about floating around out in the universe. It'd be really cool to see what was in your imagination animated to this :)
Where is my mind?
I'm not losing my mind. My mind is losing me.
The mind is a brilliant sense of having everything and nothing at the same time.
The mind is the greatest paradox of all paradoxical realms.
This world is why the mind loses you. This world banishes the mind. We banish the mind only so we can survive in this world we are forced to live in like an insipid, faceless shadow that never knows why they are chained to something that can't even be seen by the eye. A world that was imprisoned by our own human race, and the imprisonment of their own minds. They are slaves to their mind, and in result made us the slaves of theirs. We are the subsitute for their mind's subsitute to feed our hungry voids..
Your words are finely appreciated. Thank you.
So lovely.
Simply benevolent.
<3 Good to hear from you, Insanctuary! I know you'd definitely be one to like something like this.
Thanks man!
If only my keyboard was made out of ice..
This is some ice cool music baby.
Word.
?/? ??/??
Yeah dude.
Chillin in a lounge bar thinking of nothing but ice and cherry lips, hm-hm.

Boss Battle
This is a perfect boss battle. I can imagine the first minute being the open of a final battle. Where the boss reveals it's true intentions after it has deceived everybody that it was the good guy in the entire game. You are fighting in a lost realm, where the fabrics of reality can be seen. I am not sure how to express this without sounding cliche. You get the idea though. It's wonderful! :D Even pulled off the guitar. Great job. I really enjoyed the first minute though. I'm not just into distorted guitars. :D
P.S I love repetition too. 5/5 10/10 Job well done. Especially for a melody that came from your dream.
However cliché it may sound, I like your description.
Thank you very much my good Sir Beastbro.
I crave more tracks in your Sincerity of Obscurity-series!
I love how it doesn't sound 100% professional.
No offense. It's a compliment, really. You are able to appease my ears with such humble moderation. I really enjoy it when people can make something intrigue me -- even though it's not that complex, or having professional outlets. Sometimes I can enjoy laid back songs way more than professional works, for the simple works have this sense of voided aspects. You are able to add your own imagination, and fill-in the spaces that you left there through your simplicity. Forever more, you should understand that regardless of your interesting ability to evolve something so simple into something so interesting, and that it's not professional, that it remains unscatched in my terms of interpretative natures. The 5 I've given you is not because you are just a great person all in all, but because this song truly deserves a solid 5 for not being solid enough to be professional, but solid enough to create a world that doesn't need any complex professionalism.
It's everchanging, morphing, transient, evolution of time and space mixed with a sense of emptyness is what makes it so thick, and full of substance that a listener can dive right into.
Impressed, my friend. Keep on making music. I've already given up on my dreams to pursue something far more important to me. My obsession with human psychology, and the grander schemes of our world that is harboured by my philosophy.
This is somewhat irrelevant, but oh well. I'm working on a human formula to explain why humans interrelate with the world the way that they do:
Passion (+Faith - Selfishness) + Confidence + Happiness (- Fear + Humility + Courage) - Arrogance (+ Ignorance - Selflessness) - Pride/Anger + Sorrow = Why they react to the things the way they do, through their attributed virtues, influences, fears, and other things that can all come together to form an equation. Humans think that it cannot be possible to measure our emotions, but I wish to detest that it is indeed possible to read humans like books, that they are really nothing more but superior computers.
[My equation in worded form. Although, this is merely a rough draft. I have much more to expand on]
Passion is the root. Faith is what you believe in. Your selfishness corrupts your passion/faith. Confidence gives you the ability to believe in yourself aswell as what you believe in. Happiness is that sugar on top. Fear takes away what you want to achieve. Being able to accept humility from mistakes would lead to a
less corrupt foundation. Having courage is the strength to stand and face what challenges you. Arrogance is for when you think you're better than someone else; refusing to submit to your own ignorance. Ignorance allows you to accept that you can't do everything; to accept what you lack of. Selflessness is what devours you when you lose respect for yourself during pursuit of your goals. Pride is a destructive way to respect yourself. Anger latches onto pride. Sorrow is the healing spring that helps you see yourself once more; a mental sense of pain.
Again, I tip off my hat to you good sir. I really wish you came on MSN more often. Everyday I learn new things about this world, and I wish to share it with you along with casual greeting and to get to have an idea how your life is doing, and such.
Cheers~
Thanks bro, this means a lot. And sorry I haven't been online as much as I used to - I got a lot of work to do and instrumental practice.
