Very smooth and professional sounding. I hardly ever log in anymore, but I'm inspired to see you're still releasing new music.

Thank you. Actually, I still have a lot of unreleased music. :)

Very emotional.

I love the 80s feel to it, both with the guitar, and the synth strings and drums. aptly advertised as ballad. I can almost see you on stage, spotlight, with your head down, hair over your face, rocking it like a pro.

I know you're a professional musician and all, but this song is beyond the skill of whats normal for newgrounds. You've had a few tough spots in your life, and I'd be able to tell just from hearing this song, as opposed to if you were never gracious enough to share the harder parts of your life with us.

I'm sorry I don't have any real criticism for the song. I feel like it's beyond what I'm capable of creating. I just wanted to let you know I really enjoy this song. +fav, and I'm putting it on my ipod when I get home.

Thank you for the fantastic review :)
It was a very hard task to get the drums right (with a 80s feel). The trick is a gated reverb (like in Berlin-"Take My Breath Away", Roxette-"It Must Have Been Love"...ok that's more like early 90s).

I'm sure that this is not "beyond what I'm capable of creating" :) You'll have even better stuff :)

Whoa dude

I like this one a lot more than the other mix. Great job.

The-iMortal responds:

Thanks, mate!

Dang dude

I was going down the list in the thread, listening to each song, skipping around to get a feel what the competition was putting out, and I stopped to listen to yours in its entirety. Very professional line up of how it happened. I think the mixing is a little helter in a few parts. I'm not saying you need to fix it, but maybe be open to fuck around with the mixer.

Regards!

nightsurfermusic responds:

Yeah the mixing is kinda off, but I'm done with it for now. :)

Hmm

I wouldn't say this is particularly memorable, or that it has the best transitions, but it's not a bad start by any means. Keep making tracks, keep improving. You get about 1% better each time you make a track. So keep giving it your all, and I'm sure you'll become great!

MadameLeota responds:

Will Do! Thanks for the comment!

Nice pipes, dude.

I'm almost positive you're not supposed to upload a song that you didn't create. Covers are fine, but I do believe you used the original backing track, which is a big nono. That aside, what country are you from? I hear an accent, and I like it. And I gotta say man, you can sing really well. You should cruise over to the audio portal forum, and I guarantee you'd have no trouble finding someone to let you sing on their original track for.

Infernov responds:

Much apreciatted, I wasn't sure if it was an OST cause the quality isn't rerally good, yet I hope to change it soon with a diferent melody.

I'm from Mexico, so I guess that's what gives me an accent, lol.
Thanks again!

Nice, mang

You didn't say whether this song was original or not. Either way, it's always nice to see people submitting any form of "real" instruments. Good work.

sabbir002 responds:

thanks dude. yeah its an original song. i put it down on the one liner description but it got deleted or something. anyway. thanks again!

Hot damn.

This song sounds so professional it's retarded. I actually listen to this song often on my ipod when I'm out driving. Seems to fit. Most stuff on NG is very repetitive, this however is constantly changing, adding/subtracting, and making me tap my toes.

vibe-newgrounds responds:

Thanks! I'd love to continue with dance music someday..
