It's so beautiful...I love how it grows from just Jason and his guitar, to a multi-layered rock song. Progression like that makes me feel like the song is going somewhere and I'm going with it. Which is good. And the vocals. Ahh yes, the vocals. They start out fine, but at 5:30 it makes me wanna cry it's so off-key. The lyrics were written nicely I must say, and overrall I can't really complain about the vocals. The musicianship was also very, unobtrusive, for lack of a better word. This pretty much is mediocre if you compared it to other songs of this genre, but the fact that it's based off a VG song makes it good. A good listen, and something new to add to your collection. (cuz I know you have one)

hello, and thank you so much dj pretzel for posting my song. as well as your candid review..

I am now doing a new version of this song, better mixed and better vocals (hopefully). I also have other plans for VG remixes, as well as some tidbits....

Ahh yes, the vocals. They start out fine, but at 5:30 it makes me wanna cry it's so off-key.

yes, indeed.. well, you see, not to make excuses, but I am a first take junkie, in the style of kurt cobain and neil young, and I have a problem with DOING THINGS OVER!! lol so, hopefully this as well as the unobstrusive (what does this mean anyway ;) ) musicianship will be solved. I am not a perfectionist, but I really do appreciate criticizm as i will really help me.

The lyrics were never meant to paralell the story of cecil the dark knight... it is certainly something i am going through.. but i realized later, thru the help of my friend, that these lyrics are very much like his plight in the game...

I would appreciate more criticism, and thank you kamikaze noodle, for yours :)

Ooo! I love this one! I sure hope that many more like this come! The more I listen to it, the more I want to hear it again. ;) Very skillfull guitarism thoughout the entire piece. Though, I am having difficulty placing the lyrics to the game, but they are well placed. This needs to be done to many, many VG songs!! :D Perhaps, though, the vocals could be more interesting if many words ended with a vowel like Goldfinger does, "TO FALL APAAAARTAH." hee hee. :) I don't even know why I like that. ;)

[Kamikaze Noodle]

unobtrusive basically means it isn't bad enough to ruin the song, but now that I think of it, the guitar work was more like, "amazing". Especially now that you tell me its one take. I know this forum is only for reviews but I had to correct my stance on this song as my review made it sound like I didn't think it was as good as I think it is. AND PLEASE DO A NEW VERSION OF THIS SONG! :D :D

I sure hope that many more like this come!

you can bet on it :) I love this place, it inspires me.

Though, I am having difficulty placing the lyrics to the game

I could lyric by lyric give my interp, but just think of what cecil had to go thru in ff4

thank you andrew, for your compliments..

sorry if Im being annoying posting here over and over, but I like having an interchange wit ppl who chk my stuff out :)

It's definitely unique.

I am pretty darn sure I like it! (I'm always iffy on vocal songs from video games) but I can say for a fact that I DEFINITELY like the music going on behind the vocals. It's kind of a stairway to heaven-ish buildup from a slow solo guitar to a full blown rock ballad. I'll reserve judgement on the vocals, until I listen to it a few more times. (I'm a fan of harmony in vocals, GJ with that)

But anybody that can churn out a good seven minute song earns my respect.

/me tips his hat at you

GJ man

here i go again ...

now that you tell me its one take

well, I recorded all the tracks myself, but each track (guitar1, guitar2, lead guitar and etc.) is indeed one take.
its not a live band one take :)

ie.. it wasnt a band in a room, as you can prolly tell, I layed down the drums and piano (both sampled, played thru midi keyboard or sequenced) in FL studio 4.1, and then played bass one take, and then acoustic guitar one take, lead one take, and so on...

thanks noodle for your comments and definition.. I am tired and stupid. :)

(I'm always iffy on vocal songs from video games)

same here, I nearly choked on Eyes on Me, and Depend on You. but it grew on me lol

I don't mind the offkeyness if its beautiful.

The problem here is that the lyrics coul;d use a good rewrite.

Other than that, great job.

I dont really see whats to complain about, the lyrics are just plain awesome, very deep. And no one should complain about being offkey, u try singing it! Great work d00d -bLiNd
