Hey ChrisisD,

Here's a feedback on "Everlasting":

It seemed to me that you were, at first, mostly concerned in building up a kind of mysterious atmosphere for the very beginning of the piece. You did make it, though I'd have liked to hear some more variations of that theme instead of just a repetition of the same chords and melodies over and over again.

I've got to admit that I was on the verge of boredom when you took me by surprise with the E/G/A chord progression at the middle section. That was a very good choice, I loved it! Furthermore, the change in the rhythmic patterns also contributed to turn the mood of the piece upside down. At this point I could have perfectly imagined it as background music to a TV documentary, for instance.

If I were to give you any advice on how to improve it - and here, what I call improvement is actually just my humble opinion - I'd say you should add some sophistication in part one (for instance, the strings sound a bit harsh, and the piano could have been played in a subtler way) and let the piece end in the second part, that means, don't go back to part one - it brings the listener down somehow, I don't know...

Well, that's it. Congratulations on your work! Keep writing new stuff and improving old stuff as well!

Don't give it away's chilling harmonies and colorful lines make it an easy and relaxing listening. Keep writing.

Only criticism: The bass pattern starts to get predictable (the part when the bass kick percussive sound comes in) I think you should mix it up a bit more. Besides that good work.

First "Everlasting": I worked on that song for a pretty long time, I also think it's a bit repetitive, but if I left the second one out it would be too short for my taste. The idea behind the song was a rainy day (minor)... the sun broke through for several seconds (major) and then it becomes rainy again, thats why I go back to the sad part (minor). It's not the most refreshing song or original for that matter, but I had a good time making it.

Then "Don't Give it Away": I've got several unfinished idea's laying around. This was one of them. I never really did know what to do with it, so I made a short sort of demo out of it. When I get more idea's or maybe a divine intervention I'll finish it!

Thanks for your reviews and tips!

Hey there,

I added another song to my list; Troubles. It can be found with the other songs.

I wanted to make it longer, but I don't really know what to do with it yet.
