I Can Never Forget

Here's a song I wrote a while ago, approximately a year back, to lyrics from my friend. It was to be (and eventually was) performed at a concert in school. I wrote it using Melody Assistant, one of my favourite programs to write music.

Regardless, here's why I have come to you.

1) Minor reason: comment on the song as it is now, perhaps suggest changes to make it better (in terms of tech and composition)

2) Major reason: I need to convert this song to a piano-only (plus voice). Before, I had a small band performing it. Now, I'll be entering a contest, and due to various reasons, I won't be able to play this song with the rest of the band. So we'll keep it down to 2 people, me playing the piano and the vocalist... singing.

Here's the thing. After having heard this so, so many times before (while writing it and such), that it's really hard for me to get it out of my mind the way it is now and change it to piano+vocals only, reducing all the other instruments. So here's why I'm here. I ask you to help me convert this music to 2 parts, piano and voice.

Please, would someone be kind and adventureous to go and try to fulfill my mission :) Much, much appreciation would be available.

midi version (absolutely pathetic sound, I only suggest using this if you need to see the notes)

mp3 version (this is what it should really sound like if performed by the band)

Thanks to anyone who attempts to undertake this project. Or just comment, that works too :)

Yay

hi there...

im not really god at crtiquing... dunno why I even do it...

anyways.

i like the piano. the percussion annoys me. its kinda repeatitive. the dynamics are ace though :)

btw i was listening to the midi file

Please please please do not listen to the midi file unless you need to look at the notes... midi is completely unlike what it should sound like. I took absolutely no time trying to make the midi sound good, since it's not really for the purpose of listening.

Hi

I like what you've got the simple percussion part is nice and there's defintely a nice blend going on.

I'm wondering about you ending though. There's a great keyboard part that i thought would end the piece, but then you bring the guitar in to the last 5 or 10 seconds, there's nothing wrong with that and call me crazy but it just sounded like it should end at about 4 minutes 5 seconds.

nice work
