Hello (i'd like your opinion =))

[Guest]

Hello, this is a short song, which i absolutely hate. I made it yes, tell me your opinion of it, it's based around the idea where Nightmare moon defeated celestia and ruled alone, where the night lasts forever. Yeah,...cant get more cliche than that. Oh well, thank you for taking the time and listening to it, any opinion or criticism is appreciated. Thank you again.

When I came into this thread, I had very low expectations of this. I thought "oh well, here goes, another person who I can't reply to cause the song will probably be... eeeehh.. And I don't want to hurt this person's feelings.." But I was very wrong! This was actually quite good! Everything fits very well together and you have made a great job!

 

The song was quite good, and the issue I see with it is that it never gets any interesting other than at the beginning of it. It is mostly because the melody there, played by the piano is a little bit too repetitive, and I'd like some more change and that something happens in it and raises the bar high. Like a build-up that ends with a bass and maybe some sort of slow, soft and quite silent snare sound in the song after the build-up.

 

I would also like if it was just a little bit longer. But again, good job!

Well....certainly wasnt expecting a positive review O.o, so your reply literally blew my mind away, i do infact agree with what you said, i hope in time i get better, thank you for listening.

For me it was definatly interesting.  I think you have a good chord progression.

I agree with Jokuc in that it would become stronger with more changes to the melody or rhythem.

I really like the beginning so keep that the same but at about 0:55 I would suggest more of a precussive bass to drive the song a little more and you can keep the long piano and strings sounds on top. Also at about 1:18 you can add another voice with a different melody to contrast the beginning.  I'm not sure what happened at 1:26 but it sounded cool, maybe used more clear precussion instead of that shimery stuff. Turn the whine off for the end, about 1:50, or at least keep it softer then the moving strings.  I like the ending strings and maybe you can do a sort of reprise of the beginning for the end.

 

Overall I did like your peice and with a little tweaking it could sound amazing!  Keep in mind dynamics and layering for the most part, but continue composing!  Hope to hear a new version soon

I might remake this song, since i've gotten  feedback and good critiques from people, i will probably incorporate all the improvements you have suggested here (and by you i mean the people who responded to this thread). Thank you for taking the time and listening =)

Oooooo this song gives me chills. I don't like it. I mean I do, but I don't. It's just that it's so dang creepy. A song never gave me chills like this one did.

I'll...take that as a compliment XD i know what you mean, i sort of meant for it to have a creepy feel, you know nightmare moon defeating celestia, causing eternal night to descend upon the ponies, sort of like a dictator, just imagine the fear, dread and terror the ponies must be going through, that was kind of an inspiration for the song, thank you for taking the time and listening to it. =)

Really good song! I do hope you continue to improve with your music! It would be nice to see an artist develop through time! 

Good luck!

This is a very good song, a bit too short for my liking but I have no problems with it! Not that my opinion is anything to go by as I know nothing of music xD

We're glad to help. Even though it kinda gave me chills it was good. No song ever gave me chills before. So this one was a first.

Your Self-Confidence has increased.

Your Musician skills have increased.
