[Lofi thing I made]

Very well done, sir.

[stasis chamber]

This one is interesting to me. It has a very positive vibe, which I feel is actually quite unusual in the context of time passing. I think it embodies happy anticipation, where most people focus on the boredom and the helplessness. I guess what I’m saying is, this is refreshing.

This may just be my opinion, but I also don’t think you need to apologize for using. The ticking clock. It’s not a theme that occurs just once in our lives. Ticking clocks are everywhere, all the time, always. And they just keep on ticking.

It’s such an overt and powerful theme that one can’t help but be inspired when considering it. In my song “A Chance Happening” I used a sound much like this one as a time keeper throughout the piece- it adds metaphorical depth.

[longing (or, wedding song to a broken soul)]

God, this is spectacular. Wonderful use of chorus and harmony. Seán is a lucky one, that’s for sure. Few get to hear love expressed to them so clearly in their lifetimes.

I’m not crying, you’re crying.

[the walls have eyes and ears]

Well done, anxiety level set at 1000%. Those background strings really did the trick.

[perfluorocarbon]

GEEEE wiz and wow-ee. Had to stop again on my walk to comment on this one.

Are you familiar with Martin O’Donnell? Well, he’s the composer of a vast majority of the video game franchise Halo: Combat Evolved’s music. There’s one track in particular I want to make sure you hear- It’s called “Ambient” and it’s from the first Halo, I believe. YouTube it or something. It’s also on iTunes- if you have that subscription suckling on your bank account currently.

Got it? Good.

Okay, this song could have been a serious contender against that one for the level. Or maybe one of the other levels with snow- as this feels quite icy. I love it, though. It’s magnificent. It definitely does bring that floating-in-a-bacta-tank feeling with it.

Something cool: I have an older track that brings with it a similar vibe (though at far lower quality). It’s called Spring- though I wrote it whilst inspired by my vehicle being encased in ice.

I'm familiar with Halo: CE and its music, so that is quite high praise. Thank you very kindly. <3

I'll go and search out your track and give it a listen, it sounds intriguing.

[daffodils]

Oh, man. This brings back childhood memories of plays I performed in. My mom would play the instrumentals in her car on the way to and from places and we’d practice our parts. Almost as soon as this started my brain started writing lyrics for a sung part. A very “first day of my life, fresh start on a blue sky day” kind of vibe. 10/10 would recommend.

[running on empty]

As I’m typing this I’m sitting in an alley behind a dumpster. The sky is a crisp, clean blue which strikes a sharp contrast to the power lines and brick walls. A few other things set the scene- half eaten sandwich turning to liquid in a ziplock bag. A lottery ticket- used and tossed aside, chosen to be a loser like billions of others. An empty Cup-o-Noodles resting in the grass for bugs to play in. The glint of cellophane bits here and there reminding me how broken this whole reality truly has is and always has been.

Tires grind across gravel and engines rev in the street, begging me to stop this pointless train of thought. I’ve had it before enough times to know that, myself. So I ignore them.

Why do we continue? My persona has become fogged through countless attempts to answer that question. Time and time again, I come up empty and grinning.

Is it love? Is it money? Is it power?

Ask the lottery ticket why it was made, and it will tell you; to be scratched. The sandwich will tell you life is about decomposition. The engines will say it’s about the drive, the explosive bursts of speed. The The Cup-O-Noodles will say it’s all about perspective.

Thank you for this song. It very well describes the feeling of persistence near the end of a long struggle. I like how it seems like it’s over many times, but then manages to wrench itself back to life for another go. A beautiful work.

Killer Cyber Metroid Vibes

[Set Them On Fire]

Well dayum.

[ShadowFox - Nella Mark]

Beautiful and high quality. Makes me feel like everything is gonna be okay... and I really like that in a song. Very, very well done. Fav'd, followed and added to my library. I look forward to listening to this song while I'm driving through the mountains someday.

I just released a house song myself, too- and listening to this made me feel small. Like... it's big-ly sounding. I've always wanted to write House music, too, but it's always done so much better by other people. I appreciate you folks. You've got a talent that makes you very special.
