This song is amazing :OOO

It's not every time I listen to a song that the beginning just instantly hooks me... but this is definitely one of those cases. The chord progression was instantly interesting, and the melody tugged my attention as soon as I heard it. Something about it is just so beautiful and also nostalgic, and makes me feel happy. It feels like a dance song and a video game song at the same time. Just all together I love this a bunch, keep up your amazing work!!!

What a happy song :D
It feels like it's from the late 2010s, maybe its the instruments you used or the progression style, but either way it's great! It's adventurous too a bit, so the title is very fitting haha. I enjoyed how the song sounds like a story from beginning to end, and pretty much doesn't stagnate at any point either. Awesome stuff, keep it up!!

Such a fun song! The progression is great, I love how it starts and how towards the middle it gets all glitch-hoppy. It does have a very playful atmosphere for sure, due to the melody you made and the instruments you used. The progression also keeps varying up and sounds fun and exciting. Overall just brings out pretty happy emotions :)

Great stuff, keep it up!

Thank you for your kind words  ŏ̥̥̥̥םŏ̥̥̥̥ 

Супер шедевр! Трек звучит как будто выскочил прямо из 2000-их. Я такой тип техно-транс слушал много много лет назад, и это приводит кучу воспоминаний. Энергия здесь класс, и мелодия очень красивая. Как обычно, так держать!!

Another great song by you, awesome! This one has a much different energy that I also like. It feels very introspective and makes my brain feel like it's flying away into the clouds or something haha. I like the crushed instruments you used, they create a good contrast between the other instruments, yet sound great with all the instruments together. The arps also help give the track more character and a bit of an actiony flair. Amazing work once again, keep it up!!

thank you once again!!

Great energy, great progression, and just amazing melody all together! I think the challenge you described is a really cool idea, so the result of your experiment being so awesome sounding I'd say is a total success. You make use of so many things in such an awesome way, especially the gates at the end to kinda slow the song and end it. And in general I'm a huge fan of how the song keeps evolving from start to finish, it never stagnates or gets repetitive and feels like a fun and crazy journey. Awesome work once again, keep it up!!

SoundNinja responds:

I really appreciate this! thank you so much!

Reminds me of classic NG trance/2000s techno a bit, very cool! The energy almost immediately starts of pumping with the kicks, and just keeps building with intensity. The break you have in the middle is also very refreshing as it gives an opportunity for the song to get crazy again in a fresh way. The melody through the whole song is also really fun and jumpy, it reminds me a bit of a song called Flower that I heard once but it has more energy and is bouncing off the walls haha. Amazing work, keep it up!!

Sounds very calm and relaxing, would work perfect for an ending to some kind of game! So I think you nailed that perfectly haha. The song has nice pacing, more realistic for piano playing with emphasis on certain parts, a lot of "dragged on" notes for example which I think was really fitting. Good luck with the game and make sure to not give up, and keep up the great music work!

As for the last thing you said, it's pretty common I feel to stutter on finishing and releasing a big track because you are worried you'll mess something up. I had that for years throughout my time making music, and even now! I think it's really good to try to see where you can make things sound better or what you can generally improve, just make sure not to get caught too deep in never releasing it because you're worried you might have missed adding something. After a decent amount of work, maybe some feedback from people you know or whatever if you'd like, it would be a good time to release imo :)

hey, thanks for stopping by! i apreciate your comment!
im trying so so so hard not to abandon the "big project", but its really hard when everything i make for it just ends up sounding so fucking bad. i have a great drop and build up, and i cant seem to make an intro/bridge/whatever. they all seem just really unfitting and weak.

however, i can see that its probably my best song yet, even if i only have so little done, so i just have to push myself to finishing. thank you for the advice, it will 100% come in handy.
have a nice day mate!

I actually love hotter temperatures lol, my favorite is between 30-40C because it's perfect for swimming haha

As for the track though it's really great! Definitely has that happy energy to it, and feels like it would work well in some kind of sunny skateboarding level in a game. Keep up the great work as always :)

wineplume responds:

thanks kindly!
30-40 is absolute hell for me, everything above 25 is.

I think you definitely hit that nostalgic feeling in a combination of the melody you made, the instruments you used, and the overall progression of the song. The instruments were soft and dreamy, the pacing was on the slower side (not in a bad way at all though), and the melody is very introspective; combining all these things really intensifies the feeling you were going for. I think you did a great job! Keep it up :D
