I hear "Get up, I get up, I get up, I get up..." when I hear this.

Life will throw (many difficult) things at you that can break your spirit. But don't ever give up on doing what you love, because it's what keeps you going.

That's what this song is about, right? ;)

Genraltweet responds:

Yes, sir :)

Thats what this song is all about. . .

But it sure is hard to follow your dreams at times.. .

Dude, this is awesome. I'm never disappointed when I listen to your songs.

johnfn responds:

Thank you!

Man, you are an AMAZING music artist. I hope you never give up making music, because I love your music, and you keep getting better and better at it. I look forward to your future songs, because I know they will probably blow me away just as this song has.

GREAT job!! :)

johnfn responds:

Thank you! :)

A 2-second loop that is number 3 right now on the currently most popular songs of NG. Man, I'm impressed!

Conal responds:

That's common for brand new tracks, because it hasn't been online long enough to get a general voting audience. It will soon sink.
I did some blog about my ratings & how it doesn't really mean anything. http://conal.newgrounds.com/news/post/885460

Also, I made this loop for flash animators.

Hey man, this is really good, probably my favorite song I've heard from you so far. It's great that you can channel your negative emotions into creating something that is beautiful and creative. I enjoyed this very much, and I hope things don't get you down too much!

Nah im good, life is life you cant change it only live it. I find when my emotions are highest is when my creativity peaks. Thank you for the review and i hope to make more life this soon.

Dude, this song is awesome! Epic and emotionally stirring. Great job!

One question though: You don't do the mastering on your own songs? I'm new to music production (I use GarageBand), and I was just wondering what was your actual workflow for creating a song like this? Is it all VST's or do you have actual live recordings of instruments? Thanks!

nmarnson responds:

Thanks!

Regarding mastering, no i dont do it. I really just don't how. I just know that when i send it to this guy, he does things that i dont know how to do, and it sounds way better. I'll hopefully learn as time goes on.

As for instruments, everything is samples, East West to be specific. Hollywood Strings, HLWD Brass, stormdrum 2, symphonic orchestra. I definitely hope to get more adept at adding real recordings as i get better, especially for solo instruments, like that cello in the begining.

Sounds really good so far. :)

Acidicfriend responds:

thank you :D

Cool! But dude, how can you forget that you know how to play guitar? Your life must be really crazy and busy for something like that to happen!

Barzoom responds:

Haha, it's an exaggeration really. I just haven't been seriously playing it for a couple of years now. :P

Sounds nice and smooth. I'm really new to music creation, but to me this sounds pretty professional. I like how the synths ease in and out, giving the whole song a nice flowing texture. It does feel just a bit repetitive to me, but I know that is usually a common quality in electronic ambient/house songs, so that's not necessarily bad.

If you make songs in the future that are near this level of quality, I would say that you definitely deserve to be scouted, and I have a feeling you will. Good job!

Alph4TG responds:

Thanks a bunch, man! More tracks are definitely in the making! As for the "professional" bit, allow me to give you some advice: know what every little knob 'n dial does to your sounds. It really helps to actually know what you're doing to your sound to make improvements. Good luck in music making, man! It's a really fun hobby :-)

Cool. The melody sounds strangely familiar to me for some reason. Is this an original?

ChaotixMachine responds:

Yeap.
