This is another true work of art here.
Your voice is simply amazing, and piano played a beautiful melody. The progression of the song was shockingly flawless--it held the qualities of something you just can't stop listening to until it's finished (which would still be impossible until after about 5 times listening). Like the increase in volume right before you hit the chorus (which was genius, by the way) --I don't know, it just sounded really professional.
:O
At first I thought it (the intro) lacked a sort of fullness, but that would take away from the lyrics. Wonderful lyrics, by the way. Brilliantly written and sung, all recorded together into Pure Awesomeness.
I wouldn't be surprised if this had been one of the top 5.
I'm impressed this withstood the 0-bombers *stares in wonder and drops to her knees, bowing*

"I see what you mean by your love of the piano."
It is a beautiful piece; it follows the same style as your previous songs. It has a gentle flow to it, like it's taking me somewhere. Very sweet, that's what I like about your pieces :)
By the way, I'D love to see you in that little musicbox ;D LOL

Yeah, I feel really comfortable with this one style, smooth piano stuff. I try to branch out sometimes but it's really just as an exercise; I know where my true talent lies.
Peace.

Sometimes it seemed they was an error or two, the sound of a couple of pianos coming together horribly. It was only once or twice, though.
Nice short piece. Maybe up the volume a bit? Toward the end, it got a little odd.. and the very few last notes confused me a little at the keys it ended at. Sounded like the story changed a slight, eh?

Author's Response:
Yes. And you know why that is? Because the backgrounds are the same for the entire piece. When things get more intense people fail to notice it, but it really is. A low note is hit on beat 1, then a big chord held for 2, 3, and 4. The result of this is that when I have the melody maybe playing a 1 then M7 (half step apart), they are actually synthesized in the same octave, creating unappealling dissonance that would be less obtrusive if seperated by a 7th.
Nobody likes the end! I like the end! lol complain all you want but im keeping it.

It was a genereally beautiful piece. I love the soft, mellow tone to it.
What you might want to do is louden the piano a bit, it's a tad too soft to be heard nicely. Plus it makes the cello tiring after a while.
I love when the two cellos come together.
I play the bass, I hope to switch to the cello next year :)
Nice ending, by the way. Sweet little piece. I think your girlfriend will appreciate this. I can so see it--you composing, she playing :)

You would give it a 9. Ruining my perfect 10 streak! lol imma jk. To be honest, I think a lot of what you didn't like can be fixed in a different recording I have saved in WAV format, therefore incompatible with Newgrounds. I had to settle for the lesser mp3 version.
*Note to all that take the time to read review responses: A superior recording can be obtained by providing me with your email address and asking for it. It really is a very different sound.
Specifically, the piano is louder and has a much better ring to it, making it sound much less synthesized. The cello is more expressive sometimes, although the only complaint that can be made is that the cello is a little awkwardly inconsistent in the way it plays some notes... but overall I like it much better. Yes, cello, the beautiful, mellow string instrument. I respect all of its players. Ah, so you liked the ending this time! Yeah, me too. At least the piano part. The synthesized cello sounds a little funny... I sure hope she plays it. I can play most of the piano part, so that'd be pretty cool... I can dream at least.
Thanks a lot Vesta

"Hehe, I think crepth just summed it up for you :D"
The beat is wicked, and I like the easygoing yet very 'awake' melody. This makes me feel more alert, but with a sort of coolness. I saw the title and was all, "Hmm. Heavy metal? Better be good to be on the top 5." And what do you know.
It's a lot better than good, and it actually sounds industrial, with some heavy, low sounds that give it its Awesome Feel.
It's also the dirty, complex industrial sounds, which basically sound like awesome mixing and scraps of sounds jumbled together in an awesome song. (I just love that word today xD)
Kudos on this! It is Pure Awesomeness (there it is again..)
You know what's weird? Okay, off-topic, but I've been saying that phrase for a while now, and I'm seeing it everywhere now! D:
Anyway, I voted 4 mistakenly. This deserves a 5.

A 10 because of its outstanding originality and randomness, its superb recording and melody. Your voice is perfect for this type of song, and I am very impressed by the whole song, overall.
Just a little thing you got to fix, though. There is about 30 seconds of complete silence at the end. Trim it off; it's unnecessary.
Other than that, I think I've said enough. Great melody, theme, voice, and everything was in sync. I don't think I heard a single thing wrong.
Excellent! I just voted you 5. Didn't make much of a difference, though, since you're currently at a 4.85
XD

Haha! Excellent song, mates.
All aspects of the song were just glowing perfection! Nice voice, lol.
The bass and the synth leads were an awesome touch to the song, and were well in sync. The drums were always in time, and I like the little slow down at 3:15, and it still contained the same upbeatness. Awesome melody, by the way. This is by far the best done vocal song on all of NG. I am very impressed by its professional sound and the overall theme and hilarity. Personally I don't agree, but your voice is convincing :D
Remove the police!
This is a definite add to my faves.

At first, the bird chirping was getting a little extra, but now I realized that was pointless to say. Anyhow.
The bass was PERFECT. Not too loud, but definitely nicely put in to be recognized and appreciated.
I love the overall vibe of the song, although it doesn't really make me thinking of winter at first. I guess it's the birds..there's really none in winter.
Anyway, this is very nicely put together, it's soothing, and the rhythm is nice and easygoing. The piano was smooth, and the flute? I love to death. Amazing work, very professional sounding. You have my 5.

Much love! I hear birds sometime during the winter early in the morning, but maybe I was insane those days. Could've been that just as easily, tbh.
I'm glad you dug the song! I should do something like this again soon... <3

"You've already brought the funk, dude."
This is probably the best I've heard in a while. Very professionally funk sounding ;D
And the theme? I cannot not love. This hath stopped me from doing my hmwrk. Which is good and bad, lol.
Don't let the funk stop! ;D

I think was pretty good, the crowd cheering made it seem kinda of real, but also made it just a little bothersome in a way. Still, the tune was catchy. I think the only main piss off is the bass. It didn't seem loud and clear enough.
And the ending. Way too abrupt. If you want it to seem real and filled with energy, that's fine, but it was the crowd that did it. When it ended, it sounded like it got cut off. Fading out the crowd would sound more realistic.
However, I'm impressed with the overall progression. And the kick was good.
