How could I not review a song that has part of my name in it.
As you probably figured, I like listening to sadder pieces, so I can probably offer you more advice.
The strings in the background are quite effective, but I think you should replace that plucking string, with bells. High octave, reverbed, maybe delayed bells.
When the strings pick up with the vocals, it gets quite moving.
At this point, I really think a cello would work very well, a nice deep voice to merge with all the other high pitched voices. It would make the song sound "fuller".
On another note, have you considered putting sound effects in songs like this? You know a beach sound, rain, fire, wind, those kind of things, would work magic on sad songs. If you listen to my song Soul of Viano, you will see what I mean.
Great stuff again medieval7, this easily gets my 5/5. Keep them coming.

Nice melody work again.
The neat thing about these sounds you are using, is simply that though they sound classical, they do have their own electronic qualities. A morph, a mutant, but a good one none-the-less.
I can imagine this song with a nice flute as well, I think it would benefit from one a good deal.
5/5 from me again medieval7. Good stuff, keep them coming.
(I really should check out your techno stuff while i'm here ^^)

The first thing that came to mind, was the awesome vocal near the end? You have to email me and tell me how you did that, its a very powerful feel, I want to emulate for my own songs.
The strings are indeed quite powerful. Simple, yet effective.
Great work Fehn, I would love to hear this as a full song.
5/5 from me.

awesome... so serene, so laid back, yet those progressions in the background are so aggressive.
An interesting feel.
Good work RaustBlackDragon, I have little to say about this song that wouldn't alter its core completely. Its fine the way it is.
5/5 from me.

This sounds so damn amazing. What VST Program did you use to make them. I am quite fascinated by the sounds here, it sounds so damn fine, and refined.
The melody structure is quite useful too. Makes for good ambiant music.
That violin stab though, I didn't quite like, seemed kinda... random.
Impressive 1812, keep them coming.

this was truly sad, moving so gently... it moved me a great deal.
I know this was just supposed to be a piano piece, but I can imagine this piece with a gentle rain, viola/flute weaving in and out of the piano.
So gentle.
This is a really good piece. 5/5 from me LfunkeyA, again this song so deserves to be in Classical, not Misc.

thanks again man, I was afraid that this would get a bad review. It probably will get bad reviews, but I felt like posting it. It is good as a basis for something, actually it sounds very nice when reversed, but that would be cheating:). I will have to improve it.

my first thought that came to mind, you have some pretty good orchestrated sounds. Samples? If this isn't a sample, and actual melody made by you, thats pretty damn impressive.
It sounds pretty sad, and like you said, truly fits the title Rainy Days.
I love sad music, you can see by my name. I make a lot of sad stuff to, please do check them out sometime ^^.
Onto this song.
I felt it was a tad repetitive. Have you considered a piano? A flute? Those two would make for a pretty good instrument to illustrate Rainy Days.
There is some notes clashing in this loop.
The whole hip-hop percussional beat added a really neat favour.
5/5 from me. Don't put music in Misc, they never get listend to there, instead put a song like this in classical.
Keep them coming ^^.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review. I played this myself, just two differntly pitched "strings". Yeah, I need some piano and stuff. The beat was repetitive too, I admit, but I never find the patience to make things complex, and I should. I'll check your stuff out.

hey, its been a while ^^.
Lets begin with that intro, strange. That slide I usually don't like, but it sounded pretty neat here.
The song just washes over my ears again and again, aggrisvely, yet gentle enough to just guide you through it.
The volume levels are a tad unshaky, gets from real quiet to real loud, but its not that big an issue.
I really enjoyed it IamMark.
A lot of 0 voters seemed to have found your page, i'm fiven this song, and a whole lot others, to try and balance some of it out.
Excellent stuff man, keep them coming.

as you said later on it got pretty neat, but I don't think you should have people wait that long before anything of significance happens you know what I mean?
For sure, cut up that intro, make it shorter.
I didn't hear any pads, do consider one or two, for some background noise.
Interesting stuff Edski, keep them coming man. 4/5 from me.

thanks for your review, ill remember it to use pads xD
