That bass in the beginning is freaking beast!
I really liked it.
The synth is pretty plain, nothing special but it occumpanies the bass really good.
The beat sounds good with it too.
I was hoping for pads, and you added them later on but..the song still seemed empty..=/
It still felt like it had empty spaces within the song. I would suggest adding maybe some more synth countermelodies in, you know, to give the song some depth?
Otherwise, this sounds like the beginning of a song that has major potential!
Keep it up man!

Congrats on the top five man!
Not that I would expect less from you.
Yeah, the piano progession starting in the beginning without the harmonized notes was a bit off, but once the harmony came in..
All that crap went out the window! Nice job man.
Piano was HAWT! <33
Good work man! Top 5 ftw!

"Donkey Kong! Memories..<3333"
Very very good. Love how you incorporated a hiphop/trance feel in this. It's pretty sweet.
Especially when you slow the beat during the, well I call it, 'The Build-Up' of the song.
I've always loved the song at the Mines..that and the Vine place..(Don't know if you have any idea what you're talking about.)
And I agree with you with the "rare musician". Now-a-days people are focusing more on Nobuo Uematsu (and I won't fret, I love the guys music myself), but I do know that I practically loved ALL the songs on the DK games.
Anyway..strung out review XD, thanks so much for putting your twist on an already awesome song!
P.S.-I don't know what it is at from 1:31 to like 1:36, that glitch was highly annoying (I know it goes with the song). Otherwise, nice job man.
Author's Response:
Hey, thanks a lot for your review. I know what you're talking about. I listen to the DK music quite a bit, and find myself listening to the Mining Melancholy piece the most.
Also, the 1:31 to 1:36 pattern annoys me too, so I am probably going to re-upload the MP3 (not the entire submission) with that drum pattern either changed or removed. I was trying to get that feel from the original piece, but it just isn't happening with these sounds.
Thanks again, though. Appreciate it!
Sincerely,
Ka'eo

First off, very nice song. You gave the feeling that you entitle in the name. You did really good with this, I always like heart felt songs like this.
Now the beat..
The beat sounds...generic? I don't know how to define it. The beat is good, I'm not saying it's not, it just sounds like it came from FL. Trust me, I have the same problem, and now I understand what people mean when they say that they can hear and tell when a beat or something sounds like it came directly from the FL. You could maybe add some reverb on the congos to give it a more solemn effect. (Is it congos? I have no idea lol)
The melody is really good, I liked it, especially with the bells. The flute was a nice touch as well, and I really liked the pads you used. I was hoping you'd put piano in, but you didn't, which doesn't really matter but anyway..
This is a real good song. I coul definitely hear it in a video game.
Keep up the good work!
Author's Response:
Yeah. I'm not very good with beat. Most of my songs don't have a beat, and that's something I need to work on.
As for the piano, I would like to use a piano, but I don't have any descent piano samples. I have looked all over the internet for them, but I can't find any free ones.

I like the bass, especially in the beginning. You have it at the point where you can hear it, but it's not overbearing.
The synth in the beginning is nice, I like the melody you have going with it. After a while it becomes a bit bland. Maybe put some variation in the snyth to spice it up a bit?
But again this is still a demo.
Good luck with this, it sounds like it's going to be good!

The beginning was nice, it sounded like an awesome buildup..
I was expecting something spectacular, or spontaneous near the end..
The sounds got louder but..nothing came!!
The kick could be stronger I think, it's a little on the weak side.
The synths and everything are really nice.
My only problem is that it felt like a huge buildup..but I think this is only a demo..? so if that is the case it's stil pretty good.
If you are making a full length version of this song..(or a longer version) this would be a great beginning, but maybe you should cut it a bit short because it drags out a bit.
Nice work man!
Author's Response:
Yeah i know it has a great build up but i just dont know what to do next i got stuck or i choked. Making it longer would not be a bad idea. But your expecting someting? what whas on your mind? Pm me if you whant.

It's good.
I can tell you just removed the slayer.
It sounds good with just the piano in my opinion.
I don't know, maybe you could tweak this, and switch up the piano melodys, and make a version of this song with the slayer, and one featuring the piano.
It is slightly repetitive, but the melody is still catchy and entertaining.
Nice man.
Author's Response:
I have actually added a string, made several changes in the piano, added reverb to piano, and made some changes in the structure and some minor things. It is also 17 seconds longer ;)
But thanks for the review and score!

Love the piano in the beginning.
I don't really care for the slayer, it takes away the clamness of the song in my opinion.
But anyways, this is nice.
Keep it up.
Author's Response:
Very happy indeed :D
I like happy songs, so I really just wanted to make a really happy one this time :)
I have made so many calm songs, so I really just wanted the slayer to keep people from falling asleep ;D
Thanks for great score!

At first i thought it was ambient.
I agree, the kick could be harder.
Otherwise, can't wait for the full.
Author's Response:
Never heard Ambient =S. I'll se what I can do about the Kick. can always use a Hardstyle kick, anyway, thenx for the Review

The song has a good vibe to it..
It just seems to repeat it self. It's somewhat of a build-up song all lthe way through.
I guess to sum it up, after a while it loses it's interest.
It's still a good song though.
Keep it up!
