What I personally think the start may have been lacking was some light piano. I really could have heard some very light piano even playing minimal keys, but still playing. After that, the melody is very catchy and easy to bob your head to.
I think you should expand on this, maybe work on the transition to the kick a little more. Once you've got that I can hear some real nice counter-melodies making their way into this. Keep this up! Kathy will be proud :3

Piano? Hm..ill think about it. I wasn't going to put piano cause i just wanted to start it off like this but maybe it will help, and ill try it out. Yeah, im adding the transitions and stuff later on, and i just want to get the basic format of the song for now :D I'll get to the complex stuff later lol. Counter-melodies? Is that like new melodies based off the first one? But yeah, i hope i can make this song really good and kathy better be prooud! Thanks for the review!

I think you should have done more with the melodic part because it's really catchy. I can see a continuation of this with some high fast melodies going behind the main one :3
Keep it up XD

Theres really not much else to say <3
Been listening to this for a long time and I love it. Incredibly emotional and powerful. I feel like I can say more while listening to this song. I feel almost empowered and I can feel the love that went into this song.
I wish you the best of luck, and although it won't help to say you deserve better (Because I know you loved her) but with you putting forth this much emotion into song, it's clear the amount of love you felt, (and still feel)
Best wishes,
~Envy

I'm glad you enjoyed it and I'm glad it makes you feel that way. :D
I'm still trying my hardest to move on, but that's never easy. I've still got a long way to go.
I'll find the right one for me eventually, it's all trial and error till then. I'll use this experience to my advantage. :]
Thanks much for the review. <3

I can't say I enjoy the opening whistle too much, thats essentially my only real complaint XD
That and the hats were a tad high, making my ears go ow a little (but I have my headphones really loud anyways)
The rest of it was pretty good, it had a nice flow and gave a pretty happy feeling. I'd just say work a little more on transitions and keeping the track moving at the same time. You got the melodies down pretty good, so just keep it up!
I loved the piano type synth that comes inat 1:36 playing the arp btw XD

I loved the intro, but it seemed a bit out of tune, the bass that is. Once it got going it was nice, but the kick was a little loud distorting the rest of the track. Try making a 4/3 hardstyle, I can definately see this in 4/3. I loved the stabs at the start, that was my favorite part.
Again, i don't know tons about hardstyle so I can't give real helpful examples, but the intro sounded really nice.
Author's Response:
Got to fix my distortion kicks, I'll go find a tut in youtube about that. Don't know what you mean about 4/3 hardstyle probably about the beat? You got to pm me about that lol. :P And I think you helped me allot by just taking time for reviewing me. ;) So thanks!

"The thing that got me was the percussion."
The percussion seems to have jumbled up the mix.
Mostly because kick has a long sustain so anything after it gets distorted. I loved the "attack" vox can't lie in saying I'm a bit jealous of it.
Most of what I can offer as advice is the high's are dominating in this track. As bass-score said, a little bit more bass (With my experiences with hardstyle theres never been low bass, but more of a growl)
Can't really comment on much else because I don't make hardstyle so my opinion would be bias.
Nice work, some of the snares seemed a tad random, but it sounded good overall.
Author's Response:
Yeah my beats are quite distorted because of the kick.. However I don't know how to fix that, I am not that good with producing yet. :P Btw I could send you some of my vocal samples to you if you like! ;D For the rest, I think I'll turn up the bass to the max, and I'll posible change it to a more growling one you say. Also in fact now I hear the song multiple times I see I did wrong with the snares.
I am really thankfull that you helped me sort things out, and correct them!
You helped me more than enough, so your oppinion isn't bias! :P
Thanks for the review!

I loved the piano work, and the buildup is awesome. So dancey.
The piano definately kicked the whole thing off awesome, although IMO the buildup took a little bit too long for my tastes, but once it got going it was awesome man.
Nice work!
