the ONLY reason I'm not giving this a ten is the title, this is a well put together piece that is by no means repetative(something that i really admire about this artist) the only con in this list of pros is that something called on the edge to me should sound a little more... well... edgy
Thanks for the honest criticism, man. For all intents and purposes, you are entirely correct. This is pretty laid-back for gazing down over the edge, but that's probably because I'm generally a rather calm, cool, and collected kinda guy. I guess that's what happens during a life where you've pretty much seen it all.
In the end, the painful truth is that naming songs can be hard. Sometimes I come up with something and I think "Yes! That's perfect!" while other times I may not be entirely happy with what I pick. This one feels pretty right to me, but of course that doesn't mean it will match the music for someone else. Well, I guess that's my two cents worth. I'm happy that you still drop by and offer up so many fine reviews. Thanks again!
"Packed up my bags,
I'm on my way to nowhere.
I'm so High-Low, my empty eyes hide nothing,
I'd give a clue, I was broken by you, but you
haven't stopped break'n me in!
(chours) Breaking me in, Break me out of my skin!
Shoving me in my own self!
Breaking me in, Break me out of my skin!
Shoving me in my own self.
Packed up my bags, I'm on my way to the station.
I'm so High-Low, I think I might need a face lift.
I'd give a clue, I was broken by you,
But you havn't stopped break'n me in!

It's played in Drop-D....
Notes in order are: A, C, A, A flat, F...... thats it. Really simple.
well done my friend but if you were trying to make something to "sound like insanity" i would go with more high notes and make it a little choppy simply to imitate the edgyness and slight paranoia that comes with the package
Thanks for the review, chaosdrakath! I certainly hear what you're saying, and if I were to do a similar idea today it would probably sound a lot different. I composed this quite a few years back, but I figured it would be fun to add to my collection here on Newgrounds. Other pieces like Darkness and Nightmare are much more current.
Of course, there are many different types of insanity...
The fields of Philosophy and Psychology happen to be my specialties, actually. Fear is not something that needs to be escaped or locked away deep inside, but instead it should be faced and stared down. Nightmares are the embodiment of fear within the human psyche via the essential need of sleep. If the fear can itself be conquered, so too can the terrors that we manifest within our dreams.
Thank you very much for the insightful review. The 10 is pretty awesome, too! :)
this was a well put together piece with wonderful beat and melody, this is a cocktail of dnb, a splash of dj with a hint of tropical and whole lot of drums and techno
