Piano thing in the beginning could maybe start at a slower tempo..? With notes differing from the rest of the song. Would help the "mystic" tone.

Don't dig woopy thing at 00.50 seconds. Well.. I don't dig any of the wooping things actually :P

You could replace them with the tooting things in the background in a lower key, and building up back into.. whatever they were.

Maybe replacing doot doot dooting things (ie @ 1:2 with guitar might sounds nicer.. maybe? I'm no musician.

Whooshing wind things I like. I don't remember, but there was a part with wind and stuff eh? Mystic, needz mor. Or something like. Oh, and more echo in the beginning.

Oooohh.. and I never did like the omgsuperspeed drums in songs.

Rawr rawr, roawr roawr rawr.

I liked it................

it reminded me of the challenges of everyday life and with it to unlock that special part of my brain that the door has been hidden and sealed long ago. Once the door has been opened I cannot be responsible for what comes next but I try to fight it off as much as I can. The guards watch as I use the key and slowly open the door to find the madness that flows through the slight crack on the opening. I decide to close it to open it another day from which once fully opened I can never go back to the way it used to be.

I would not change a thing on the song. It took me to s special spiritual plane in my mind and even though I do no drugs this gave me a high to remember for years to come.

EDIT EDIT
so seemingly i found a way for reverb to fit, but in that case, it doesnt really make a difference, as the reverb has to be so little to prevent the piano clashing with other instruments and also so it doesnt cause crackling.


oh and DH
lmfao

Rawr rawr, roawr roawr rawr.
i appreciate the input, greatly. Ive tried guitar instead of those "doot doot dooting" (lol) synths in the backround, but honestly, it doesnt work well, albeit.
More echo?
I could try that, ill add a slight delay and increase the reverb on the piano.

Oh, and darken:
LMFAO


EDIT:
I tried adding reverb, and it sounds really shitty, even if i make it fade, it just doesnt fit.
I gave guitar another go, instead using a constant arpeggiato that would make any guitarist (including myself) go "Holy shit!" It fit, but didnt blend.
As for the whooping sound, it falls in with an instrument that i use as kind of ambience. You probably wont know its there until you hear a version without it.

Dude, this song would be pretty sweet on DDR
maybe not so much on guitar hero, unless the guitar is some sort of synth.
