1Overall Description
Once again, staring at the blank review sheet trying to find all the right words to describe a song. (I am not good at this.) But they come pretty easily when all you have to do for a song is sing some praise. The song really takes me back to some old school game music so you straight away get the nostalgia points.
 
2Creativity Description
Creatively I don't think the piece gets top points but you definitely bring a unique feel to the genre which is great. The opening melody sets the whole mood of the song and I knew straight away I was going to get something different. You've tapped into one of my favourite musical traits. Creating happy music without sounding like you've composed the theme tune to a kids tv show. (Creating happy music that is actually good.)

I feel a lot of people thrive off all the bad things in life when composing music so it's great to find one of those gems that breaks the mould and does something for itself.
 
3Arrangement Description
The piece follows a pretty linear pattern (which is not so much a bad thing!) I do it a lot myself. It's another one of those things that I really like in music if done well. If you've got something good, why ruin it by branching off or adding to it. The piece is simple and that's what works for it. I don't think you could add anything else to the song to make it any better than it is.

The song develops nicely with some great melody and everything is really smoothly tied together.
 
4Sound Quality Description
You've used some really nice soft instruments in the song that really help set the calm, ambient mood. There are a couple of rougher instruments that creep in throughout the song, namely the lead but even that compliments to the song.

For what it is, the production quality of the song is great too, but I think I've brought up the nostalgic qualities of the song enough.
 
5Does it work as a piece of music Description
Overall I give the song a 4/5. It's not a totally standout track but it's definitely a nice tune to chill out to and really helps get my own creative juices flowing. I feel this kind of music is looked over in this day and age so it's great that people are still out there creating music for themselves instead of trying to adhere to what is wanted/acceptable in the modern day.

Top song.
