I understand. Even I like vary my stuff. But some of them I leave almost untouched, it feels like I could damage the spirit of the tune.... as for On Fire: Part I: Fire In My Heart... I think the fire will burn as long as the music is as beautiful as it is, change it and it will become ashes. This work and project to my opinion is complete.

Funny you say that. Normally I like to vary up the stuff that I do. Even after writing something I usually can think of variations I could have put on the song to make it better. Not so with this.

I'm always drawn to the amount of emotions found in others musics. While others think this is a repetitive one, I don't agree at all, hell I want it to go on even for another 6 minutes just like it is. This is one enjoyable music. But I would also say that if the verses were different or if chorus varied to much the music would not be as interesting as it is.

There is indeed a good amount of repetition here: The two verses are exactly the same, and the chorus does not vary much. What drives the piece, and ultimately determines whether or not someone is going to like it, is the energy and emotion found in the themes that the song presents. This song will be ten years old in a matter of 6 months, and at times I still enjoy listening to it.

You're right opinions are different. I change my focus between the strings and the main theme each time, and it didn't sound repetitive. Try listening to this song while you're busy doing something, and let it play as a background sound, I ended up with at least 12 repeatedly plays of this tune :o)

Well, you do have a point... There are some melodies which I don't ever want to stop, that's true. Unfortunately, however, I can't make this one to be one of them. It's my own personal opinion; I'm sure that there are people that will find this tune perfect, and their opinion is to be respected as well. It's not my opinion - I have heard the song twice again before replying to your comment and I'm sorry, but I'll stick to my original opinion: the song needs more variation. An idea: repeating the same melody line twice is acceptable. The third time it gets repetitive - add in another background lead at that point to boost the melodical experience.

This music isn't repetitive. You are a musician yourself and must have experienced the feeling, there are melodies, parts and moments in a tune you love so much that you wish it didn't stop and instead went on for eternity. This piano melody must be one of those.

Neat song, very neat. Although the previous comments have said this, I guess I can also say what I mean, and that is that the song does need a bit more variation. The melody is good and the bass is a good accompainment, especially in the kind-of-chorus part, where it follows the piano fully (along with the interruptions; very well done). However, it gets repetitive after a while, for me at least. Another lead melody line or, as mickrip said, a transposition would do this song good.

moi? *sheepish look* Oh yes, I think I once said "Sound quality. Now, myself and roncli have had many debates over sound quality in the past, and I know he'll be the first on my back about this, but it sounds fake. Like its been played with plastic toy instruments." ;D

Interesting idea, I'll give that transposition a try when I get home. As for the harmonization, I played all of the piano on my keyboard, nothing was added other than to correct some poor timings and the occasional velocity. That said, I do get some complaints from time to time about the sound quality of the piano in my tunes (this means you, slammy!), even when I think it's okay. I'll give tinkering around with the piano instrument a try as well. In this particular song, I personally think the bass is very weak, and already have plans to correct that at some point in the future. In any case, thank you for your comments, I always welcome feedback. :)

Chord progression is catchy. Theme is solid - But I have some critisisms. Please understand that I'm saying this from a position of respect, and I'm not trying to be mean for the sake of it. The piano feels like plastic and kills the passion completely. The persistant auto-harmonisation of your melody serves nothing but to emphasise the crappy thinnish sound of the piano. It 'feels' like the key of the peice was too high - and perhaps transposing down to D may have helped rectify the thin sound of the piano.

Roncil, what a lovely piece of music. It is very relaxing and predictable. This piece would be great with some vocals. Looking forward to hearing some of the other "Fire in my ____" pieces.

Very nice track! I love the melody, good job!

Fire in My Crotch actually sounds like it could make a decent title for a porn tune... >(///)< That said, there are 6 parts completed in this series, and not all of them are titled "Fire in My ____". As I Reasonize them, they will get reposted... or you can hit http://tns.roncli.com and download the crappy tracked versions.

I see a castle with a little princess that I have to dress and send off to school all the time. Pretty, yet a little boring in the long run.

Do you really think ron, uses that much craq?

Will there be "fire in my crotch" and "fire in my left armpit" as well?
