I hope they did not put you in too much of a bad mood. Great music as always.

That was a fast listen. I don't think it's even been 5 minutes, yet.

Got two thirds through at the time of posting. ;)

That's what I figured. X)

Not what I was expecting... I guess I was thinking it would be more angry, but it's reflective and thoughtful, with only touches of frowniness. I love your piano playing.

I guess I failed in that respect, then.

Oh I don't think so at all. You successfully convey indignation in the music and the way that it is played, but I think indignation can have varying degrees of anger within it. Your piano playing is organic and mellow, so I think it can be hard for me to hear anger there.

Nice work, friend. The emotion seems to be frustration, too. Am I reading that correctly?

Highly perceptive of you.

the Requiem for Contentment

that was very nice! so solly you feel irritated, but you channeled it into an inspring piece of music, that's the mark of a good artist :) imo, and a healthier and more productive way of handling things rather than spewing specifics out for everyone to gorge on :P

Heh. Some would say they'd rather be warned of the people in question that they might not fall into the same traps. No need to feel sorry, now. It is what it is.

Must be the season for people losing their freaking minds. This song hit me hard, Flare. Thank you and keep up the good work. Sounds amazing.

Hard in the good or bad way, neighs? I'll do my best to continue. Thanks for listening and hope you stick around for more. :)

In a bad way unfortunately. I am having severe SL issues with someone. And it just really hit.

From the looks of things, this particular track sparked a ton of response. Best of luck in resolving the issues that are bothering ya... I know one of mine has been settled today unexpectedly, which was a boon.

Getting on your nerves? *the big bruin stands up and snarls* Okay, who do I have to punch and/or eat?!

This is an outstanding piece! You created such a feeling of tension and agitation. As always, you turn your emotions into something beautiful.

Mmm, give me a call and I'll give you the list. ;) Did you get my email saying my website was ready for whatever you had planned? *whinnies atcha*

If anyone's gonna eat anyone for Flare's sake, it should be me! ]X8D

Great piece ^.^ well done. :3

Thank you for the kind words :)

I think this is a very nice, if unique way of portraying indignation through music. Indignation doesn't have one way to be expressed. This could be considered the subtle way of expressing said emotion.

Thank you for listening :)

I enjoyed it, I always love breaking up my stint of porn browsing to listen to your work.

Certainly one of the better compliments a musician can get on this site :) Thank you very, very much. ^^

This has a degree of confidence in the playing that you don't normally have, I look forward to more of this confidence in your work. There's more passion and direction here too than I've heard in many of your older works, the composition has greater strength and the playing more clarity. I'm glad I had the free time to properly sit and listen to this.

I did say it was different than my usual fare, yes? :) Glad you enjoyed.

I believe that the message of indignation was very well delivered, its as if the song progresses it gives a feeling of increasing anger and that 'rest' in the end just before the last chord gave a stronger feeling to the rest of the song as like reflection on the anger.

Thanks for the feedback :) It's greatly appreciated neigh. ^^

but thats just my point of view

:3 sorry for all the posts i always forget something

oh, moo, I can definitely detect a hint of some of the old piano greats in this. Very powerful, very retro Olde English sounding to me. I bet Beethoven and Mozart and the like would be proud and inspired by this ]:8)

You should get pissed off more often, seems to be quite the inspiration ]X8D

People like angry music I guess. o.o;;

Heh, I didn't even read your response before posting mine. I agree. Beethoven was the first thing to come to my mind.

Heh, this reminds me of my favorite composer: Beethoven.

I love this piece you did Flare. I posted once halfway through, once after listening to most of it, and once more after listening to most of it again, mostly as an excuse to listen to it over again. Angry music doesn't need to be loud. In fact, the . . . what to call it . . . the calmness pervading it speaks more of self-control. Anger and upset can be spoken through the eyes, and doesn't always have to be busted out in a fit. What I "hear" is someone dealing with the issue, rather than letting it control him. Anger is usually best dealt with when it isn't done in a storm of fury, and sometimes, all it does is burn up bridges that could otherwise be repaired. Some people are far too concerned about their desire to be angry about something, and far too little concerned about the eventual outcome. This is what the song makes me think of.

Wonderful work. And I agree with the other poster, I like the confidence here. But, if you can find the inspiration sometime, I'd like to hear this confidence in positive "notes" as well.

your music is always so beautiful

Personally, this sounds like music in the backround of a tea-house play...some old lady drops her tea cup with a curl of her lip and stands in...well...indignation and slaps the other smug woman in the face before storming off to another scene... of course, I'm rather fatigued, but this is the level of Indignation I'm getting from this.

Of course, my level indignation would be more of an explosion of insults and shades and read against someone who crosses me just right...
While you have expressed the song's aim, twas not much more than a small scuffle of elderly women.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it though. ~gives an apple~

*whinnies and chuckles, accepting the apple* I did get quite the array of comments both here and on messengers about this one. I'm not quite sure how to view it myself in hindsight, but if it's generating commentary, I think that's good too :)
