With a new submission out I feel I should make a news post, rather than leave the news as an edit on a previous post. So you probably know I had, a few days ago, submitted Sorrow Knows Many Names (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/167201). It is a solo piano piece and is the first piano piece I have ever composed, as well as the first full piano piece I have ever played. (I was learning piano as I composed it.) I was pretty satisfied with how it turned out, and watched as for a while it was on the top 5! Of course, this feeling of joy did not last long, as slowly but surely it sunk in the classical charts, and as I speak it is off the front page of clasical entirely. I realize that this is Newgrounds, and that this was bound to happen as other decent submissions had been struck down in the same way as mine, some worse off than my own. However, I just wish I could have held onto that joy, that happiness, a little bit longer, cherishing a moment that quickly and inevitably faded in the sands of time. It is only fitting that the song that i submitted is one of sorrows, a theme song to it's own falling. I know I probably shouldn't expect that it, especially with it being my first piano piece, would stay high in the charts. But if your an artist, here on newgrounds especially, I'm sure you know what I'm feeling right now. And if you are one of those with songs on the top, congragulations and I am happy for you, hold onto it as long as you can for it is a great feeling to have it up there.
Moral: Fame is often fleeting, the music you made however will stay with you forever.
But who knows, maybe it'll make a comeback.
