Joseph Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Before deciding, if you haven't already, listen to Issho Ni and . Last year in 2010, Haiti was struck by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake leave 1.6 million people homeless and 316,000 people dead. Music For Relief responded with the first "version" of Download to Donate, in which people donated as much money as they liked in exchange for free downloads of the songs that artist specially uploaded for the program. Linkin Park contributed with Not Alone. On March 11, Japan was hit by a 9.0-magnitude undersea earthquake, which trigger a tsunami which has caused 9,408 deaths, 2,746 injuries and about 13,786 people missing. Music for Relief, as they did with the Haiti earthquake, responded with a new Download to Donate program, this time you donated $10 (USD) in exchange for the tracks band upload. Linkin Park contributed Issho Ni. The tracks are both quite good, and unique in their own way and I just thought it would be cool to find out which or he tracks you like better. So, vote above and tell us why below! If you haven't already, donate via Download to Donate (Music For Relief) and get access to download the tracks uploaded, including Issho Ni.

FearOfTheDuck Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I chose Issho Ni. I love the ambience and simplicity of it, it's really great chill music to put on when you're stressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecanoLP Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I never expected it to ever say that, but there is a song now that is even worse than Not Alone: Issho Ni. Horrible track... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nokpachenne Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I wouldn't say I have anything against Issho Ni (or Not Alone for that matter), because it's not a bad instrumental, but I'd say I prefer Not Alone because its more of a full song with the lyrics and singing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotrix Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Can we chose neither? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucre06 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Above all things. Hawk, good topic. Can we chose neither? +1Yes, why can not choose neither ? I like these two songs. They both are similar in their sound. Okay, I will vote for Issho Ni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraDoN Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 neither but Not Alone if i had to choose since it does sound better with lyrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avo17 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 This is hard. They're both good but I say Issho Ni simply because it's new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashwhisker Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 It seems like they just threw this together from scratch. Was there really nothing else sitting around in the vaults that they could've finished up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I chose Not Alone. I've never really been a big fan of instrumentals like Issho Ni, and I love the lyrics in Not Alone. I think the melody is great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) This thread is pathetic. Surely, there are better things to debate. Since when was this a debut? It's just people saying, I like this song because blah blah. Not, I think this song is better because that song is boring and this song is heavy.

I love both Not Alone and Issho Ni because they were songs that helped for a great cause. Nobody is debating that fact. People just wanted to debate on what song they like better...

Mr X Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Not Alone cause I prefer lyrics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpsoad-09 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) Not Alone. Still wondering why they didn't do anything after the devastating earthquake and tsunami in my country (Chile) last year.

1996_LP Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 No offense guys, but some of you have some silly excuses for liking/disliking 'Not Alone' & 'issho Ni' "Issho Ni'" better 'cause it's fresh", or "not alone"s better 'cause it has lyrics Well I personally like NA better - Yes it has lyrics, but that isn't its best quality. I love it mainly because of its production and mood. It's bridge (with the reversed/sampled strings) gives me chills every time. Haiti couldn't of had a better song made it its tribute imo. "Issho Ni" I still have to warm too. Although, in retrospect being just an instrumental probably is a good thing, and at this time it's probably more appropriate. Trying to create "Not Alone" part2 would have been cheesy, So I'm glad Mike came up with this little track instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr X Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 It was my opinion not an excuse I prefer most songs with lyrics because more work seems to have been put into a song than an instrumental track. However that's not always the case but in this instance that's what I think of these two songs. They're probably unused demos anyway (nothing wrong with that). Both are decent tracks but I like NA better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 At this point, I would donate obscene amounts of money to get a studio version of 20 Eyes by DBS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
