| Sailor Boy by Joanna | 16 days ago |
| Thank you all so much! I miss that guitar, but I can't make it reappear so I've been learning the ukulele, hoping to become a better player. These old songs really are a time machine. I was so much younger then. I'm so happy there's a way to share them. |

| All That Jazz by Vixen | 5 months ago |
| One of my favorite musicals. So many great songs. This one's a lot of fun to sing, isn't it? Great backing track, too! | |
| I Love My Ukulele by Joanna | 6 months ago |
| Aw, thanks Dylan! And thanks for the link. I looked at electric ukuleles, but I'm an acoustic kinda gal. It was sure fun to hear it in that clip, though! | |
| I Love My Ukulele by Joanna | 6 months ago |
| Thank you all so much! I really appreciate you all dropping by. To respond to some comments: Lagu, I will keep practicing so that I can get better, I promise. The new uke deserves a better player. Omnicel, yes, I've heard Izzy -- he was amazing. Pharm, thank you for the compliment to my new best friend (overboard? A little) -- I always appreciate your comments. Artist08, hey, nice to see you again! And what a coincidence that we have the same uke. Cool! Dirigent, you are always so generous with your comments, thank you. | |
| Good Bye My Friend by JodyG | 11 months ago |
| Aw shoot, Jody, I'm so sorry to hear that you've lost such a valued member of your family. The song is wistful, with both grief and gratitude for the life lived and now lost. I know this loss all too well. My heart goes out to you. | |
| Nowhere Man-(Beatles cover) by grathy | 1 year ago |
| ooh, very cool take on this Beatles classic! I love the Beatles. Your vocals float like cream on this song, really nice, delicate touch. | |
| White Trash Blues by pharmakeus | 1 year ago |
| That is some sweet guitar! I got really lost it in while listening. Although there were some pitch problems with the singing, you enunciated the lyrics cleanly enough that their message came through and I love that. I'm a big fan of lyrics and am always happier if I can understand them. Although the guitar was the star, I liked a lot of things in this wonderful blues song! | |
| Outstanding by Merlin | 1 year ago |
| This is excellent. Has a very cinematic feel. You paint a mood quite well, slipping from one emotional shading to another. | |
| I Heard It In The Bass Line by thenownows | 1 year ago |
| I love the theatricality of this tune. It has an almost burlesque feel to it. Great job! | |
| Eviction by Joanna | 1 year ago |
| Thank you Hiphop, Ruby, Moe, and Pharm! I really appreciate you all stopping by for a listen and a comment! Ruby - my hands were too involved playing the uke to put a finger in my cheek. I do it a weird way: I flick my tongue against my upper lip. It gives me far more control (I can "pop" a song by changing the shape of my mouth) than with a finger on the cheek and it leaves my hands free. I am so weird! Thanks again to you all! |

| My Brother's Song by JodyG | 1 year ago |
 I sang an original song at my brother's wedding, too. I know how important it is to fit the song to the couple. I don't know your brother, but I'll bet there wasn't a dry eye in the house, including the groom. This is beautiful. |
|
| " Who Burned My Chile"? Piano Blues by JodyG | 1 year ago |
Oh, this was so much fun! I sang along, doing my bluesiest burnt chilli kinda thang. I adore you, Jodi! This is just so sweeet. |
|
| If I Were Your Woman by Keedee | 1 year ago |
| You never fail to impress. More fantastic vocals from another memorable diva. You have talent times twelve! |
|
| Papa, Can You Hear Me by Keedee | 1 year ago |
| I'm a big Streisand fan and loved Yentl. You sang the heck out of this song, Keedeeg, wow! this is a really tough song to sing (I used to sing it accompanied by my guitar). I don't have anywhere near your range so you were able to go to all those places I only wish I could go. Wowzers, what a voice! | |
| Everytime I Try to Get Close to You by pharmakeus | 1 year ago |
| Great job, guys! Gonna need a ladder to get out of those blues. | |
| 9/11 PART 3 (anchormans´ last words) by dr_elvis01 | 1 year ago |
| I like the message you're sending. More and more people are agreeing with the lyrics of this song than the messengers of war. Great work! | |
| Olympic Fanfare by mbehar | 1 year ago |
| Wonderful job, Mori! Absolutely dead on for an Olympic anthem. Love the concept behind it and the execution. Bravo! Gold medal! | |
| Think I Can, Know I Can-(Olympic Spirit) by grathy | 1 year ago |
| I, too, love to swim and was in many a meet in my youth (and I wasn't very good so the Olympics never even entered my mind, but the spirit of hoping to achieve even in the smallest of meets was there). You did a great job on this and I liked the idea of the mantra as opposed to complex lyrics is a great one. It was on the faces of all the athletes as they waited for the gun/tone/whatever to start the race. |
|
| Home Town, song for a warrior by bama | 1 year ago |
| It's got a sort of country twang to it (though I'm far from a country expert so I could be totally wrong). Maybe it's the homespun message, though the lyrics fit beautifully with your source material. Great delivery on this. | |
| Run Away by bama | 1 year ago |
Another endearing piece of music, bama. A good improv track (I have more than my share of those up, too). Nice work on the lyrics for an improv piece! |
|
| Beloved, a capella version, 3 voices by bama | 1 year ago |
I must agree with the others, this is a lovely song. I love harmony and you did it very well. Excellent work! |
|
| Mother by MikeRC | 1 year ago |
| The phrasing and choices almost exactly mirror the Streisand version of this song. It's not easy to do Streisand so kudos to the vocalist! | |
| The Hidden Agenda by Jovana | 1 year ago |
| Funkalicious! As others have said, I like the layers. Some nice harmonies in there, too. | |
| The Silly Things I Didn't Do Today by Joanna | 1 year ago |
| Thank you to those who played this for your kids! I really appreciate that as they are my primary audience with this song. | |
| 24/7 by Joanna | 1 year ago |
| I adore Sergio's work and the man himself was a true sweetheart. Thanks everyone for listening! Man, I love this site. I get to play around with a microphone and then let anyone who wants to, hear my goofy fun. | |
| Justin Case (a Dedication) by Filmscorz | 1 year ago |
| Yowza, that's some great jazz trumpet there, my friend! | |
| Save The Day by CronicFortune | 1 year ago |
| Nice! Love the pop vibe on this one. Good arrangement. I'd love it if you gave a little more info about the song (I love reading that stuff) and post the lyrics so those of us who love lyrics can read them. The song itself is great. Congrats to your cousin, too! |
|
| Lucky Silver Dollars by KeithPetrower | 1 year ago |
| You did a great job on bass and drums, Keith. I'd love it you guys would post the lyrics. I like to read along, to get a sense of the poetry separate from the music and then see how they work in combination. Cool song! | |
| Simple Twist Of Fate by Dylan | 2 years ago |
| Beautiful performance, Dylan, very passionate. Bravo! | |
| Mrs. Dyers by Leesa | 2 years ago |
| Wonderful, character-filled vocals. So passionate. Stellar performance. | |
| Someone To Watch Over Me (Cover) George and Ira Gershwin by JodyG | 2 years ago |
| Gorgeous! Now that iComp is back, I'll get you the vocal asap. I didn't forget, just got busy. | |
| Time Traveler by Ignoramus | 2 years ago |
| I'd forgotten about the innapropriate collab thread and that I had suggested Mysti singing heavy metal. Imagine my surprise when I found out it actually happened. Myst, I would've loved a little thrashing from you -- totally let loose -- but the result of the collab is an interesting blend of your oohs and his raging guitars. It rather defies a label (metal ambiance?) and is a fascinating idea, this blending of styles into something totally new. Great work both of you! | |
| Misty (cover) by JodyG | 2 years ago |
Absolutely gorgeous! Man, I would LOVE to be able to play the piano like that. Beautiful arrangement, carressingly played. Bravo! |
|
| Two Sides by 8MonthMalfunction | 2 years ago |
| Great job on the collab! Nice driving beat, the song is propelled forward by the instruments, the vocals, etc. As others have said, dark. | |
| Strange Fruit by mbehar | 2 years ago |
I'm blown away. Was crusing around, clicking links and found myself here, and now I can listen to no others. This one is still playing in my soul. Fantastic performances from all three of you. And Rinca, oh Lordy, but that is a heartfelt performance. Amazing. I love the trumpet, too. Like the wails of the dead. Great job all of you. |
|
| When Tears Rain Down (a collaboration) by rcandrews | 2 years ago |
| Hey Rob! I forgot about this song but I'm glad I found it. You've really fattened up the production on this. Sounds great! I played a small roll but had a lot of fun. I'll happily re-record if you ever need it. | |
| Chicago Medley by Navbass | 2 years ago |
Absolutely amazing. That's one heckuva singer, too. Fantastic musical moment and I thank you for sharing it with us. |
|
| save the girl by that80sboy | 2 years ago |
| Love all the superhero references. Great song for comic geeks like me. | |
| The Stars Are Missing by NinaGiampaolo | 2 years ago |
| Wonderful song, Nina. Excellent vocals -- great pitch and the harmonies are right on the money. Be very proud of yourself! | |
| Aliens Are Dancing on the Milky Way by Joanna | 2 years ago |
| Thank you all for such great comments! bhar - I'm not familiar with the song to which you refer but I can say that this song is all loops plus vocals, so it's not surprising someone else chose the same loops. This was written in the summer of '04 three days after I discovered Garageband on my computer. I didn't even know there were music sites back then. I was just playing with new software and having fun singing into my pinhole mic. It's a very simple song - just a bass and a drum loop stretched the length with different drum loops dropped into the appropriate spots. |
|
| Christ and Pilate - Jesus Christ Superstar by icanzilb | 2 years ago |
| I am a huge fan of JCS and your Pilate is dead on! Fantastic, spirited performance. I truly enjoyed this. Left me with a big grin and yes, I sang along. Couldn't help myself. | |
| Twinkle Twinkle My Little Star by nealbowen | 2 years ago |
| Wow, what a gorgeous arrangement of this song. Absolutely beautiful. | |
| Beat the Devil by Joanna | 2 years ago |
| I posted this and wondered if my lyric search was off a bit -- perhaps the lyrics were under a weird title. So I went back and sure enough, I found the lyrics. I'm sorry I presented it as an improvisation when in fact there were some lyrics. I changed the intro and figured it was so late at night, no one would listen. I love being proved wrong! Thank you both, gentlemen, it's awfully nice of you to come here, listen, and leave a comment. | |
| Racial Harmony by rex | 2 years ago |
| This would be great music underplaying a scene of that outdoor market in a film. Very nice piece with lots of energy and movement. | |
| (Meet Me) Halfway (3rd pass) by aaront | 2 years ago |
| Fantastic song with amazing vocals. The production is great. This song really hangs together supported by your fantastic voice. | |
| Glimpses by ScottCarmichael | 2 years ago |
| This is gorgeous! Very professional sound, wonderful lyrics, great vocals and a really cohesive sound. This is dead center in the "wow this is good" scale. -- Joanna |
|
| I'm Going to Shangra-La by mfwmiles | 2 years ago |
| Very catchy song with an excellent chorus. Your vocals are quite good but it sounds like you buried them a bit in some sort of effect. Either that or you need a better mic. Still, the quality shines through. Great job! | |
| SIMPLE LIFE by wal4uJR | 2 years ago |
Love the vocals. She's fantastic! |
|
| Promo Teen by vegetal | 2 years ago |
| Good work, Veg! You should post the lyrics so we can follow along. Good job on the instruments -- very toe tapping! | |
| Another Ugly Day by Boris_the_Bull | 2 years ago |
Fantastic song! Has such a jaunty sound that belies the lyrics making it both intriguing and a lot of fun. Wonderful counterpoint. The vocals are terrific on this one; you really have such an appealing sound. Love it! |
|
| Rainy Day by mbehar | 2 years ago |
| I want to join my voice with Mori's and Ilya's thanking all of you for such wonderful comments. I also want to sing the praises of these two fine musicians for their talent and craft. This was a joyous project for me. | |
| MY FUNNY VALENTINE (Version 1) by Filmscorz | 2 years ago |
Beautiful production. Mary, fantastic, controlled vocals that weave beautifully through the jazz arrangement. I love this song; sing it around the house all the time. Thanks for doing such a stellar job, all of you! |
|
| WALKING MY GOD by Barretok | 2 years ago |
| I have to echo the rest -- great collab, guys! Very strong, original lyrics, Barr. | |
| A GLIMPSE OF YOUR EYE by Barretok | 3 years ago |
| Very interesting approach. The singsong voice over, stylized speech over gives it an exotic touch. Beautiful music. | |
| BARRETOK'S 113TH SMOKEY DREAM (Cough Mix) by Dylan | 3 years ago |
| This was a lot of fun! Great parody. Well done, gang! |
|
| How High the Moon by grathy | 3 years ago |
| This is great! Wow, that piano is soooo good. And Mary, love the laid-back vocals. Very smooth. Wonderful collaboration! | |
| Fable by Choirbox | 3 years ago |
| Lovely work, Choir. The vocals have an innocent quality that fits perfectly with the subject. | |
| SOMEWHERE IN MEXICO by Barretok | 3 years ago |
| Very moody, edgy piece, Barr - great job on this one! | |
| I didn't want to do it by lilichi | 3 years ago |
| Great job both of you - very interesting VO work, Lili, with or without a cold it worked very well. | |
| >Ballad of the Boo Hag by DavidBowles | 3 years ago |
Great job on this one, David! I love the lyrics -- written in authentic patois. Your performance fits the lyrics and musical bed beautifully. Wonderful work! |
|
| Blues 4 a New World-Collab. Time! by Filmscorz | 3 years ago |
Great job -- so much talent! Sweeet jazzy blues. |
|
| Damsel In Distress by Joanna | 3 years ago |
| Thank you so much, Barretok, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. | |
| Seven Men by Joanna | 3 years ago |
| Thank you, Barretok and David! It means a lot to me to hear such kiind words. | |
| Dance New York Away by JodyG | 3 years ago |
This is gorgeous! Love the orchestration, the brass, strings, piano -- beautiful. Sweet vocal, old-style jazz ballad. Wonderful! |
|
| Humblah by Euphoria | 3 years ago |
This is really cool. Love the concept and the execution. It's very engaging -- brings up lots of images with its rhythmic cadence and musical vocals. Great! |
|
| A Final Moment - Video by drakonis | 3 years ago |
Great job, Drak and Futz! A beautiful, serene blend of talents in this one. |
|
| When Monsters Want to Dance by Joanna | 3 years ago |
| Thank you everyone! To me, there's nothing quite as fun and freeing as writing a children's song. The kid in me easily shoves the adult aside. All hail the monsters! | |
| CHASE YOUR BLUES by wal4u | 3 years ago |
Fantastic job, Wal! What a talented family you have. Amazing. |
|
| Pirahna Beach by Baboon | 3 years ago |
Great job, guys! Baboon, those are some amazing vocals. Incredible range and great harmonies. The whole song is just too darn much fun. |
|
| The tSUNAMIS-Diamond Head by PiranhaLake | 3 years ago |
I have a soft spot for surf music and this hits the mark dead on. Fantastic! I'm thanking JD for his shout-out because that's how I found this. |
|
| Aching Heart Blues by Barretok | 3 years ago |
Plenty of talent showing on this track! Love those passionate vocals and driving instrumentals. |
|
| A Night In Tunisia by enicholsIC | 3 years ago |
Fantastic jazz, guys! Love the guitar in this. So cool. Great vocals, too. |
|
| Brother by Didier | 3 years ago |
I don't know who 40 is, so I can only comment on the song as a song. It deserves all the positives its gotten. Great sound, with unexpected and entertaining transitions all layered with fantastic vocals and harmonies. This is extremely well done. Whoever 40 is, he should be very proud to have a song this in tribute. |
|
| Wine Into Water by enicholsIC | 3 years ago |
| My gratitude to everyone who said such kind things about the vocals on this piece. And a special thank you to Ed and Paul for letting me hitch a ride on this journey of theirs. It was a real joy working with these two talented brothers. Their vision and muscianship shines in these songs, as you can hear. Thank you, Ed, Paul and iComp for a great experience. | |
| If our souls by n2groove | 3 years ago |
I love your vocals on this song. So much passion -- it's both affecting and infecting. I would only ask for less reverb. There is no reason on earth to hide that voice behind effects. Put it out there and let it shine; it's gorgeous. Beyond that, really like the lyrics and the rest of the soulful production. This is just a fantastic song and I thank JD for putting it in his shout-out so that I could be led here to enjoy it. |
|
| Autumn Song by makpiano88 | 3 years ago |
| I love jazz. You have a lot of talent. I've always wished I could play jazz piano. | |
| Look to the Horizon by itiswotitis | 3 years ago |
| I'll admit that I don't know a thing about the genre, so I can't really comment on that. But I do like vocals and I thought you did some nice things in there, Jo. Very powerful in the build. | |
| Straight To Hell by GumboStu | 3 years ago |
| Love it! I always love your voice, and it's fun to hear getting a little gravely. | |
| Straight Man In A Gay World by Dylan | 3 years ago |
Great production on this one. Wonderful performances from both of you. Now that's a trumpet! Loved the vocals. |
|
| Whiskey On The Rocks (piano and voice) by TessCrazy | 3 years ago |
| Lovely! Love the harmonies. You have a great voice and excellent pitch. | |
| Blomgren 472 (old version) by Ale | 3 years ago |
| Hejsan! This is a wonderful song, energetically and lovingly played by all involved. Loved it! | |
| Pulp-1-Lady Greystoke by DavidBowles | 3 years ago |
This is a wonderfully complex, well imagined piece of music. Love the blending of Tarzan's parentage with his eventual homeland. Great job! |
|
| The Greatest Show by Joanna | 3 years ago |
| Thank you, Julian, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm sad that I had to delete the file and start over because I had 3 comments on here. I took a screen grab, though, and want to thank colalucaenzo, teaks, and clausjordan for their remarks. Teaks alerted me to the problem with the original file, so a special thanks to him for letting me know that I forgot to trim the end. |
|
| The Ballad Of Alpo by Dylan | 3 years ago |
A wonderful piece of work by both of you. I love storytelling songs and this one carries on that wonderful tradition beautifully. Dylan, your vocals are mesmerizing -- fabulous job, full of pathos and grit. Fantastic! |
|
| Around The Rainforest by archie7777 | 3 years ago |
Love the jungle rhythms and primal soundscape. The etherial guitars are wonderful. |
|
| Yummy Universe with Kitty Cat Land on the side by pete | 3 years ago |
Love the pan flutes in this one. Great primitive feel. I felt like I was in the rainforest. |
|
| 9/11/01 by Balok | 3 years ago |
Intensely moving piece of music. I keep typing things and erasing them. I'm without words. What you said musically -- I agree. |
|
| Time by Joanna | 3 years ago |
| Thank you, nemo! Grazie, colalucaenzo! I'm grateful you stopped by. | |
| Time by Joanna | 3 years ago |
| Thank you so much Julian, compuguy and fromano! I really appreciate your taking the time to listen. Julian -- as always, you lift my spirits to the heights. compuguy -- if you're serious about adding viola, I've sent you a PM. I'd love it! fromano -- wow, thank you so much! That's an extremely high compliment. I'm honored. |
|
| What a Friend We Have In Jesus by TheTiler | 3 years ago |
So beautiful, Bill. I, too, remember this song from the days when I went to Sunday school and we'd all sing together. Well, I would belt out songs and my classmates would mumble, but I used to enjoy that part the best of all. Thank you for this gorgeously played reminder of a song many of us have known most of our lives. |
|
| Mister Robinson by Boris_the_Bull | 3 years ago |
One of my favorites of yours, Boris! Just had to revisit it. |
|
| Never Satisfied by Joanna | 3 years ago |
| Thank you all so much! I agree that the song could use a little more depth in the backing, which is why I added the background vocals. Granted, jazz piano or trumpet would be great but I don't play jazz piano and I don't want to overdo my fake trumpet (it's always something I think of, though) so this is it. I'm glad you were all able to enjoy it anyway! | |
| Since I Left Memphis by oldblueday | 3 years ago |
Great song! Put me in the camp that would like the vocals a little more up in the mix. Granted, I'm one of those people who just loves vocals, so I always like them to be clear and a focus of a song. Your guitar-playing is gorgeous. It's not that I want less of that, it's just that you have a nice voice. Trust yourself and your talent. Don't fear vocals, delight in them. |
|
| I Cut My Flocking Finger With a Knife by Joanna | 3 years ago |
| Yes, I hear most of iComp hates to be told a song is enjoyable! JD, you are such a kind man for dropping by. I appreciate you more than you'll ever know. | |
| I Cut My Flocking Finger With a Knife by Joanna | 3 years ago |
| Thanks for dropping by, Ponkey! Yes, it's always a pain-in-the-finger to weild a knife poorly and poor musicians have it the worst. Luckily, I'm just a flocking singer. | |
| Little Girl by Geechi3 | 3 years ago |
Really nice vocals, you have a clear, beautiful voice. I have more than one "two loop" songs, bass and drums, just as you did. It's easy to sing jazz to a minimal soundscape. I like the harmonies you threw in, nicely placed. Very good song! |
|
| Being Poor by Joanna | 3 years ago |
| I have to agree with you. Quite strange. | |
| Rosin the Bow by Joanna | 3 years ago |
| Thank you all for commenting! Bob, not live in the sense of performing anywhere other than my living room. I was feeding it through a vocalizer workstation, which gave me the reverb (reverb that should never have been turned to max, but it was a new piece of equipment and I thought at the time that reverb was the best thing ever! I've since learned to calm down, after playing with Garageband). All the harmonies are my voice, also via the workstation. However, I do have to admit that sound engineering isn't my strong suit, so you did get that right. I just like to sing. And JD - I've done "fake rock song" before (I hesitate to post it) and I'll be the first to admit, not really good at it. I can belt, but it comes out much more Broadway than anything else. |
|
| Sweet little daughter of mine - NYC mix by ORANGEAUDIO | 3 years ago |
Gorgeous song! Your vocalist is amazing -- I could listen to her all day. Beautiful tone to her voice. The entire production is fantastic from the exceptional cellist to the theme. Wonderful work, OA. |
|
| Son of beast... (Woody's) by lilichi | 3 years ago |
| Lovely voice, Lili, and great job on the musical bed, Woody. This is a haunting piece, wonderfully performed by both of you. | |
