| Lion of Fire by Narananda | 7 days ago |
| My god, the picture is a lion of fire! Ingenious! As instructed I played loud and let the sound resonate in my body. It was a transforming experience. This song is wilder than most, with trumpet and jazz elements literally exploding across the sound stage. In fact, this is stupendous Harald. I am amazed and overwhelmed. Clearly lots of care and effort was put into this song. The detail is amazing. Absolutely amazing! | |
| Frogs by Narananda | 7 days ago |
| WOW - these are no ordinary frogs. They kick amphibian butt. As I listen closely I hear the frog calls in the background - ingenious! This song is POWERFUL, unabashed music, completely dominating me with kaleidoscopic musical riffs. The change-up about half way through is nice, with its emphasis on the higher notes - and bird calls! But still, the scream of the frog carries the theme. They of the incredible throats. Harald, this is very creative and enjoyable! | |
| LOVE - Duet with Anne and Stan by toveco | 1 month ago |
 What a great journey of a song. Tommy, way to start a song and be persistent! And Stan, an absolutely classic from you! Anne, oh how sweetly you sing! This is one of the best collaborations I have heard yet and each of you are to be commended for making it happen!! |

| Before the Rain by videoscore | 1 month ago |
| duh, zero latency mode was causing distortion in the DAC - solved | |
| Before the Rain by videoscore | 1 month ago |
| @RazbaqueDirge thank goodness it is not the synth - plugging headphones directly to the keyboard jack gives superb sound. It must be between the keyboard and the output of the DAC. It sure better not be the DAC - a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24. Yeah it's a lower cost model but these things are darned expensive - and all the reviews were very positive. I'm betting on the optical cable. Hopefully.... thanks again so much! | |
| Before the Rain by videoscore | 1 month ago |
| @ihussain thanks so much for the perceptive comments! @RazbaqueDirge ahh, thank you for listening closely. I hear it too. It must be clipping, I'll fix that in the mix. @SoulSurvivor Hi Lenny, thanks for listening! @toveco Tommy thank you for the lovely words!! @lp sharp ears too - do you have earbuds or real headphones? Regardless, thank you and thanks for the comment. Yes, rain can be a real joy, especially during times of drought. @pharmakeus thanks Chris - love your incise choice of words as usual  |

| Locomotive Breath by Vixen | 1 month ago |
This is always the high point in a Tull concert - riveting! Your performance here gives me chills, holy cow! Vicki, great lower vocal range! Paul et al fantastic backing instrumentals! |

| Storm Chaser by videoscore | 2 months ago |
| @Narananda Thank you Harald. And you are right about personal demons. @Lagusaya2 Thanks Stan! Yes, the climate is going wild. Could make good pictures though  @KennethLavrsen Thank you sir! I am glad you liked the weather radio part! @ihussain thanks so much for the comments and for listening! @soulima thank you for your critique! I was concerned the melody would get swallowed up! @SoulSurvivor Lenny, do I sense a collaboration coming or what?!? YESS!!! I too wanted heart-pounding rhythm but failed to achieve that. @livelargemusic I am absolutely delighted that you like this song!!! Thank you! |
|
| The Lot by livelargemusic | 2 months ago |
| Wow. VERY impressive! Yes, the lyrics are clever and powerful and the melody is catchy and well-played. Vocals are spot-on. Love the rough guitar and simplicity of the construction - powerful indeed! |
|
| No to gravity by AdamStolterman | 2 months ago |
heh heh, this is a very fun song indeed. VERY well done imo. Lovely vocals, very catchy melody and clever lyrics. A great listen - thanks! |
|
| Eden by toveco | 2 months ago |
Emotive and truly moving, with the minor chords. The strings weep and the piano sings. A classical masterpiece in many ways. The change in melody near 3/4 of the way through brings a sense of triumph and joy, which ends the song on a happy note. Amazing. Great job you two! |
|
| A State Of Trance by ShadowofNine | 2 months ago |
| Wildly delightful beginning spins with energy and emotion, lovely arrangement of various synths set to a driving beat. Oh oh, here come da bass, things are starting to ROCK. Great percussion and absolutely crazy e guitar - yet it still retains the flavor and pace of the initial theme, with which it draws to a perfect close. An amazing example of serendipity (and a lot of skill) in music! | |
| In Chinatown by pharmakeus | 2 months ago |
| I really like the progression of the melody on this, cleverly broken by loud distortion guitar and augmented by sweet e guitar. A heartfelt piece, good arrangement and build, with piercing lyrics. This is a powerful song. | |
| Emmanuelle's Perfume by thsantac | 2 months ago |
Truly sensuous and heartfelt. Lovely piano, and later guitar, bring sharper definition to the soft flow - a perfect touch. The variety of instruments is astounding yet it all flows with a common theme. Yes, music to make love by! |
|
| Beauty in the Lake by LaFayette | 2 months ago |
Truly delightful guitars at the beginning create an easy atmosphere that lasts through the entire song. The drums are spot-on. The rhythm and the melody are very catchy, very dreamy. This is an amazing piece - I am in awe. |
|
| Then, the Forest Tree Will Sing /Iraq, 19th century by ShadowofNine | 2 months ago |
| Dave this is an incredible display of musical versatility. The rhythmic backing for this is restrained yet potent, just waiting for opportunity to solo and when it does the result is perfect. Totally integrated, like a live recording. The song is haunting and beautiful. I am blown away. Totally. | |
| The Courtship by ihussain | 2 months ago |
Absolutely charming! The keys are so delicate, so light and so pretty. The build with plucked strings is so gentle - I really like that. The build to strings and keys and the climactic ending are wonderful. As usual it makes me smile. |
|
| Tidal Flow by videoscore | 2 months ago |
| @toveco thanks Tommy!! @SoulSurvivor - Lenny, you have described the concept perfectly. Thank you for your comments! @Bowman yes Charlie, I had some weird percussion in this one - getting more exploratory... Thanks! @k6 Thank you Jere! @thsantac Thank you for the beautiful comment! @ihussain Thanks so much for the compliments. Yes, a bit of industrial up front in this one. The mechanism of the world... @pharmakeus Thanks Chris. Cosmic connectivity? @ShawdowofNine Dave, thank you! Yes, this is a bit broader than my usual scope. @Patrizia Estoy muy agradecido por su hermoso cumplido! |
|
| Wondrous Love by DennyCicak | 2 months ago |
Denny!! A Masterpiece! I love the minor chords - this is truly beautiful, I can see why you decided to build upon it. It gets more delicate with nice runs as it progresses - morphing into a work with more fluid movement, fuller with added instrumentation. The counterpoint change up in the middle is fascinating! Nice rhythm and melody. The wah synths and bells are a fascinating combination, again with pleasing counterpoint arrangement. Choice of instruments is great in all parts of the song. The end, with traditional instruments is simply beautiful, a dance of all the participants in a grand finale. Excellent! |
|
| Simple Pleasures: Take 2 by Bowman | 2 months ago |
| Charlie, first, I love your description and your artwork. It sets the stage very well (not having heard the first version). The flute indeed sets a memorable melody to the piece. Playful, joyful yet it gracefully demurs as the other melodies appear, for instance the strings and woodwinds. The end, with a nice rhythm building, is delicious but I wish it didn't cut quite so abruptly - it was just starting to catch my fancy Charlie, EXCELLENT! |
|
| Life's Sweet Melody by PaulWilkins | 2 months ago |
| Wow. From the very first notes I am swept away, charmed, enchanted. So delicate, with such a fine build into a dance of epic proportions. Then release into a beautiful conclusion. Truly, truly impressive! | |
| Escape From Here by thsantac | 2 months ago |
A beginning full of charm and mystery that builds nicely into a darkly classical piece. The rhythmic change is perfectly timed, a twist in the plot that adds much. The vocal-like part is truly stunning and spine-tingling. Gripping is the word! Then release into a lighter world with a very nice ending. VERY IMPRESSIVE!!! |
|
| Melusine by Narananda | 2 months ago |
| Beautiful choice of initial instruments - bagpipe with synth overtones. A soaring melody, an Irish or Scottish lilt at times. Very uplifting. The middle bridge is very dramatic with the intense bass, yet pleasing, presaging the magic to come. And magic it is. A truly joyful ending, I feel like standing up and cheering!!! | |
| Walk With Me by ihussain | 2 months ago |
Delightful, absolutely delightful! I love the major/minor changes, the soft rhythm, the touch of bells. The builds are continuous and continuously amazing. This is an absolute classic - one of your best! |
|
| Song for Japan by DennyCicak | 3 months ago |
DENNY! THIS CHILLS ME TO THE BONE! Heavenly vocals! I love the Eastern touch to the music, the simplicity of the theme. Production is excellent. I am mesmerized. Amazed. In awe. WHERE have you been hiding this gem? |
|
| Two Worlds - Original by LilyBrooke | 4 months ago |
Yes, you have a LOT of promise! I LOVE your voice, your songs, your precocious talent. I am SO impressed. I would love to see you collaborate with some of the talent here too - ask anyone what instrument or talent you need, they can help direct you. Or just put out a song for collaboration. That would be a great experience and you would love it. This is an exceptional community. Welcome! Tim |
|
| Lumen Divinus by Arbori | 4 months ago |
| Deep and thoughtful strings, telling a tale of mystery, of darkness - and of light. And of life. It touches me gently and I find peace and beauty, visions and light, especially in the upper notes near the end. Beautiful, Christopher! | |
| Syria by Narananda | 4 months ago |
| Stunning beginning, ominous, multidimensional; truly emoting. I am swept into a whirlwind of Middle East violence, a hurricane. The gradual change to orchestral is beautifully sad and the timpani at the end, an ingenious touch Harold, leaves me somber and pensive and slightly quaking. You have touched hearts with the piece. Journalism is one of the most dangerous jobs if one seeks to uncover the awful truth. Pakistan is the leading example, unfortunately. But (real) journalists, to me, are the true heroes in this world, risking their lives to keep it free. No other profession even comes close. | |
| JESSICA by jibes | 4 months ago |
I can't get this tune out of my head it is so good! Besides the catchy melody and chord progression, the delivery is superb, the guitar is very special and the vocals perfect. A nice find tonight! |
|
| Lovers "House Of Flying Daggers" by Deebeesea | 4 months ago |
Oh my. Oh this is STUNNING! I have chills. I am stilled. In awe. Time has passed so much has changed... Oh the instrumental swell in the middle takes me away! A pretty ending - just cut a tad short for the last reverb to die away. Amazing. I am just sitting here stupefied. Thank you for a wonderful beginning of my day! |
|
| MIRROR IN THE SKY by Lagusaya2 | 4 months ago |
WHAT? This is a fascinating and charming piece, I can even hear children singing along. Stan, it has your signature writing talent written all over this. Most enjoyable! |
|
| Orchestral Party Mix by PaulWilkins | 4 months ago |
| Absolutely stunning, right out of the gate. And then, seemingly impossible, it builds from there. The vocals really add to that build. The intermediate electronic break is timed perfectly, allowing the transition to fascinating variations. Again the vocals are so powerful, especially combined with the strings near the end. Truly an outstanding work of art! Nice ending too! | |
| Saxo Dream by LaFayette | 4 months ago |
Immediately I love this, the rhythm is catchy and bouncy and the melody most charming. The guitar strumming adds to this rhythm so well. Vocals are wonderful! And the sax, holy cow, that is SO FREAKIN REAL! And it carries a such magical tune. It is a duet between sax and Mary, and a wonderful one at that. |
|
| OuterWorlds: THE LAST DAY by Bowman | 4 months ago |
| Brooding and dark, it sweeps across me as a thundering chill. But then I hear the plaintive cry of hope, sweetness in the strings; yes its the strings that bring this feeling. What a powerful composition Charlie. I am blown away. I love the ending too! | |
| Lay Down [Demo Mix] by pharmakeus | 4 months ago |
| Wild exploration of enchanting sounds punctuated by trumpet, sax and synth melodies. Truly amazing mix! I love the guitar, it is simply perfect: it both compliments the wildness yet tames it, somehow. An amazing song! Ooh, just a little longer on the final cutoff - the reverb is still fading, I would just let it go a few more seconds. | |
| TOYRGITES by toveco | 4 months ago |
Tommy you rock, no question. A VERY catchy melody, well executed and arranged. It has a tropical flavor, such a liveliness, it is a dance, and I am transported to another place. No airline ticket needed. This is SERIOUSLY good Tommy! |
|
| Another You, Another Me by ihussain | 4 months ago |
From the beginning, as usual, I am charmed and swept away into your world. The instrumentation is impeccable, oboe and strings compliment the keys so perfectly. All tied together with a neat ending. I love it. The bittersweet doesn't come to me, perhaps because the pace is lively. A sweet song! |
|
| Losing America by videoscore | 4 months ago |
| @toveco Tommy, thank you. You are right on. @TvRicky Your sense of hope is what keeps the country going, yet we need to be vigilant. Freedom isn't free. @SoulSurvivor thank you Lenny. My fears are like yours but I believe the good in the world will eventually overcome that rain. @ShadowofNine Dave, wow thanks! Yes, strings are from the new Korg. I will PM you. @Bowman Charlie, those are beautiful words, thank you so much! @StevenJackson ahh we speak the same language: music. It is what binds the world into a loving entity. Thank you! @PaulWilkins first, thank you for listening, for the compliment and most of all for the detailed comment. You are SPOT ON. Individuals cannot yell loud enough. But it starts with one person, then another, then the shout spreads to ten others and soon it is heard. I try to express my serious concerns to others, to spread the news, to gather hope. A lonely voice at first but we all must start with one person, ourselves. |

| Teresa's Song (Revisited on Kawai EX) by SoulSurvivor | 4 months ago |
This is the sweetest song, the most powerful dedication I have ever heard. I love it so much it brings tears to my eyes every time. So lovely, so lovely... |
|
| The Magic Of Christmas Night by Arbori | 5 months ago |
| Christopher, such a wonderful gift! Jingle bells give it a great start and it builds nicely. It has a big sound, very regal and majestic. It also builds nice visions. Speaking of which, your cover art is superb as always! Merry Christmas to you and your family and friends! | |
| Broken (Not Too Late) by pharmakeus | 5 months ago |
| Thanks Chris, marvelous gift. You know, your vocals get better and better and they really shine here. Good bass tones emerging in your lower registry! Overall, really soulful, sung soulfully with such touching feelings. Take care and have a great holiday. See you next year for sure! | |
| I Don't Want to be Here by Vixen | 5 months ago |
A total knock-yer-socks off song, Vicki. POWERFUL lyrics, man have you ever excelled at that! And the melody and delivery are absolutely stunning. The backing music is breathtakingly beautiful, no wonder you were inspired. Overall outstanding on all counts. Still reverberating in my head.... PS lyric writing is such an individual art - I have to hear the words leap from the harmony, I could never start from scratch like this. Very cool, Vicki! |
|
| Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs - cover by ihussain | 5 months ago |
Your taste is, of course, excellent! This is a superb piece, classy with excellent arrangement. The piano is stellar, really pulls out the melody! It really shines when the vocals enter near the end - overall a very engaging and lively tune! |
|
| TEACHER TEACHER by Lagusaya2 | 5 months ago |
Wow Stan. This is pretty heavy, kind of like Alice Cooper's School's Out Forever.. Seriously though, this demonstrates your breadth very well! I give you high marks in all categories, very creative! Probably it was the birds and bees that nixed you, arguably one of the most important things we can teach.And Tommy, excellent mixing! |
|
| We Walk Together (ver 2) by videoscore | 5 months ago |
| @Lagusaya2 thanks so much Stan, and I hope to do some collabs again soon @Silky Yes, you are spot on - very astute! It is a result of my original haste but that polish is needed. Just have to get the fingers (and brain) a bit more nimble for another go. This is precisely the type of feedback I desire! THANKS!!! |
|
| Desire by thsantac | 5 months ago |
Dark and fearful wonderfully overlaid on joy and mystery. That is quite an accomplishment! I love the evolution of this piece - it virtually explodes with emotion at each turn, yet the transitions are gentle and sensible. It would be perfect for film! I am putting a copy into my list of great music for inspired listening. In a constructive sense, I could imagine combining one or two of the themes and developing them into a separate song, with memorable emphasis and growth of the major theme. As it is, however, it makes for very pleasant inspirational listening. Excellent work!! |

| SnowFlakes by jkane | 5 months ago |
| Absolutely lovely! It is like you two wrote it together as one. | |
| Glory Day by Arbori | 5 months ago |
| Christopher, this is regal and sensitive, a wonderful piece! It brings visions of a slow-moving pageant, winding through the streets of an ancient royal city. It speaks of grandeur, though muted and respectful. It speaks of honor and majesty. It is soothing and mysterious. Thank you so much for your gift, Christopher. It truly touches my heart!! PS His wife Kathy just heard it and was deeply touched. She and I both think it is truly wonderful and we are so grateful for your gift! We will play it at his memorial. |

| TRANSITION by SoulSurvivor | 5 months ago |
Oh, LENNY!! You cannot know how happy I was to see this! This work has a fantastic build, to unbearable tension: I explode when the guitar melody hits Mach 1. The drums are perfect, they are creative and strong and I feel your inner force through them. The transitions are subtle yet powerful, with zero disconnect, like breaking the speed of sound without pitching turbulence - you find yourself suddenly supersonic. The end is a perfect plug-pull, matching the attitude of the song. The entirety is exciting and beautiful, really marvelous! Lenny! YESS! Welcome back!!!! |
|
| Teresa's Song by SoulSurvivor | 6 months ago |
| Lenny, why do these things have to happen in life? I feel SO bad. But your ability to endure is remarkable. The thoughts and prayers of all of your friends at iCompositions are with you, my brother. I will write to you later. Tim |

| Midnight Child by RubyDubidoux | 6 months ago |
| For the record, Stan tossed the basic melody and the first lyrics to me and challenged me to return with the next lyrics and a nice bridge. Well, I got as far as lyrics but then got totally derailed by my ongoing family health crisis. Stan, you are the master song writer - a natural - and I feel bad I had to drop the ball. And Tommy, you are the master at mastering. Finally, Elaine, WOW, your lower register is AWESOME, just blew me away. You have talent girl!!! WooHoo! Thanks everyone for your kind comments! | |
| Come, little children - vocal version by ihussain | 6 months ago |
Oh it is everything I had hoped, based on the original instrumental. Lovely, seriously lovely vocals!!! Excellent job all of you. You picked the right person for the instrumental, Axel!! |
|
| Come, little children - instr. - HOCUS POCUS by ihussain | 6 months ago |
From the first note I loved this piece. A charming dance, a mystical journey, a story exquisitely told. The melody is so lovely and your orchestration is astounding. The choral interlude is particularly magical. I feel as if I have been transformed, into a child perhaps, surrounded by all the magic I once knew but now have forgotten. |
|
| I'll Spread Sail of Silver by ihussain | 6 months ago |
Oh I just love this style, you have created an UTTERLY CHARMING masterpiece. The melody is deeply inspired. The emotion of joy is wonderfully captured. The orchestration is exquisite, detailed and so carefully done. You have a real knack for the creation of exceptional music and this is no exception!!! |

| Jordan River by pharmakeus | 7 months ago |
| Crisp piano is a beautiful basis for the Hawaiian guitar. Stirring chord changes reach deep inside. Jeez Chris, you have really outdone yourself on the lyrics, SERIOUSLY inspired, with a message to tell and a story that needs telling. Sung with equal conviction, this is a vocal coup. Thanks for the discussion of the lyrics you provided in the comments too - as always I hope to get a glimpse of what inspired you. All in all a powerful song, well written, wonderfully played by both of you!!! | |
| The Atractive by vegetal | 7 months ago |

| The Lady of Shalott by ihussain | 7 months ago |
Oh another charming piece, absolutely gorgeous! It has a sense of joy to it as it builds and then gently morphs. Each verse, another layer of joy. Thank you! |
|
| Thank you Steve by Narananda | 7 months ago |
| The drive, the reduction of the abstract to practice, the amazing merger of structure and style, these attributes of Steve's are all here in this song Harald. The flute portion over the synth gives me chills before I am cast off into the truly regal tribute to a man who so deeply influenced the modern world, not with war, but with ideas. | |
| Sorrowful Sun by Bowman | 7 months ago |
What are words indeed. The song, with the photograph, is such a powerful message. I am bolt upright with astonishment. The rhythm, marches like a juggernaut while the world spins around it - and it takes on a life of its own. If feels like the conquest of my soul. Nothing less. |
|
| Cry With No Tears (Remixed) by toveco | 7 months ago |
Stan, such a classic! You breathe music - seriously! Songs like this, which you write with ease, are so charming and this is no exception. Tommy, you are getting SERIOUSLY good! I love the ambiance, the sense of space, the perfect balance. LOVELY!! |

| Winter Sunrise by wakegirlsarah | 7 months ago |
| Sarah, to me your voice is the essence of sunrise - gentle and sweet, warm and lovely. You have added immensely to the feeling of the song, truly making it blossom. It's as if it has always been waiting just for you. As do so many more! |
|
| The Stargazer by videoscore | 8 months ago |
| @jennjeff1 Oops, you are right. It is indeed the correct song but the tag information is incorrect ("Wander" was the temporary name I used while writing it). Unfortunately, I can't change it here without also deleting all the comments, which are an important part of the song's history. However, it can be changed with most music apps. Thank you very much for letting me know and for your gracious comments! | |

| We Walk Together (ver 1) by videoscore | 9 months ago |
| @Proliferousrose thank you for your kind words and thoughts - you sense equivocation in the meaning of this song and you are right. @SoulSurvivor Lenny my brother, thank you. We have much to discuss. @ronysib Thank you for your compliment AND your comment. I too am dissatisfied with my strings (well, it's an 11 year old Korg, what do I expect) and am overhauling my equipment. Your comment will help me convince my wife I need to spend the money @lp yes, you know the fragility well, thank you for understanding @pharmakeus Thank you Chris, as usual I love your precisely articulated commentary. Pensive, definitely. Alluring.... yes. That too. But in a sad way. Thanks so much for listening. |

| Bain de Minuit (Midnight Swim) by LaFayette | 9 months ago |
Simple piano leads to as SWEET lush guitar, set to a really pretty beat. Oh, I like how this is evolving. Oh jeez. This song is simply beautiful. Well composed with surprisingly beautiful chord changes, well arranged in elegant simplicity. A keeper. I aspire to this. |
|
| Cordelia by pharmakeus | 9 months ago |
| Haunting musical beginning... even more haunting lyrics that evolve in an unexpected way, but the chorus brings a measure of peace. Chris, I am shaking my head in wonder. These lyrics are like strange visions, beyond dreams. You are good. Real good. | |
| Every Second Counts by ihussain | 9 months ago |
Oh how I love the chord changes, the tempo and instrumental mix. The string section/guitar bridge is outstanding! The following short synth addition is a signature detail for you, excellent. The last part with strings and flute brings SUCH joy! This is another classic - I am a dedicated fan! |
|
| Requiem in Red by videoscore | 9 months ago |
| @carlajpatterson thanks Carla, yes, uncomfortably deep @Trevs Thank you! Sending a chill is just what I like to hear! @toveco Tommy, you are a true friend, you make writing music a joy. @JackFancy Thanks for the listen!! @pharmakeus Thanks Chris! @SoulSurvivor Lenny, what a wonderful comment. As to the epiphany, well, we'll talk later @lp Thanks for your patience as I wandered through various versions @AndyDee - I always love to hear from you, thank you! @ihussain - Thanks for the compliments, and your thoughts on the title and image! You are SPOT ON about The Village. That thought crossed my mind after finishing the artwork. More importantly, we share the love of its music: it hit me right in the heart, more than just about any other movie I've ever seen - and added so much to the growing love scenes with the blind girl. |

| Good Enough Man-Demo by LunaBleu | 9 months ago |
Well I'll be darned. This is sweet all by itself! Jeez I wished I could play blues at all, I'd go for it. Along with the guitar, you need drums, bass and, hmmm, a touch of bluesy organ. The last maybe I could handle - maybe But this is really, really good! |
|
| Pales Blues by Deebeesea | 9 months ago |
This is stunning. Tommy, what a performance! And Diane, beautiful vocals, delicate intonation and an all-around heartfelt performance. Wonderful collaboration you two!! Hope there will be more! |
|
| Heart Lights by LaFayette | 9 months ago |
Otherworldly charm, with a guitar that absolutely sings and a sinuous background rhythm that weaves a together the perfect harmony. The change up in the middle caught me a little by surprise (my heart rate went to 53) but I rapidly embraced it and watched it evolve nicely on its own, and then it became the song again. Magic. You know, your compositions and arrangements are truly first rate. Just stunning! Thanks for sharing! |
|
| Come what may by ihussain | 9 months ago |
How interesting. That was exactly the name I had chosen for a song I eventually called Follow the River (same sentiment, standing strong, moving forward, facing destiny). I feel this sentiment in your song. It has joy yet strength. There is no equivocation. None. It moves with a deliberate yet gentle strength. Joy, yet determination. Beautiful. |

|
| The Sweet Land by Bowman | 9 months ago |
I really like the chord progressions with the rhythmic melody at the beginning. It engenders visions. Vast, nomadic, the ancient heartbeat of the world, wonders never before seen. My GOD, this is perfect for a GOOD movie (no crappy stuff) or a documentary that will raise goosebumps. Charlie, I am really impressed, this is totally from the heart, deep within you, I can feel it. It is inspired. And so too am I. Any way I can get a copy (that will never leave my hands)? Trade ya - if I have anything that comes close. BTW you should enter this in a competition. I have one in mind. PM me. |

| Chris, this is unbelievable! The bass/percussion combination is so driving, the guitar spot-on, the vocals tremendous and the e-guitar simply blows me away. And yet I have said nothing about the song. This to me is one of those explosive gifts where it all comes together, the music - and especially the lyrics! (where did THOSE come from??), the arrangement and the performance - into an inspired creation that is like no other. To say I am rattled is an understatement. This is phenomenal, WAY up there!! I bow in amazement. Fantastic job! | |

Oh the piano just pours forth all the emotion in the world, blessed with otherworldly strings. Marc! And then Vicki, oh the perfect entrance, letting the instrumental build to the breaking point, you leave me shattered with unbelievably powerful vocals. I am melted. Shaken to the core. The light touch of piano at the end has finished me. |

| @Vixen Vicki I don't think you will ever run out of lyrics - or music. BTW some data can be recovered from a hard drive crash... | |

OH I AM BLOWN AWAY!ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY BLOWN AWAY BLOWN AWAY!!!! Starting with Gepo's out-STANDING guitar instrumental (LOVELY-LOVELY!), Vicki you added on the sweetest melody I have heard in years. The lyrics are so sweet, absolutely endearing. Vicki and Gepo, this is potentially huge if others in this world love it as much as I do. It has a wonderful folk, vintage 10,0000 maniacal sound. My head is spinning and I feel wonderful. Thanks for a great start to my day! |

| Wildly energetic and quite creative. The tannic acid structure you use for cover art caught my eye! | |

| So soothing, so tropical, so laid back. Touching, absolutely touching lyrics! Elaine, you add the perfect touch, like a beautiful bird singing in the Jacaranda. Tommy, a genius! John, lovely touch on that piano! And Stan, you are the man. It brought tears to my eyes. | |

| Elaine's voice over the cool rustic guitar/banjo is a wonderful contrast. The e-guitar parts are choice. The minor chords give it a beautiful folksy feel and the lyrics are heart-touching. Elaine and Chris: beautiful! You should do more songs together. | |
| Singing in the Rain by RubyDubidoux | 10 months ago |
| Oh my, I can really see you dancing and singing in the rain Elaine! Seriously! You gotta make a video. Your vocals are soft with perfect intonation and there is a beautiful element of joy in your voice. I think you must have been smiling while singing! | |

Powerful lyrics, cutting to the bone! Stan, this is REALLY good! Very inspired, sort of different style than what you have done before, e-guitar etc. Your vocal range is great on this one. In fact this whole darn song is great! Export it and start a revolution!! |

| Serenade XIXC by Narananda | 10 months ago |
| Like a summer sunrise, it radiates warmth and promise. Rich orchestration, yet simple and soothing. Ahh, the change, the sun has now risen and the day has begun. Like a movie soundtrack I await what turn of events will come, there is a chill in the air. I look around, surrounded suddenly by a world in all its glory, all its humanity. The lives, the stories lived and told. The percussion announces armies in the distance, smoke from their cannons. Harald, this is a multifaceted wonder! | |

Its been a long time John - and I've really missed your music! This is so beautiful - pure and sweet with a touch of melancholy. The simplicity is charming: a guitar, a gentle voice, touching lyrics and a beautiful way to start my morning. Lovely! |
