What an absolutely wonderful song. Such excellent
writing, performed with such remarkable talent. I'm really
blown away by your music.

That said, what's it going to take for me to convince you
to PUT YOUR NAME ON IT (real or stage)? You're not the
only person here who leaves all the tags blank on their
song files, but you age one of the only ones who does that
AND makes music that is sure to get passed around on
the net by adoring fans, fans who will not know who the
artist is because the mp3 they got from a friend or
elsewhere (not directly from your page) had no artist info
in the tags.

So there, I'll not bring it up again. Do as you please. So
long as you keep making the great music.

Excellent lyrics. Great song, great writing. You are the
quintessential poet singer-songwriter, a marvel. Some
technical critiques of the recording: It seems like you keep
the hold pedal down, creating strange sustains, especially
in the first verse (or perhaps it is a second part of lower
notes played in syncopation?); and the piano reverb is
capturing a ringing I'd prefer to not hear. After your
repeat, when I think you are playing a brush cymbal on
the left side, or something that is ringing, I'm not sure
what you want to do with this, but it was like a ghost
whispering in my ear, both fascinating and annoying.
When you come out with your album, and I hope you do, I
think you should play a duet with a cellist, who enters
near the middle-end, plays a solo, and plays out with you.
and cut the cymbal. a marvelous song.

Very nice singing and production, it lulls you along on a
nice melodic ride. I reckon you could maybe add a few
more subtle embellishments half way through, may be a
subtle orchestral part low in the mix. Anyway it sounds
great - well done!

very nice song! ... all aspects good except for hum in
background ... i agree it needs some sort of instrument to
add towards end ... i like piano changes in middle verse
well in the extreme ... nice variation ...

Great song content. That hum seems to be the held notes
from the Electric Piano. Sounds like sometimes the Sustain
Pedal was held too long after you played a different chord.

Like the tune.

You have a very fine voice here.

The music backs up your voice just perfect.

This is very special tune. Like that ending too.

Very pleasant to listen to jonx.

Good going . . .

let me know when your demo/album is ready. I could
listen to you all day. I just don't know what else to say.

MJ's greatest strength compared to other sites is that it
encourages musicians to criticise each other's music. I've
learned a lot, personally. But I've yet to find anything to
say about your work which would be any use at all to
improving any of your songs. When you create such
strong songs, even minor imperfections seem to become
part of them. So sorry, nothing to say but congratulations.
You arrived here so well-formed, I'm not sure what good
our feedback does you... but it's great that you can share
these tracks.

So little is needed to make a great song. Simple and plain played with a subtle vocal on top. Just beautiful. Good mood and good production. Its honest and professional as well not to over-arrange this piece of music with drums and more instruments.

[ Reply to This ]

Really very beautiful. Nothing more to say, you've said it
all.

[ Reply to This ]

another great tune. you can slow down now.
glad you arrived here at macjams!

and please start putting your name on your tunes so i
don't have to read any more rants from pgreenstone!

And beautifully done.

Sounds like it would be right at home on his setlist! Loved
this haunting ditty.

totally blown away.
i have to say this everytime i post my comments
to your songs, but i really really love your voice
and your vocal style.
i just wish that i can watch you performing live
one of these days.

[ Reply to This ]

By far the best artist I have heard on Macjams - sorry everyone else, but apparently we all have work to do. Seriously, beautiful vocals man, just perfect for my ears.

[ Reply to This ]

There is a consistant quality to your work that... 1st I don't want to
listen to anything else when I'm done listening to you... but I also want
to go turn my equipment on, because you make this sound easier than
it really is...

Good Lord, this is a beautiful song.
