Jim Aitken is relatively "late to the table" as someone who writes his own lyrics and accompanying music. His Songs are brought to life by Select and Great Artists! "The Promise", won "The Muse Songwriters" monthly Lyric Competition and achieved Finalist. In the UKSC! The Lyric, "Sunset" was also Finalist in the UKSC! It has still to be Recorded and Released! Other songs have achieved Semi Finalist status over the last two years. Jim leans towards songs with a story! E.g. Leonard Cohen and Gordon Lightfoot). Tim Patterson, on Broadjam, brings the (more Country Style) songs to life! "Reach The Sky", "My Last Farewell",  "One Night Stand" and, “I See Her Dancing”!   Kimberley Dunn elevates the songs, "The Promise", "Drift Away" and "One Night Stand" so beautifully! "Covid started a Journey Jim wishes to continue"

Hey Jim--- once again my page will not let me "reply" to comments so this fresh comment is a reply to yours....
Thanks for the kind words -- I appreciate your recognition of "real" instruments - I have a digital keyboard to get piano and organ sounds otherwise everything is real, and played and sung by me, except on a few songs where I give credit to other players... I listened to your Drift Away-- I think I like it best so far... believe it or not the first thing that struck me was how perfectly the tempo was selected... the vocal melody more staccato and complex than your other stuff, and the vocal arrangement is beautiful. As far as One Night Stand I already reviewed that in the Review process a couple weeks ago so I remember it, nice song as well. Keep up the good work!

Hi Jim-

Listened to "Promise" "Dancing" and "Jane"... your style is very emotional and the soundscapes support the feeling.... good stuff.. very relatable... good hook on "Dancing". Keep creating!

Hey Jim-- I got your nice comment but for some reason I cannot "reply" to comments-- they don't go through.... So I am writing you a fresh comment to say "Thanks" and that I will listen to those songs of yours you suggest.... If you want to get more of what I feel is my clever side listen to Suzie Make A Choice and Scornflakes...... All the best to you!
