Hi Matt - Cheers for you review of my "The is the Right Time". Still some work to do pulling the draft together I see. :-) Cheers mate. Keith
Hi Jo - Thanks very much for you review of Beating Wings of Her Angel - much appreciated. Kind regards Keith
Hi Keith - hope it was OK. i am a new user and this was my first review but it is a fun thing listening to lots of different songwriters music. You can get your own back and have a listen to my efforts! Take care Jo
Yes, spot on. Honest, truthful options and fair criticism. Ah! I did listen and liked :-) The Golden Wings verse chord progression sounds a bit like Alice Coopers Only Women Bleed. Good lyric and melodies on all. Have you recorded them at home? You have got a really good clear sound but I was picking up some popping.
Thanks for this. yes recorded in a spare room at a friends house. The occasional sound of a wall radiator and his kids playing piano in the background. Not high production standard but what we did to enter the UKSC competition. I was very pleased with the sound because it was simple. We had done some very fussy arrangements before this. It all takes too much time..
Haha! Nothing better than natural percussion! Same here, I thought I'd give the UKSC a go. Never done anything like it before and thought it would be a laugh. Haven't written anything seriously before. So I've entered my 2 although I don't expect to get anywhere but the free membership to here and the USong website sounded good anyway. Good Luck!
Hi Jo - Just listened to your new one, Over Me. Liked that too, keep em rolling. A few comments. I think you've captured the song mood with the keys and strings but I think the guitar strum is to hectic for that mood. First, I would listen to it again without the acoustic altogether - I think that will sound really cool and haunting and match the lyric. If, no good and the guitar needs to go back try dropping the 1, 1,2,3,1,2,3 stum and go with the beat and tempo of the piano lead. I know the guitar and theme are folk but everything sways towards the song being a dark ballad. Only ideas!
Thanks so much for this. You are kind. Yes it would be fun to change the arrangement like that. My guitar playing is not great or very versatile but we tend to use it to set the tempo. My friend did the final mix and we tried to keep it all very simple I know what you mean about the haunting mood and a slightly more ethereal sound would work better. By the way results are in today apparently. Have alook on the chat on the facebook page!!! Many thanks for your comments. Jo
Got results - 5 for Beating Wings and 6 for Right Time. Well pleased for first attempt! :-) How'd you do?
Well done Keith. That's great isn't it. What a boost. I submitted 7 songs. 6 of them got a 6 and one got a 7 (Jazz/Blues category) Called the sweetest sound. I haven't uploaded it yet. Not quite what i was fantasizing about but of course if you hear the winning songs no surprise really.
Excellent! Well done you. Right, back to the drawing board! We're got to have one in there somewhere!
thanks man! i appreciate the kind words about 'until the words i do (i love you)'. kenm
Hi Benjamin - Thanks for your review. Not Peter Murphy unfortunately (wouldn't mind some of him money though!). Cheers Keith

You're welcome, Keith. Glad that song came up in review. Thanks for connecting, as well.
Hi Sam - Thanks for the review. Much appreciated. My songs are only here for the fun of it so glad you like some aspects. Cheers.
Thanks for your review of Rock n Roll(deep in your soul)....hoping I can get my vocals up to your standard at some stage... Cheers Laurence
Hi Laurence - thanks for your reply. I had a quick listen to some of your sother stuff after the review and all sound very good. Sounds like it is just some of the vocal parts of this one that need tinckering with! Apologises! As far as getting to my vocal satandard goes, you've way past that already! Cheers Keith
Cheers Keith, Keep the songs coming...... Laurence
Great voice and really catchy song!
