Hey Lynn - Listened again to your amazing creation "Waiting for Maui" it's just a beautiful piece, made my day. Such a gift! You're one of the brightest stars shining - well - anywhere, but oh so brightly here on BJ. Kudos :):):)
Hi Diane! Many thanks for the 5 stars for "November Rain". I appreciate it very much and glad you liked it. Best wishes, Paul Daren
You are most welcome, Paul, I absolutely loved it! I'm sure you'll eep 'em comin!!
Hi Mrs. Diane Radius. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my song Key 2 Trilogy, and thank you for the very generous rating. I listened to the first song on your list Sweet Heather. I could tell by the depth, simplicity and flow of your creation you have been composing and honing your skills for a long time. Very well done!!! I wish you all the best success as you move forward. Regards Pete
Well thank you for those kind words and yes been doing this music thing for -- gosh -- too many years to count now ha ha ... But I had a chance to listen to your gorgeous tune, I'm always amazed at how absolutely unique each artist is and how much creative thought goes into each project. Key 2 Trilogy was lovely to listen to, wow, top top quality stuff! Wishin' you all the best too, here on BJ and elsewhere! Cheers! - Diane
Hey there Chet, thanks for the stars on my tune, I've been a bit off the grid a bit as my lovely mom (100 yrs old) passed away this week - It hasn't really hit me yet, still feels she's around "somewhere". Anyways, I'm very appreciative of the ears, so big thanks! - diane
Hey Diane, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I could never say "I know how you feel", as I don't. But I have a sensitivity to what you are going through. Lost my dad at 7, oldest brother when he was 45, next brother at 70 and my mom back in 1992. It is not easy, but I have great spiritual faith and know the transition is to.... Glory. Anyway, my prayers go out to you and your family. I wrote a wonderful song, "The Sands Of Time", about people passing it has a lot of hope embedded in it. Here is a link: https://chetnichols.net/single-the- sands-of-time.... I think it will comfort you. I hope so. God bless and keep me posted how you are doing. My Best, Chester
Thanks for that Chet, I did listen to "Sands of Time" - yes very hopeful lyrics, we need more of that on this crazy planet don't we? I also listened to a few other tracks and was equally impressed with them, you're not only a great musician and vocalist, but a great lyricist too. Things are going along. This period of time has given me a unique chance to reflect on lots of good things, many of which I wouldn't have even thought about - so there's always some good somewhere eh? Go well, and thanks again, Diane
Hey there Chet, Thanks for sending me to your page, I'm listening to your "Flying My Pyramid" and wowwowowowo absolutely love it !!!!!!!!!!!!! Your mix is so full and engaging!!!!!!!!!! Lots going on but it all sings together in one big happy voice! I'd be happy to get some of that into my own mixes, so good to be inspired, it's like being shown brand new colours you've never seen before, big rainbows !!! that's for sure!!!!!!Big thanks!
Hey Diane...thanks for the kind words. "Flying My Pyramid" was inspired by a dream I had of discovering a pyramid in the desert, got inside and found a way to fly it... Check out "Ticking Stars"....it has BOWIE-like vibe to it. It is a great track.... And then, "Stairway To Peace" was inspired by a dream, too. Woke up and went in and laid the basic track down and it was done in 3 days. The next day, the Middle East broke out in war.... hmmmm. Thanks, again....keep me posted... Chet Nichols
Hey Diane.... I just released another new instrumental single that will be part of the "Flying My Pyramid" album. This new song is entitled, "Caravan To Orion"..... I think you will really like this track! Hope all is well... Best, Chet
Sure do like it! Especially the change & lift at 1:26 and again at 6:06, really rich & wonderful! Sounds like your album is gonna be spectacular! Keep going!
Hey guys thanks so much for the stars on "I'll Never Forget" and "Sweet Heather" - those are 2 of my faves too - looking forward to the collab and have a very Merry and Prosperous New Year !
Diane, great to hear back from you! As soon as we have something New, we will send it along! Have you had a chance to listen to the tune I recently sent you?? Again, if you hear something interesting on your end, to enhance the song, GO FOR IT! We will pay for it for sure!! The Coreys.............
Thank you for the endorsement and the 5 star rating of my songs "Broken" and "Baby" . Much appreciated. Have 5 new tracks soon to be uploaded. Cheers Suzy Haworth
Hello Lyle Concierge peeps = thanks a million for the stars and endorsement, very much appreciated for "Sweet Heather" and "I'll Never Forget" and I wish you all a very Merry and Prosperous New Year my friends !!!!!
Hey Miss Diane, have a great New Year! LC Team
Beautiful and inspiring...
G'morning Lyle - Many thanks for the stars on "Dark Patch of Sky"- I so appreciate you taking the time to listen. :)
Hey John - Thanks a million for the stars on "Patch of Sky" - much appreciated! I'll dig into some of your stuff here over the weekend, looks like an absolute treasure chest! -Diane
You're very welcome, Diane. I just listened to "Well After Midnight," which, too, has a beautiful minimalist thing going, but I especially like the three distinct sections that are cohesive, the second section adding interest with more layers. My newest song is "Just Another Weekend," which is what my life was until I got married to Lora when I was 49. It's one of my lilting, bouncy tunes, with a story about all the busy things I did while longing and hoping for love. I found Sofi, the vocalist, on FiveRR. She's from Buenos Aires and she has a delightful folky voice. It's has my best mixing/mastering jobs but I think I'll move the bass closer to center. Most of my songs are autobiographical. I think my best melodies come from what I've experienced because they really express the feeling between and through the words. David Crosby was right that you have to write from what goes on with you if you're going to get down to something that means anything. That was from the CSNY "Four Way Street" concert album. (Pretty good musing if he happened to be stoned!) "Far From Home" sounds much better with Clay Collins on it as does "The Most of Nothing," which would probably win the Dewey Bunnell ("Tin Man") no-one-knows-what-the-hell-you're-t alking-about-stream-of-consciousnes s award. Anyway, come on by. I'd appreciate that! John
Diane, "Dark Patch of Sky" is wonderfully atmospheric and wintry, starting off with the minimalism similar to Harold Budd and ending with what George Winston would do, but definitely your own. I like it! John
Hey Mike, congrats on your selection of "Queen of Hearts" - it's a great tune! Cheers:)
Thanks Diane,one of those tunes that just worked from the start! Mikie.
G'morning Nan, thank you so much for your ears and stars on "If I GO", much appreciated! Have a wonderful Wednesday! -diane
Simply loved the tune!!!!!!!
Hey Vi - Thanks for that (necessarily) brutal review. (One Dark Night) Wish you could review all my tunes. Truly appreciate the suggestions that totally make so much sense to me now that I re-listen. Sometimes it takes another pair of ears.... Onward and Upward! Cheers!
I'm glad the information was well received. Remember.... There is no such thing as a bad way to self express. Just better ways to present that. Good luck, creator bless. Vi
Thanks Diane for the stars on "Firefly Dance". I always appreciate listeners taking the time to comment. By the way, I relate really well to your wonderful piano playing! - Kevin
Hey Constantinos - Heard your track "No Goodbyes" on the top 10 list, wow it's rare to hear such a combination of deeply beautiful artistry and technical perfection, can't tell you how much I enjoyed the listening experience. Joyful ! Thanks for the music ! -diane
G'morning Frank, big thank you for all the stars and reviews, appreciate you taking the time to really listen and your generous and thoughtful comments.-Cheers! diane
Steve thanks for the generous review of "And What Now" - surprising how a little encouragement can keep us going, and I appreciate it. :)
You are welcome. You are talented. So if it makes your day so be it!
Hey there Pat, a million thanks for your very thoughtful review of "Sounds Like Love" - I did it a while ago, I think I was just using the stock Halion Yamaha piano, it's been pretty reliable over the years. Your comments really made me smile, I mean that's why we do this right? - to make an impact, that's the magic I think. Thank you again!
You are certainly welcome Diane! I have grown to love Broadjam and reviewing other's songs! Taking tips from others has really helped my craft! "Sounds like Love" will be picked up by someone I am sure! I'll be listening to you more as time goes by!! Be sure to notify me if something big happens because it will! Catnip
Heya Steve, thank you for the very generous review of "Dream Colours 3" - I'm thinking of pitching it for the intimate piano current listing along with a few others in my stack. It's clean and simple, which could be useful for them. Listened to some of your tracks from "Love is Love" - wow, pristine mixes and great writing, guitar work, vocals, etc. Your voice has something of a John Denver vibe, beautiful! --wishing you much-continued success...
Thank you for the compliments. I believe u r in Ontario as well! I have to say all the music and vocal work you here is not me. I write music but performance of it is something no one should hear!
Thank you for the 5 star rating on "Best Day". Appreciate it!
Hey Yuri, thanks for the amazing review on "You are Power". I always thought something was off but couldn't spot it -- I think you nailed it. I'll work on making those changes, I sooooooo appreciate your technical expertise and a million thanks for it because sometimes extra ears are so needed! Cheers ! -diane
Thanks for your review of "Dark Momentum". I get a lot of insight from your thoughtful feedback. Truly appreciate it. I've been listening to your work while writing this. You've lullabyed me into a very pleasant and soothing spell. Have a great day and thanks again. Yuri
Hiya Frank, thanks for the stars on "Morning Subway" - not my usual kind of piece, and I like your optimism about placement ideas! Cheers!
Hey Art & Margie, thanks for the endorsement - means a lot! Cheers!
Hi Diane, Thanks for the review of "Moods of Electra". I appreciate the time you spent listening and providing meaningful and helpful comments. Your observation elate to category is good one, and I tend to agree with you. I'll update that. Thanks again for the positive and helpful review! Be and stay well, Frank
Thanks Diane for kind words on "Tin Pan Alley". Appreciate it.
Cheers Diane, great job on Baby's Breath, you understate it in your description...IMO it's more than a pretty lullabye by a mile! It uses minor chords in subtle ways that make it very special for sure... Kudos, Warren
Thank you so very much for the kind words and ears, Warren, I had fun with these little tunes!
Great Review from you for my The Promise (Orchestra)! You took the retime to deliver a lovely review. Thanks Diane!
My pleasure Jim, it's an absolutely stellar track! Congrats!
Thanks a lot Diane for the kind reviews of Cold Lonely House and Let Me Know. I appreciate your taking the time very much.
Hi Diane, Many thanks for your kind review of The Drawing Room (The Song), it is very much appreciated. This was originally an instrumental piece but this version is entirely down to Cyndi Corkran approaching me out of the blue suggesting that a vocal might work, and that she had the whole thing figured out!! At the time I was flattered but not convinced it would work but happy to give it a try. Thankfully, it does work. This started a great trans-Atlantic relationship and we have now collaborated on a couple of projects and a third with a third is work in progress. I have had a quick trip through some of your songs and I love the variation and sheer quality. Goodluck with your projects, Thanks again, Bob
Hey Bob - You know I thought I recognized that track, but was so focused on the vocals I didn't quite catch it! It's a beautiful track, you could probably do many different versions, I hope it attracts an awesome placement for you, and keep up the good work! And thanks for the ears, I'm hoping for some action this year as things seem to be opening up again nicely. Cheers :)
Many thanks Diane
