Thank you for your 5 star rating of In Black and White
I love your chord progressions, very haunting
Thanks
Thank you for your five-star rating on Let Your Kingdom Come. The song is meant as a teaching tool for people to understand that God's kingdom is a real government (Daniel 2:44) that will do away with all oppressive leadership today. Many people simply believe that it's a good feeling in your heart. This teaching began with the apostasy from Jesus' teaching that the apostle Paul describes at 2 Thessalonians 2:3. However, Jesus'Father, Jehovah, promises that the truth would be restored in the time of the end (Daniel 12:4) and would be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to the nation's (Matthew 24:14). Thank you again.
Your welcome Gemma - you have a great and unique voice - best wishes to you!
Thank you
Thank you for your fivr-
Your welcome Gemma - keep up the good work!
The song Fake was Written by Laura And myself in 2007 she was 14 when she died she was killer in a horrific car accident. Terrible she was my student my co songwriter and little friend
I'm sorry to hear what happened with your friend Laura. As Christians we have the hope of the promised resurrection Jesus made at John 6:39,40. I hope it encourages you to know that Laura will return once the earth is cleansed of all wickedness (2 Peter 3:13)
I know she was saved before she went her mom found a lot of notes emails to her friends passing along the word at age 14. She was already there Listen to the song Gone.......
Thank you for your endorsement. I know it's something good, but as Big Yellow Taxi comments, I don't really know what it means in a setting like this. I would appreciate any further explanation you can give. Again, thanks. My email is gemmamattis@hotmail.com
Gemma, Thanks for the 5's for "Chainsaw Weather". Bill
I saw that you rated the song "Fake" back 2013 Sorry just looked at this, unfortunately the 14 years died in the middle of production......
I had to visit your page to remind myself of this. It is a lovely song. I'm sorry I didn't understand the last part of your comment, or I couldn't see the whole thing. If it means that you created this song 14 years ago it's still relevant
Thanks for the love on "Let's Play!"
You're welcome
Thanks for listening to "Jennifer Lies" and thanks for sharing your rating. I appreciate it!
You're welcome. It was very deserving of being selected, and I wish you all success!
Thanks for your uplifting comments on It Got Around. I'd almost lost faith in that song but you gave it back. I do still think it needs some changes but won't completely throw it away. Listened to Wicked Game and I see why it got best vocal.
Good morning Ces. ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE TRACK HIT THE FLOOR!!!! YOU SHOULD GET LOTS OF PLACEMENTS WITH THAT!! Great voice as well!! The best to you in life & music.
Gemma. Thank you very much for your supportive and useful review of 'Language'. Beth Macari is the vocalist. You might like to hear some of her original work on YouTube. You mention Linda Ronstadt in your review. By pure co-incidence I was listening to her singing 'Lay Down Beside Me' live in Atlanta ten minutes or so ago. Spooky or what? Once again many thanks. David
Beth's voice reminded me of her. Bodes well for your music in choosing such a talented vocalist.
Gemma, Thanks for the review of "Scorcher". That tune has been around for quite awhile, maybe someday I'll re-record it. Glad you enjoyed it. Bill
Gemma, I appreciate your review "Life Goes On". Yeah, I'm not sure where this would be placed, it kinda crosses a few genre boundaries. Thanks for your input. Bill
Hi Gemma - I know I'm a bit tardy, but I want to thank you for the the thoughtful reviews of "Tears At A Movie" and "An Echo (Asking A Shadow To Dance)". I appreciate your comments because it's clear you listen very carefully and put a lot of thought into what you write. Marv
Thanks for taking the time to review my song "Sing Along." A lot of kind compliments and valuable critiques. Much appreciated!!
Hello Amy. Thanks for the review of my vintage song the preachers wife blues. Mrs kate
Hi Kate, You have lots of songs. They all are very good. You have a heart for sharing God's love through music. Love that!
Thanks amy. Its what God's got me doing and im lovin it. Mk
Loved the song. Keep writing great lyrics!
Hello Gemma, thanks for the review of You're my Hero. That was a rewrite of Hero in My Eyes (original version). A publisher requested that I rewrite it as a mother's day song. That's probably why the lyrics weren't as flowing as they should be. Lesson learned. The publisher never did a thing with it and I didn't make a dime. OH WELL! Live and learn! Thanks again! Mrs. Kate
I loved it. It's such a beautiful song and a beautiful message. I got so excited about it I forgot to do the circled numbers. Deserves a 50 anyway!
Thank you!
Hi Gemma, wanted to thank you for your good and nice review of "Because of you". Great words and feedback! And I do hope to pitch this song to a great artist...Thanks again very much, greetings from the Netherlands, Monique
Greetings! Wish you every success.
Hi Gemma, Thanks for reviewing our Song Heart ache and desire. I write Lyrics and Lamar is the singer, he loves Prince, so I will tell him that he reminded you of him. I do have a longer version, with Heartache in the beginning, but most producers want songs under four minutes, so we do have two versions. Thanks for the great details you gave, It helped me a lot. Hope you have a great day!

Hi Gemma, Thank you so for taking the time to listen, comment and review the song Second Street. It's always good to hear from folks at Broadjam to see how things are sounding. I'm still listening to your tunes... good stuff there for sure Gemma! The best to you and your endeavors, Billy
Thank you for listening.
Gemma Thank you for the very through review of 'All I have to do is Dream"...it has been a favorite of my since I first heard it on the radio as a teenager...I have been doing versions of a few of my favorite songs before my voice is no more...I am glad you liked it and took the time give a really nice review...I am a friend in music
I did enjoy your version of the song. If it was done recently I was hardly say that your voice is no more.
I forgot to add my thanks for your 5-star rating of "Quit Trying Instrumental". Thank you so much. I was beginning to think that no one else but me saw the potential in that song .
If you think what year that song was on the air waves and I was a teenager....well I have a lot less years ahead then behind, so I am working real hard to get as many songs recorded, then I can say well done. I am glad you liked my version...for me it was a joy to do it. Good luck with your song I liked what you did with it...a friend in music
Same here Delta. We're probably around the same age.
Thanks for your review. It's always great to hear from other artists and songwriters.
Gemma - Thanks for the nice things you said in your review of "When You Ride A Dream". The song was written for the Olympics and won the UK Songwriting Contest - Olympic Song Category in 2011. Marv
Very well-deserved!
I listened to a few of your songs. I like the way you use language and the unusual take on things in some of the songs.
Thank you.
Gemma, Thanks for the nice review of "Caramel & Cream". Wrote it many years ago for my neighbors when they got a new basset hound puppy. I'd like to re-record it someday.......glad you liked this version. Bill
Thanks for your positive comments on "Where's The Fire". I appreciate your constructive criticism and found it very useful.
Hi Gemma - Thanks for the review of Dance In The Rain. I appreciate it. Marv
Thanks for your great review of Supernova. I see you're a comedian as well as a musician
Am I? You're welcome, Gemma.
Thanks for your review of my song Be Happy, Do You which you thought could be named Trash Talk. I appreciate the feedback and glad you liked it.
Hello Tristyn! A big thank-you for adding Can't Stop to your playlist. I surely thank you! All the "jitterbug" stuff on my song collection was written while recuperating from a fractured shoulder. For some reason, breaking that huge bone put me into some sort of "Brian Setzer Orchestra" mode. Gee, hope I don't have to break another bone to get more of those done. I just have so much fun with that stuff. Re self-taught, I am right there with ya (except I did start music lessons last summer so I could sight-read). And, you know, another self-taught group from the UK "invaded" our states 50 years ago. Yeah, yeah, they went on later, at the insistence of their manager, to actually learn to read music. Did it make their music any more popular than "She Loves You, (yeah, yeah, yeah)"? I would have to disagree, in my humble opinion. Teaching oneself is the toughest job of all, not everyone can do it. Keep on doing it YOUR WAY. It is pure!
hi your welcome i,ll add some more sometime. well they say we have to suffer for our art not sure if they meant broken bones though lol. you got a great voice for those songs exactly what i like. i think a lot of the greats cant read music or not until many years later. i don't see the need myself to read music as i mainly just do my own stuff and if i do any covers i prefer to do them differently. though i guess for piano it would be handy. as i'm clueless on that lol. always learning with music huh! its funny writing songs isnt easy but it is compared to recording them. people dont really listen to the melody and lyrics they want lots of instruments and it to sound like something in the top 40 lol. i find got to be a bit of a one man band and try and play everything. so constantly learning little things in order to record . and people will always say needs this needs that still lol. but for me its a thrill, thanks
Thank you for your encouraging review of "Supernova". Listened in on your songs. Great voice.
hi thanks gemma.
Hi Banders Row ,thank you for your review of 'A bit of this, A bit of that, it's much appreciated, this is not really my style of music but my Grandson asked me to write something a bit more modern and this is the result.
Thank you for your review of "I Confess". Loved "What We've Done is Wrong" and hope to check back when I have more time to listen to more of your uploaded songs.
Thank you for your review of my song "MYB". I wanted to explain the lyrics since you didn't understand them. Basically the subject is about the dangers of gossip, leading to a confrontation between 2 parties where the victim tells the offender "My pots don't boil at your house". A colloquial saying for "you and I have nothing to do with each other so mind your business, or the result will be that the snake (having people turn on you) will turn and bite you.
Hi Gemma, thanks for taking the time to comment. I wish Broadjam would allow a reviewer to view the lyrics as he/she listens to the track. Now that I have been able to read the words I definitely like them. Sorry for the negative lyric score but I had listened twice and I just could not understand many of the lines. Best of luck to you! - John
I know my recordings are not up to scratch so I haven't taken offense. Hopefully, in the near future, I'll be able to have them professionally done. By the way I listened in to the two songs you've uploaded and find you a very talented lyricist. The music isn't bad either.
Thank you, Gemma. Your kind words are much appreciated. Be well.
Thanks for your pointed and accurate review of "Painless". I was ambivalent about that song but your comment helped me put my finger on why, exactly. I will put that to use!
You're very welcome
Hi Gemma thanks for the kind review of "Sunshine". I had thought about lyrics but just wanted to give the feeling of waking up to a summers day in Paris after weeks of rain. Best Geoff
I guess I wasn't too far off when it made me think of a different language.
No you were spot on Gemma
