Hi Cyn, Thanks for listening to my songs and for the Stars appreciated - glad you liked Freedom Calling...looking forward to your new track!!
My pleasure mP; loved them all, and in particular, "Love You Best". Great energy and message; love is love. I too, look forward to our new track!
Thanks much sir for the stars for Kites On The Moon! Greatly appreciated! Stay safe, Warren
A pleasure sir! great song !
Heck I think I thanked you twice? Well I guess better than not at all LOL W
lol! all good my friend! great track!
Thanks so much for the stars on my new one Kites On The Moon. Much appreciated from a quality writer and producer like yourself! All the best, Warren
Absolute pleasure you are as usual too kind sir...but I absolutely love the vibe in that track! thanks for sharing here!
"Kites on the Moon" is not only a terrific song, it would be a great ending for an album, a contemplative song that is like an epilogue, a coda, that has a long range view. The song has a melody that compliments and brings life to the lyrics. Great job, Warren! John
Thanks my friend, it was a lot of thought and work, but the vision came out and I'm happy... Thanks again I hope others can listen and say something... W
Yeah! Warren - love your vibe on this track ...supa! really cool!
Hi Bob passing by and just wanted to add my comments about your new track Achil Lament. A very strong melodic composition that could be used in many Film and Tv opportunities... It's a great track the guitar playing and the melody are really strong and I would love to see a Full Orchestra play this piece... It reminded me of some of the *Lord of The Rings" soundtracks as I can hear how an orchestra with a good conductor could voice the composition. Great work !!
Many thanks Chris. I've got a bit of remixing to do around the bridge, otherwise I'm pretty pleased with it. Cheers, Bob
Thanks for the stars for Achill Lament Mrs Kate, much appreciated. Bob
you are welcome. Check this out: https://youtu.be/B8yo_q4Bifw You helped! Thanks! Kate
Nice to see the project was a success. Well done on Mrs K!
Awesome work o. the "Well" Project Mrs K! so wonderful!
Hi Chris, thanks for the stars for Achill Lament, much appreciated. Bob
Great track - I could hear it in a Hobbit movie!!!
That'll do for me! Can you have a word with someone?!!
I wish...some years ago my wife sent an album to Peter Jackson without me knowing he did not reply...my hobbit music did not make the grade..lol! oh well...
I don't think many in the music or film industry would bother responding to submissions.
Suspicion - WOW!! Beautiful track.
Thanks Nan..I think this was "Suspicion"...trying ti make something for a suspicious feeling scene...with an unsettled character "overthinking" lol!
It works - that's for sure.
Cheers Nan!
Hey Kiwi Man! Dug Freedom Road, my guess is a HARP sounding like a mando, or a mando like a harp! Well done and cool vibe! Warren
Hey Warren...thanks so much for your comment! - great guess...aha! would you believe a Ukulele? Baritone and Soprano...
Well with your SO WELL DONE productions, nothing would surprise me sir! Lots of fx on it for sure-- we'll done! W
you are too kind sir!! thanks you I try!
"Please don't tease me" is a great song which would grace any night out dancing! Is it real sax? I like louder drum beat; which is only a preference! You are indeed versatile young man!
Thanks Jim yes of course! Greg heath is the saxophonist - he played with Marianne Faithful, Sister Sledge and does tours - he's an mazing Sax player! he plays Flute / Sax / Baritone and Alto/soprano sax.. You can see a video over here with a better mix! louder drums perchance...lol! https://youtu.be/onANVZxEDBM If you do go please put a comment on the Youtube page! thanks!
DoneðŸ‘
Thanks JIm - you sir are a good man!!
Congrats, you have 3 songs in the New Zealand Top Ten! I have 3,4 and 5 in the Scotland Top Ten!
Hiya Jim - back at you! Congrats!
Nice of you to listen to and drop 5 stars my way for "Outlander"! Wish Bear McCreary (Outlander) could hear it!
Good call! Bear would like it..you should reach out to him! Its a great track!
Tried every way possible but no luck! Cannot make contact at all. Any ideas?
yes there are a number of ways... Go through his Manager, go through Databases research on Google and then also pay for a number /email from contact data bases that abound... The Key thing is if you have written a song for him then I am sure he would wnat to hear it..you can also try through their Label...
"Highway is Calling My Name" Intro, sounded like "Rollin On The River"? So I knew I was in for a treat! Great sound. I'm a Harmonica guy, loved it. You have a great vocalist. Don't let him stretch it too far or he'll bust his vocal chords. Also heard, "Born To Be Wild" influence. Oh and Drums led the way brilliantly. My kind of music. Well done! You must have been brought up on great music! Five Stars a must!
Hey Jim, thanks you made my day! ! Yeah that "Born to Be Wild" thing is such an influence...the vocalist is Lisa Dunn she's amazing! you can also hear me firnd who wrote the song concept and mua on BVs... There is a video over here: https://youtu.be/G6YuGm8a6Sc in case you want to see...lol! feel free to comment and subscribe... Keen to chat to you about a track....need your talents to shape it up... Have a great day..I enjoy listening to your music as well...thanks again!
Just arrived at Lake District at top of England for a weeks walking where every walk ends with a Pub!/ Bar! Will watch your video pronto! They are entertaining! Maybe not your genre, but maybe listen to, "I See Her Dancing" (Tim), if you have time.
I will make time...
Bedtime reading was your Video! Another superb production! Vocals echoed the long winding roads and total sound came alive seeing the video. Usually helps boost perception of a song! Nice! Very professional! Wish you the best with it, although I see it is not too recent. You are making your mark in a specific genre with a potential following. Have commented at video!
lol! Cheers Jim! awesome thank you so much!
Hey Cadillak - thanks Man great to meet you as well..now I will also be able to listen - thanks for the friendship! Best M!
Hey John, After seeing your comment about the storm I hoped all was OK...anyway then I looked to see where you are.. a friend of mine works in a Studio in Arizona - so anyway..if you ever need to go to a studio with a Neve desk - real analogue let me know so I can hook you up... Cheers man! hope all is well..oh yeah watch out for the Tarantulas up there..my friend was having a shower her boyfriend had to rescue her from an attack by a Tarantula in the bathroom..lol! I just finished mixing a cool song for them down here in New Zealand..really neat track I think you would like it.. Hope all is good..looking forward to more songs from you soon! Cheers Mx!
Hi Margie & Art, hey thanks for stopping by and listening to "Please Don't tease Me" and for the 5 Stars!! appreciate you guys! - this song was conceived by Race Villarreal and then he asked me to play Bass/ keys / Drums and produce - he was so happy with it - he wrote me in as a co-writer which made my year!! Really top guy - I think he coming to Broadjam soon - meantime I asked if he wnated me to put the song up here and he said yes so i did!! The singer and sax player are great! imho... There is also a video - over here :https://youtu.be/onANVZxEDBM in case you want to check it out! again thanks so much for listening and Starring it up - can't believe the sax playing on the track by greg heath - Brilliant! One of my fave songs to produce ! ever! Thanks again! Mx!
M, your "Freedom Road" (https://youtu.be/IZdgFrNBn1k) video is delightful, full of good vibes, wonderful imagery. The song is flat out great! Anyone else reading this? Stop what you're doing, look at the video and listen! John
Hey John how are you? hoping you are having a great day - thanks man appreciate your comment! thanks!
Hey, great to hear from you, M! We had a wild dust storm come through on Monday that knocked the power out. Power restored 4 hrs. later. Bob Bentley is doing a country arrangement of "Comes and Goes" which is just incredible. So all is good, having fun. "Freedom Road" is one of those rare songs where I think, wow, that one hit the jackpot! You are a great songwriting force!
Hey John, you too as always, glad you got the power back - awesome Bob is extremely talented as are so many of the people on Broadjam, Jim Aitken, Cyn, Thierry, Warren, Kate, Nan - wow! and so many others on my friends list come to mind - its awesome to be here with you all..thanks...you sir are also inspirational! looking forward to hearing what you and Bob end up with - I know it will be very good!
Oh John I meant to say feel free to put a comment on you tube..all the comments help heaps anyone else who views the video is more than welcome to comment as well!! Cheers Mx!
Just watched your Freedom Road! Good happy music which emphasised a positiveness! Very professional sound and instrumentation! Effective video to promote it. What's not to like? Five stars from Jim. More of this please!
Hi Jim thanks so much - thanks for listening, watching and for the Stars!! appreciate you...made my day on a day when I was feeling down...lol! Cheers! Hah! the Ukulele - I picked up a year ago but love the happy vibe it provides..
With your talent, no way should you be feeling down! Unless something deeper/ personal. Your music is a tonic to others!
Thanks so much Jim - too kind! I enjoy your as well!
Hi, M! That's a terrific visit that you gave me a couple of days ago!!! Thank you so very much! The listens and the stars...I am thrilled to see that kind of visit! Best to you, my friend. I think "Freedom Road" is a classic song. My next latest news will feature it (even though the visits aren't that many, I still hope those that come by will take notice).
A pleasure sir! thanks for the Freedom Road shout out..the video is over here: https://youtu.be/IZdgFrNBn1k Released last week, please let me know your thoughts feedback throw a comment on You Tube and subscribe if you like - there are a few what I think are some of my best songs coming there soon..thanks for being such a good guy here!
Hey John! Damn nice remix etc on Equal...LOVELY WORK...I'd still cut about 1/2 of the piano break, because the guitar comes in nicely to support it and the upcoming vocal, but hell, that's being too picky... KUDOS! Jenny sounds quite good in this one for sure! Warren
Thank you, Warren! I'm glad to know you listened and really noticed. That's interesting about cutting some of the piano break. That could help keep the action going on a high in the song. I'll listen for that while I try out a very slight refinement. John
I just listened to Jenny's "Butterfly" again, Warren. I see you have. I think that is Jenny's finest song. It's just beautiful and elegant. I was sorry to see her pretty much leave Broadjam.
I had a listen good work John, while typing to you and Jim I listened to your playlist some nice tracks..I dropped some starts!! cheers!
I just saw this, M. Broadjam buries its comments here and there and I have to scout around. Thank you for stopping by and the votes of confidence! It makes my evening much nicer! John
