Francis Cabrel - Samedi soir sur la terre (Saturday night on earth). So atmospheric. It helps to know French but even without it, it's wonderful. (It's just about two people meeting and the inevitability of what follows). And when the sax comes i…

I like the lyric a lot, especially the verses. Took me a moment or two to realize West Virginia was a girl. just the right amount of figuring out to make it more enjoyable.
My only suggestion concerns what I felt was a slight disconnect bet…

Simplicity is a virtue :) This is cute and quirky with a catchy melody. RDM has some good suggestions, especially about replacing "threats" with "words." The idea of her issuing threats kind of detracts from the ditzy but lovable character you've…

Hard to comment on the lyrics in isolation from the book, but they seem suitably spooky and ominous. The musical accompaniment complements this nicely. My only suggestion would be that you find a way to make the chorus stand out a little more. Pe…

@ChrisPrice LOL. Can't ask for more than that. I'm off to see my other daughter in New York shortly. Plans incl…

Beautiful lyric which really moved me, as did the melody and powerful vocals, and the swelling musical arrangement behind the chorus enhanced that emotional punch really well.
I felt the guitar after the bridge was a little busy. Also, the …

Nice one, Elvis! I love the thoughtful lyric coming from such an unusual angle. Like Chris, this wouldn't normally be my kind of music, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
What is the John Lennon Contest?

Neat idea. Last time I saw the Seine, it wasn't flowing backwards, but what if it was.....
It's a neat idea, a kind of dream, and it pulled me in, along with the catchy melody. Well performed and produced too. I went back and listened again…

Until recently, I didn't realize there were so many kinds of guitar beyond the one familiar to us all. I became a fan of Fado music after visiting Lisbon, and noticed that the musicians had an unusual looking instrument, which I learned was tradi…

What a great soulful sound! I like the way the intensity really builds at the end.
I'm not sure that I completely get the lyric. What is a crooked highway line? I don't think I've ever seen any that weren't pretty much straight, and that ma…

I speak pretty good German, although I am a bit out of practice these days :) I'd count Reinhard Mey as one of my songwriting influences (which shows my age lol). I enjoyed this. Clever lyric and the musical arrangement really suits it. And the v…

@jrandolph Thanks for listening. Glad you enjoyed it.

I enjoyed it. The music is very atmospheric. The lyric is cool. I'm not entirely sure they fit comfortably together. It seems to me that the lyric calls for a more conversational tone, while the music, which I really like, is more dreamy. That as…

Thanks Icy. Definitely a…
Very niche, Owen. I wrot…
I take it this is about some creep behaving very inappropriately towards you in the park. I like the song and the attitude! I think it might be more effective if, alongside all the animal metaphors, you painted more of a picture of the creep in q…
Thanks, Elvis. Actually,…
Thanks, CCB, this was on…
A very enjoyable listen, Elvis. You get a great dramatic sound that your vocal complements really well.
I really enjoyed this. Very atmospheric lyric with a musical treatment and vocals to match. The first time the chorus came around, it felt like a little bit of a jolt into a different song, but I was used to it by the time it came around again. G…
Impressive! Is that you playing the accordion? I'm old enough to remember Steeleye Span, although All Around My Hat is the only song that comes easily to mind.
Interesting metaphor, the cuckoo's nest, although the fact that they get married…
Thanks CCB. I'm pretty s…

Thanks Owen. You're righ…
Thanks for listening, El…
I always liked your videos a lot, Mora. but lately it seems that your melodies are catchier and I'm loving them even more.
Some wonderful imagery - the reins, the black birds and these lines:
I'm already a drawer of yesterday

Howdy, Stranger!
