Thanks Tommy! Appreciate the feedback on the sequencing.

Love to hear a new song from you, Tommy!
I love the vibraphone runs! Not so sure about the mellotron in the intro, but the vocal harmonies are luscious!
I like how it's about Valentine's Day without ever specifically referencing it.
Thanks @OnlyGavin that's really useful info, and within my budget too! I'll definitely check that out. I've hear…
I wasn't 100% on the sequencing of verses 2 and 3, whether it was better to arrive home as the last thing, (excepting the revisit of V1) or have time's changes and the kind of camera pull back last.
No one's mentioned it as a problem so it …
Yep, a final chord may or may not work. One you'd need to try, and hear, before deciding - though maybe you already have!
Thanks Gavin! No I'm only on the free plan at Soundcloud. They used to have that option for the free plan too but moved it behind the paywall as you indicated. That's where I would normally post (or Soundclick) but I decided to put this up in an …
I feel like your last couple of songs have really kicked up a notch.
This feels like a complete song rather than just the idea for one.
I like how you're using the guitar as a structural element. You've always been able to shred, but …
Good write. Has a real sense of identity, maybe that's a reflection of your friend. If not, even more kudos.
Also a feeling of lost causes. Not pointlessness, a need to stand up for those causes, but a long series of defeats. I think you di…
This puts me in mind of some of Don McLean's lyrics (not the music so much) where he criticizes some of the ills in society through someone's specific story.
Using "Faith" as the name is very clever, works beautifully.
I wasn't sure h…
Oh I haven't heard that one in ages! Perhaps there's good reason!!
You're right there John! These things certainly do go off the rails at times, and not just here!
Like you, I value friendship over winning the debate.
There's a lot of passion bound up in these lyrics (sorry for the pun but it felt like the right word).
I particularly like: "A forlorn essence bound to wood by steel"
And those last lines give a building sense of approaching terror to…
Tom, political songs aren't being banned. You can post them.
There's been discussion on how best to deal with them, and other sensitive topics here: in Let’s Make America Great Again Comment by RainyDayMan February 2025
Thanks Bill, that will help too!
OP is short for Original Poster (internet speak)
Strong title, and a good lyric
Anything where children are hurting is going to pull on the heartstrings.
Oh Barry! I'm sorry to hear that, that must be gut wrenching. Hang in there mate.
This is a lovely lyric. Am I right in thinking this is an older lyric that you've now been able to set to music with Suno?
Either way it's a great write…
@ElvisNash Thanks for noticing that! I was quite pleased with the chord progression, especially D → Amin9 → G →…
John, if you're very…
Thank you Sid and Bill
Yes, it probably deserves better than I can give it, even in a final form!
It's an idealized, nostalgic picture of childhood and family. Not too schmaltzy?
Renee has volunteered to be our first guinea pig (no offence intended!!).
And the first learning is that the note needs to stand out and grab people's attention in case they miss it.
For that reason I'd suggest putting it in …
Renee, I felt like your note asking only for feedback on the song needed to stand a little more, so I've taken the liberty of putting it in bold, hope you don't mind. This is the kind of thing we'll learn as we going along.
I thank you for doing this Sid - it's big of you.
I think a general reset across the board would be a good thing.
Nobody needs to change their opinions or beliefs. Nor do we need to change anyone else's. Just turn down the dial on neg…
Yep, the accordion definitely adds to the french vibe!
Lovely to hear one of your songs again, Gavin!
The internal rhyme on "And she pirouettes on stiletto heels" doesn't quite come off 100% because of the emphasis on the "o" at the e…
I think these kind of songs shine when they come from the heart. It's not about spit and polish, it's about faith and sincerity. As such, I wouldn't change a thing.
Carroll, would you mind posting the lyrics here on TSF as well as the music link when you post your songs? It really makes it much easier to follow along as you listen.
Like Renee, my old ears have difficulty sometimes picking out all the w…
This is lovely! Adult Contemporary pop style beautifully done.
I like the strings in the intro. And when they return!
The slight pauses in the vocal melody work very well.
Good job on the bass lines too, not just hitting the ton…
Ok, I think there is enough support for us to at least try this out and see if it helps.
So, keep an eye out for anyone posting a "Sensitive Topic" note in their post, and please respect their request - with my moderator's hat on, I'll be f…
Howdy, Stranger!
