I love you're lyrics because everyone trying to reach a goal can relate to them and they also really show you're passion. Keep trying you will get their one day :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411879087936604884.post-46279158604963343112011-04-23T14:47:41.154-07:002011-04-23T14:47:41.154-07:00I walked, scratch that, dragged myself away last n...I walked, scratch that, dragged myself away last night and have been working on some serious stuff and have come up with some, I think, great ideas! LOL! It's killing me... I want to look, but if I look I'll stay. Must... keep... working(in my best Capt Kirk voice)!<br />And no I didn't, thank you for saying so. So are you, this blog dragged my butt away from Twitter to work on the stuff I'm working on now. So, thank you!Obstreperoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07151185949163077867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411879087936604884.post-9592523719634619742011-04-22T20:46:40.099-07:002011-04-22T20:46:40.099-07:00Thank you again.

I...Thank you again. I'm glad you enjoy it.<br /><br />I've never really liked my voice. It doesn't help that I've been a long-time smoker. Although I have already made a commitment to myself to quit this weekend...for real this time. It hinders my control and I don't have the range I would like to have.<br /><br />I wrote this song earlier this year for some friends of mine that were going through marital troubles. They weren't talking to each other, but they both would talk to me. Both of them had extremely emotional "let it all out" sessions with me. It was really cool that the week I played this song to them (individually) they started talking to each other again. They still struggle in their relationship but they are doing soooooo much better. I don't know if I really had any hand in it. I would like to think I helped a little.jridenour73https://www.blogger.com/profile/02163456026015682416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411879087936604884.post-55978198930223100372011-04-22T20:39:12.726-07:002011-04-22T20:39:12.726-07:00Thank you for the encouragement.

I wouldn't be communicating with you had it not been for our tweet-exchanges a couple of days ago. I've also gotten a lot of ideas from reading other people's tweets. The flip side is that is so damned addicting! I've had to force myself to stay away from it for most of today.<br /><br />See you soon!jridenour73https://www.blogger.com/profile/02163456026015682416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411879087936604884.post-42490580093819009932011-04-22T18:25:24.143-07:002011-04-22T18:25:24.143-07:00I love your voice... it's really amazing.

However, ironically... Twitter has led to a broader audience. Balance, whatever that is... I find that I also must read. If I don't read, I don't feed my imagination, enlarge my vocabulary, or plant seeds. BTW... your music is wonderful, quit putting quarters in the butt kicking machine!Obstreperoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07151185949163077867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411879087936604884.post-4324926180236970572011-04-22T09:31:29.897-07:002011-04-22T09:31:29.897-07:00Thanks Matt!

The verses and chorus's balance very nicely lyrically, and the chorus has a lovely 'payoff' (the bit that audiences really connect to and sums up the meaning of the song)<br /><br />If this was my song, I would consider rewriting the verses in order to diversify the images. Some of the stuff you're using is great, but occasionally you resort to cliche's in order to fill a rhyme. Nothing wrong with that in a big, booming R&B song, but in this kind of intimate genre it really gets noticed.<br /><br />Also, the song dips in energy around the area of the bridge. If it was mine, I would consider rewriting that part to include a large dynamic shift, either melodically or lyrically.<br /><br />But great song, great voice, and keep writing!<br />PP xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411879087936604884.post-84892461616813528972011-04-22T06:23:52.486-07:002011-04-22T06:23:52.486-07:00Beautiful song!
