Hi Sergio,

before starting this review I took the time to listen through a number of the songs on your soundcloud page. I notice they are all instrumentals... and very nice ones, I would add... but is there a reason why you don't write songs with lyrics and singing? Please consider that as a future possibility. Recently a few people who previously had submitted only instrumentals started submitting songs with lyrics, and in each case the songs were overwhelmingly well received!

But, having said all that.. even if you never write a song with lyrics, you have a real feel for putting together very pleasing instrumentals! I like your chord progressions and the fact that you take the time to develop themes if not full-blown melodies in your songs. Every one of your songs that I have listened to has been instantly likable, and that's no small accomplishment!

But, I must admit that I think the addition of lyrics would push them up into a whole new league of awesomeness!

In the final analysis, I am glad you are a member of this group, and I look forward to hearing more from you (whether there are lyrics or not) ;-)

Hello, Sergio

Very beautiful song.
As Pat said, it is sometimes suitable that lyrics and vocals are added to your songs.
Because every one of your songs are very melodic.
Canzone is very famous in Japan, so we believe all Italians are good singers.
I also think the addition of lyrics would push them up into a whole new league of awesomeness.
But I enjoyed my listen a lot this time, too.

Best Regards.

Thanks for your nice reply. You're right: I'd like to sing like the most of you in this forum, because surely lyrics are the natural enrichment of a melody. Lyrics you compose contributed to make beautiful song on this forum. Once when I was young and played around with my friends, I sung our few songs and not too bad. But now the voice is like it is: not too good and so I prefere to play. I tried last year in a song (https://soundcloud.com/sergio-guarneri/show-me-the-way) but there were no good results for me.
Maybe in the next time I could tray again.

Otherwise many thanks for your comment about my music and I'm very glad for what you said to me.

Many thanks Greg. I'm honest; I've never listen to some David Lindley's songs before. I remedied immediately. What beautiful music!! I like his sound and I thank you for letting find out. However I read
he had a collaboration with Jackson Browne. Jackson Browne is one of my favorite artists.
