Hi Sol!
Another good song from you. Normally I listen to others’ songs with an ear listening more to the melody and chord progressions than to the lyrics. However, in this case, the lyrics are close to home for me and so I am drawn to the words more closely this time. Mix wise, you create a ‘live’ vibe in your mixes. It would only need a soft murmur of a crowd and clinking of glasses and I’d swear I was listening in a bar or restaurant.

I know I write for myself but also for others to listen. I would like more of my family and friends to listen, but also hope that one day when I have shed this mortal coil, that a family member will say “Hey, did you know that my granddad was a songwriter? Listen to this!”. A little bit while I’m still here would also be nice.

It is very apparent that you love to express yourself in song, and you have a way of your songs addressing subject matter directly, and also how appreciative you are of this forum and members listening and giving feedback. I’ve noticed you’ve been pacing yourself of late (posts not as prolific) and I hope you develop a good following from these so that if you continue to publish outside of the forum, you still get the listeners you seek and deserve.

BTW, the way you post your YouTube videos makes it harder to ‘like and subscribe’ whereas if you post the link, viewers will be taken to YouTube where they can like, subscribe and comment. If I am missing something here, I am open to you or others filling me in.

Keep writing and I’ll keep listening!

Andrew
