Although yr genre is at times a little over populated. Yr arrangements instrumatation and sentament all have a lovely fragile strength. A ring of truth about them. And many layers and side roads. I love 'em. Ian C Bishop

Hi Carrie,
Just listened to Better Things to Do, what a great song!!! I also sneak in songs when the kids are sleeping or out, so relate to that. Love your music, keep doing it!

Thank you for your encouraging comment, Chana! That song is an oldie; I am thinking I may re-record it properly. Glad I'm not the only one up late writing songs! Stay in touch.

Best,
Carrie

Thanks, Charlie! That's an oldie (2005) but thanks for your comment, maybe I will dust it off. It is good to have a potential # 1 fan. Although I think my mom is # 1. If you don't mind being # 2? Have a great day. Thanks for the uplifting comment. Best, Carrie

Fair enough if your mom is your #1 fan, I'll have to settle to be your #2 fan but please let your mom know that she has some SERIOUS COMPETITON!!!

Dear Carrie: Thanks for the laugh on the Top 10 Male Vocal, but in any case, you deserve recognition. I am writing personally to inform you of NO MORE as it plays on this theme and you were my inspiration to collaborate with Jim Pearson. Please let me know what you think as I value your taste. - Nick

Carrie,

Congrats on making the Top #1 spot of Pop! Well deserved. For some reason, nearly all of my connections make the Top Ten after connecting with me. I must be a catalyst. All your songs deserve to make the Top 10! Hope this news inspires more work... - N

My Dear Carrie, I found you through a mutual connection, ever searching for like minds. But your voice never fails to give me chills. When a voice gives me chills, it speaks to my soul like and angel's voice calling me home. Why no album (CD)? All of your songs (especially the least played ones) are my favorites! I think you might enjoy some of my Songs of Love & Woe, as we are in the same genre. Let me know.

Nick, thank you for listening and for your kind words. Maybe someday I'll put my songs together for a CD... seems like a big undertaking -- but so is climbing mountains and people do that all the time. One step at a time, I guess! I will listen to more of your music soon. I played "weak ends" -- love that play on words and the theme of the song. Very well done, especially lovely acoustic guitar. Stay in touch.

Thank you for the support! Most of my reviewers are critics who sometimes make me laugh. Alex Legg assumed I was "just starting out." It is never too late to Begin. Recording professional CDs is easy with a Mac. Collaboration becomes easier with Multi-Track recording software like Garage Band. Thank you for being you and making me cry. I have passed my deep respect for your work over to Jim Pearson, Top 10 sensation. You might check him out, too. He is very endearing and bittersweet. I have added you as a connection so we can keep in touch. - Nick

Hey Carrie: Thanks for a great review of Believe. The weak spots in the lyrics you mentioned are the exact same spots I've been telling myself needed re-writes for quite a while. I get bored performing it live whenever I repeat "live and die for you" over and over again. I dig Tangled Things. You have some great material.

Carrie, I just listened to your first three songs. I really enjoyed them. Very cool singer/songwriter vibe you have going on. I really liked the harmony on Into the Grey. Feel like these could easily get some movie placements.

I think you should write a song about this:
"I write and record at home when my kids are asleep."
It wouldn't necessarily have to be about writing songs, but more to the heart of the issue of a busy mom with all of the significant priorities that entails, also satisfying the artistic need to create in what little free time is afforded. I have a niece who is a best selling novelist and she has two small kids. Fortunately, she's had sufficient success, that she has scheduled time with a wonderful babysitter she full trusts, to enable her to go to Starbucks on a regularly scheduled basis to continue to satisfy her passion for writing. This is a very interesting subject matter. The passionate love for one's children, which has to be a #1 priority, but also having the passionate need to create. I can hear a wonderful, tender, inspirational song in all of this. If you're open to a "co-write" I'd love to work with you on this.
all my best,
jay

Game on, Jay! Absolutely. I think I've been writing this song subconsciously for the past 10 years! Let's be in touch off-site and throw some ideas around. You don't have to wait until after 9 pm, either. I've got a smattering of summer camps lined up. :-) cem6970@yahoo.com.

Holy moly! you and Ian made such beautiful music - and to think.. well, anyway, i'm a fan and i love your, "child-like curiosity to turn a knob all the way up to see what happens." yeah, baby!



Carrie, Thanks for your thoughtful critique of "Dakota Winter". You can tell a lot about how meaningful a critique is by listening to the critic's music. In listening down through your songs, I hear a great deal of passion and a talent for setting moods (musically and lyrically) that genuinely draw the listener in. You don't learn that, you just have it (i.e., you just have that little mental moive camera going when you write). I'd love to hear you really open up your voice on something mid to uptempo. Best to you. R.S.

Thanks very much for listening! I like the idea of opening up my voice -- maybe the quiet is related to writing when the kids are asleep! Better start writing in the daylight. :-) Good luck to you, R.S., stay in touch!

'tangled things' is just beyond awesome . has all the old school feelings of great songs that used to be on the radio BUT , the cool thing is that done right , it COULD be on Billboard , a film score , and would also work for country...doesn't matter to me if you're recording in your house , most artists do now anyway . excellent song and superb lyrics. your picture is cute too!

Chaz, thanks so much! I was raised on old time radio, making mix tapes on my boom box! It really means a lot to me that you enjoyed the song. Thanks for the kind comments. c
