Thanks much for the stars on Warm Dry Stomp#2 sir, much appreciated! Stay safe. Warren
Like I have a choice.
Hi Lawrence--Thanks for listening to "Best Girl in the World (for Molly)". I appreciate it! I'm still trying to figure out the new Broadjam changes, too. That's very cool that you are on Spotify and Amazon too! I looked up your Spotify songs and started listening. I say started because I'm trying to figure out how to just listen to them without it just playing other people's songs. I'll keep trying, though. Are you going to put more songs out there? I'm compiling a second album now.
I have 3 playlists started each one will be a 10 -18 song album. In total I have 14 albums on my computer right now. I know I am missing 2 good ones. I have signed as a publisher, it seems to make things go smoother. I hope it all works out. I got a couple of your songs tonight. I"ll be back.
Wow--you are way ahead of me! I better get to work. :-)
I just wish that I could write as well as you. I have a synth piece that I wrote in 2006 up on spotify-Morning.
Lawrence--you have a lot of talent and depth in your music. I enjoy listening to your pieces!
I want to invite you to a sync licensing webinar as soon as I figure out how to do it. I may not make it because of a prior commitment. If not interested let me know.
I figured out how to play your songs on Spotify--I had to use my laptop and not my phone. You put a variety out there! I liked all of them, but I'm curious about the longer songs. Do you record sections and then put them together? I know I couldn't make a clean recording over 4:30 minutes. About the sync webinar is this something I would need to join, or just watch? I've seen some before and they have some good points, but things I've tried haven't got me any closer to any placements.
It seems that Jody Friedman has kind of partnered with Michael Eisner and Michael is presenting the webinar. I have never had to join anything, though I have tried to. Actually I have never tried for a placement other then on Broadjam. I really needed to learn more, and these two have given me a lot to work on. It seems that my DAW can handle any length. But I was very dissapointed with "Morning" when I played it. There was a lot of distortion. My tv?
I have submitted to TAXI (over 10 years ago) and Broadjam opportunities, but no where else. I have songs in a few song libraries (mainly from those opportunities) but they just sit in the libraries, waiting for a music supervisor to stumble across them. When I've seen ads for Jody you can watch some of his input for free, but then it turns into a service to pay for to get more helpful information.
Also, your songs didn't sound distorted on my laptop.
That is a real relief. about my song! SOOOOO..... You have been in the desert also. I thought it was my personal possession. It sure is big and empty. Jody does charge, sometimes a lot. I just squeezed every free thing out of him that I could. His last podcast on PRO's is very interesting because he includes information on YouTube that I never knew before. Also Royalty Free libraries, spotify and a lot more stuff. Michael charged an entry fee for his upcoming sync-challange, 47$. I nervously scan my account every day until it refreshes next month, but every title of the training dealt with issues that I am dealing with right now. I also have a 60 page book of music libraries to submit to, if I am sure that they can use my product. I have a pile of material to consume at my own pace, and the lessons start tomorrow. I am delighted and citted to say the least. Will forward good stuff.
It sounds like we are on the same page. I'm focusing on releasing another album and try to get on Spotify playlists (the next hurdle that may be impossible but going to try). I started to read about royalty-free libraries, but have questions and don't know who to ask.
Watch https://open.spotify.com/episode/2R sTQNfZZZvDleVXbsPqiM?si=ziVHQFVKSje JEmQ3nhcgpw In English " The Importance of Performance Rights Organizations. You Tube link https://youtu.be/b-VhAfpWMEM We know all about pro's but it is what he shares on royalty free library's, and Spotify and You Tube that will shake your boat. It certainly shook mine!
Thanks for sharing this with me! I will watch when I get a chance.
Well here we are again! Running out of superlatives! The video matched the playing mood well! Makes me think your music should be the Mainstay in a nice movie where some songs could have varied accompaniment to suit mood! Jeana do you share your music anywhere else? Concert, show, music society, etc.?
Hi Jim--Thanks for your kind comments and watching "Head in the Clouds". At this point, I share my music on Broadjam and Facebook, plus in September 2021 I released my first album on iTunes, Amazon, streaming, etc. Now to find listeners is the trick! I listened to your song "My Last Farewell". Very beautiful, well-crafted tune with exceptional lyrics and music. It sounds like a hit!
Well I looked for a month, finally used your middle name and found you on Amazon. I like Song for Molly, I couldn't vote because I am having trouble navigating this new website. I am on Amazon and Spotify also and taking a lot of training on sync liscincing. I"ll be a plain you now. friend lawrence K. bodien
Nice to have you on board again Lawrence! I'm finding the new site a bit difficult to navigate as well!
Hi Lawrence-- "Pace" is beautiful, mysterious, hopeful, and complex. Both versions are beautiful!
Hoo Poy Tank Ya all. lkb
hello Lawrence, very enchantingly serious tune you have in Persevere...kudos and well done sir!
I did enjoy your Graveyard Shift. When a person gets advanced in age, that is the only place he gets to work. Thank You for the lights.
ah, well said sir, well said! peace, warren
Lawrence, Thank you for the 5* on my spoken " The Wind He Knows Me Well" working on vocals for this piece... The poem comes from my gifted daughter... again, thanks, in music🎶🎶🎶 Delta
wow!
Hi, Lawrence. "lilchildmudplay" is delightful! I mentioned it in my latest news so that the few visitors I get might stop by to listen. I watched the video, too.
You nice man & wife great lyricist. Thank You.
That will make Lora's day! She did a wonderful job. Thank you, Lawrence!
Congrats on "Persevere" making the classical top 10! It's a beautiful piece.
Thank You. It was one of my first Helen Jane Long freedom songs.
I'm curious--what is the story behind the freedom songs?
Jane set me free as a composer, because of the audacious, and pure guttsy things she writes. To name a few, the piece I like most of hers "Talk of an End" starts out with 6 measures of single whole notes in the piano, the arrangement finally includes a chello, with a treat of the rest of the strings sneaking in at the last 40 seconds of the song which you will miss if you ae not listening carefully. She gets away with everything that my musical upbringing has told me not to do, and yet is the most streamed female composer on Youtube. There is lots of other stuff, but to hear what what I'm talking about, on Soundcloud I put together a playlist of our songs. Now I have to half quote Katy Perry of all people-"Step into your power and let your talent pull you through." Guess I better quit. Thank You Jeana.
HEY Coots are GREEEAT. Just fry them in butter. lkb
My father would never let me shot anything smaller than a Wood DuckðŸ'Š
dat vas a while ago, Did he make you count your shells to?
One shot one kill Daddy's ruleðŸ'Š
We are sure glad you found that rhythm. Thank You.
Thank you Lawrence, which song are you referring to?
Hi Lawrence--Thanks for listening to Into Thin Air and the stars, I appreciate it! I just listened to Too Beautiful, Platitudes, and Manolick. 5-stars--all are very pretty.
So, this is what it feels like to be beat with kindness. Thank You lkb
Hi Lawrence--Nice work on "Uncomplicated Place". 5-stars!
shern of the danka!
Thanks again Fred. Always nice to see you. lkb
I just listened to "A Voice in the Wilderness". It's beautiful and really liked the chord progressions. 5-stars!
I am surprised and chuckling. It is a gratutious chuckle. Been fighting with mr DAW. Just starting to get it to work after 6 weeks? me tired.
At least it's working for you now. Music software gives me a headache!
"Bismark" is a very nice suite beginning with catchy eighth note beats and easily drifts into different tunes and textures, then returning. I can imagine the plains and peaceful landscapes.
I am not used to people playing much less commenting on my music. Thank You very much. Made a video https://youtu.be/O3dkJDoLzaU
I just looked at the video, Lawrence. That's an interesting history you put together, and done very well at that.
Thank You for the great review. I will try to remember, and incorporate your advise.
It was my pleasure, nice piece!
Thanks for the 5 star rating for "Into the Blue Tango"!
Hey John. Thank You for making space smaller with your 5 stars. lkb
I'm sure to drop by some more to add some more stars to your galaxy. You're much welcome! John
SPACE: One of my favorite composers was Harold Budd, and this piece has that kind of flavor, though it certainly is your own. It's a lovely contemplative piece.
Hey! Harold sounds pretty interesting. I'm kind of swamped right now, but you and he should expect longer visits. Thank You again.
Bi-Polar has a cool major/minor dramatic feel. I especially like the sections beginning at 1:16 with the low strings, they have a warm, rich tone. Nice work!
Thank You Jeana.
Hi Lawrence, Thank you for your review of Rocking On A Saturday Night. Your opinion is fine and I personally welcome feedback. However, let's just clear something up here, "But I don't believe a word you said. The song goes through the motions. Contrast none. My response none. I'm sorry but your tech. guy needs a boot in the posterior regions" does not qualify as Positive Comment, Constructive Comment certainly but hardly positive. As it happens, I'm the tech guy so am busy trying to kick my own backside at the moment. I'm much obliged for the feedback, Bob BTW I'm, also the guitar guy, keyboard guy, vocal guy, producer guy and any other guy you care to mention, so at least some of me gets off lightly! Cheers.
I talk to much. I apologize, I know I do. But it is a great song.
Thank you Lawrence. You don't talk too much at all and your view is perfectly valid. It's just that if I were to make the review public (as I do with all others), the negative points under the positive comments heading would get published as well - and I'm reluctant to advertise my weaknesses!! The shame then is that this very good review (47 out of 50) won't get made public. For what it's worth, I have just had a listen to the song and can understand the point you were trying to make! Absolutely no problem, you are who you are and I certainly wasn't looking for an apology. It is just worth you realising the importance of entering comments in the right place for the future. Good luck with your own projects and thanks again for the review. Bob
YOU RIGHT! But my wife thinks I am a slow learner, I don't know why.
bounch of sters. danks. You Honest. Better not let it get around.
Keep My Head Really a nice song. Like the arrangement a lot.
Thanks for the fine review of Lauria's Rage. You told me to go home yesterday, and now I'm confused.
We got to spend three years in Holy Springs MS. In the song The Way You Love me , you caught the people I got to know. No easy trick. Write on Mc Duff.
Thanks for listening and turning others on to my songs.
Thank you for the encouragement and having other people listen to my music
Your talents go loooong ways!
Thanks for reviewing my song DarEpicTheatrical!
Thank You for the review.
Sky High. Thank you so very much for your very generous review and score of my song Rockabilly-ish song "Young Rebels" It's so very much appreciated. Thanks again!!!
I knew it was you. Please do a video of Blue stone Mountain.
You do not want to hear the high end of that program. No one does. Starry Night...
