Hi Anne. Thank you so much for your review of "Broken". I had seven reviews waiting for me and yours was the most complimentary! Love "Rockin' Mellow" - keep doing what you do. Cheers, Louise

Hi Randy, thanks very much for reviewing "Heart Of A Dead Man". Your feedback is the most useful feedback I've ever had. I'm aware that I can't write a good chorus but I'm still trying. I've just listened to "When You Go Home" and it is beautiful. You're a talented guy. I can imagine this piece being used in an emotional scene of a film and it would make everyone cry even more. The piano chords in the intro are really loud through my headphones and it may put other folk off listening to the rest of the song, but I still loved it.

I had hoped any of my stuff would be used but so far nothing. I am so glad you found what I wrote about your song useful. To say you can't write a chorus is obviously not true. I am broken has an excellent chorus. I'd love to work on a song like that (nice song). Horns would really make that one come alive.

Hi Andy, thanks for reviewing "Broken". I agree with your recording tips but I'm limited with time, skill, money and equipment. Still not entirely convinced my songs are worth an investment. I'm having a love-hate relationship with songwriting at the moment. I like the vibe of your music. All the best. Louise

Hi David, Thanks for your review of When You Fall. I think you hit the nail on the head with the chorus. I'm a sucker for a good melody yet I can't seem to deliver a good chorus. I was once told not to consider myself a songwriter until I'd written 100 songs. I've got 95 to go!

Hiya Louise. It's a really good song. Reviewers keep telling me that I need more hooks and distinctive choruses. It's bit of a frustration because to me they sound fine. I find that the only way to deliver a good chorus is to really let go; change the timing, speed the song up, add extra instruments. I wouldn't claim to be a songwriting guru by any means but I find that by changing chords every one or two bars in the chorus, rather than every four bars as in the verses does the trick. Verses set a certain mood but the chorus should take the listener somewhere else. Just thrash out a chorus and see where it takes you.
Regards. David

Louise, "When You Fall" is a beautiful and moving song that explores an area that at some time touches most of our lives in some way... Your voice delivered it with such feeling and beauty...My heart goes out to all who have lost someone in this most difficult way..

Hi Penny. I wrote this song to get the girl out of my head. I couldn't stop thinking about her. Weird feeling that the song was writing itself - not a lot to do with me! You're a bit of a legend on here so your comments mean a lot.

Miss Louise. Hot Damn! I is Pickled Pink (as MeMaw used to say) to have you as our very first virtual Friend. Kind of like a Ghost, which is what our next tune is about, only laying one (no offense). I asked Eric onst why all our friends is girls, and he makes out it's on account of us being borned orphans and raised by womenfolk. We likes your new song Money. We aint got nothing neither, but we always share it. - Fever

Louise, my mistress of misery. When You Fall is so beautiful and haunting. You are like the Angel of Death (she is said to be the most beautiful). So glad to stumble across you on Friday the 13th! A gift of rare beauty, each of your songs is like an Angel's hymn to humanity. I hope someone is listening! - N

Hi Penny. Thanks so much for your encouraging comments. I spilt coffee on my computer keyboard which has made it infuriating to type as my delete key stopped working! You have written so many songs. Where do you get the time and inspiration? I've got two small kids and a full time job so writing is at the bottom of the pile but I have to squeeze it in to keep sane. Thanks again for your kind words. It's always nice to hear. Nick is a bit of a legend encouraging other people and sharing his love of music. Keep writing yourself, it's fuel for the soul.

Hi Nick, thanks for noticing. It does tickle my fancy to know that I'm in a chart with some great musicians. Have you listened to Alex Legg at No. 1 in the alternative country? He's pretty cool. I'm too busy with work to give much attention to my music at the moment but there's a holiday looming for me to get back into it. Sounds like you're finding time to listen to plenty music; have you been writing?

My Dear Louise, Alex and I are pals from long ago. His Scottish/Aussie accent is unmistakable. Your voice is so angelic, it feels like a light summer shower to my ears. I have about 400 songs written, but no time or talent to get them down. Being musically illiterate is a handicap. I bought some software that was supposed to write sheet music from midi input, but with vocals it transcribes a Brandenburg Concerto. Too complicated for simplicity. I am spending time listening to and encouraging the musicians who are better than me, in an attempt to get them to where I am. New stuff coming for Christmas. You are a Gift! - N

Louise, You reviewed one of my early works, "NO NAME" . You are absolutely correct! I don't use much midi anymore, horns sound real bad, I hope this will not denture you from lending an ear . Perhaps "experiment with love" or "my silver friend" TAPPIN' TOMMY

Hey Tappin' Tommy. Whoa, 118 songs! I liked "experiment with love". Wish I'd learnt the upright bass, it's so cool. Trumpets in harmony is just class too. Love the title "May the fleas...." it reminded me of the time I first heard the Beatles with a sitar, unusual but inspired.

That's a big compliment. My friends an intensive-care nurse and I couldn't stop thinking about her experience. Once I'd written it, I could let it go. I'm chuffed that I've captured an experience I've never had.

Just listening to "Broken." Talk about imbedded irony! The contrast of the 'black' lyrics with the almost Cole Porter-ish keyboard playful lilts is quite something. Your voice is pure and very beautiful, your lyricism is spontaneous and surprising. Great work.

Very kind Kurt. Think you boosted interest in the song by your comment though I know it's not everyone's cup of tea.
I love Years Left To Burn. I am 35 and just "starting to catch on". Such a beautiful and profound song. You're writing from the right place and for the right reasons.

Thanks, Louise. "Years" is complete autobiography, and is more than anything a tribute to my father, as well as remarking on the incredible power and dynamics of family. And, of course, lessons...
I will follow your music!

I've been trying to write a song about my father for a few years. I've realised from your song that I've been focussing on his death rather than his life. I'm inspired, thanks.

Louise, Thanks for your kind review of my song "Tom Morgan." I appreciate it. Others have disliked the amount of reverb I used to enhance my voice. I've never been compared to Don Maclean, but thanks! I do think barring a few gaffs my guitar work was pretty clean on that one. Best wishes, Kurt Lehman

Hi Ady,
I had a look at your bio and a few songs after I reviewed "Intimate Meeting". You are clearly very talented. I am so impressed with such an eclectic mix of music. Annabel Lee is just the most beautiful song, I love the story-telling quality. Great melody but harmonically very interesting too.
I appreciate your compliment of my voice but I'm not a singer. I work with what I've got!
If you have any time, I'd love some constructive criticism of my song-writing.
All the best with your music.
Louise

Dear Louise,

Thank you very much. I'm glad you like "Annabel Lee". The lyrics are by Edgar Allan Poe, so of course the lyrics are amazing... I hope the music does the lyrics justice...

I'll listen to your songs again and let you know my thoughts.

In the meantime,

Take care,

Ady

Hey Louise,
Have just listened to all your tracks...mega impressed! Loving "Broken" and "When You Fall" - they're just the sorts of songs I like to listen to. Are you doing quite a lot of songwriting nowadays? Did you enter that competition in the end?
Hope you're well. :) x
