Very much liked this piece. A great deal of imaginaiton has gone into this work I can tell. I don't know if you are familiar with the Composer Copland, but this piece is very reminicent of the style of Copland. This should do well in the Contest I feel.

I really loved this Jim! Gorgeous melodies with subtle changes that change with the seasons. Very imaginative. Wonderful strings. In fact everything was fabulous about this. If this doesn't do well in the Contest I will eat my keyboard (but first we have to have a Contest!) so my keyboard should be safe for a bit :)

Another great song, with a real Beatles vibe!! Your instruments are nicely balanced against the vocals. Very often I hear music where the vocals are drowned out by the instrumentals, but not in this case. You have a great voice for this genre as well.
If these Contests ever get moving again, I'm certain your songs will be popular, especial in the 'Vocals' and 'Beatles Contests', let's hope you don't have to wait too long to find out.

Wow!! Love this one! Lyrics have never been one of my strong points. I struggle with lyrics for days, and more often than not they get thrown on the scrp heap :) This is not only a fabulous song, but your lyrics are perfect in my eyes.
I wish you the very best of luck in the Contest....whoever you may be :):)

Wow!! Love it my friend. Real 60's feel to this, and I'm a succour for the 60's. Your voice and style remind me of someone else on this site, and I can't for the life of me think who that is for now. I'm sure it will come to me though.
Just a tip for you, took me a while before I realised, if planning on submitting something to a contest, Upload it into the contest, if you have already uploaded a piece (but not into contest) it cannot be re-uploaded again and cannot be entered into s contest.
Also be careful not to reveal your identity when entering a contest. Bit silly realy as most of us get to know peoples styles etc, and can pretty much guess anyway...but 'thems the rules' :)

Oh fabulous!! This is perect for the Beatles Contest. This is a contest that's has been hanging around for ages, I'm hoping yours will get things moving. We can but hope! I wish you all the very best in this. I have a feeling this should do very well. Goodluck

Great song Scott!! Very powerful and tells a meaningful story. Really love the whole feel to this. Would be great for TV/Film. One site that I have just discovered that might interest you is https://www.songtradr.com/ You can put music forward for consideration into TV/Film. It's FREE to.

Best wishes..Kerri

Very pretty piece with much potential as I can sense the emotion coming through in your playing. A very lovely piece as it stands, but if I may make a suggestion, I would say that you need to experiment and expand your range of chord changes, and vary it just a little to give it a bit more depth and overal interest to the listener. Keep up the good work!

I think this is a really beautiful song which, I would say has commercial value. Understated instrumentally, which works well with this, as all the attention is focused on the lyrics, which are excellent. Maybe mid way through you could have introduced a soft string backing just to add a bit of added contrast and interest, but that being said, I think it works very well as it is. Are you singing as well? If so you have a really lovely voice!
