Whenever we hear of our songs being performed live - on-stage, we get giddy.  Clare phoned and advises she’s put together a band and choir to perform our Song Of The Earth at St. Anne’s Pumpkin Festival in September in St. Anne Illinois.  If you’re in the area, come say HI! 

We are prospecting to videotape the performance.  The organizer of this event wants to record and send the song to Al Gore because of his work with the environment.  It is a very moving piece.  We have a simple demo in the music player at our main MySpace.  Please give it a listen.

If you perform one of our songs, please advise us.  We want to videotape you and build our music video catalog.

Peace & Green days.

SONGS2SHARE Is Here For You (Client E-mail)
Category: Music

Occassionally I get mail from songwriters that move me in a very good way.  A special way.  Here is an e-mail exchange that moved me today.

Hello David, When I first started co-writing songs with Clare about 7 years ago, that first time I heard her piano to my words brought tears to my eyes as well.  I know that feeling.  I still get it today with some of the emotionally moving songs I co-write.  We recently finished a song titled HEAVEN inspired by my new daughter in law’s cousin’s unexpected passing.  The song is meant to be sung when a love is lost and upon hearing my lyric set to melody, it too brought a mist to my eyes.  Songs are powerful. 

Being able to help give you that same experience is a blessing for me.  Believe me, I have tears welling up right now as I read your e-mail.  I’ve had a few other composers be WOWed by other artists working their songs and then when they heard the song, it was like – an emotional experience for them.  Most songwriters I work with are early in their careers and hearing their song fine tuned is very exciting for them.

Thank you so much for this e-mail.  I am on the lyrics this weekend.  You did right to shorten the song.  I think it’s the perfect length for the message.  You may upload As Sparrows Fly at the S2S website anytime. 

Fondly,

Roberta Annicks

Good Evening David, I’m listening to your Break My Heart and loving it a bit more each time.  I don’t expect you to do anything until I’ve had time to study the lyric.  Did you receive Schroeter’s piano accompaniment?  What did you think?

I love the intimacy of your vocal and guitar.  It’s great.  I also hear a dramatic sounding piano song as well.  We can go either way or both.  This is a great song. 

Fondly,

Today we received a song upload submission at the Songs2Share.com website.  It is from a songwriter who sent a couple songs several months ago and then went on vacation.  Listening to his newest submission made me think how special it is to have songwriters submit their music for us to give comments.

It is really an honor for me to listen to your songs.  It is also a pleasure.  As a lyricist, I understand how these songs are expressions of what is going on in our personal lives.  All writing is biographical.  So when I listen to a song titled, “You’re Going To Break My Heart” I can imagine my own situation where I felt someone was going to break my heart.  Then I can advise an angle into a line the songwriter might like. 

We share the same emotions, though they are brought up by our personal experiences.  A lot of my own co-writes are love songs.  Some are happy love and some are broken heart love.  I never tire of love songs.

It is truly an honor to critique your music.  It is our goal to get your music performed.  We’ve had a hundred and ten songs uploaded thus far.  Thanks for each and every beat of them.  Cheers!  Keep the river flowing.

Here is a recent e-mail I sent off:  

Hi Terry, I am in receipt of your current MP3 for Make A New Start.  After listening, my first comment is this melody is very different from the other one.  I’m sending it to Guilherme for review.  I’ll get back to you when I hear his comments.  I have my own and am curious what he will say. We had a rehearsal in my front room this afternoon.  We are recording vocals in the studio soon, over the .wav piano track of The Graduate Cheer which Guilherme & I co-wrote, and he sent over the Internet from Brazil.  I want to have a fuller vocal recording for the Songs2Share debut CD.  It was really a good time.  Matthew, who was coming over to sing harmony brought his guitar.  Tia, who was tuning our guitar broke the g string.  When Matthew got here, he couldn’t practice the song until he put a new g string on our guitar. Somewhere in the rehearsal, Tia asked Matthew to play some riffs for her song.  She proceeded to play Two Left Feet on the guitar, singing while Matthew played percussion on his acoustic guitar, and then he played lead or embellishment.  It’s a good song.  S2S will help Tia get a good recording of her song.  I had a great time.  I am determined that when we move next month into our own house, I’ll be able to get up some musicians to visit and work songs in our front room regularly. Keep on that piano.  I’ve still got You Can Be Anything sitting in the files. Cheers ~ Robertawww.Song2Share.com

A New Music

Augi:  I cleaned my room.

Roberta:  We should have a party!  I did something great today too.  I finished the first Songs2Share Inc. business plan.

Augi:  What does that mean?  You get money now?

Roberta:  I have to send it out first.  After a year and a half of working on this business program, I have finally finally put down on paper what it is we do, what we want to do and how we are going to do it all.

Augi:  So you finally know what you’re doing.  That’s good, that’s good. 

Roberta:  Yeah, I finally know what I’m doing.   :-) That’s a reason to celebrate!
