    I recently got a Ohana concert uke as a present. It's a sweet little thing which I find appealing but just looking at it is no good I'm no musician and I've never managed to play anything with strings before so I'm currently watching Youtube lessons for inspiration I'll let you know how I get on

    Hi Sean I hope you don't mind but I moved this video to the Musicians Lounge which seemed the most appropriate place than the Song and Recording Critique forum for this collection of songs. It's always good to see your videos - glad everything is going so well for you Jan

Apparently, there were 4,000 entries - winners are announced on 10th April. It's been fun taking part and also it's been great to hear what you all think of the song, I'm pleased you like it - at the end of the day, that's what songwriting is all about :) Jan xx

    Hi My main advice would be to try to stop being too self critical and comparing yourself to others. You will always have influences from your favourite bands but your music needs to come from within yourself and it will, if you allow it. As David mentioned above, there are plenty of musicians here who often upload short pieces onto the Song and Recording Critique forum so why not give that a try? There are also plenty of people here who have collaborated over the internet, which could be another option for you. Above all - never delete anything! Think of all your music, even the shortest snippets of ideas, as pieces in a jigsaw and that piece of sky you are searching for may already be there if you look carefully enough Good luck Jan

    An interesting question........! I have to agree with what John has said regarding the genre. Personally, I prefer deep and meaningful lyrics - but this hasn't always been the case! I remember owning a small collection of singles as a small child - typical singalong stuff kids love - 'Yummy Yummy Yummy' (I've got love in my tummy ) by Ohio Express, 'Sugar Sugar' by The Archies. Then I really started listening to the words of songs and spent my pocket money on such gems as 'Meet Me On The Corner' by Lindisfarne and 'Streets Of London' by Ralph McTell - I remember we had a whole school assembly dedicated to that particular song. I was reminded of this recently when I actually heard 'Sugar Sugar' playing on the local radio - after 43 years that's got to be a success! I am always fascinated by the late Andrew Gold's 'Lonely Boy' and how a song with such an upbeat melody can reduce me to tears every time I hear it. If I wasn't a native English speaker I wouldn't even know it was a sad song. Reading the lyrics to that song, I doubt many people would have used such an upbeat melody - but it works so well. I must admit that I would probably struggle to write down all the lyrics to some of the more recent songs I claim to like - probably because these days I struggle to read the print on CD covers. To sum up I would say, whilst melody is probably most the important to me - I do love a good story and if I can hear it, feel it or even see it I now consider that a bonus.

    Thank you, Daren Being a non-musician here, I keep expecting to be booted off the forum, never mind being made a Moderator, so I really am honoured. (ps. I tried to post my reply with two 'smileys' but I got a message saying I had used too many emoticons - thanks for those!) Jan

    I don't think I've seen a star rating higher than that of 'ABeautifulVirus' - aka Mr Daren Thomas Turner whose current rating is 192 - well done, Daren!!
