There's so much expressive longing in your voice - it really makes this song special. Besides the Lips - I hear what Kurt C. might have sounded like if he were still here. Beautiful tune - I'm a sucker for minimal acoustic piano backing. |

ahhhhhh....haunting..... Enjoyed this one! Bewitching, sad and dramatic. Your singing was great and I liked your nice harmonies. Perfect time of year for this one. Great job throughout Michael! |

haunting i'm very impressed by this. all the parts go together so well, i would not change anything about it. to me, this song has a feeling similar to "somthing in the way" by nirvana--of all things. excellent. cheerz, -=ez |

this is amazing, Michael! Congratulations, man. This one is the best of your "piano and voice" songs.Hell, it even beats "outside", which I love! So hauting and beautiful, this one reminds me of Radioheads "How I made my millions"...another chilling and sad masterpiece, just like yours! |

a lonely place Hints of Thom Yorke, but really his is all you. Lovely broken vocals, funereal pace , the mood of this falls on you like a curtain. Beautiful and tragic .... man, you really have talent to peel off gems like this. steve |

you know whats missing? I think some guitar would set this off. A nice slow drum too. This track has a lot of potential. |

Those harmonies Yeah, you have a great voice, and you have put together some sweet harmonies. The easy flow of the piano/keys suits the phase of his tune very well. Such a great production. You have a new fan:) |

Illustrious. Mikey this tune is fab. So ethereal on the voice and sweet harmonies I'm hearing the Floyd but it's essentially you - primo. Fuck all that 'stop with giving tens' in the Forum... this gets Bonnie Prince Johnny's Royal Seal Of Approval - I kid you not. I like the chick in the artwork but personally I prefer blondes. I Be calm and kind. |

Excellent Beautiful and heart-wrenching, as others have said. You have a very nice expressive voice. And a nice airy arrangement with plenty of space for the notes to ring out. Very fine stuff! |

10-ed, fav'd and dl'd one of my favorite of yours. Besides the voice, I especially like the organ coming in, the string arrangement and the drone at the end. |

Universal melancholy Nicely played and touchingly sung. Excellent work. The lyrics have a universal quality to them. They transcend the specific storyline. In fact, if you hadn't informed that this referred to the Salem Witch Trials - I would've never guessed that. My immediate thoughts turn to the current war in Iraq when comprehending the lyrics. A palpable sense of melancholy hangs over this song. It's a real mood piece - evoking a sense of profound loss. |

Haunting deja vu Very cool song. (Haunting!) I hear a lyrical acoustic guitar solo over the final coda, fading, like the single voice of a woman slowly being drowned, but heard one last plaintive time... |

See I new you could write lyrics. Awesome writing too.This one is certainly fully wrote. Great singing as usual. Regards p.s. for some reason when you sing "all the smoke" I'm hearing "holy smoke" but Im always hearing stuff wrong. |

Total amazement! i'd be lying if I didn't say this was a mighty fine song here. I have always liked your voice and this is certainly no exception. Great vocals. Songwriting is incredible as well. I don't know the original but I am sure you have managed to boost its splender quite a bit. Very peaceful. Great great great work here my friend. To the ipod this goes. |

What a hip sound Great songwriting and wonderful performance. Perfect production and mixing. Outrageous lyric! It all works so well. Nice! The Harmonies are so mysterious. The piano is so hauntingly upright. It puts the song in another world. Kind of like an an empty house with a mad man playing at the end of a long dark hallway, where the light dies out and the player is dressed in a cape with only a candle lighting the piano keys.The candle light flickers and dances to the melody like a ghost, across the moonless sky... (as you can tell the tune put me right in the mood...) I live in Mass not far from Salem and I've been catching lots of info about Salem lately, maybe cause its near Halloween, but in previous years I didn't pick up on all the commotion. I want to go for a visit. This has taken me on a journey to its own place and I have faved and downed it, Thanx. I'm a new fan and will check out some more of your music asap peace tim |

Man..... I don't know how to express it. With my eyes closed I let this one take me wherever it saw fit. This is above and beyond, even for you. Chilling and haunting and all that stuff I like, but also very touching. Not in a cheesy, sentimental Hallmark way though. From top to bottom this song reaches out and grasps firmly everything within me. It's a pleasure to be in your company sir. -EM |

Fantastic! Not only is the song perfect, but the subject matter is so good. Now that I'm happily married and a proud father, songs of unrequainted love just don't work and I'm moving more toward historical pieces. This is a huge inspiration because it is so well executed. It does more than just tell the story, it offers painful insight. |
