Thanks M I was going to post this a year ago but for some reason I didn't. I too am pleased that others have posted works for Rememberance Day. I hope that the younger generation will remember in years to come. Peter |

Moving stuff I've written a stage play (published) and a novel (unpublished) about the first world war so it's a subject I've immersed myself in on a very deep level, although really it's a horror almost beyond imagining. I have poppies growing in my garden which I collected from a former British trench on the Somme ... my own miniature garden of remembrance which regenerates itself year after year. Very sweet melody and nice guitar work here Peter, which conveys the pathos very well. |

nice I can see a WWI poppy field.Sounds like a song you could play live. Do you ever play live? I have one thing to say. Its that the bass is very very low.over than that. A great tune!! |

Reconsider drums You capture your guitars and vocals with wonderful clarity. The cymbals, however, are used with obvious MIDIness, especially coming as they do on emphasized beats, not in a way a real drummer would with this sort track, I think. The snare and BD are very upfront, too, perhaps too much so, and could be sent back with a tad more reverb. This is an intimate tune and the machine-like exactness of the MIDI drumming detracts from your personal approach, in my ears. Very nice recording, however. |

Really nice song Hey I dig this song a lot! Hi quality composition! Many of the musical twists reminds me a lot of the work of Swedish songwriters, for example Ulf Dageby and Per Gessle. The latter is one of Swedens most celebrated artists and songwriters. But I guess his work isn't well known outside of Sweden. (Well he was also in the group Roxette, but in this group he has another musical language. Your work reminds me of the songs he's done in the Swedish language). Strangely enough I've only listened to one of your songs before. I am glad I came back to you, and am now faving you so I can get mail notations as soon as you create something! |

somber Somber and sobering. Sadness expressed in a wonderful way. Caught the mood of this overall feeling with that steady guitar and repeating figure. Good work on this one. |

Hi again Hi again. The MJ mail system doesn't work on Safari right now, hasn't been working for at least a week I think. A temporary solution is to use Firefox if you want to read your mails (as well as give replies in the forums). |

Intoxicating great sound, hooks my ear immediately. I was playing along before the second verse. Very Nice. I'm a nurse at a Veteran's Hospital; they miss their brothers, they carry the tears over all the years. Good Job. |

Beautiful sentiment and very well expressed in the lyrics. The images you evoke in the lyrics (while sad) are vivid and powerful. I love the idea of how a veteran of WW1 would view the world today. A very thought-provoking approach to the subject. Love the guitar sound and playing on this - there is a mournful mood there (whether from the notes, the playing, or the sound, I don't know). Nice clear sound on the production, and lovely vocal. Very nicely done. Sorry it's taken me so long to get here! Peace. |

Pow'ful Not too clumsy at all. Nicely done, wonderful arrangement an delivery. Lyrics are both sincere/emotive and poetic without a whiff of triteness. |

For the time being, and beyond that... This is a strong lyric and you have a clean, clear way of singing, as if you know exactly what you want to do there. I can hear the accent and it way classy! It doesn't seem that we'll ever learn a better solution to conflict than war. Thanks for remembering. |
