  Gloves off! Pulling the jersey over your headphones! Take that!

•  iocanepower 2 months ago

  Thanks for keeping an ear on us this month, Matt! Hope we kept you entertained.

  I'm still a mathematician at heart. Unfortunately, having forgotten the majority of the advanced maths I learned at university, I no longer feel worthy of the title.
  
  Then again, mathematician is a state of mind and way of seeing / doing things rather than simply a skill set. I AM still a mathematician. Thank you for helping me clarify that

  Thanks for your comments on "Window"! I've been waiting to hear someone say they had to turn around at the end But the bit about telling people that someone on Facebook is your wife....that was meant to be androgynous. I wrote the song about when I, personally, stalked a woman. However, that particular line came from a show I watch, when a man unexpectedly called another man his "wife". Just a bit of personal inside humor.

  Allloooo! For the YouTube vid, use the URL in the URL bar, not the "shared" one

•  ange 2 months ago

  really, do not worry over it, if it is to be it will be

•  ange 2 months ago

  Hiya, how are you? any joy with the song?

• marijequerida 3 months ago

  thanks for your comment means alot

•  ange 3 months ago

•  ange 3 months ago

  I'd love it if you had a go at the lower vox I tried for over an hour with your song, actually did fit the harmonies in, but they simply didn't add anything and took some of the songs volnerability away. Really would have liked to do a collaborative with you so if you can make 'the old maiden' work then that'd be awesome

•  ange 3 months ago

  I tried, but failed... They added nothing and just didn't work at all sorry. It is a beautiful song, maybe it should just remain untouched, as it was when I fell in love with it

•  ange 3 months ago

  Oh my, congrats on the win! I'm really hoping to get a vocal on your song this week hope that's still ok

•  valeriecox 3 months ago

  Thanks for the comments Matt. I hope you don't feel too dirty now.

•  valeriecox 3 months ago

  I can school you on NSFW if you'd like.

•  leslie 3 months ago

  Blame @Devin equally for that. The Princess Bride project is responsible for 9 songs so far (with 7 more to come). Another 2 just went up. And anyway, I totally am.

•  billysea 3 months ago

  It was very cool

•  billysea 3 months ago

  Hey Matt, you did a beautiful job with that. Thanks so very much : )

•  billysea 3 months ago

  Hi Matt, absolutely. Please do. All of my lyrics are fair game to anyone even if I have or will put music to them. And with my schedule this month I'm not even sure what music I will or will not get to. Feel free to modify the lyrics as you need to fit your music and style. Thanks my friend

•  ange 3 months ago

  I will have a go as soon as I get a chance, no promises they will be worth using but I will try it is a lovely song.

•  ange 3 months ago

  Aww, thank your for you kind words, even your comments are poetic

•  akajoe 3 months ago

  Gee I just noticed I have messages! I'm in a hotel for work this week, which is great for writing, though I wish I could go sit outside with my guitar. I've got some songs on the way, thanks!

•  lara 3 months ago

  Hey Matt- I have a friend in Turkey who sent me the zurna. I do want to try to get it into a song this year, I'll keep you posted! Wish I was talented enough to carve one myself, but I only have time to work on so many skill sets at once! I do have instructions for making a ney (Arabic flute) out of PVC pipe, but I haven't tried it out yet.

• happyprospector 3 months ago

  YAY! woohoo! thanks so much for doing this! It sounds great!

• happyprospector 3 months ago

  Yay! Well I'm happy to hear it! Go ahead and post it whenever you're ready

• happyprospector 3 months ago

  So I updated my flash player, but the song still won't play! I'm sure whatever you came up with will be great and you can go ahead and put it up

• happyprospector 3 months ago

  Hey Matt! I need to update my flash player so I haven't been able to hear the song! so once I download the newer version of flash I'll let you know what I think haha

•  francesriley 3 months ago

  You funny!! The guy I was thinking of actually had all his teeth (I think) but you're right, that's definitely where it could have gone.

•  marklberry 3 months ago

  Matt,
  Excited to work with you. Sent you an e-mail.
  Cheers, Skal, marklberry

•  kenficara 3 months ago

  Very true, Matt! On the other hand, you can't play the dulcimer with a girl on your lap...

  Hey Matt! I'm super excited to hear what you can come up with on my silly song Let me know if you have any questions or anything!

•  dasbinky 3 months ago
