  Hey, Roel! What a wonderful surprise and an honor at the same time! First of all, thank you so much for your generous comment! Although FAWM is over I was able to add you as collaborator, however, I could not upload the link to FAWM for some reason as it always shows "invalid link"... (if you like, please, feel free to try again)... Even though I could not upload it to FAWM, I was able to download it to my pc and listen to it... Thanks a lot! You are a great artist and a truly virtuous pianist... I always enjoy in your compositions and piano and also in this case... You wrote such a beautiful song and lovely performance, I like it a lot! Thank you so much, Roel!

• musicjoy 2 months ago

  Hey Roel, I saw your post of my song. I actually did respond on your soundboard that I was working on a melody myself. I'm glad you liked the lyrics so much. I'm writing it in a different direction, so it was neat to hear another person's take on my lyrics! Very nice piano. All the best to you with your music. ~ Joy

• codex 2 months ago

  Hey Roel, of course I don't mind if you work on it after the deadline, I have some lyrics for the chorus now and I am kinda done, but would happily change them if you have better ones. If you want a copy of anything new I've done to the track, just tell me what you need.

• musicjoy 2 months ago

  Roel, Thanks for the kinds words on my song. I'm actually working on a melody for it myself, but I appreciate the offer. I listened to your music and you have a really unique sound. I agree with someone else who said you have a David Bowie vibe. Very Cool. Good luck on the challenge. I won' be making the 14 but enjoyed trying. All the best ~ Joy

  hee heee hee...:)
  Well, given your tracks 5-11, looks like I'll have much to listen to in March.
  Please make a note to let me know when they're up and ready to hear.

•  jnadon 2 months ago

  Thanks so much for the comment on "Much Love"... I appreciate it. We didn't get a chance to collab this year, but hopefully we'll be able to work on something again in the future.

• codex 2 months ago

  Thanks for the piano and vocals! Sure, I'd for you to have a crack at true blue, I'd love to here how you get on with it. I will take another swing at it once I finish the new song I'm working on, and then finish Someone Still Cares. I hope that between us we can do something with it, because I think there is a good song in there somewhere.

•  thetau 2 months ago

  I like your style. You could help me improve in areas I 'm weak. check out my song list then send email, if you want a collab. I'm still working after the FAWM

• codex 2 months ago

  Hey Roel, sorry to have to ask but I could really use some really honest feedback on a song I'm working on *28947, and I would appreciate your input.

• codex 2 months ago

  Thanks Roel, if you can just chuck it over to me at david_hilton@hotmail.co.uk, and if you can get me a piano part before the weekend, I would be happy to replace my slightly out of time one

•  ellenpliss 3 months ago

  hi Roel - thanks so much for helping out on the song w/Codex! I can't wait to hear how it turns out!!!

• codex 3 months ago

  As always your are far to kind and I'm not sure my head will fit through the door. It would be great to get your voice on and add an international feel to the news reports and I want to lair as many voices as possible over the chorus. Also any ideas or recordins for piano parts or any instruemental parts would be most appreciated as your skill in this area far suppass my own.

• codex 3 months ago

  Also would you be so kind as to lay down a few newsreader bits for someone still cares, as well as a vocals over the chorus.

• codex 3 months ago

  I listened to it a second time because I really liked it. If you want to get the vocals to sit a little better I would try a tad less reverb, the wet/dry mix on it is usually really low, between 4/7 on the reverb I use. What mic do you use?

• timepatty 3 months ago

  Hi Roel! I absolutely love the song! You're so amazing! I can't thank you enough for doing this!

• katrinia17 3 months ago

  Oh Roel, would love to hear what you got but to be honest, I got several songs done or close to done and I a couple that brought you to mine (more of a blues feel to them). Contact me via email: katrinia17@yahoo.com and let me know. I love to work with ya. Hugs!

•  nicksypniewski 3 months ago

  Roel, so glad you liked We Drive Me Crazy. Ellen's words usually lead me to better than my average output. Encouragement about my singing also appreciated, but honestly, I wouldn't wish for me OR Bob Dylan to sing this particular song... Thanks again.

• wolfkier 3 months ago

  Roel,
  Thank you for such an encouraging and supportive message.
  I'm thrilled that you took so much time discovering my music AND that you enjoyed it so much! High praise indeed! I'm humbled and flattered.
  Winter Morning Sun is EVEN more relaxing without the crackle.
  wolf.

• katrinia17 3 months ago

  Awww, Roel, you are back! Missed you! Hugs-Kat

• timepatty 3 months ago

  Wow, you are so super amazing for doing this! Added you as colab!

• timepatty 3 months ago

  Sure, go ahead

• the3queens 3 months ago

  So sweet making my music stereo! I wish I had more time in February...I'm accompanying for one musical and auditioning for the next. It's my busiest time and not a whole lot of hours to waste figuring out computer glitches and sound problems. Lori

•  oneslowtyper 3 months ago

  Hi Roel, I am happy to have you share and stream our collabs wherever you wish. The more people that hear our music, the happier I will be.

•  musicsongwriter 3 months ago

  Hi Roel, you surprised me with your comment. I don't think you can say that my music reminds you of yours while I uploaded mine 9 days earlier then you. May be you wanted to say that we had similar motif in our minds. Personally I think our compositions are very different, don't you? Enjoy FAWM.

•  oneslowtyper 3 months ago

  The wait was worth every minute Roel. I went back into the lyrics and edited them so they match the words you sang so lovely.

• codex 3 months ago

  You know I'm happy to help out where (and if) I can, feel free to kick anything my way if you want some suggestions.

•  oneslowtyper 3 months ago

  I'm so glad to see you here Roel, and can't wait to hear what you come up with. I'm also glad I came out of the gates ready to work this year. Last year I joined right in the middle of the month, so having 29 days is going to seem like a luxury. LOL

•  musicsongwriter 3 months ago

  Hi Roel, nothing to be impressed about lol, yes the music is on the sites... nothing more then that haha. Always interested in your ideas.
  Thank you for your nice opinion about my music I like your songs!

•  musicsongwriter 3 months ago

  Hi Roel

•  ellenpliss 3 months ago

• codex 3 months ago

  Hey Roel, hope your back this year to provide us with more piano based tunidge.
