People are always talking about being afraid to post fearing criticism. Criticism is like fertilizer. It may stink but it helps the plant grow. I have posted this song on songwriters forums and have heard all different suggestions. but in the end its all about the process of writing and recording...the journey. After the song is written and recorded. It is of no use to me. If other gain something from it. Great. If not.Great.


Recorded this at home before I know what an Arranger keyboard was. Never took a lesson. I "hear" the parts them play them. Sold a lot of CDs of my own music during my 12 years as a Neil Diamond act. Go figure.

Wow.

Great Stuff! - Where's the rest of it?!?!?!?
For some reason I only got 2.32 of it.

Is that your own song? If it is, it's very well written, simple and solid - in a really good way. Very plaintive and emotional without being saccharine - nice.

Well done KF, very well done - nice production too - very hot master (volume wise) stands out a mile with a nice warm bottom end.

A question - did you sing that "as" Neil Diamond, or is that, essentially, your real voice?

Yep,
that was very nice!
I can't say anything more other than I admire that you play by ear.

It would be nice to hear something with an arranger backing.
Thanks for posting.

I didn't realize Neil Diamond had a new song coming out?

Frankly, I think your voice is better than Diamond's is...

good job, man..

Kingfrog excellent work. Some have it and some don't, you've got it, thanks for posting.

Man, that is some good stuff. I have to agree with Bill.
Merry Christmas!

Kingfrog ... YOU'RE GOOD !!!
thnx mch,
t.

...

good job...but better then a Legend like Neil?...

copy cat voices are always judged harshly just like SZ's beach bum & Sting....having your own original sound is what should be strived for so there's no comparison.

Anyway, Kingfrog real nice song, well done, thanks for sharing. Do you have anything that doesn't sound like Neil recorded?
