STEVE, Thanks for stopping by and the nice comment, I listened to your music some and its amazing. Your guitar sounds great and your vocal even better. Thanks for the inspiration of your clean recordings.
hay mate, just got the cd this morning, so much for postal strike, thanks very much for sending it, listening now and sounds great, not heard the first song before but impressed and will be hitting you back in a few days with a review.
well, music is a massive part of my everyday life and i cant survive 1 day without playing guitar or piano or porn. Had not much work on so keepin me busy.
i hope there's some songs on your cd from last year when i discovered your music, cant remember the names, but Alive anywhere is something else, the lyric u turn to me, so listlessly is one of the most beautiful things ive ever heard.
Beautiful voice and beautiful music Steve! I could just tell by you profile picture that you would be amazing:) Weird, but true! Thanks so much for the invite! So glad to meet you!!! Please check out my music at www.myspace.com/livingheadless or www.livingheadless.com . Take care Steve! Keep on making Magic!!! Later, Alex:)
Thanks Steve....Wow!! Your music, playing, and vocals are wonderful. Love 'alive anywhere" and 'see the line'....but I love everything else, also. Wonderful music and playing. 'We don't wanna know', 'Glisten', and 'In Danger'....fantastic! I'm gonna add you to my top friends because I want others to here your wonderful artistry. There are a lot of talented writers/musicians on myspace but only a few that touch and move me. Your music surely does that and more. Glad to have you in my circle of friends! You are a rare talent my friend. Wishing you all the best. Peace. ~Donald
It was Icarus, from itunes. It said that Glisten was playing, so i tried looking up the song when it was over and could only get the instrumental version on your myspace page. It may have been another song but it was really good. I just listen to the Reverbnation playlist instead. Keep singing
dude, was surprised by how fragile ur singing style is, the high voice i mean,not that it's weak. quite folky-sounding but not, um, conservative. shy away goes on tangents i didn't expect it to...a progressive rock, 70s sort of vibe, overall, the songs...? they have a demo-ish sound but in a good way. anyway, will listen more ere long, added 2 many friends lately and am catching up. disgraceful. cheers,k
Hey Steve! How nice of you to stop by and sharing your music with me. Your voice is beautiful, and you really have a genuine expression in your performances. I think. Be well and take care! Best, Carolina
hi steve, hope ur good, been listening to ur stuff again, sounds amazing, u have the greatest voice and ur lyrics mean alot, i played it to my miss's and she nearly cried, moving stuff. I saw u walk past my flat the other day, it certainly looked like u, was gonna shout out but seeing as we've never met and i dont even know what u look like i thought id look a bit like a stalker, still ur stuff is amazing, would be cool to record u some time, take care mate, keep up the music. FIF forever.
