Description : I started this track last week. I used a sax solo by SlapJohnson and a great chord progression from thehandthatrocksthedeck for the ending. It has a bit of a retro sound like The Psychedelic Furs meats Phil Collins other loops I made with Demension LE in Sonar plus played real Guitars and Bass. The Drum Tracks are Simon Phillips from www.sessionloops.com Vocals by ME.

Got my vote for the category - what else to say? I'm listening to this 12 miles east of Aberdeen and it feels like indigenous music to me!

My vote for the rock genre in the all genre competition.OK Martin you know how much I like this track because its a complete package, I've already reviewed it but I'm back to give you my vote for the rock track in the all genre competition because of that there are a lot of great tracks in this category (including mine, lol) but yours has everything a true rock track should have including great lyrics and vocal performance. Your fan BigPete and good luck but you're already a winner.

Hi Sob, thanks for the mail about this track. I like the song! I have always been a fan of songwriters/musicians (Real instruments) if you get my drift. So this ticks all of the boxes. Sweet playing/arrangement and clear production helps the vocals sit just right... 10/10...

Cheers Slap...

Thanks for the kind review. Your sax loop fits this sound perfectly. I can't wait to use more of your loops. I am doing a track now that has your harmonica loops with a Stones feel. I will let you know when it is done.

Thanks again,

Martin

Hi there Martin,

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my rock tune....so I wanted to return the favor and check your tunes out as well.
I like the guitar sounds in this one as they are nice and clear.

Of course your vocals are very good as well. Has a slight rough edge to them, but I suppose it depends on the song your doing.
Anyways, a very nice job on this song and hope you'll make many mor.

this is a great track. you know who it reminds me of? dave matthews band. great composition. the drums are simple and dont overpower anything. i lot of feeling went into this i can tell. if only everyone put their heart and soul into their music as you seem to in this tune. i dont really have anything negative or constructive to say as you seem to have this down. keep it up! =]

Thank you so much, I like Dave Mathews so thanks for the comparison. I think I sang the song in about 6 or 7 takes and settled on this one, I also had a version with a double track that was okay. Thank you again for your kind review.

This song really has a lot of power, and your vocals really seal the deal! The song kinda makes me sad, and from your lyrics, it seems like this was intentional. I really like the orchestration and arrangement on this track. You have much talent! Keep it up!

Thank you for taking the time to review my track. I'm glad that you liked it. I call myself/Band Sob Story because I can't write happy songs, I have tried. I was once a serious addict so I can write about what I know. Thanks for all your kind words!

Hey, Thanks.
I would love to try and do some stuff together. I do think your voice shined on your acoustic track. But if you want to collaborate I would be honored.

Talk to you later,

YESSS A NEW TRACK, first thanks for the review on The Traveller, coming from my favorite singer songwriter performer right now, first again please be don't be offended but this sounds a lot like the band Live and again thats good for me because again this is a band I respect a lot met them twice and they are genuine people, and your vocal performance again steels the show, your delivery is gut wrenching, the lyrics are pure poetry again, I don't know what they put in the water in Seatle but people their are great poets , from Hendrix to Cobain and even the ones who are still alive, lol, you don't have to die young to be a artistic genius and I get that vibe from what you do, I am a true fan and I wish you had some record deal or distribution deal because someone like you deserve to be out there. I truly mean this, to much crap gets tossed around by labels when they should be putting efforts in artist like you who has something to say knows how to package it in very accesible form, your tracks have a very pop sensetivity to them, girls will like your music because of that, and I know what girls like,lol. Anyway your a great artist, thanks for the second track now waiting for the third, lol.

Man...Its hard to know what to say to a review like this. I am honored that you feel so strongly about my tracks. I have been doing stuff for years with bands and solo stuff. I was kinda stuck in a box for awhile thinking I had to please everyone...now I just doing anything in any style and just having fun. I found this site and I am really inspired to make music and collaborate with people.
You, and everyone else are making me feel very welcome. I can't wait to upload more and work with others.
Thanks for your support.

Thanks allot. It is funny the you mentioned the Stones because I am working a track with a very strong Stones feel right now using a Keith Richards tuning (Open G) on my Telecaster and some Harmonica loops by SlapJohnson. I hope you like that on as well.

Thanks again,
Martin

Description : "Celebrate the Cornerstone," penned by Kay Matteson, John Matteson, and Richard Shekari, is an uplifting contemporary worship song that beautifully encapsulates themes of salvation and divine love. Drawing from biblical imagery, the lyrics highlight Jesus as the Chief Cornerstone—initially rejected but ultimately essential to faith.
