I don't know if Nadia shared with you, but I told her that new line in the chorus, "if your love is meant for me my friend" really floored me. It made the whole song that much more real and powerful. Thanks for letting me sing it.

Hi Kristi. I'm so glad you like what I did with “Love You Back”. Nadia mentioned possibly shortening the chorus. If you all want to do that, I'm certainly happy to re-sing it. It's quite a nice song.

Hi Kristi! Thanks for your comments on "Too Much!" I never even considered a daughter-to-father song, probably because that's not exactly my relationship with my father, but it definitely could be my daughter to her dad. I might just try that!

Hey Kristi! Once again I owe you a big thank you for your nice feedback on "The girl with the sun in her eyes"! Thanks a lot for your kind words...

OK, I rewrote the offending line in Princess :)
See what you think now

""""Doesn't have a whole lot on" is an observation the singer makes that surprised me"""
LOL Kristi--That's the line I kicked around quite a while and finally left it cause I couldn't come up with a sub that I liked
Thanks for the lookover

Hi Kristi. So glad you like what I did with Waterfall. It's a great lyric. Thanks for letting me sing it.

Hi Kristy,

I really appreciate that, always glad to get feedback to help improve a song.

I'll rework that maybe next week, I still got 6 to go and decided I'm going to TRY and finish LOL!

Kristi,
Thank you so much for permitting me to record a version of your and Nadia's "Like a Waterfall/Looking at Waterfall". I was thrilled to hear from Nadia that you enjoyed my "rendition" of your fine lyrics.
wolf.

Thank you for your comment on my collab with Wyatt! I think that the idea actually came from one of my comments on his song. He had written a song called "two voices in my head" I told him it reminded me of the cartoons where there's an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other trying to convince the cartoon character to do things. It is fun how songs can be born just from simple comments and thoughts. Also, I loved doing that collab with you and Nadia. Your lyrics were absolutely gorgeous and so touching! :) thank you so much for letting my mom and I be a part of that!

Thank you so much for your beautiful comment Kristi on my music and Uschi's video for James' birthday.

You have a point on The Bridge in "Angel' Kristi.
I shall take he matter up with the Dawn Girl.
The hook is what comes from Dawn's earlier song but I've forgotten which song it was, but she undoubtedly knows

Hey, Kristi. I was looking through your lyrics today and got instant inspiration from a couple of them. I went ahead and made demos for them, so I wouldn't forget what I had in mind.

The songs were "The Life I Came Here For" and "If I Could Do Anything." I don't know if anybody else is working on these, but if not, I'd be glad to upload what I made.

Hi Kristy,
another familiar name from JPF, and you're doing awesome!

Thanks for listening to Here's To The 50/90er's. You are right about songs. I have carried music in me for longer than I can remember. My mom said when I was about 2 or three, she worked in a restaurant and I used to get up on the counter in my cowboy boots and sing these boots are made for walking for the customers. LOL!

Oh.yesh. thanks on 50, but I figure I owe it 3 more for about 3 that don't really qualify

Kristi, thank you very, very much for your nice comment! I enjoyed in reading it, you are really too kind!

Hmm this looks like my last one :)
Thanks on Sweet Talk .
I rewrote the first two verses into one.
It's probably a mite short now so I may add to it

DonatedWinner  wyatt

Well, I rewrote the first V and rearranged the song :)

DonatedWinner  wyatt

Thanks on The picture Kristi.
I changed stories to paper--he was just idly going through it till he saw her picture, but I,can hardly say Picture" in then first V cause it'd steal from the Chorus--There's probably another way But I haven't found it yet.
On "wealth", probably not the normal use but it's sometimes said "He had a wealth of knowledge" or something similar to thst

Hi Kristi, you are very welcome, I love your lyrics very much! Thank you for your kind words, to be honest getting 50 is not as important as posting really good work and that's what I see on Your page. I'm sure you'll get to 50 though as you post quality work and you are very productive too! I admire your talent!!!

You have a point on "Stars" Krusti. Some of the most enduring--standard type song jump right smack dab into the action ,
I might just do that, if I could come up with a short Bridge to stick in there somewhere,
My Chorus is also pretty long but hadn't figured how to shorten it. About half of it it tied up with the hook and repetition of it though
Thanks for the thoughts

DonatedWinner  wyatt

I changed the "Start" line in the C and the explosion in the bridge. Maybe can do better but at least better than it was
Thanks Kristi

LOL Kristi,
On Smoldering Fire, You caught two of the main points I was having trouble with. An indication of "Great minds, etc' " no doubt :)
Some good suggestions. I will present them to the muse tonight and by morning I hope that uh, beautiful, wonderful, cooperative, intelligent, (That oughta be enough, she's very suseptible to sweet talk) , spirit, has an answer for me :)

Thanks for the comment on my song with Nadia. Her playing is incredibly inspiring.

Thank you very much for your generous comment, Kristi! :-) You are very kind...

Ah, there you are!!!---The line in the 3rd V of "Land Beyond The Sky" meant they were both working and still couldn't get ahead, so I changed it to the below
"Both workin', still can't get ahead"
Then I noticed The corresponding line in V 1 didn't match u, so I changed it a little too
Thanks Kristi

Thank you so much for your kind comment on "Mt. Sunflower" :)

Hi Kristi! Thanks for feedback on "Circle of Sisters!" Though I haven't played it for my sisters, kind of want it to perfect before sharing it with them, and it's got a ways to go. But you suggestions will help get it closer!

Wonderland--I inflected the , uh, heck, outa' "come on" and changed the line a little--that line was getting a bit too long so I lengthened it's corresponding line a little also
"""""I didn't realize he'd gotten as far as dinner"""----She was hungry :)

DonatedWinner  wyatt
wyatt's picture

In "Wonderland", "I'll be go to hell" is an expression similar to "Well,I'll be danged" or "I'll be damned" BUT, it may not be that well, known so I changed it. and then tweaked the next line.
On "Dinner no dessert", well, uh, it means something like, He gets to take her out to eat but she, uh, tells him goodnight at the door.
Thanks for the comment

The "Them" in the C for Sighing ,was supposed to refer to the "Someone" in the C--their soul mate, lover from the past, or similar
Thanks for the comment

DonatedWinner  wyatt

Well,I'd never looked up the two axe handles thing--it was a line in "Big John" the old country song--
"In the shoulders two axe handles wide"--I didn't think I had room for all of it but seeing as they've kinda' corrupted it, I managed to to get it all in with =out messing up my head tune too much--Could be spoken anyway .
Thanks for the comment

Due to you and Jen's input, I farther modified the outro on Who Wouldn't. It now has the dubious honor of being probably the longest outro I've ever written. I like it. :)

DonatedWinner  wyatt
wyatt's picture

On Who Wouldn't, Yeah, I could mention some-----qualities about her :)

Thanks for letting me put music to "Moments"...I had a lot of fun working it out.

Heads up, I've got a demo coming at you by way of email.

Thanks, I'll let you know when I've got something going.

""""""""" I know that ending is a twist, but is he giving up because she didn't say yes right away?""""""""""
Jen thought it needed something also---so I added an outro.
Take a look at it if you get a chance
And thanks for the comment

DonatedWinner  wyatt

"""""but is he giving up because she didn't say yes right away? I may not have it right in my head, so don't go by me...lol.""""""""""""
On "Who Wouldn't"-----Oh,he isn't giving up! She's just giving him a hard time. She's gonna' come around you see--just wants to make him pay for "Oh, I don't know" :)

Hey, Kristi. Is "Moments" up for musical grabs? I've got an idea for it, though it's probably a little different from what I mentioned in my comment on the song.

Thanks for giving 'Moonlight Drifter' a listen. I loved working with Wyatt's lyric! Fun to think of something other-worldly for them!

Thanks for listening to A Good Day to Die! Lovely feedback :) I'm glad so far everyone seems happy that the uke works for this song - was a little nervous about it, lol.

Thanks for dropping by and sampling the jelly. Much appreciated.

Hi Kristi, the demo for A Good Day to Die is up if you want to have a listen :) http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/8115

Hello Kristi. Thank you very much for your comment on my lyric. I forgot to say there that any suggestions welcome so please feel free to let me know if you think it could be improved (I'm sure it can:))

Hey Kristi!! Thanks a lot for your very kind comment on "two souls"! I was very glad to read it this morning...

Thanks for the comments on my lyrics for Regressing Kristi, I'm glad you liked them ;)
