what can i say that hasnt already been said :D not alot well done.
Mary this is a Wonderful Song, what great vocals.Great music and Production Too...
Excellent feel and production to the whole track. I would have put the effects on your voice a little different in this one, but the singing is quality as it is with all your tracks. The chorus really drives this heart warimg tune. On second thought I would keep the current effects during the chorus, but would change them to be a little cleaner (less reverb/echo) during the verses. However, this track is really a winner all around.
Very touching and heart-felt song! What a extraordinarily talented sing and songwriter you are. Great production!
This is gorgeous, Mary. The whole song and all its elements are wonderful.
A beautiful heartfelt song powerfully sung, glorious arrangement & instrumentation & that voice, WOW! Excellent contemporary and special.
Now this is beautiful..real nice mate, peace.
This is wonderful.
MOre fine work - great production great performance excellent tune! 10/10 -->>NickD

Thank you Mary. Your voice and touching words have brightened my soul. I can't get enough of this song. God Bless!
A reminder that we are never alone no matter how bad things get. Great motivating song. Sensational voice and terrific music.
You're one talented lady. The music style isn't my bag exactly but I can still appreciate good lyrics and song structure. Cheers, Derek
Gripping, emotionally captivating with beautiful melodic voice. Background music heavenly. This song is inspirational in that listeners can relate to words. Congratulations to an up and coming musician. You've captured my attention and admiration.
Excellent, a lovely, melodious song. My compliments to the lady. She sings with her heart. Gorgeousglad
Beautiful, dynamic voice. Instrumentation complimented melodic vocals. Pleasing to the ear. Excellent! A song that I would listen to over and over again.
A lovely song, sung by a lady with an equally lovley voice. A hint of country in there, with a sad lilt to it. Very well played & produced too. ;) Clive aka Spyda
Mary's CD
will be released
this fall 2006!

Born in Ontario, Canada, the happy and energetic middle child of seven children, Mary's first start in the performing arts was at an early age taking ballet lessons and performing at the Eaton's Auditorium in Toronto, Canada. Although unable to pursue her dancing career, Mary enjoyed school performances and later studied music where she later played a musical instrument in a concert band. Mary loved to sing and would accompany known artists on the radio or television by harmonizing or singing along with them. It was not until her introduction to a friend, an opera singer, who encouraged Mary to combine her talents of singing and writing that she found her forte. He instructed Mary in her singing and introduced her to a small annual production where she participated in dance, skits and chorus. Her last two years in the productions were marked with her astounding solos and skilful talent in writing musical compositions for four part harmonies. Although Mary has continued to study guitar and writing composition, she has assisted other artists, including teachers, with her vocal and writing abilities in the recording industry. For many years she has been a back up artist for various bands and participated in charitable events and organizations. Mary follows in the footsteps of family members with various artistic talents such as writers, painters and musicians, including her second cousin, Blake Fordham, also known as Kelly Jay, from the well know band, “Crowbar”. Of the many artists who inspired Mary in her singing and writing career, are names such as, Faith Hill, Celine Dion, Amanda Marshall and Linda Ronstadt stand out. Although Mary likes the new country style of music, her vocal and writing talents have developed to other areas such as soft rock and blues. Two first place trophies in singing competitions in Toronto, Canada attest to her gifted and natural ability to inspire her audiences with emotion. Mary’s dream is to one day write music for a major production and also simply for people to hear music and lyrics and connect with her emotionally on a musical level. Mary continued her dream of writing and singing with her husband Ray Bonin (RBA Records) and was soon to release a CD of her own original compositions. On Feb. 9, 2006, Mary slipped on some ice in the parking lot of the local hospital, on her way into work. She suffered a complex acetabular fracture of the left hip. Despite the many efforts of her husband, family and her family doctor, to get her the immediate treatment that she deserved; the system kept her waiting for surgery which caused her to develop a fluid overload in her lungs. The health care system that she so proudly served, failed her and she tragically passed away on Feb. 23, 2006. Mary sadly did not get to see the final product of all her efforts and dreams ... the release of her own CD of original compositions and being asked to write the music for a Broadway play.

Mary was selected by Music75 as Artist of the Week.
Her song "Here I Am" has played on France’s Music Box radio 92.8 FM, also playing on its world-wide web radio.
This song touched me, especially because the melody, that is so beautiful, and the singer's voice that is terrific! I don't care about comment if the music can sell or not. Have a lot of garbish on the market thats sells a lot. And masterpieces that not. Injustice? yes. For me, this song deserve sells a lot because the music quality that shows to me: is simple great. Congratulations al
The first MP3 Unsigned review this month is a collaboration between two of that sites bigger names - Canadian Mary Gottschalk and Belgian musician Drainage. Having reviewed and liked both of these artists output in the past, it kinda follows that I would be looking forward to hearing this collab. Mind you, it isn't the first time they have worked together. They have a colaborativ
Ready to Fly (Free falling) by Mary Gottschalk A quick check of Mary’s page and profile reveal two very interesting… (no, that’s the wrong word), …awesome facts. Mary joined MP3Unsigned on 23rd August 2004 so as I write this review she has been a member here for 362 days. During that time there have been a little over 19,500 views of her page. Let me just say that again in case you didn’
For those who don't know me I'm an avid listener of new music and half of the duo Serenity here on mp3unsigned. When Mary offered her track up for review this month, I felt honoured. Having listened to many of Mary's songs and being a fan of her soft voice I was pleased to help. "My Inspiration" chosen for me by the artist. This track starts with a very smooth inst
A genre that is not what I would usually go out of my way to listen to, but taken on its own terms this is actually very good indeed in all aspects: the performance, the production, the songwriting are all top drawer. Mary has a wonderful voice that’s rich and powerful and capable of drawing the emotion out of every line. It’s not clear what Mary plays on the song, but every part of the arrangem
I have chosen to review Reality Come True, by Mary Gottschalk. Mary is a Canadien talent. From a young age, Mary seems to have had an artistic flare about her. As she is the middle child of seven, it is not surprising. I have often heard them referred to as the 'ignored' child. Not surprising she found a comfort in the music. A friend of Mary's introduced her to a small production, where Mar
