Goof = good ofcourse :) typo, my bad.
Goof stuff, really like how the vox is placed in the whole piece. Very Accessible, good combination between the sad lyrics and the positive melody. Rated. TR_
This is still my favorite tune at MP3Unsigned!
GREAT LYRICS AND SINGING! I enjoy the vibe of the song - taking the rough times in stride... nice tune. I like it a lot!
That's one catchy chorus Craig...not heard this before...nice.
real nice thank you
Another bloody good track. I like its structure and content...
really like the catchy chorus on this one mate, well done (and cheers for your kind words) tim
Sometimes I am glad I miss tunes by great artists. THis is one. Been moving and am sore and tired. This ought to get me in a good mood to get up and off my ........R
I'm not sure about this track sorta sux!! LOL I JOKE this rox!! Nice vocals mixed with guitars!! very good, when the track kicks in is good!! bass is really nice!! very good work!! ARRANGED well. Rated also!!
Ahh man I love this song!!!! I wouldn't change a thing. It's perfectly low-fi mix to me. I love the backing vocals and the reverb on the guitar. Dam I wish I had wrote this Eric ') rated for sure! Bad Love Junkie
I started out pretty cynical about this one to be honest but as you listen it becomes clear that you've got a great, catchy song that could benefit greatly from a proper recording with someone who could bring out the best in you. It's a feelgood sing-a-long without being cheesy and the fact that it's about something as heavy as depression but remains so uplifting is a credit to you. I've been there too and the lyrics show your honest feelings at that time which is commendable. It's not a superb vocal and I'm not going to bulls*it you about that, I'd maybe suggest changing the key of it to suit your voice as it sounds a bit too high right now (stick a capo on..lol). The potential is there in your voice to sound great as you've got a passionate delivery and feeling behind it, just tame it and control it a bit more and you'll be sorted! Let me know if you get this re-recorded with a full band 'cause it's a great track.
Ya I've fell behind on my mp3unsigned listening time... Man this is good stuff... A good studio recording of this and it would be a potential hit. You have a great voice --a great range and expression. This song would work with a single acoustic guitar or wit a full band ... well done well written. Cheers rogue
quality songwriting, uplifting tune,could see this played on radio easily, get some studio time and record it m8.r'd
This is a nice song. It reminds me of that Oasis song at the beginning of the Royal family. The harmonies sound like the Beach boys. The vocals have great expression too. Great job!
You know what, man? I don't think I've heard this one from you. Sorry I can't tell how much better it is from the older mix. I'll comment anyway! :D It's a nice laid back song. If you were worried about the vocals, have no worries, man. It sounds pretty darned good. Maybe just a hair wider in the reverb would help but NO worries, man. It could very well be my speakers! :) The guitar is very harmonic. It sounds great. The background guitar sounds nice and neat. Very neato! You do have feeling in your tunes. Lots of it. This song portrays a feeling to me that you love to sing. Keep that, man. It's awesome to have that. The drums are nice and cha cha sounding. I like it. Goes very nice with everything else. Nice metals too! Great job here. All in all, Craig... Superb. I think I like this one the best! I really need to take the time to listen to more of your songs but from what I've heard from you, I like this one. It's coooo. The mix was very good. It all sounded fairly clear. I understood the song and the message was great. Have a rate, man. AND! A great day.
one my personal favs from you craig...its very much one them songs you find yourself singing even once its finished...reminds me of the royal family ....tv show not the family itself...the oasis track they used :)very catchy and more to the style of music i wish you would concentrate more on :) this to me is your style and one i look forward to hearing you do more of :) i wont go in to detail on things that could be done better...because its still a very strong song even with the very small imperfections :)top track dude thumbs up :) merry christmas
Awesome song, Probably one of the best I have heard on here. Real good feel to it and catchy chorus..just my type of music. The only negative thing I could say is I think the song should end at bout 4 mins. I dont think it needs all the repeats after that really. But its awesome.
Hi Craig, liking the changes...and it still has that commercial appeal to it...good stuff mate :)
I like it. Nice easy to listen rhythm and catchy vox. Good theme easily related to by the masses. The only thing I might suggest is maybe a female backup singer would accentuate the chorus a bit. Would be great live. Could make a little section to let the audience sing it with the waving lighters and all :)
Excellent track Craig! Remember it well and it is an awesome 'party'style to it. I can imagine the audience lifting the roof off with this as they singalong!Rated Andy :)
The chorus tune is still stuck in my head, and I'm quite enjoying it. As usual, the song is extremely catchy, which is one thing I really like about your stuff. The only complaint I would have would be during the first part of the song when the music isn't quite as loud. There were a lot of thumps and puffs which sounded like you were a little to close to the mic. Your vocals did sound great, though. I agree with Redshirt in saying that this is your strongest work vocally. Anyways, thanks again for a another hit.
awesome comercial tune and I imagine this song with a live band.
im glad i found this track. I feel like this is your strongest offering vocally. Song is catchy. worthy of a rate. But it might be worth to do another take on the chorus parts. I feel like i hear some pitch issues in the harmonizing parts. good luck with it
intro immediately makes me think 'half the world away'. nice song
Hiya Craig, Catchy song, well written lyrics, nicely produced. I agree with LexieGreen, I can imagine people 'singing along' with the chorus parts when played live. Might be nice with a band type production too, though I like this - very simple and easy going to listen to. Nice work Craig.
This is pretty catchy. Not what I'd usually listen to, but I can imagine my foot tapping along with it playing on the radio in the background. Top job. I agree with raggy, get a decent band on that track and yer onto a winner.
very enjoyable,sing along song,reminds me of oasis. very fun song rated.
still sounds good to me!
sounds good to me! nice song with a nice melody, lovely chorus too! Get a killer band in there and this could hit the clouds.
Sounds better Craig....vocal better and guit works rather than the accordian.......reckon you should get this done professionally Craig and (no offense) get a singer in to give it some welly :) Kevin Mooney
I hear this live... clinking of bottles and everyone "singing along" it's very catchy... I like this... and I'm pleased you're OK now! Although if you write songs like this maybe we should get you all sad again! ;c) Gotta rate it!
Great songwriting mate -enjoyed tihs track - nice hook!
Great acoustic sound. I agree with the others on the melody and "hook" chorus. Great stuff.
Hi, This is catchy! Definitely toe-tappin' material. Cheers, Smudge from Smudgie
Hello Craig, I really like this song! It has a great and catchy chorus .. sounds like a "hook" to me.. I'm starting to sing along the melody in my head... Def. a great songwriting! I also like the rawness of the demo.. not "over produced" which makes the song more natural and believable.. Am I making any sence with my poor english? lol! Well anyway.. Love it!
Hi Craig, Love your songwriting. My foot is moving now my leg yep now my whole body is swaying. Got me hooked for sure
Hello Craig, Erin here from 'Faith' - just wanted to thank you for your kind comments regarding my vocal work. Much appreciated. Please do come and visit my official website on www.erinsimms.com sometime. God bless, Erin
Well this is going down very nicely with a cuppa this morning, yes very nice song with a good melody and hook, I like the rythm, and all round it's a very pleasant song, nice one, if I have any crit at all, perhaps a tad on the long side, but thats a minor thing as the hook carries it through. well done mate.
This song is amazing Craig!!!! Why didn't you scream at me to come listen...words are fabulous, emotion in vocal is first class and when I finished the song I wanted to start again which has to tell you something eh? RATED!!!
I agree Andy and Onager, swaying and tapping, also got some strange looks by passers by at the Internet Cafe :) Great little track, the lyrics hit a string with me. I know what it is like to be stuck in depression, music always saves me though. Peace and blessings Deborah
Great little track indeed.Love the harmonies as people have said "Arms in the air" swaying form left to right.. Great rack Andy :)
Nice little jaunty number, I was swaying away at my desk getting strange looks from the peeps at work :o) Very catchy. ONAGER
Craig - my favourite one of your tracks - loved the 1st version and love this one too - more please :D
even tho this is well out of my genre, i agree with the other comments below, its a very catchy tune, infact im humming away as i write this lol definately a thumbs up from me :)
Very catchty, love it. I agree with x-destri's comments whole heartedely, we need more. rated Baz
Nice catchy song, even though it's content lyrically is about being down the whole vibe is quite uplifting. Cool vocals and the lyrics are well thought out and catchy. We all need a little time eh ;)
awesome!love the catchy vocals.people dont realise how hard it is to put a hok into vocals,but you seem to def be able to do that.well done man.rated ya:)
Definitely the Hookmeister lol! Absolutely brilliant chorus! Kevin Mooney
yeah i can deffo hear travis...more so oasis if im honest ;) the chorus very much so...very catchy song dude...nice performance and cool vocals... :)i just said on another artist page that it was my new fav of theirs... im thinking the same here also thumbs up fella...top track
Steve at the time I worte this Travis were probably my fave band so I guess it rubbed off. Craig
superb! a little reminiscent of travis. Well played and arranged. great
Yeah dead catchy dude and some neat harmonies on yer vox too. Rated
Hey Craig, you're probably getting tired of hearing this but man, you are THE "HookMiester". :) Great tune.
I like your style, Craig! You write a good song, and your no slouch at performing them either. Particularly like the vocals, both lead and background, but it's all good. Well done, highly recommended.
hey i am mostly into electro styles but this appeals to me - its got a kind of optimism even though u r obv singing about deaper things, i like it m8 - r's.
Best thing I've heard you do, class song, chorus is sensational :) Rated and stuff :)
If your back catologue has tracks as good as these mate...bring em on, another catchy vocal hook, as with many of your tracks Craig, could easily hear this being played on the radio, excellent mate :)
(NO MORE) HAPPY ENDINGS. This is the second collab between Truj and myself, follow up to the MP3Unsigned Official Chart No1 'On The Road'. Once again Tommy wrote and performed all the music and I wrote the lyrics and performed the vocals. Tommy is also responsible for mixing and mastering. All comments and suggestions, good or bad, as always are greatly appreciated. Play this LOUD!!!
Please check out my latest track, Misery Loves Company. I'm really pleased with the way this one has turned out, definitely one of my best yet! Cheers Craig
Note: Same as always, going on the basis that a score of 10 is for a release level track with Bob Rock style production. First off, let me say that Craig is a damn fine guitarist - for a long time I only knew him as a song writer but the more of his stuff I've listened to the more I began to notice smatterings of really excellent guitar playing all over the place. I was excited to see tha
At this point in time, I have reviewed getting on for a dozen Pidgeman tracks and discovered that this rock based musician is generally worth listening to. Personally I still think he is capable of much, much more but his catalog of tracks on Mp3 Unsigned (and Soundclick) will show a very competent musician and songwriter, sometimes let down by the equipment he is working with. A
First track out of the MP3 Unsigned bag this month is the indefatigable (Ed: wooahh Gilmore!! Big words!) Pidgeman. Since I first met him while reviewing Misery Loves Company (September 2007 Pidgeman has been a regular visitor to my review schedule so at this stage of the game I probably have almost a dozen of his tracks reviewed. Although there is a fair smattering of Highly Recommend
Craig Matthews (aka Pidgeman) has been a regular on these pages for the last year or so and is actually quite a prodigious musician and out of the wodge of tracks I have reviewed has done well in terms of keeping my critical beast at bay. It helps considerably that most of the tracks this UK based musician writes are good, old fashioned rock tunes and I am amazingly biased that way. Th
Out of the seven or eight reviews I have done of Craig Matthews (aka Pidgeman) one thing becomes instantly clear, I like this musicians style even if I haven't found a track to rave about yet. That is obviously just a question of time of course, and the right combination of circumstances, but I feel fairly confident at this stage that this is an artist who definitely has a Must Have track lu
I was, am and always will be a big fan of rock music, from the Beatles and beyond rock has always been a constant in my own life. Which, as it happens, is pretty good news for artists like MP3 Unigned's Pidgeman considering that rock seems to be his meat and potatoes too. Consequently we haven't had a lot ofg trouble seeing musical eye to eye and some of his tracks have indeed been standout, par
Babylon is Doomed? Fucking A, as someone once said. Don't know about you mon, but whenever me hear dat Babylon t'ing I think of reggae. Not something I would automatically expect from Pidgeman, an alternative rock musician from MP3 Unsigned I have reviewed a half a dozen times, without too much upset. Fact is, I do like a good singer/songwriter, especially when their chosen
This is an incredibly well structured song. I enjoyed listening to this track a lot and I'm really looking forward to the remake that has been mentioned. First off, the production is as close to perfection as you can get in a home recording environment. The acoustic guitar sound is exceptional. Nice and crisp, clear as a bell but with enough low mid and bottom end to keep it warm soun
First track out of MP3 Unsigned this month is from yer old rock buddy Pidgeman. Regular readers will know the man and his works of course but if ya don't here's a thumbnail sketch. He's a home produced rock musician from Coventry here in the UK and considering that he is a home producer comes up with some very decent tracks indeed. Out of the last five tracks I reviewed, three go
Craig Matthews (aka Pidgeman) is an MP3 Unsigned artist you will be familiar with if you are a regular reader, and lets face it if you are not then I am talking to myself and that doesn't even bear thinking about. Having come from a lifetime of real world music, I have found I have developed a specific ear for what is right according to that world. It's why, I think, I am sometimes ove
MP3 Unsigned's Pidgeman had a bit of a rough time from me when I reviewed Wasting Time (March 2008) a track that I felt needed a lot of improvement - a fairly common thread of my reviews of this particular artist. Which is odd because Pidgeman plays rock of various tones, and he plays it well too. Where the wheels start falling off the wagon is when you add into it arrangement, pitch a
My final review for this batch goes to Pidgeman, who I've reviewed before when he collabed with electronica artist Destri! This track, however, is one he done all by himself! This starts off with a drumbeat first, then the rest of the instrumentation comes in! The sound is very 80's, which is either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on where you stand on the matter! Personally, I like the so
Third time around for MP3 Unsigned's Pidgeman, a singer/songwriter from the UK. The first track I reviewed - Misery Loves Company (November 2007) - showed that Pidgeman knows what he's doing in terms of performance and songwriting style and Can't Stop Thinking About You (January 2008) only confirmed that impression. Where things fell down in both tracks was in the final presentation, a
Well coming up here is my 3rd review out of the people who first came into my offering post for a review. I have to say I’m very pleased with the results so far. We have Pidgman’s latest; Babylon Is Doomed?. So without further due to you all… Lets begin! The first thing that gets thrown out at me is the snare. Very powerful and full. I like it a lot. The kick has a nice pumpin
Next up we have a new track from Craig (Pigeman) called Babylon Is Doomed? which I am told he recorded from beginning to end in one evening, which only goes to show when the muse hits, go with the flow and good things can happen.
Craig Matthews aka Pidgeman is an MP3 Unsigned rock musician who I first encountered when I reviewed Misery Loves Company (November 2007). Nice track, as it happened, especially since I like the kind of rock Pidgeman specialises in. Like a great many of us, he has to deal with certain limitations about getting it all down digitally and - on both tracks I've heard - that home produced f
Next up is a track that has been doing very well on the site, 'Misery Loves Company' which Craig (Pidgeman) released a while ago. Commented on the track when it came out and stand by all my original views but will attempt a more in depth overview of the track. Track is very much in Craig's comfort zone, a guitar led power pop/rock track, a genre that has always been popular in the charts (espe
good song and good sound, yout voice is like the voice of rush.keep on rocking.
Pidgeman is a new name to me, this time from MP3 Unsigned and has the singular honour to finally rescue me from the almost constant electronica/trance diet I have had from that site since I started picking up reviews from there again. Moreover, Pidgeman promises to deliver some of my favourite; rock, and for that the man is like an oasis in the desert. Aaah burt, you sigh, rock can cov
Collabs... the MP3Unsigned speciality! There's lots of them about on MP3Unsigned, from one-offs to collab bands such as Stella Polaris Project and Hare Of The Dog! This collab involves Electronica producer Destri and Singer/Songwriter Pidgeman! I've heard the backing music by Destri before as an instrumental, and the combination of electro and hiphop sounds great to me! In this version, the middl
I really like this track by Craig, I remember commenting and rating it before, and rightly so. For a slow instrumental it has some serious emotive phrasings. Craig's understadgin of music and ear for melody shines through on this piece. An unforgettable hook is what makes this track different from most other instrumetnals out there. Craig weaves melody and structure around the central theme from s
Heavier than most of Pidgeman's other tracks this one caught my interest becuase of the distorted guitars and crip powerchords. Th eproduction throughout is very clear and the instruments sit nicely with good separation between rhythm guitar and bass. Drums sounded good to me despite some comments regarding cymbal levels. Last comment on the mix and the only part that needs minor ad
This evening I'll be reviewing a recent newcomer to mp3u, Pidgeman (Craig Matthews) welcome aboard. He describes his music as a cross between Rock and Pop. In my opinion, this track is all rock. He hails from Cheltenham in the U.K. and can rock with the best of them.
Good review to start off, a track I have already listened to and enjoyed a great deal, from an artist with a ever growing collection of very solid, well crafted proper songs. First thing I checked out when reviewing the song were the lyrics, they are a really quite strong for a song of this type, which at it's heart, is a song about despair. Rather than wallow in the misery though, the song offers
I really like this song so it's hard for me not to rate it on the high end.The lyrics are well done. It's important to me that they tell a story or make a point.There are two things I really like about this tune. one is the how it jumps into the third section after the second chorus and two, the key modulation at the end. In both cases the vocal is spot on. not an easy thing to do. it's hard to de
