[jeffstunes]

Thank you. A few people have pointed out some Neil Diamond similarities in my voice. I've done a number of his songs on here by request.

I limited the posts on my page to my friends list, to stop all the spamming :)

[PshIMaDITZ]

Awhh, I really love this one. ^^

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

This was one of several songs I wrote over a couple of weeks, a few years ago.

I'm glad you liked it :)

[jenchen81]

ill try to do a cover one of these days :))

[jeffstunes]

Lol. Thank you :)

Someone has got to be first at it :)

If you do, then be sure to let me know. I'm creating a playlist of covers of my songs :)

[jenchen81]

smile and the world smiles back at you. i wana try that tomorow morning when the sun comes up. i wil listen to this whenever i feel bad. it goes to my favourite :)

[RobNorthampton]

It's annoying that there are talented musicians like yourself that are completely overlooked by the media and record companies, whilst we are subjected to chart 'music' comprising of samples of 70's songs with someone 'rapping' (talking fast) over them. I hope you get noticed soon, Jeff! :-)

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Rob. That's a really nice thing for you to say. I've been trying to promote myself, and Youtube is one of those places. I suppose if I get enough supporters, the music industry might think "Hey! Hold on a minute. This guy might be financially viable" :)

[dirkmsn]

It's a very nice song, congratulations!

I have a request : would you like to sing "Orchard Road" of Leo Sayer for us?

Thank you in advance

[jeffstunes]

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it :)

Well, I'd like to say I can do requests, but I've already got a list that will take me a year to get through. Lol. I'll note it down :)

[angelofskem]

execelent song jeff! love the words ******well done ,keep it up x rose.

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Rose :)

It's a year old song, so I thought I'd dust it off and put it up :)

[zuperclark]

nice song... keep it up

[jeffstunes]

Thank you for your comments. Now that's an interesting way to look at it. Neil and Coldplay. Hmmm. Might just work. Lol. :)

[zuperclark]

i think its a combination of neil diamond and coldplay hehehehe, thats a good song, maybe that song is for me hehehehe, im blue and throwing fake smiles at people hehehehe

[jeffstunes]

Lol. Whenever I write my songs, I always think about what those words might mean to other peoples lives. Thank you :)

[Neumeg]

Bravo Jeff, I like it, like it, like it.

[jeffstunes]

Thanks Dick :)

I was in an experimental mood :)

[mdmary]

yeah, beautiful song

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

[dabiribd]

Hi Jeff,

Cheers.

Beautiful composition/ Lyrics

Thanks for sharing

[jeffstunes]

Thank you for coming over to take a look and listen Ben.

I appreciate the comments of talented musicians :)

[WyeSun]

It's very nice of you making intrumental version of your songs and let people download them. Anyway, this is a beautiful song. ;>

[jeffstunes]

Thank you.

Well, there's 2 sides to it. Hopefully, there will be some people that will like them enough to want to have a go at singing them themselves. The other side is that it will give more exposure to my music, which would be really good :)

[SoulM8dSunshine]

What a beautiful song.

I really enjoyed that!

[jeffstunes]

Thank you again :)

I wrote this one over a year ago now :)

[Rhonda9]

This is a very beautiful song. What are you waiting for? Why don't we hear this on the radio?

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Rhonda :)

I've sent my music out, many times in the past, but the problem is that the A&R departments of most record companies and publishers don't even bother to open the envelope if it is unsolicited. So you have to know people in the industry first. It's a vicious circle. That's why I'm trying to get to know people :)

That's nice and early in the morning :)

Thank you Becca :)

Have a good day.

[gstockton]

Hey, excellent! excellent! Jeff. Loved the instrumentation and performance. Very catchy. Only recommendation I would make is keep that great "Swing" beat throughout the piece, it breaks into a more conventional beat early on, and I miss the bouncy bop from the start. Another great one Jeff. 5!!

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Gary :)

Yes, this one was a bit experimental. I wanted to see if I could move from one completely different style into another within the same song.

Ok 2 of the 4 showed up till now...so here it is again....

Great original Jeff, love it very much

Great lyrics, your right....it took me years to show myself more and more

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Mary :)

It is true that it can sometimes take years for people to open up, if they ever do. It's probably the time that they discover what it really is that they are protecting themselves against.

It's a funny thing with YT. They keep on losing comments.

I see three by you on here.

[MaryAsinger]

haha it's a big mystery....someone steel my 2 other comments ;-)

[jeffstunes]

It's the Youtube Phantom!!!!!

:)

[MaryAsinger]

hahaha...have a nice week!

[MaryAsinger]

Now ur talking ;-)

If they ever do....

I'm so glad I diggg this secret to open up ;-)

[MaryAsinger]

take 4

hahah I hope all my comments show up ;-)

If not...I'll be back

[MaryAsinger]

ok take 3...

"Putting a brave face on".(it' not so easy)

Convincing enough to stop others seeing that torment. "It all comes crashing in" because it cannot fall out. Not without the person allowing it to :(true,but easy to say, difficult to do. I have to believe that it is possible to realize. Too many times I need

words,as "a shot in the arm")

Thanks for your encouraging message.

I'm very good in hidding my torment, so many times,the others don't see that.

Giovanna @--->----

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Giovanna :)

When people do not see, there are many words. When a very few do see. Words are not necessary :)

[Nightwatcher1982]

Lovely song again, Jeff. I'll gladly take on your challenge, but first I need to get my voice back a bit. Cause if you've seen my last video, you could hear it's quite terrible at the moment.

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Geoffrey :)

I'm going over to check that video now. You should use the "Share" link below your video when you upload it. That way I'll get an email when you upload it. At the moment I get a weekly digest of all uploads :)

[fastzoe]

this is great jeff, i love everything about it, and its always nice to hear one of your own songs, cos your an excellent singer and an excellent writer, *****stars, saved striaght into my faves, (:-)

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Jan :)

It's a bit experimental, with styles, but it seems to flow quite well.

It's a double headed effort too. I'm trying to see if I can get any singers out there to cover my songs on Youtube.

Only time will tell :)

[forever57]

This was written in one of my stranger moments Ciao jeff,since 5 years I have a lot (too many) of "those strange moments" Because you're feeling so blue.(I know well this feeling :-( ) The tears that stream down your face.(they are so bitter) Show the world around. That you're a happy soul.(I would really want to be so, but I'm very tormented) Smile and the world (true, but sometimes is so difficult) smiles back at you. Touching song, I identify with it Thanks Giovanna @-->----

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Giovanna :)

I suppose you could sum up the meaning by saying it was "Putting a brave face on".

Convincing enough to stop others seeing that torment. "It all comes crashing in" because it cannot fall out. Not without the person allowing it to :)

[Jyritegelane]

Good production! Song itself is not so brilliant, but you have made it very nice! Keep going!

JYRI

[jeffstunes]

Thank you JYRI :)

Production is still work in progress with me, and it's good to hear spmeone say that the production sounds good :)

[gersing]

very very nice!

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

I'm waiting to see if anyone takes my up on my idea, but it might take a while :)

[Cameragirl803]

This is really pretty Jeff:) Very cool song!

This has the same effect on me as "Depress Mode" sorry "Depeche Mode" I love that band! Why don't you sing one of theirs?

Love you! x Mum

[jeffstunes]

Thanks Mum.

I did do a Depeche mode song. It was called "Somebody". :)

[LJABC]

Ah, yes I remember it well. Well sing another!

Love you! x Dementia

[hallmusic]

Your just consistently brilliant Jeff :)

Gonna have to have a go at one of your songs now :p

[jeffstunes]

Oh please do :) Lol. Be the first on Youtube :)

If you put it up on video then let me know and I'll favourite it, and store it in my original covers playlist.

Thank you for your compliment :)

[mouchiko]

what do you mean by wriiten in stranger moment?

[jeffstunes]

When I was feeling in a weird mood, but creative at the same time :)

[dhaffner101]

This is such a good song Jeff!! What a great idea man!

[jeffstunes]

Why not eh?

I'm sure there will be some takers on the idea. I can't wait to hear the first one. That's if anybody does. Lol.

I'm going to have a playlist with just covers of my songs. If I get any of course.

Thanks for the compliment Dave :)

I think it's a bit of an odd song, but I like it :)

[dhaffner101]

Oh I'm sure you'll have some takers on your songs Jeff!

[jeffstunes]

I'm hoping :)

[arielsandersmusic]

Experimental and tres cool!

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Ariel. I thought I'd give the idea a try. It'll be really interesting to hear othe people singing my songs, with their own interpretations. I find that sort of thing fascinating. :)

[Hisautumnrain]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I wonder? ::smiles:: We shall see! Love the idea and love this song. I miss you jeff so very much. I can't wait to go to that sight. You know I must know all your songs by "HEART" by now right? ::beams a bright smile and skips off to the link:: His autumnrain, and your greatest of fans, becca @-->----

[jeffstunes]

Hello Becca. I know from previous conversations with you that you listen regularly to my songs :) The link page is a download page for my instrumentals. I was looking for ideas on how to get my music heard more and that's what I came up with :)

If ever there is "Jeff. Live in New York", you are in for some free tickets. Lol. ;)

[barmer479]

great song 10 stars

[jeffstunes]

Thank you billy. I'm in direct competition with the sky now. A few more months and I should outshine it :)

[lazymornings]

a person i like is 'paul heaton' you know who i mean?well,he likes to play around with music and i feel comes across in a very listenable way as do you,you do good stuff,you really do.

[jeffstunes]

I need "A little time" to work that one out. lol :)

Thank you for complimentary observations. It means a lot to me when people look beyond the song itself :)

[LJABC]

Ah yes, I read about him again recently. Paul Heaton, Vocalist, Songwriter. Plays Harmonica and Guitar. Formed "The House Martins" and "The Beautiful South" currently "Solo" I believe and now holds a DJ slot with Manchester radio. I remember the "Caravan of Love" -- the a cappella version, was an instant hit, reaching number one on 16th December 1986. I can't quite see the connection with you though.

[jeffstunes]

I think he was saying that he thought "Paul heaton" was very listenable to him, and he finds my voice has that same quality :)

[UpDownMostly]

I LOVE this. This is so excellent. Bravo, bravo!  5 stars!

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Tim :)

I'm glad you liked it. I just wonder how long it's going to take for someone to take me up on my covers offer :)

I'm really looking forward to seeing it. I'm going to have a special playlist just for it :)

[UpDownMostly]

HAHAH well I'd give it a go but then you'd have to BURY that version. :)

[jeffstunes]

Lol.

Well, everybody is welcome, and I'm going to create a playlist on my channel for all those that do :)

[barmer479]

Sweet

[LittleMickyFingers2]

This is a first class video incorporating wonderful sound quality, a top drawer original song and a fantastic video montage.

Truckloads of stars and saved and faved!

Could you let me know a little bit about how you upload your videos to You Tube?

Many thanks Jeff, have a great weekend!

Sincerely yours,

Michael

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Michael. Well...

I compile my videos in Pinnacle studio, then save as mpg1. Then I use an excellent video converter called "Super", which is totally free and converts just about anything to anything. I turn it into a flash video with 160kbps video 15fps. Low resolution. 44,100 stereo 128kbps audio.

Then upload :)

[LittleMickyFingers2]

jeffstunes: Thanks Jeff! I will add the info to my collection and make sure that it is shared.

Thanks for taking the time from your busy schedule to post that info!

[mrbaird]

Nice!

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Marilyn :)

It'll be interesting to see if anyone takes me up on my suggestion.

[Majellasweet]

Good song! :):):):):)

Thank you, and thank you for all thos smiley faces :) :) :) :) :)

[enjoythevoyage]

You wouldn't want me to sing---I can't carry a tune!! LOL! 5 stars for you!

Thank you :)
