Original song "Convey" (in Stereo)

[TheNorthernStar7111]

My convey!

[D12WorldNight]

Hey J, what do you mean by when you say (stero)? It sounds the same to me lol.

[NunaFeedTheDucks]

Please don't take this the wrong way because i really don't mean to be rude. I've been going through your videos and your own work ( Original songs) are beautiful. I think you sing much better singing your own stuff maybe because they come from your heart. Great videos thank you Margaret

I live in Canada but I'm from (Bury) Manchester UK...God country. Take care Margaret

[Maysey1]

Very nice Jeff, I'm really digging your music mate. Really glad it was shared with me. This is the kind of stuff I live my life for now. I've been writing songs all my life and almost lost hope until I found this medium and I've never been happier creatively speaking. Thanks for sharing your talents. Mark

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Mark. There are many of us out there, and there are a number of us on Youtube. It's great to share the musical stories with others. I know that you can appreciate that, being a writer yourself :)

[Tomahawk1505]

omg u have earned a loyal fan

[jeffstunes]

Excellent. Your comments are the sort of stuff that makes writing songs worthwile :)

[juicetoocool17]

I'm going to listen to the whole playlist when I have time!

Thanks for the great music.

[jeffstunes]

You're welcome. I'm pleased that I'm finally getting my music out there for other ears to listen. :)

[chisroar]

Do you play all the instruments then mix them together? If so damn you! I enjoy playing the guitar, but when it comes to trying to mix them in the likes of cakewalk/audacity i'm crap :D

Loving the song also ;)

[jeffstunes]

Lol :)

Thank you.

I did in this song, and most of my others. It's taken me years to get used to my DAW and I'm still learning. Putting the instruments down is the easy bit. Making a good sounding mix is an art form in itself. Lol.

[tronious]

This is undoubtedly the most difficult part!

I think you're doing a great job of it.

[jeffstunes]

I get the impression you know what I'm talking about. Lol :)

I did a course at a place in London called "The Institute of Music Technology". I gained quite a bit of knowledge there, and it's helped me to know how to move forward artistically, and technically.

I learned that you never stop learning :)

[ElectricLightForever]

dude, are you a famous singer?

[jeffstunes]

No. Well, I don't think so. I wasn't the last time I checked. Lol :)

BTW. ELO are one of the bands I grew up with. I loved a few of their albums, but the one that I played too much was "Time" :)

[ElectricLightForever]

Talking about ELO, I'm trying to get ready to record me playing some songs of ELO. I'm want to have the right staff before I can start.

[IrelandCladdagh]

now a triad o'poetic powered tunes man!!! YOU ARE AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!! :):):) poet o'spirit & o'heart is what i see you as :):):) WOW WOW WOW, john :):):)

always dream~~~dare~~~dive!!! :):):)

[jeffstunes]

Thank you John. I've written poetry since before I was 10. I had enough for a book by the time I was 10. I've always enjoyed playing with words, and it was a natural progression into music. My musical skills are still growing. So hopefully, one day I will be able to express in the music, what I do in the words.

[forever57]

I find the lyric poetic and vey touching.

It makes me to reflect about life and the

very complicated human feelings.

love it.

[jeffstunes]

Thank you again. I try to make my lyrics ambiguous, so that they can appeal to other peoples experiences :)

I'm glad you are enjoying my own work :)

[WyeSun]

Wow...Another great song. ;)

[jeffstunes]

Thank you again :)

This is the newest song of mine on Youtube, and is my favourite, but then all the new ones are my favourites, Lol.

[AppleCheese12345678]

Wow great song, also do you take those pics youself? because i love the frozen spiderweb looks so pretty.

[jeffstunes]

Thank you very much. There are some pictures that I have taken in some of my videos, but a lot of them are from royalty free collections. :)

Yes, I love the spiderweb too!! Though I didn't take that one.

[barmer479]

[vmandanici]

Nice production Jeff!

[jeffstunes]

Thank you. When other musicians compliment my songs, it makes me feel good in other ways. Technical ways I suppose :)

[LJABC]

Such a beautiful composition and It's always interesting to see how the meanings of these originals are construed by others.

Love you! x Mum.

[jeffstunes]

I'm always interested in hearing other peoples interpretations. :)

[jeffstunes]

Thank you for coming over to take a look :)

Obviously I like it because I wrote it, but it's nice to get the approval of friends on here :)

[1984fiction]

good song

what software do you use for the slideshow sequences?

[jeffstunes]

Thank you. The software was a package I bought a few years ago called "Pinnacle". I also bought the "Hollywood FX" transitions add-on. Which gives you a few hundreds extra transitions :)

[mordentimes54]

I love it Jeff. thank you for sharing. AWESOME!

[jeffstunes]

and thank you for coming over and taking a look and listen :)

Glad you liked it :)

It's my favourite at the moment. Well, at least until I write my next one. Lol.

[dabiribd]

Ssssso beautiful

Thanks

[jeffstunes]

Thank you. That means a lot to me. I know how deeply you appreciate and analyse music, so that's a real compliment :)

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Larry :)

I'm going to put more of my own songs up amongst all the covers I do. I'm glad you liked this one. If just a few people like what I'm doing then it's worth the effort :)

[chuckadile]

Great job...i'm really digging the synth pad as well.

[jeffstunes]

Lol. Thank you. That particular sound is called "Bowed glass". Though I adjusted the dynamics of the sound.

[LJABC]

A little coldplay-like ;)

Beautiful melody and lyrics! I'm glad you shared!!

[townstra]

Cool song and nice production! 5*****

[jeffstunes]

Thank you very much. I wanted to use the heaviness to convey an outburst of emotion :)

I'm glad it's been well received.

[Aergerdichnicht]

Ein wunderschöner gefühlvoller Song und ein schönes Video von Dir.Toll gesungen.*****+

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Petra. You always say such wonderful things. Yes, it was aimed to be sensitive in parts, and raw with emotion in others :)

[Rhonda9]

This is just fantastic!! It has a Floydish feel to it. Great style. 5 stars.

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Rhonda :) I wanted a song that was gentle in parts, and then bursted emotionally. I like it myself, but then I would. Lol.

[gstockton]

I really dig this song. The lyrics are excellent, and the melody is great - super job on the sound.

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Gary. That means a lot coming from someone who writes and mixes themselves :)

[DawndeeDALLAS]

Really great song...thanks for sharing that with us~

[jeffstunes]

and thank you for being so complimentary :)

I've played this over and over again and for me the words and the music are beautiful! It's hard to see how you could improve on the production but you never cease to amaze me.

Love you darling! Mum x

[jeffstunes]

Thanks mum. This is more or less the final mix. It lost a bit of sound qaulity in the upload, but it still sounds alright :)

[dhaffner101]

Beautiful song Jeff! Great sound and visuals, I really loved the lyrics man!! Most excellent!! I gave it a big 5!!

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Dave. Funnily, writing the song and doing the instruments didn't take long. It was the mixing that took ages. Lol. I'm still learning on that front :)

[bobbythompson57]

thanks for letting me know you had an original...this is really good...wonderfully put together!

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Bobby. I've got a few originals on here, though my production skills are starting to improve now. It doesn't take me too long to get the element of the song down. It's the mixing that takes the time at the moment. I'll get there in the end.

[Lethesunshine]

Jeff, this is a beautiful song. I am impressed with your talent. You are Blessed! (((Hugs))) ~Mimi~

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Mimi. I really like my own songs when I write them, and it's great when other people like them too :)

[barmer479]

what a great song, Thank you, 9 stars

[jeffstunes]

Thank you. Just thought I'd say that I haven't forgotten your request either. I'll mention you when I do it anyway at some point in the future :)

[barmer479]

cool, i'll be waiting to hear that song

[lazymornings]

beautiful words, timed and sung well, good writting is key. love alot of your songs man, i think you do very well, very enjoyable.

[jeffstunes]

Thank you. I haven't got anywhere up to now, but I still love to write. I'm in my 40's now so maybe there is a future in writing for other bands :)

[HuggableAngel]

NO WAY u dont look 40

[jeffstunes]

Thank you. Lol. Yes, I've passed that milestone in life. My attitude to life is a lot fresher than my years, so maybe that's what comes across :)

Thanks though. That was very flattering :)

[HuggableAngel]

when did u turn 40 , far out u must of found the fountasin of youth . piggy give it here lol

[jeffstunes]

Well I'm 42 now. So 2 years ago. :)

[lazymornings]

yeah well writting is top dollar, don't knock it, i'd jump at the chance.i hope someone gives you a chance.

[HuggableAngel]

made me cry ((((HUG))))

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :) I suppose this song is aimed at making people think about the important ones in their lives. The ones who always have words of support and love.

[HuggableAngel]

yep and how lonely someones life really is ((((HUG))))

[jeffstunes]

I normally write words that can be interpreted in many ways, and might mean something to everyone in their own way. If it can cause a moment of reflection then i think that's a good thing :)
