own work is free to distribute any way you please

to make the links work, add www in it.

musthave done something wrong caus I can'tget the link to work either

I listened to the 1st song and found it too techno for my tastes....a la Fat Boy Slim. I like real instruments in my music...your music fits the hip dance club scenes better...although if it were to succeed there, more energy would have to be applied to the music.

Overall not my cup of tea.

Sorry, I REALLY wanted to like it so I could give you a boost of encouragement.

hopelevre wrote: try listening to more than one song of mine before you are so quick to categorize "my music" please...it seems if you REALLY wanted to give me some "boost" yud have listened to all the specimens i provided rather than dismissing me after one listen to one song....moreover, i rather think yu wanted to not give me any positive feedback as it seems you even looking at this thread is probably derivative of my comments on those who share your sexual orientation

You wanted feedback, but when you don't like the feedback it's because other reasons than the fact that your music is bad. If you can't stand critisism, don't ask people to be critic.

I see only what I want to see, and although I am just a beginner, I don't see you as a winner.

I'm intellectually deprived, not devoid, and I am not a mormon, I'm not even religious for that matter.

BTW I fully accept blame.

I feel sorry for the person who wrote that music,who was it Hopelevre? I mean the guy (or girl) obviously has some ideas but just doesnt have the basic talent or intelligence to pull it off.Reminds me,somewhat,of the inarticulate ramblings I used to produce when I was a child.I'd set up my little keyboard and strum away on a battered old 4 string guitar (2 were missing and I wasnt able to replace them) and sing lyrics I'd made up in 1st grade poetry class.it was all very charming and fun-but only for me.
You need to sit down with the person who recorded the music and say,look you've tried your best,but give up your dream,nobody is ever going to like this.It is too unsophisticated for adults and has nothing that will appeal to the teeny market,apart from the juvenile keyboards.
You've got to be cruel to be kind HL so do this for your friend.

Yes,I know!

If you think that is bad, you should have seen the way Reed Lover ripped my poetry....and he actually likes me.

Oh,I didnt realise you had actually created this stuff,sorry.
Ignore what I said and keep up the good work.
It is obviously deeper than I first thought and maybe only seems amateurish and unintelligent on the outside. I will listen again and dig really deep into the songs to uncover some kind of intelligence in the random chaos.Sometimes in the sh*t you can find diamonds buried.

Would it excite you if I answered?

Have you got anything you would like to declare,other than your lack of genius,of course.

hopelevre wrote: i love people who criticize everything because they dont themselves "do" anything...that takes true genius

And always be wary of people who want you listen to their stuff and ask you to be honest................

hopelevre wrote: yes they might request the reasons behind your derisive diatribes that you are unable to find because the knowledge to make informed decisions isnt there

I just copied and pasted that last post into "babel fish"

No luck though....

Who said:

"A little learning can go a long way"?

Me, just now!

I have no problem understanding Reed. And this time he seems to be spot-on! 

Maybe the problem with your music is that with music, you actually have to feel it.  I think you have a problem with feeling just about everything....
