No thanks, close this window
Love your music. I have had this little refrain/half verse, idea for a song for over 20 years and if I wrote it the way I wanted to it would be an 2 hour song. I have come so close to this line/verse that I just can't do it justice or do it right. I know the right person/people who see what I see will know this has massive appeal anyone and everyone. Tell me what you think? "If I had a wish, I'd wish for in this world, a loving Mom and Daddy to every boy and girl" I had the idea of them meeting when they are young and one first things he ever says to her is "If you had a wish just one wish for this world..." She stopped him and took his hand and said these words to him." "If I had a wish I'd for in this world, a loving Mom and Daddy for every boy and girl." Something like that. I am nearly 67 and more than just a little disabled. I've nearly died 2 times and have been living with chronic, incurable illnesses for 30yrs now. I posted a song called "Weak Scared Insecure He's a Lying Hypocrite" And my new song "Back Stabbing Fat-Head Narcissistic Clown" is being recorded and will be posted soon I hope but can be heard on You Tube. If you listen to my songs and like anything, feel free to do anything you want to em. Experiment have fun with em. I am very ill and just too weak anymore to find a representative to promote my songs. I know there are some good songs, it's how my wife and became friends with Doc & Rosa Lee Watson, Vasser Clemens and The Kingston Trio.
Wish you could something with my songs. I am nearly 67 and just a little bit more than disabled. I keep getting people in the biz I am a good song writer and that at the very least some of my songs should be picked up for movies, or used by an artist but I am done. I know writers lie yourself would do wonders with some of my songs but I know how it is. Truth be told, I've never had a lesson in anything and I am self taught and have been asked several times if I wanna co-write etc etc. But I don't have the equipment or know how to get my music to the right people. I became friends with Doc Watson and his wife. They liked some of my music enough to call me one night and we talked for hours and became friends. I nearly died the same day Doc died. That really shook me. An intern for the Dix!e Ch!cks nearly took my song Already Over You but Daddy Maines turned it down being right after his daughter said things about the president. Said they were going a different direction. "Already Over You" would have been perfect for them. Anyway, sorry for babbling. You're great. Really. Love your music.
Hi, endless thanks for the 5 star review of my song Weak, Scared, Insecure, He's a Lying Hypocrite. I am so proud of this song, Catchy ain't it? ;-) I don't take for granted getting a 5 star review from you folks. Again, thank you.
Hey James, You are most welcome! LC Team
I would love the right folks find a way to use this for the Presidential Election. Could be funny.
Hello James, Do you ever collaborate?
Hi, I did one collaboration with Annie who did the vocals on Blueridge Mountain Skies. all she did was add her vocals to the song then she turned around and tried selling the song behind my back. I just added a song I know is going to make me and anyone who joins me good money. It has a great catchy hook/title. It's called Weak Scared Insecure He's a Lying Hypocrite.
Hello James, we're almost neighbors... I'm in Tualatin...... I checked out some of you songs and would love to do a project with you. Marvin. With 549 tracks on BJ, with everything from Funk to Folk. we are sure to find a track to write to. SKY HIGH MUSIC LABS
Great music for road trips, campfires, or just when you want to be happy!
Just gave a listen to your song "Willow in the Wind" what a great song... the singer has a beautiful voice... I really enjoyed her voice... please tell her... Be safe, a friend in music 🎶🎶🎶Delta
Looking for a good woman who wants to record it. Can you believe she 100% Christian? I am ok with making it your own but like an acoustic style but I am no producer hehe.
Why not her???? Her voice did such a great job... where is your studio? Near the singer?
Song was written 18yrs ago and she has come and gone. I am disabled and very ill. All I do is write and play & sing a little with friends and family. Will I Ever, I'm Already Over You are songs written for female leads. Blue Ridge Mountain Skies is xlnt duo, Blue Ridge Mountain Home recieved 50 out of 50 from a guy said he has reviewed over a 1000 songs here and that is the only 50/50 he has ever given. Everyone singing on those songs are now with Sony, RCA and I was left behind cuz the labels have all their own writers. Too, bluegrass for them. The Dixie Chicks were supposed to do I'm Already Over You but that was right when Natalie Maines shot off her big mouth about the President. Judge Judy wrote me and loves the song to this day.
I am sorry you are ill... Covid is hard enough with out being ill on top of everything...so sad you can't have that singer... there are many female singers on bj that do Colman's with writers so I would ask around...I wish you the best...
Hate it when auto write takes over... collaborators on bj
you wanna try any of my songs go ahead and if you like em ok, you have all the lyrics to all the songs. Give a Will I Ever a look at, it's a fun song about a girl who is telling her man "I wanna get married noe or..."
Also, I love playing and singing Night in White Satin also and I am so glad to see some one do a Helem Reddy cover. She is a very important artist back when I was younger, in the womens movement. I am Woman is a song should be taught in high school to every girl who goes onto living their lives.
Nights in White Satin is a GREAT acoustic guitar song. I would LOVE to hear your version of I am Woman. Its a Hall of Fame songs in so many genres and it is one of the most important songs ever for women, Back then it got things kickin' for women. I loved it. I still watch it on Youtube. Also, I am 63 and do you know the all-time played song on the radio? It's not the Beatles, "Yesterday" It's You've Lost That Loving Feeling" by The Righteous Brothers. Go to You Tube and put the song title in then the word reaction.
Hi, I would love to do something but I am very very ill and at this point just want someone who hears my music to do something with them. I am very flexible. jjburns1957@yahoo.com
James, I'm sorry to hear about your illness.... Get better soon...Marvin
I am very flexible to do something with any of the songs on my page here. I have nearly died twice in last 8yrs and I am having surgery again next month. I have good songs that have all hit #1 at one time or another. I even got a 50/50 from an artist who told me he had never giver 50/50 for any song and he did for MY Blueridge Mountain Home. I can't believe no one has taken the duet of Blueridge Mtn. Skies and done something with it. (503) 747-3012
don you collaborate ?
Good stuff
I would love to do a project with you......Marvin SKY HIGH MUSIC LABS
Hi Good health n Good Music. I lived and grew up in LB till I was 60. I listen to & love ALL art/music. Respect! Tried for friend connect.
James, sorry to hear that your Health isn't as good as you'd like it to be!!! Know the feeling...that's for sure!! You sent us some lyrics, would you like us to try and write a Country song using them?? Can't promise you anything, but we will take a Look-see!!! Good to hear from you...Sir!!! Margie & Art Corey......
I couldn't sleep one night and just wrote those for fun. I actually give them to you to do want you want. If you see something that stirs your creative side have fun with em Delete them if you want or change em, do anything you want. I love the fun and passion you two have that's all. I am always writing lyrics out like those and I will give them to anyone who thinks they can do something. Life is very short, Very short. I am a fan of yours and just thought you coould have with em. I wrote these other lyrics and someday I will find someone who make a chart topper. Here they are: "If I had a wish, I'd wish for in this world a loving Mom and Dad for every boy and girl" Stuff the lyrics in a folder and you never know... you just might, one day.... I am in really bad pain and preparing myself for another surgery. Life is really beautiful eh?
Dear James, could you please send the lyrics to us again, so we can look them over very carefully!!! I seemed to have misplaced them at the end of my Ethernet connection!!! LOL!!! Art & Margie Corey
Can you take a listen to my music and give me a true thoughts of it
Tried for a friend connect. Wouldn't let me. I grew up LB till I was 60.
Looking for someone to record me before its too late for me. Its taken me aprox 20yrs to finally get to where my singing is liked. I am disabled and live with 24hrs never ending chronic pain. I had to go on the dang Fentynal again after nearly dying after being 300mcgs of Fentynal and and ten pills a day of Norco/Lortab for over 10yrs. I have had doctor after doctor after doctor tell me I should not be alive. They told me when I was admitted into the hospital the very same day my Friend Doc Watson passed away. I refused to die. I still have so much living to do. I don't play very well at but play well enuff I am have nothing but 100% FUN! I love Martin Guitars. Martin guitar are Americanna and should entered into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. My health is bad and me and my beautiful bride of 40yrs are moving to Oregon. Can some one pleez contact me about recording me own songs? I can't tell you much this would mean to.
Thanks for the review of my song Blue Ridge Mtn Home. Youe the firt person who didnt get it but made my point for me. Its not supposed to move forward as you say. Each verse tells its own story. Paint a picture in your head? Yer review is the lowest review I had of My Blue Ridge Mtn Home since it been on here.
For me it was a highly rated song. A good one even if I didn't get it.
It's important to keep in mind that Broadjam is a low stakes arena, and that's a good thing. The impression that our music makes on others is something that we can get here with a blinded honesty. This is how we get away from self-inflation, girlfriend/mom smoke blowing, and delusions of grandeur. When we ask for a review we ask for someone's opinion. If the review is respectful we need to honor that opinion even if we don't agree. I read John's positive comments, and they were glowing feedback. And it's a very good tune. Quibbling over points is not worth anyone's time.
So very cool, I saw the words Bossa-Nova and had to hear you, I am in Long Beach too. Good Luck, Jim
Trying to find some one to record any of my songs
Wow! It doesn't get any better than full marks so thank you so much for your review of Stay With Me. Your comments are very flattering and are very much appreciated. The song was produced in the UK believe it or not which is a real compliment to a British songwriter to be compared with Nashville. Thank you once again and good luck with your own works. Joe Stewart
Wow you sure had me fooled! Mrs. Kate
Hi Mrs. Kate. You are an amazing artist. An artist in every way. I would be honored (any writer would) if you took the songs I have here at broadjam and let you do anything you wanted to make em better. Thats how amazing you are. Good Health
Hi Birthe, Thank you for you review and comments on my song, "Free 2 Be Me." It is greatly appreciated. ~Brenda~
Hi, Thank You for taking the time to review a song I wrote. BlueRidge Mountain Skies, BlueRidge Mountain Home, Nashville Bound. I think you might enjoy em. I wish someone would do something with any of my songs.Anything you like pleez take a chance on me. I lost getting 4 songs getting published because I dod,t know how to use Drop Box.
Dear James Burns, we took your advice and went back and re-mixed our tune, "Back To You" with less VERB!!! If you get a chance, we'd love you to have another listen and see if we have improved our song?? We listen to all Broad Jam member's musical thoughts regarding our compositions!!! M & A Corey Happy Trails..........
Dear James Burns, I just listened to your tune, "My Blue Ridge Mountain Home" nice song!! I was looking thru the credits on your song and noticed Galen Breen Gator Hole Studios. We have worked with Galen in the past too! Check out our song, "Trumbo's Tune", that was produced by him!! You reviewed our tune, and made a few suggestions, we will go back and take some of the Darn Reverb off...we tend to over use re-verb!! Thanks for the input!! Again, like your song!! M. & A. Corey PS. you live in Long Beach Ca., ever used Marty Rifkin Productions in Santa Monica California??
You will be happy to know I had my producer add thunder to ghost riders will let you know when it is up and thanks for the suggestion I love the results...Delta
Want to thank you for my review on Ghost Riders working on cleaning up... Making lyrics a little clearer.....will think about the thunder, nice thought I like it. I love the sound of the whip. The song is my hat tip to the cowboy that is a part of history and more. I have finished up songs that will be on my AMERICAN cd and my produce is cleaning them up. Hope to have the finish soon. Thanks for the listen. A friend in music
I am glad you got hear my Bluestone Mt it seems to fit in what you play...I loved the song before I ever knew a name. There is a place in Tenn called the Dixie Cafe and every Friday nite for 2 hrs you can listen to Bluegrass music and being from the north I didn't understand the words at the time so I asked the name at the end of the night and that is when I found Bluestone Mt. I have another version I recorded that is a little more Celtic...again thank you for the listen a friend in music...Delta
Sounds great Doc
Thanks so much for adding Always The Last To Know to your song list - really appreciate it. - Pat
You're welcome Pat. I really enjoy your song. Scott
Thank You for the amazing review of my song "Blu Ridge Mtn Home"I have been looking for someone who has people to take it and make it a hit. I am quite disabled now. Its a great song and if someone can take it and do it like the demo that would be worth something to both parties. Jim Give a listen to "Blue Ridge Mountain Skies"
