Hello and welcome to week 16 of SGL! Time flies when your having fun and with only one more week of entries before the year is out, things are really moving - I can't believe we will be finishing the year SGL was formed already, but don't stress were not going anywhere!
That's right we will be here as long as our amazing entrants keep showing up and blowing us away! We hope everyone is having a lovely holiday season and enjoy the show.
Without further delays here are our winners for week 16 of SGL!
"This is a beautiful composition for the Holiday Season and the lyrics are wonderful. I like how you added the F chord in as well ... and your voice sounds awesome!"
"This was stunning on so many levels and just completely captivating, I was hooked from the instant you started. This is a really beautiful song, I just adore that melody - you have created such an amazing and unique sounding song, it really is just impossible not to listen.
Your playing is always perfect and I am always drawn to your brilliant vocals, for me they just steal the show! I love all the different vocal effects you've expertly layered into your performance, I am always blown away by such amazing compositions such as these - how do you come up with these combinations? It's just amazing!
I really do want to focus on your vocals and the melody a fair bit today, as in my opinion you have constructed a unique and rather brilliant melody - but its also your phenomenal vocal abilities that do it justice, I just can't get enough and will see if I can properly identify the right sections as I go.
You start so sweetly and gently just easing into the song, before settling into a good rhythm and things relaxing - but then you go and add those bloody amazing "ahhhahhhahh's", just freaking brilliant and add so much to this section of the song.
I love the tiny little vocal embellishments you then add, and another brilliant focal point was the melody being lowered - adding a whole new dimension to this melody, it feels so full and I keep having to stop so I can mention something properly before you start the next awesome bit XD
Then boom you couple it with these transcending high notes, that just feel angelic in nature when coupled with the rest of the song. Then the segmented note drops, creating this feel of movement within the melody - it add so much feel to the music, it really is an amazing composition.
I really love it when you kick it up a gear and start to add slightly more grit to your vocals, yet another kick ass inclusion that adds more the piece - with a little vocal fry added for good measure, really getting into the power center of the song now.
Now I have to mention the "ohwhohoh" for lack of a better description lol, just amazing vocal flare with so much texture being added here - it really just takes things to a whole other level.
At the 2:53 minute mark I just love love love that vocal run, whats more you executed it with such epic precision - I was completely hooked and yet blown away, that was freaking phenomenally brilliant.
Seriously I could go on for ages here, in fact I've been writing this review alone for about an hour - just going back and forth between your entry and my post, trying to find the best moments to highlight.
Well turns out most of it, if not all is highlight worthy - just an all round brilliant performance and composition, I am such a massive fan and this is the perfect example as to why!"
"This composition is soothing and beautiful and I loved the flute so much. I could hear this piece in a soundtrack for a movie. You are incredibly talented."
"@orlandogonzalez brings us A Beautiful piece inspired by Galipan, a beautiful town in Avila, love every Second of this piece, especially since I have traveled the place in a super special way and I can feel how the spirit of the site dances to the rhythm of this Beautiful piece, I also very much appreciate the fact that the post was made with love, explaining how to get to the site and accompanied by beautiful Photographs."
"Firstly I have to say I knew you played a few instruments, I had no idea that included the flute though - and I must say it is the flute that really adds so much to this performance and composition, adding this light airy feeling to the entire piece.
This was just completely captivating, you really managed to take me away with only your music as a guide. It was amazing to hear and watch all these elements come together to create this amazing piece of music.
The drums as another focal point, I have dabbled with the drums but have no real skill - but one thing I have learned is to note when people use drums as a way to keep time, compared to others like you who use the drums as an instrument.
You make the drums have a focal section, but its more than just a way to keep the pace of the song - it creates this amazing juxtaposition between the flute and the drums, they are almost in a form of competition with each other.
Not as in they are aggressive, they are in harmony - but it feels as though when one wanes the other picks up and vice versa, creating this really unique sound that I really enjoyed hearing.
It's a truly brilliant piece of music, just taking me away on a fantastic journey - I can see how the images you provided helped inspire the music, they go so well together it just fits perfectly.
This was as always an amazing performance from you and I just couldn't stop listening to it, so light and airy and freeing - really stunning and totally captivating, I love it!"
"Edwards brings us this week. An original song "Color Ambar" you sent from the camera is beautiful, giving us a super nice visual experience with a romantic and dark song."
"Excellent choice of the song and an extraordinary performance, both on the guitar and on the voice. Congratulations!"
There you have it another amazing week of brilliant entries, including a new original Christmas song! Massive love to our phenomenal musicians that show up and make each and every week amazing, without you none of this would be possible <3
