Hello and welcome to week 3 of SGL! We have had some truly fantastic entries this week and I wasn't sure who'd come out on top in the end, with all the judges having a decent variety in their selections goes to show how many brilliant entries there really were.
''Aaaaah , a nice relaxing guitar instrumental , loved how you added percussive elements to the piece , this kind of reminds me of the work of Andy McKee , there is something about listening to an acoustic guitar that is hard to beat ''
"Absolutely gorgeous composition and performance. I love how much passion you exude! Excellent recording and nicely chosen setting – the birdsong surrounding you was a perfect, delightful addition. Bravo!"
"Maybe for the mood of all these days enter into a very beautiful connection with this particular video, happiness is a harmonious and fluid wave of beautiful colors, just like your entrance!"
"Well here we have another truly incredible performance, you are a perfect example to people who think instrumentals can't win. Pfft perform like this and I care very little if there is a voice included in the entry, this was so brilliant it just had no need for vocals... It can stand alone in all it's glory!
This song has so much involved throughout it, it really is hard to find the words to break down the music into bite sized bits of awesome. But I would like to mention the sheer variety of textures you have used throughout this performance, it was incredible to hear you transition from section to section with this entry.
You manage to convey emotion so intensely and beautifully throughout this performance, I was just blown away by how it all came together so perfectly. This was just such an amazing display of different techniques used to create different effects and you just bought them all together with such grace, it's really amazing to look at the composition and think how long this must have take to create.
Your skill is clear as day, it looks as though the guitar is an extension of your arms. It's a part of you and you know how to make it sing, and sing it did - this entry just was a brilliant display of perfect mastery of your chosen weapon!
I am just hooked on this entry, you did such an amazing performance you have me completely hooked and I can't wait to hear more and soon!"
''What a song! It's been a while i have listened to ''one of those songs'' that move you inside and well , what can I say about the interpretation... flawless!''
"This made me sob...deep, soundless, chest-rocking tears – the most tender, truly heartfelt response a song can elicit from me.
'I was entirely unprepared for that...had to sit in awed silence for a while after listening – to let my heart absorb the sweet medicine that is your pristine voice.
'My cheeks are still wet; a beautiful testament to the graceful sincerity of your absolutely flawless performance. odd side note: my ex-husband's name is Patrick Wilson!"
"@luisferchav brings this week a song performed with a deep feeling and good color, demonstrating his piano skills, I really liked the communication you bring us this week, full of powerful feelings from the nuance of sadness, I hope to see something soon in Spanish!"
"Ohhhhh Luis you melted my stone cold heart here my friend, just sooo gentle and stunningly beautiful. It's the fact that what your doing is soft and gentle but the impact is epic, it's such a contradiction of emotions.
A song like this can fall flat if not delivered properly, I am thrilled to say you do not have that issue in this performance. In fact you use it as a method to entrance the listener, I felt almost caught of guard and then swept up by the current.
You have created an amazing sound, with such graceful ebbs and flows. It has an amazing amount of build that goes to this amazing place of supreme power and control, you have a breathtaking ability and you know how to use it to full effect.
I sit here humbled and in awe of the perfection of an entry like this, filled with emotion and passion. It is centered and balanced, the music is perfection with the lyric and melody and you conveyed it with stunning perfection.
I love hearing your vocal run's, showing the control and complexity in such a gentle and emotional piece. It was hard to not be transported when listening, I struggled so much writing this review wanting to go back and watch your performance instead of listening and writing :P
Just incredible hun, you kicked some serious ass and I was just blown away AGAIN! Ffs man you make this hard lol, but I wouldn't want it any other way and I better see more soon.... don't make me crack the whip ;)"
''Aaaaah , this was a breath of fresh air , it just worked in it's simplicity ( and I mean it in a good way ) , a guitar , nice vocal work and a good song ... I really enjoyed it ''
"Your voice is stunning; your range, impressive. Not sure how I've missed discovering your talent before now, but...I'm an instant fan. Thank you for sharing your gift with us!"
"Ohhhhh you just start and immediately I know I love it, you have such an incredible voice and just how to use it to amazing effect! I was so thrilled to see you enter SGL, it's been too long since I heard you and I am just so stoked you joined us and shared this brilliant entry.
Your playing is as always just perfection, not a missed note, the perfect mix so the guitar doesn't overpower your vocals. Just all round bloody brilliant execution of this song, I hadn't heard it before but I must say brilliant song selection and delivery!
You have such a velvety tone to your voice, that just brings this beautiful warmth to the words and meaning of the lyrics. I close my eyes and I am transported to what I envision the film clip would be, this song makes me see things dude O_O lol.
Not to mention your vocal range and agility are just kick ass, I love hearing you performing especially when you add stunning little vocal runs that add so much body to the melody.
I just love a raw performance a singer and guitar, just like a chill hang out session at a mates place round a fire with a beer. That is just complete and utter perfection and exactly what I want, but also what I think shows the true skill and ability level of entrants.
It's easy to make things look flashy in post adding effects and tweaking things, but its the raw simplistic beauty of a killer performance that needed no influence to be its awesome self that just kills me!
This is what I do this job for, SGL might be new but I've been reviewing music for years and it's entries that just shine on their own that really make my day. I am so thrilled to have you with us, you really didn't fail to impress on your first week and I will happily keep harassing you for more entries in the future :P"
@Eugelys deserves to win because she is an extraordinary artist, good musician (now guitar player too) and she's great at all! 💓 💓 💓
This was another amazing week of entries, I know the judges all struggled with their selections. We had three different posts in the running for Communities Selection this week, which is just fantastic seeing the support our musicians have for one another.
A massive congratulations to all of our brilliant winners for week 3 of SGL and to our Communities Choice winner with a total promotion payout of 40 SONIC! It really is so much fun watching this all unfold each and every week, hope we see you all again then.
