Hello, I am really pleased to introduce myself as the moderator for the music thread. I think music is a great way to express yourself and can really help to articulate difficult feelings.
I am a freelance writer and musician and I hope this forum will be a place where people can share their songs, lyrics, works in progress and in the spirit of collaboration we can help each other with tips and advice and positive encouragement.
I would like to borrow the follwowing text from my fellow moderator Nick, because I couldn't have expressed it better;
If you would like constructive criticism for your work, please state so in the thread title or somewhere in the post. If you are commenting on others' work, please refrain from making criticism unless the author has asked for feedback. Derogatory comments and insults will be deleted and result in an immediate ban for the offending user. This is a zero tolerance policy, and it will be enforced.
I look forward to reading your posts..

Hey Nefelibatamoth, Nice to hear from you, music wise the main project I have coming up this year is a Christmas single I'm recording with a local junior choir. All the proceeds are going to a local women's refuge. It is going to be a choral rendition of Silent Night with a spoken word poem, the words for the poem are here.. theworldoutsidethewindow.wordpress.com/2013/12/30/no-silent-night/Non-music projects are numerous, exciting and taking up a lot of time How about you, what are you working on at the moment?

That looks lovely, and very charitable of you. A safe place to stay is a basic human right don't you think.. It would be great if you showed us the finished product even though I realize that won't be for awhile! Right now I am working on an exhibition for a local gallery - haven't decided which one yet- called Villains&Lemonade , which features abstract women 'villains', doing mundane or human things. It's light heart-ed and colorful, my first real project in all oil paint so that's been an interesting challenge...I'll definitely post up pictures of the finished products.. What kind of numerous non-music projects do you have going?

I absolutely agree somewhere safe is a fundmental human right. I also think, like with mental illness, that it is important to share and talk about these subjects to raise awareness. I will definitely share with you the finished track. Your Villians project sounds great, I'd love to see some of your paintings.. My other projects are; I'm writing a book in collaboration with an illustrator. It is a short whimsical tale for adults.. I am also writing a novel and a book of poetry. My 'day job' is writing articles for magazines and anyone who will have me Nice to chat
