I'd have to go with "Rescued by the Rain" https://soundcloud.com/lutehill/rescued-by-the-rain-17122015-remix

Was kind of in my early days of recording, but everything just fell into place with it from idea, writing to production. Shed a tear in the studio. Got a terrible review from the holistic songwriting guy.

[GuyBarry]

Hello...simple enough really...

What do you think is the best song you've written?

Haven't finished it yet.  I'll let you know in a couple of weeks.   

[pompeyjazz]

Hey Adam. I loved Rescued by The Rain. The Holistic guy said Polystyrene Smile sounded like Simon & Garfunkel. Methinks not 

[Skub]

WTF is 'the holistic guy'? 

[pompeyjazz]

There was some guy on here who had a site called Holistic Songwriting and he offered a free review which he filmed. Check it out on Google

[PaulAds]

yeah - that WAS a great one, Adam

and yes, Guy - that WILL be a great one

that was Friedemann...he used to do a "feedback friday" video podcast thing where he'd review our songs

he seemed to think one of mine was a bit rubbish...funnily enough...it was my own favourite...the tongue-in-cheek "love song with a twist" Adolf & Eva number "honeymoon at home"

Honeymoon at Home is great Paul. Think Freidmann was coming from a very commercially orientated angle 

[Paulski]

This one has had the most plays for me and I guess it holds a special place in my heart too (depressing as it may be...  )

[PaulAds]

wow! that's great, Paul 

never heard that one before...

what a great thread 

[Viscount Cramer & His Orchestra]

PaulAds....yes that was a good one but I think I prefer your latest. Your star is still on the rise. Mind you 'Not Without A Fight' is one that always sticks in my head.

Del, I have to say that I didn't listen again to your whole collection but Skub reminded me of 'Drag You back' which is a great song - great sound too, was the version I heard before a rough demo...can't remember now.

Vicki, I go with 'The Mark of the Chains' too. Good song. Your husband is wrong.

Adam, I agree with your choice. There was something special with that one.

Pop, that's a nice song indeed. No wonder you're pleased with it. You did a fine job to maintain the interest in what is a fairly long number.

Paulski, it was a good, well-written song...not my fave of yours, but nicely done.

My personal fave is Under Your Spell because I think I had some good ideas for that one.

[ScottLevi]

Hey hey,

Cool thread Paul.

Delboy, I can see why you hold that song in esteem, very nice indeed and lovely simple-sounding guitar work.

I've been an avid listener of "Mark of the Chain's" Vicki, is certainly one to be proud of.

Very accomplished song there aswell Pop, and must be a great feeling aha! I'm yet to hear one of my tunes in context with others (playlists, shuffle) as I keep them away to avoid the inevitable cringe!

I'd like to say my best is my latest, to keep with "each should be better than the last" but I'll have to keep in theme with Derek and go for the first one I posted on this forum (though it was in WIP, and I've re-recorded since from suggestions).

I still feel like this one goes unrivaled in 'catchyness' and melody potential (in my portfolio) and is also the one which gave me the confidence to start sharing my music (regrettably to some I'm sure ). Some of my others may have not happened without this one giving me that confidence, or if they did would undoubtedly not be as good.

(edit) but it's actually the first song on my 'open mic' entry, which is a much better go at it imo

Still needs re-revisiting to perhaps slow down and improve the production quality, when the time's right xD

Cheers,
Scott.

EDIT: Didn't realize there was 2 pages to this thread, more gems to ponder at!

[Boydie]

This is the first song I ever posted on here and my first proper attempt at songwriting so it has a special place

Hole In My World
https://soundcloud.com/boydiemusic/hole-in-my-world?in=boydiemusic/sets/boydie-original-songs


This song has had the most plays on SoundCloud - I would like to re-record it as I think I could do a much better job now, both vocally and with the production

Edge Of Never
https://soundcloud.com/boydiemusic/edge-of-never?in=boydiemusic/sets/boydie-original-songs


My favourite song though is this one, which was the first one where I attempted some "pop" production

Watching Me, Watching You
https://soundcloud.com/boydiemusic/watching-me-watching-you?in=boydiemusic/sets/boydie-original-songs


My best song though is always "the next one"...

[pompeyjazz]

Ok. After much pondering I'm going to nominate this one simply as it got me back into songwriting after nearly 30 years so it's kind of special to me. Would maybe have produced it differently but hey, that was then and this is now

[Bill Saunders]

I definitely have not written yet! I'll try to think of a sensible answer, but I listen back to some of my older stuff and there's almost always something I'm not happy with!

[Morefrog Jones]

yeah - that WAS a great one, Adam

and yes, Guy - that WILL be a great one

that was Friedemann...he used to do a "feedback friday" video podcast thing where he'd review our songs

he seemed to think one of mine was a bit rubbish...funnily enough...it was my own favourite...the tongue-in-cheek "love song with a twist" Adolf & Eva number "honeymoon at home"

https://soundcloud.com/thefuneralcrasher/honeymoon-at-home

That one was absolute Genuis - Not for the faint hearted - But The twist was Mega - Loved It My Favourite.
