Feeling Music by Donna Williams www.donnawilliams.net Folks, this is the review page for the first of my music albums, the Nobody Nowhere CD.

But check out review number 3.
The first part is by a mum.
But look at the second part of it.
It’s just cute as a button.
What a kid.

Well, Robert, aged 7 and a 1/2, I hope we do get to meet some time.

I got this cd to try and see if I could learn to understand my 6 yr. old granddaughters’ ‘world’ better. Thank you Donna, for being my tour guide into her mind. Everyone should hear this! Bravo!!!!

Reviewer: Lesley
I was just browsing Donna’s website and happened upon her samples from her CD. I was taken by surprise that the music was so moving and the lyrics are beautiful and haunting. I don’t usually make spontaneous purchases but made a happy exception this time.

5 out of 5 stars A beautifull cd which gives some insite into the autistic mind
Reviewer: Karen Burrell

5 out of 5 stars I Love Donna Williams’ Music
Reviewer: M from California
This CD radiates quality from start to finish. Donna’s voice is sensational. The songs are all captivating in different ways — with various musical styles and gorgeous melodies. The words are touching, haunting, insightful, witty, and wise. I hesitate to list favorite songs, because more than half of the songs rank as favorites for me, but perhaps tracks 4, 7, and 12 are ultra favorites with nine others being close runner-ups. Wonderful CD!

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic! The best album I’ve got!
Reviewer: Jen G
This CD completely blew me away with all the songs being so heart-felt and honest. Donna doesn’t hide anything – all the songs have a link to Autism. My favourites are Shoes, Nobody Nowhere, Stray Children and Moving On. I recommend this to everyone – it will give you a fantastic and accurate view of what Autism can feel like. This is a true inspiration to me!

5 out of 5 stars Her songs put my feelings into words!
Reviewer: Sara
These songs put my feelings into words – words that I never had. I can’t describe the joy I felt when I first heard Donna’s music. I have autism also and could never explain what was different about me. I can’t wait for her next CDs!

5 out of 5 stars The Music and words are wonderful, powerful, inciteful
Reviewer: Kris S. Johnston
The music, words, feelings this CD invokes has left all who have heard it here in my office calmer than when they came in. It has helped me appreciate all that my son, who is Autistic, has experienced in his young life and to help me look at things from possibly his point of view. Thank you so much for sharing this talent with us.

Reviewer: Y.T
I have listening to the CD everyday..in my room or in my car after I got it. English is not my first languages so I cant understand the lyrics well. But I enjoyed her melody and voice like a pure girl.It makes me feel so good or so sad or happy.I know the lyrics have many important her messages ,so I’d like to know it well but now I just want to enjoy it by my hear for a while.

5 out of 5 stars Great music
Reviewer: Ines
The music of “Nobody Nowhere” helps me to set free who really lives within myself. At times it makes me fly, cry and be happy at the same time. Also, some of the words capture the things that are hidden for nonautistics, touching gently wonderful worlds of color and light. Thank you for making that wonderful CD!

I’m really glad to know someone like you is in this world. Thank you so much. Yo
Reviewer: koji
I’d say this CD itself is really good one, but English is not my first language, so sometimes I can hardly understand what the singer is singing because she sings really fast. However, reading the lyrics as listning to the music, it reminds me of my backgrounds like school age or my parents. This CD is definitely for me.

5 out of 5 stars it’s all so real
Reviewer: Ana
I’ve listened to the cd ‘nobody nowhere’ probably more times than any other cd I own. Every word, every note – it’s all so real. I can’t say which song is my favourite because I love them all. I sing along, I feel the words, my spirit dances and laughs and cries.

5 out of 5 stars Sensitive, utterly human and all about soul! Cool!
Reviewer: Dr Miriam Kennedy
I just loved the diversity – funny, sad, cool, breezy, funky. Sometimes, Too Sensitive, Shoes, Moving On were my favorites. Life is for celebrating -the good and the bad- when you listen to this.

4 out of 5 stars Beautiful
Reviewer: Jan Feenstra
I have Asperger Syndrome and am brain/meaning nearsighted, but at least now I KNOW. For me lyrics are very important and these certainly speak to me. My favorite songs are Ocean deep and Little bit of time. Beautiful!

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful!

I loved this CD! It’s all I listen to now.

4 out of 5 stars Enjoyable
Reviewer: Donna
The singing and music was most pleasing to listen to. The words are a helpful insight into the world of autism. I am enjoying this CD very much!

4 out of 5 stars wonderfully wild and deeply gentle
Reviewer: malai
we danced along to Donna’s CD through endless summer mornings , being moved deeply and lifted up highly at the same time.The music can take you flying away or you can just ride along with it. You can meet different feelings in different songs and my favorite song changes accordingly. I hope there will be a sequel……..
