You are the winner of the most relatable song on the forum. Lyrics are spot on.
I like the melody. A bit bouncy!
Dave continues to add guitar bits that mold into the song.

I love it! I think you wrote the one all of us would have liked to have written here. Very fun song, bouncy beat and so well recorded ... And great way to throw out a great big thank you to the folks at PG Music. You and Dave did it again!

Marty and Dave,
A great message song!
Dave's guitar phrases really liven up the song.
Your vocals are great too.
A variant of the blues progression is totally appropriate for this song.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Marty.
It's a lively piece. Well performed with a good lyric.
For me, the bass sounds a little boomy. Maybe a hi eq filter needed or maybe my ears need washing out.
Vic Thanks, Vic. Yeah, I think the bass is probably a little too loud now that you mention it. That boominess would go away if the bass sat better in the mix. When I'm mixing I always have to remind myself I'm not mixing a bass-players album. haha. I know I am, but it shouldn't sound that way. Thanks for that. Another twist from the optimist.
Terrific band, baked to perfection and iced with ace guitar.
Your vocals are even more mellifluous with each new recording.
Loved it. Ah, The Twisted Optimist --great title, Ray. Dude, I love your comments. Keep up the good word, man. Awesome tune Marty. Very cool vocal and lyric. Excellent guitar work from Dave. Loved the video. Well done.. Man, Scott, you are the best. You promote my songs here, on YT, Soundcloud and FB. Thanks so much, brother. Keep creating. Superb in every way. What lovely, refreshing lyrics! Good advice for us all! BEAUTIFUL video ... GREAT guitar playing from Dave Bell ... and, of course, a generous dollop of good cheer from yourself, both voice and bass :-) . And yes, thanks PG Music! A great song, nailed by everyone involved. Inspires me to keep writing - and that's just about the highest compliment I know how to give :-) Thanks, James. No one here needs this kind of advice, but there are so many others out there that waste so much time trying to please an imaginary audience that they miss the fun of letting Creativity take control. That's why the best music I hear is right here. Yes, it is the highest compliment you give, but you obviously don't need any nudge for inspiration. You're creative cup is runnithing over.

Lovely message, as a songwriter very easy to cherish and relate to. Let your own star shine  "I'm doing it because I can't help it" & "The meaning of life is to create.", glad you put those ideas into a great song! And without possibility to create, there would be no life. And BIAB makes it easy for us to be real stars. Nice and positive catchy melody, the positivity is also beautifully reflected in the video. You have found great colorful clips for it. "your singing gets better with each song" I agree with B.D.Thomas. Sounds like Dave was born just to play his guitar in this song, great work! BTW. you manage to release a "Star" song just before me  Janne

Hi, Marty and Dave !:))
Absolutely wonderful is this tune
in every aspect ! I liked everything
about it !
It really rocked my chair over
here in Kyrkslätt (that´s where I live) !!
Thank you for this masterpiece !
Cheers
Dani Thanks very much, Dani. That's quite an impact. Maybe now you have a rocking chair. Hi Marty and Dave
You both fully in your element ;-)
Sounds really cool
And Dave's guitar work is TOP
Really great work
The video fits great
Nice scenes and pictures
Well done Marty
Both thumbs up
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Hi Andi! I see you posted your new one, too. Headed there next. Thanks for your kind words of encouragement. Brilliant song, one of my favorite BabuMusic songs actually, and there are lots of good ones! Thanks for the invite Oh, no, thank you, Dave. You know it's an open invitation. Can't wait to see the video for your new one. Hi Marty and Dave
You are a very busy man!!! On how many projects are you working each day? But the results are delicious to listen at.
And your songs are mostly so positive. Your lyrics and singing in this very attractive song are no exception to this.
I agree with B.D. thomas your singing gets better every time (a little bit more each time, because they were already very nice, but still...).
Dave also did (again) a very good job on the lead guitar. One can only enjoy what he's doing, so nice to listen to.
I think his guitar play is lifting every song (if needed).
Take a break for some hours,
Hans Thanks, Hans. Right now I have 3 ready for posting, and roughly 6 in process. Cut it out. You have that many, too, I know. Yeah, you're so right about Dave making songs so much better withhis crafty playing. I've thrown him a few curve balls and he knocked 'em all out of the park on the first pitch.

“Cater to creation forget their expectation
and listen to the drive that makes you whole. “
Oh yeah! Delightful lyric.
Marty, your lead and tight harmonies are very good and we feel like we’re sitting in the same room as you. That bass man is really nailing it all down!
Dave’s solo, in addition to his intro and fills, is excellent.
We couldn’t agree more with you on the pure joy and creativity (and friendships) that PG Music has provided.
And as always your vid nails the sentiment of the tune.
Keep ‘em coming!

per the song title...liked the way the song start was sooo commanding and practically shouted 'ya gotta listen to this'.
grrreat choruses and stops etc.
loverly lyrics.
kudos mate.
best
om Thanks, OM. You are the winner of the most relatable song on the forum. Lyrics are spot on.
I like the melody. A bit bouncy!
Dave continues to add guitar bits that mold into the song. Thanks, Scott. As a strong voice in the choir, you surely know it by heart and soul. Man, you're right about Dave. He really knows how to interpret a song --any style. I love it! I think you wrote the one all of us would have liked to have written here. Very fun song, bouncy beat and so well recorded ... And great way to throw out a great big thank you to the folks at PG Music. You and Dave did it again! Thank you, Brad. In my mind you all HAVE written the song, and all royalties will be split. I'm good with zero divided by zero. [Interesting fact: this so-called western world didn't use a zero until the 13th century. Fibonacci learned it from someone from India while they were both visiting Africa. That won't be on the test.] Great tune! I'm with you all around. Great vocals and production.
Cheers
Mike B. Thanks, Mike.

A great message song!

BTW. you manage to release a "Star" song just before me Janne Janne, I love your star song. So cool. Well said here about without creativity there is no life. Right! As far as my vocals improving... well, for the first time in my life I'm practicing before pushing record. Until visiting here, I only used BiaB to make demos for others to sing. Thanks, Janne. “Cater to creation forget their expectation

All I can say Marty is that you are a song writing, bass thumping, lyric singing powerhouse!
Great job.
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2025 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
