Brad, Mario, Janne, Tommy, Ezekiel, Floyd, B.D., firesong, James, Peter, Vic, J&B, Andi, FMM, and Scott:

Thanks to you all for the listens, kind comments and feedback. It’s much appreciated. Some thoughts on a couple of the specific suggestions:

Janne: One of the things I would have loved to have had was a crowd singing, or better yet a choir . . . but I only had me, and had to settle with that. But yes, that was the sound I would have liked to capture better.

B.D.: Good thought there . . . . and I did play with it being shorter. But as the song moves quickly, I wanted the song to have a bit more space in that first bridge (if nothing else, to give me time to catch my breath, LOL!). And I wanted the audience to actively listen, which is think is helped by a longer pause. But I hear you and appreciate your POV.

Vic: I’ll need to go back and give it a closer listen . . . it’s more likely my playing, and perhaps I unintentionally bent a string a bit on that last note on the run to make it sound slightly off. Might need to turn down the volume on it a tad if so.

Thanks again, all!

Deej

Oh, I really really like the sound of you vocals, Deej, and those harmonies are just perfect. What a wonderful write. You are consistent with excellent lyrics and melodies. I like how this builds to the chorus, and I have to agree "Everything's {IS} so good. Excellent dynamics, and a terrific Bridge. Dang, this is sucha good song.

"Listen
Can you hear that wind
The song it’s carrying
It’s a joyous hymn
Every one of us can sing"

Yeah, it doesn't get any better than that. Slot this one as cleanup in your lineup, Deej.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Nice way to start off the New Year, Deej!

I assume that is you playing the opening guitar theme that repeats throughout the song? Nicely done.

Good song, enjoyed.

Deej,

It's always great to hear something fresh with an optimistic outlook on life....too much gloom and doom going around these days! I really like all instrumental choices you made here! They all fit and sound good! Your guitar contribution here sound very good! Your vocals shine...you hit the high notes convincingly and with ease! Love that little breakdown in the middle section!

Thanks, T

Marty, Dave and and Torrey:

Thanks for stopping in and giving this a spin. Yes, Dave, I'm playing an acoustic guitar that sounds like an electric (not quite what I had initially intended)--essentially to add those descending runs, which I couldn't do just using BIAB. I'm an intermediate guitar player at best, so always an adventure when I try to record along with BIAB tracks. But hopefully worked well enough here.

Stay well all,

Deej
