Marty and all:
Terrific reggae tune with a cool message. Dave just slays that guitar . . . and all the other production elements fit seamlessly. Wonderful collaboration—well done!
Hope all is well in your world,
Deej Thank you, Deej. All is well here. World Series tonight although my team is an also-ran. We are definitely some of those friends who require daily walks or bike rides in the woods. As Janice says, being in nature is good for our body, mind, heart and soul! What a cool reggae blues, Marty, and Dave’s guitar is cooking and his fills supported so well the “smiles” in the lyric.  Wrapped up a nice mix too. Your vocals and bass are excellent and you sound like you truly enjoyed this groove. We've done several reggae tunes, and man, is that ever a different vibe to sing over and play on! We also love the scenes in the video and are now wishing we were in one of those magnificent settings. J&B Yep, you guys are represented by the couple sitting by the fire with the bike standing by. Yep. SEMP=Spiritual Emotional Mental and Physical. AKA human. All well fed in the garden. Thanks for your inpiration. Those pix are from trips BeBe (Barb) and I took. Marty (and Dave)...what a great team you guys are...it doesn't matter the style or genre, the tempo or the timbre you guys nailed it down every time! I love the message of this song...Adam and Eve should have sung this one and if they had it might have kept them out of trouble...as many have mentioned the reggae vibe along with Dave's cool blues created a great mixture to consume for us listeners...the positive lyrics are as refreshing as a walk in the park...there is a lake near where I live and I try to get out there as much as possible to walk and pray and reflect so I love the lines...
"All the troubles seem quite taken with the stuff they call the news and fly off in a quiet breeze.
Under the shade of God's green canopy we breathe a breath of joy, and grow to fight another day."
As I said you nailed it...Dan Thanks, Dan. Yep, whatever style there is always room for some Blues. Gethsemane is a garden, too. It's all good.

Beautiful positive message carried by the gently bouncing reggae rhythm. Outside today on my walk, winter felt really approaching, wind was quite cold and the birds were not singing anymore, but thanks to your song, I had a chance to enjoy also a warm walk in God's garden.
The chorus melody and chord progression are especially enjoyable. Good performance and Dave plays like an angel of Eden (maybe the sound of his guitar is sometimes bit raw for the smooth mood). The organ and the steel drums add nicely to the feel.

Well sung and well played. A Reggae side
Well done Marty
Laurent Thank you, Laurent. I love walks in the woods and every minute on our farm! It sure brings we closer to God and is the ultimate Destressor. Thanks for posting this one, Marty!
Dewey Ah, so happy for ya, Dewey. A farm is a terrific place to grow things, especially inspiration. Hi Marty and Dave.
This is very creative music making. I love the uplifting feel that reggae styles bring to arrangements.
My favourite line was "Under the shade of God's green canopy we breathe a breath of joy, and grow to fight another day". That's great wordsmith work!
These lyrics and this uplifting music express a really great sentiment in a very entertaining way.
What I love about BIAB is the ability to explore so many different styles and to create hybrid styles.
This was really enjoyable.
--Noel Thank you very much, Noel. You're right about exploring styles. Sometimes I end up with 5 different versions of a song before it's done. So glad you like this one. Beautiful positive message carried by the gently bouncing reggae rhythm. Outside today on my walk, winter felt really approaching, wind was quite cold and the birds were not singing anymore, but thanks to your song, I had a chance to enjoy also a warm walk in God's garden.

Janne Thank you, Janne. Your comments are always so refreshingly deep and inspirational.
