I built the music tracks in BIAB and added the vocals and extra instruments in Studio One.

The style I used for this song was _PLEX.STY. I used the following RealTracks:
Bass=683 Piano=1535 Drums=PopRock8ths AC Guitar Strum=405 AC Guitar Picked=3202 Nylon Guitar=2201 Electric Guitar=3623 Vibes=3765

I played the flute and strings in Studio One using the Presence instrument software.

Very well done!! I have to say that the heaviness of the concept (the world ending) is an interesting juxtaposition with the happy cheerful music and the hook line. Nice work! Take care. Greg

Hi Barry.
This song is very good . The lyrics , voice , mix and arrangement are all very professional sounding ,.. perhaps a little too professional for my prosaic ears but that does not detract from the quality of your song.
As for the YouTube clip ; I understand the desire to match pictures to the lyrics (which you have done very well) but personally , I felt the vigorous rush of images distracted from the music.
This is not a criticism Barry of your fine song , rather just a personal preference to be taken with a huge grain of salt.
cheers
Gary.

Thanks Gary! I appreciate the comments. My wife would probably agree with you about the video clips. I always have her proofread my videos before I post them and she watches them a couple of times just to look at the pictures and video clips and doesn't pay attention to the music. Of course, she has heard the song,(or segments of the song) about a hundred times while I am working on the audio and then the video. By the time I am done with all the producing she is probably quite tired of hearing it. Eventually I will post all of my music on SoundCloud so people can just listen to the music. Thanks again for the comments. They always make me think of things to consider on my next project.

Catchy tune, well sung. Sticks with me after I stop listening. Good message, too.

Unlike your wife, I try to avoid watching videos with songs. wink

But I agree with Gary that showing images that might be distressing to people (even if comically over the top) can detract from the message of the song.

Nicely done, I enjoyed the listen and the positive energy that you put into your vocals! smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Barry,

A very nice tune and 'happily' sung about serious matters!
As someone else wrote, it looks your vocals are suited for this kind of music.
I wasn't distracted at all by the images in your video. I liked them a lot, but I think this is all a matter of taste.

There is a lot to discuss about your approach on the things you handled. I just posted a song that did the upposite, I fear...
But one thing is clear; you win on joy!

Have a nice day,
Hans
