I'm Not Dead Yet. https://soundcloud.com/peterf1957/im-not-dead-yet Vocal & Lyric - Leon Arrangement & Electric Guitar Fills & Solo - Me Band RealTracks in song: ~481:Bass, Acoustic, Jazz Ballad Sw 085 RealTracks in song: ~487:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Jazz Ballad Sw 085 RealTracks in song: 1543:Synth Pad, PopBelieve Ev16 065 RealDrums in Song: JazzBrushes#1: Lyrics I’m not dead yet Everything’s not said yet I still cry, I still bleed, I still sweat I’m not dead yet Got a few things that I’d still like to do Got a few things that I’d like to say to you The measure of a man isn’t how high he stands It’s what he does and what he understands I’m not dead yet All the songs are not sung yet The day’s not done, the sun hasn’t set I’m not dead yet Got a lot of love that I still want to give Got a lot of life that I still want to live May not feel the slings and barbs the way I used to May have changed my mind about some things that I held true But I’m not dead yet Still some things that I’m trying to forget I know I smoked my last cigarette But I’m not dead yet I may like jazz these days more than rock and roll May have swapped excess for self-control But beauty moves me just as much as ever it did And some days I still feel just like a little kid Oh, I’m not dead yet All the steps have not been danced ye I still cry, I still bleed, I still sweat I’m not dead yet

Great production values, everything sits well in the mix and a great arangement. Not much to nitpick here. Thanks for the listen. Rick It needs more cowbell! https://therickhansenband.com

One of the things that I personally like most about BIAB is that it makes writing in every genre a possibility. I thoroughly enjoyed the listen. The arrangement and the mix worked well on my system. Highlights for me... initial jazz setting and the relaxing/laid-back ambiance it created the delayed introduction of drums the blues/rock lead guitar interplay with the jazz backing excellent lyric journey excellent music journey crisp and clean production A top shelf musical treat. All the best, Noel a song I co-wrote with Steve Young: One More Day MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2025 audios on Soundcloud

Very tasteful statements. Patrick http://youtube.com/musingthemusic https://soundcloud.com/musingthemusic

Strong write, arrangement and production. Love the vocals and the guitar (great tone). Janice pointed out the "wooooah" Clapton like guitar lick at 2:45. Sweet. We like everything about this and look forward to hearing it often on our SC playlist. J&B Last edited by Janice & Bud; 08/01/15 05:41 AM.

OP PeterF Veteran Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 5,640 Sydney Australia	Guenter Who is Leon? He's good. He writes the lyrics & sings (I've known him since i was 5 which is a long time ago!) These days he emails me songs - tells me it's an acoustic folk song and I shouldn't play too much guitar (which I usually ignore). He lives these days about 3 hours drive so every 6 months or so he leaves his wife comes up, we lock ourselves away and he sings for a day or so. I then spend time re-arranging the songs (which my wife obviously loves)and we use Dropbox these days for collaborating & demos etc). Thanks to all for the comments (especially the Clapton one.
