Hey all! Hope everyone is doing OK during this pandemic! Ugh!

It's been a while since I finished an original song, so here ya go. Used BIAB for the Bass and Drums and finished the song up using stuff from Ableton. Don't remember which style I used - I'm so bad and being organized with that!

Anyway, hope you like:

DON’T WORRY BABY
(music & lyrics by m. mcgeehan)
Oh what do I know
It’s what you show me
That guides me through my life
And when I fell
You held me
And said it would be alright…..
Just take it easy
Don’t worry baby
If….
I’m feeling alone
or I’m secluded
You’ll show me the way out
And when I hide
You find me
And say it will be alright
Just take it easy
Don’t worry baby
Where do you get
Where do you get the strength to always go
To places I went long ago

Mmmmmm

And when I fell
You held me
And said it would be alright

Just take it easy
Don’t worry baby

it’ll be alright

Just take it easy
Don’t worry baby
Don’t worry baby

It's hard to pull off a song called "Don't Worry Baby" without it sounding like a Beach Boys cover...
But, you know what bro???
You did it. This is a good song.
A positive message that we really need in these times.
The music is soothing and your vocals are smooth and on key.
Thanks for posting it, I enjoyed listening to it.

Hey, this is most enjoyable.

Musically, lyrically and vocally.

The video clip is pretty neat too.

I think you've really delivered something quite remarkable here.

Lovely stuff. Excellent vocal treatment.
The kick drum's clickiness is out of character though.


Cheers

This is all around excellent. You've really done a great job with all aspects of the song, and the vocals are very pleasing. I agree with Greg Johnson that there's some Roy Orbison vibes in there. The video really added a lot of interest too it really carries the message across.

Thanks for sharing!
