Another "lingering" project that seems ready to post..
In 1921 Dr. Frank Crane wrote a list of 10 daily commitments that I've found so perfect for daily living...so here it is in a song: Just for Today

-------------------
Just for today
Live by the hour;
Just for today
Be like a flower;
Happy for what may come your way;
Bloom to greet the precious day.

Just for today
Don't be a changer;
Just for today
Pray for a stranger;
Do something good with no return;
Misunderstood is no concern.

So much beauty in life deserves my love;
And with my love I know I'll erase some sadness;
Today's the only day--
There's no one to take my place;
I'll live out today with grace;
A simple pace.. and borrow
On tomorrow.

Just for today
Ponder a question;
Just for today
Give a suggestion;
Don't let the moment slip away.
Get up and bloom without delay.

So much beauty in life deserves my love;
And with my love I know I'll erase some sadness;
Today's the only day--
And no one will take my place;
I'll live out today with grace;
And on my mind's face
An angel's smile
Just for today.

Very different intro. Cool backtrack. Really liked the vocal. The song really picked up as it went along. Well done

Nice work on this one Tano A very unique listen, and but very distinct and catchy none the less. I like the progressions here, and your vocals are among the best I've heard so far.

Excellent job - thanks for sharing!

Scott and Deryk..thanks for the comments and feedback..appreciate the listen!

Yes, as mentioned, somewhat different but very enjoyable. As the song progressed, it became more and more flushed out. That sax solo was particularly nice - too bas it wasn't longer.

Nice song and nice delivery! Best to you.

Alan

Thanks Alan, thanks for listening..

Hi, Tano !


This is really a superb
tune ! A young Bacharach
came to mind but don´t let
that affect you, it is all
original you and very good
indeed !

Cheers
Dani

Although it is somewhat different it is an excellent song. Excellent vocals in this. Your mix was spot on.

This was a very enjoyable listen.

I really like this.

It's easy to tell that you've put a huge effort into arranging and producing the music to give you the exact orchestral/instrumental backing that you required. To my ears, you have been meticulous in creating this production.

All the best,
Noel

Dani, Mario, Noel...thanks for the feedback..appreciate you taking the time to listen!

Words to live by. Love the placement of the sax solo. Nice arrangement. Nice job. Thank you for sharing.

Dave

Nice tune with a positive message!! I always enjoy a little philosophy in a song. The musical groove is nice. EP works very well. Enjoyed this!! Take care. Greg

Slow build, but catchy. A nice listen.

Tano

Quite different and clever. Nice work all round.

Peter

Dave, Greg, David, Peter...again, thanks for your comments!!

That must have taken some time. There are so many things that come in and out, here and there. Nice job!

Thanks HearToLearn, very nice comments!

Very positive song in every way. Very nice arrangement, I like those percussions. Could be a nice song for a musical.

Janne

Thanks Janne...

Very nice!

We really love it when a member posts something that is very different and creative and enjoyable.

You nailed all three!

J&B

You spoil me with your kind comments...I think that is one of the "Just for Today" suggestions!
Thanks!

Hello, Tom

Timpani at intro. is very nice.
A slow marching approach dominating A part melody is very effective.
I also think that it is a very musical style music as Greg says.
Your preference of composing is appearing everywhere.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thanks Shigeki..I see the same type of variety of styles in your work! I think this is the way to expand composing skills!

Tano Music, I enjoyed listening to your tune! It’s a really nice jazzy pop blend. I really like that major to minor change in your verse! Thanks, Torrey
