The Greatest Is Love

Thanks so much for listening - feedback, good and bad, is always welcome!

RealTracks in style: ~542:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Dreamy Ev 085

RealTracks in style: 2334:String Quartet, Rhythm PopChamber Ev 085

Lyrics (adapted from the First Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians):

If I speak like an angel
but have no love
I'm like a cymbal
Clanging too loud.

If I see the future
And know everything
But have no love,
Then I'm nothing.

And if I have faith
Or self-sacrifice,
If I've no love
It don't suffice.

For what IS love like?
It's patient and it's kind;
It doesn't brag loudly
Nor has its pride.

It evil ignores,
Embracing us all,
And never fails,
Whatever may fall.

For everything else
Is here for a time
But love stays with us
Forever the same.

For now I look, slowly,
Into a mirror, so ...
But then I will know
Just as I'm known.

And so three remain,
Love, hope and faith;
But the greatest of these
Is love, always.

Nice work on this too musician17! The arrangement is a pleasure to listen to and rhythm is easy to follow. The movement of the strings flows with the other instrumentation nicely. Well done!


Cheers,
Joe

musician17, very good job putting this backing together for this wonderful message! It's funny how we had similar themes in our songs this week! There's probably a higher power at work here working these things out! Thanks for your efforts in this production! Torrey

Hello James ...

A wonderful song with a perfect message for us to live by. Your spoken vocal delivery is always a pleasant listen for me. Your voice is made for this style. I thoroughly enjoyed my listen. Thanks for the inspiration and wonderful listen.

Jim, Steve and Joe: Thank you! really, really kind words!

Torrey: Yes! - sometimes a higher power seems to indeed be at work, co-ordinating things. I've listened and commented on your own track, which I really enjoyed! I'm glad you enjoyed this effort of mine :-)

Al-David: Thank you so much for your kind comments - especially about my vocal delivery. I've always been unusually insecure about my voice, whether speaking lyrics or singing them - so it's so nice to hear positive comments about it.

You're all too kind, but thank you ever so much, every single one of you.

Nicely done smile It flows beautifully, and your vocal delivery really packs a punch here. Easy to close your eyes and get lost in.

Great work, and thanks for sharing!

A super message, one that we all should live by, backed by the perfect backing tracks. Your phrasing was perfect.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.
