https://soundcloud.com/user-427536354/be-yourself Greetings friends. Finished #2 from my sketch vault. Sorry to drop this so close to my last song post so please don't bother to comment unless you want to tell me you hate it which is ok by me. I'm just glad that a few wonderful forum folk get to hear it before it dies on the vine at soundcloud. 3 chord song - verse Bb C# chorus Eb As always, my thanks to biab for making this crazy music trip possible After my last RT's traffic jam I opted to be very frugal with my use of tracks for this outing. Tempo 95 Lyrics on SC TEXASRK.STY (Texas Rock Even) (AAS) Strum 2 1419:Bass, Electric 657:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm 660:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm 417 Sax,Tenor, Motown Rock RockTexas^1-a:Snare, Hihat , b:Snare

Hi Izzy. I love this! What a great message  These are words of wisdom. Your composing and performing are terrific. And your arrangement is outstanding. I love how you started simple and made the backing grow more and more. Everything worked really well for me! --Noel

Very cool song, Izzy. Like the build, vocals and the harmonies on the chorus. The sax solo is inspired. Super mix, too! Hard to pull of the "sudden stop" ending but you did it.

Izzy, a lot of wisdom in those lyrics - brilliant - I really liked them
Great vocal, backing tracks, and mix.

Great song and lyrics I totally relate to. The "Wao" is from my Waoism which is my Way for me. I've never been a follower. As Shakespeare said, "First to thine own self be true."
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

I can relate to your comment about the song dying on the vine on SC.
I like the build you create before the chorus. And that chorus has just the right hook (and good harmonies too).

Great lyric message!
We enjoyed the strong “with soul” vocals and the excellent band.
Great example of a good build with the arrangement and a nice mix.
The sax solo was a good choice.
Sounds like a lost track from Graham Nash’s album “Wild Tales”
Enjoyed it!

PS Our tunes FWIW stay green on the vine much longer on Spotify than SC.
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.

Hey Izzy,
Awesome! I like songs with layers and builds. Keeps a song fresh with anticipation. Super sax solo - and I liked the strong drums. Perfect vocal for the song.
Oh, by the way, I liked it a lot!
Best to you. Tres bien!

Hey, I'm bobbing in the audience here, Izzy. Great song pic starts this one in the perfect mood. As far as I'm concerned you could post everyday. I always say how amazing the Blues are with only 3 chords, but this is over the top. Love the anguish in the background toward the end. Love the vocals with the harmony. Well done. Keep 'em coming.
