I wrote this after listening to country music stations on a trip from NJ to Georgia and back in 2005:

It’s Finally Spring, and I don’t need a thing,
Just the green of the trees everywhere.
It’s Finally Spring, and I don’t need a thing,
But the scent of the flowers in your hair.

When I look in your deep blue eyes,
I see everything we can be.
I can hardly keep my feet on the ground,
When I think of you smilin’ at me.

It’s Finally Spring, It’s Finally Spring,
It’s Finally Spring, It’s Finally Spring.

[instrumental break]

It’s Finally Spring, and I don’t need a thing,
Not a cloud in the heavens so blue,
It’s Finally Spring, and I don’t need a thing,
But to spend every minute with you.

When I look in your deep blue eyes,
I see everything we can be.
I can hardly keep my feet on the ground,
When I think of you smilin’ at me.

It’s Finally Spring, It’s Finally Spring,
It’s Finally Spring, It’s Finally Spring.

Very melodic, nicely presented, and it's interesting that you used Audacity for the mixing.
Audacity is somewhat underrated and under-represented, but is incredibly powerful, as you have shown.

Bob, nice write and GREAT showcase of BiaB instruments. Very smooth vocals and harmonies. Extremely easy on the ears.

Spring brings both warmth and pollen here, so it's a double edged sword. smile

Bob,

This is my first time listening to you. I'm delighted with my listen. I like the casual delivery and the backing tracks you chose. Nice vocals, too!

I also use Audacity as my mixing tool. It's now pretty much a basic DAW.

Wishing you the best.

Alan

Really enjoyed this. I esp liked how the “second time around” you doubled up the vocal, differentiating it from the first go-round. Fine use of the BIAB components. Very relaxing and pleasant!

You achieved a warm, gentle sound with this production. Good vocal and harmony! The music captures the essence of the lyrics, and I really like the chorus.

An enjoyable listen. I like the instrumentation as well as the lyrics and vocals.

#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
