Hello Musical Friends, Wanted to drop this off...a little mantra of sorts, mostly a self-soothe project. Happy to receive your comments, positive or not. Thanks! Things Are Working Out Style is _CMPFBLF.STY (Campfire, Fingerpicked) RealTracks in song: ~~2503:Piano, Acoustic, HeldChords 085 RealTracks in style: ~~365:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085 RT 3664 Dulcimer RT 2820 Harp Loop Hip/Hop Old School Hard Bell Lyrics: Things are always always working out for me No matter what it seems What's meant to be will always be What's not will never come and what's done is done Things are always always working out for me Things are always moving towards our greater good Things are always always working out for us Things are always turning out as they should Easy to forget forget there's a greater plan Remember to detach Expectations lead to suffering What will be will be in letting go we are set free

Hi Beth!
Good to hear a new song posted by you. This has a good calming pace to the song - your calming vocals aided by the arpeggio harp and guitar. Did I hear the tubular bells make a cameo as well? Perfect!
Lyrically, I loved the positive and encouraging nature of the words, and the stand out was the line about expectation brings suffering - it is easy to suffer under the weight of our own expectations. Going with the flow can allow one to see the good in everything.
I found the last chorus to be hypnotically soothing - really good. The interwoven counter melody in parts added to it nicely.
My only feedback is the closing minor chord - I would have expected major - but is that a musical symbol about going with the unexpected?

Beth, gorgeous song! Love the positive, meditative lyrics. Super vocals, and you use harmonies to great effect. Nice acoustic band with enough variety to keep it interesting without losing the feeling. The bell loop is used very effectively, too. The song might resolve on a Maj7 instead of Min to preserve the positivity, but that's a nit. Love it!

Beth,
An absolutely beautiful and serene song...
I love the lyrics and harmonies. I also think this is your best vocal yet.
Worth many listens.

Very beautifully sounding band, I liked especially the harp and the bell and how they add to the right moments. And your voice is very expressive and emotional, lovely harmonies. Nice melody and chording support your mantra, great message that should be playing in my mind so that I could let go by thinking "expectations lead to suffering", so true, really speaks to me. Simple, yet very powerful, folk music at its finest.

Acoustic guitar, a piano and a beautiful voice are all you need. Beautiful, I especially dig your harmonies and the overall positive vibe. One day I'll probably write a positive song too. Or not

Oooo. Saw this one posted a few days ago, and had to wait until now to listen. A wonderfully positve mantra beautifully put to music and angelically sung. The best halo is tilted for sure. Love those intricate harmonies, Beth.
