Just finished another new one, called All I Know. All the instruments are Realtracks/Realdrums, with some strings added. All the vocals are me. I hope you enjoy it! All I Know Here are the lyrics... All I KnowWords and Music copyright Stephen W. YoungStanding there in the middle of my heart The vision of a dream come true Like a pretty picture, or an old post card Reminders of happy times with you All I know is that the sun shines brighter when you're next to me I know the grass is greener right here our my own back yard I know that love is more than a dream, it's reality All I know is we were meant to be And all I know is good enough for me I try to think of ways to let you know Just how I feel when you're around I can't seem to find the words to show Beyond what I can comprehend All I know is that the sun shines brighter when you're next to me I know the grass is greener right here our my own back yard I know that love is more than a dream, it's reality All I know is we were meant to be And all I know is good enough for me ==== Here are the Realtracks/Realdrums used...

Steve,
Wonderful through and through (as always). Beautifully written song - lyric and melody.
Great vocal and harmony (as always). Your use/choice of RealTracks is ALWAYS so nicely done. The low-volume accordion in the background is a brilliant idea (that sounded like something Noel would say, didn't it!). And the tasteful mix of guitars and mandolin is... well,... tasteful!!!
And like Josie said... that intro is sweet.
The whole track has such a wonderful flow.

You are very excellent with your songwriting! I hope to aspire to be as good as you one day. I really loved this song that you just did excellent job, I really love the mandolin.
Music is an expression that is a universal language, Never criticize anybody to harshly. They need time to grow but when they do, they do. Always be kind in what you say and do because the man upstairs is watching.

Well I absolutely did enjoy it. I agree with everyone else that this is top notch stuff! Excellent in every aspect. For some reason every time it goes to the chorus... I just wanna smile. Great job Steve! Greg

Hey Steve,
If you could look through my monitor right as this moment, you'd see me sitting here with an incredibly impressed look on my face. This is an outstanding song: lyrics, melody, arrangement, production and mix. That first line of the chorus is dynamite. It really packs an amazing punch.
In my opinion, this is songwriting at its absolute best.
All the best,
Noel
