Here's my latest song. I've been playin around with the progression for the last month, but just got the lyrics done last week. I got my recording done yesterday... and I'm still listening to the mix for tweaks.  All comments welcome. Hope you enjoy! Greg http://achordmusic.mymusicstream.com/track/seasons-of-your-lifeAll vocals are me. My Martin Acoustic "Dean"  has a couple of brief appearances, at the intro & before the 3rd verse. All "my" recording & mixing are done in Reaper. Here are the RealTracks used: Drums_NashvilleEven16^5 Bass_RT366 Cello_RT1856 Background Guitar_RT364 Acou Fingerpk Guitar_RT702 Acou Strum Guitar_RT1002 Acou 12str Strum Guitar_RT803 Elec Rhythm Guitar_RT806 Elec Rhythm Piano_RT894 ©2013 Words & Music: Greg Achord Seasons Of Your Life I wish I’d known way back when the things that I know now It seems that wisdom’s lost on youth they’re just headstrong & oh so proud Think you’ve got it figured out you must be right ‘cause you can’t be wrong Oh to be so young and strong When I was young time moved so slowly at least it seemed that way So many rules for children that I didn’t want to obey Looking back I realize that innocence is lost Growing old it has it’s cost The seasons of your life pass by there’s no stopping time Spring turns to summer then the leaves fall from the vine The winter’s coming quickly now who knows how long it will last Forget the things that you can’t change hold onto the love It all goes by so fast Don’t forget your days of youth the memories should always be there Filled with love & laughter and the one’s for whom you’ve cared It’s all just a journey now from the beginning to the end Chances are not what you planned (Chorus)

Hi Greg,
I enjoyed this one a great deal. The reflective / philosophical nature of the lyrics was supported very skilfully by the melody and harmony. Great arrangement, too. It sounded fine to me. I don't think too much in the way to tweaking is needed.
All the best,
Noel

Hi Greg,
I absolutely agree with Noel.
And I like the backing oohs.

Greg,
I absolutely agree with Guenter.
Who absolutely agreed with Noel, but added the thing about the oohs. +1 to that.
You're on a roll, there, buddy... keep it up!

What they all said. It is, indeed, reflective. Not a similar song but it put me in the same mood that occurs when I listen to Bob Seeger's "Like A Rock." Thanks for sharing.

Noel, Thanks so much for the listen and the comments. I've decided I have to re-do the intro guitar part as I keep hearing where I muted right before the vocal, when it should ring out.  My wife doesn't think it's big deal,... but it's drivin' me crazy.  Guenter, Thank you for agreeing with Noel and for noticing the Ooo's. I think that's two in a row now. Floyd, Of course, thank you for agreeing with those who were in agreement on what to agree on! jo, Your welcome and thanks for listening. Don, Thank you too. Bud, Thank you for the comments. It makes me happy that my song can affect your mood!  Thank you all again, Greg

I always enjoy your songs Greg, and this one is no exception. You really manage to achieve clarity and cohesion in your mixes. We must have grown up listening to the same music because your songs sit easy on my ears
