I've never posted before, so this is as much a test of the post working, as well as showcasing the song and arrangement.

The piece reflects my teen years as a missionary kid in South America, being exposed to all kinds of technology, living styles, and political changes in our world.

Very nice Wayne!! I don't think I've heard anything from you. This has a very sweet quality-sort of a jazzy Buffett feel. I'd like to see the RTs posted-the "band" works very well. "I owned the world that day, in a small way"-That's very nice! Really enjoyed it! Take care. Greg

Welcome, Wayne...

That's quite a list of songs you have. What took ya so long to get here?

As Greg said, there is a bit of a Buffett vibe to this (always a good thing). And like Guenter, I'd like to see a lyric...(and RT list?).

A very nice sound. An enjoyable listen.

Who is Furtado?

Wayne,
a great start that you managed to get something up.
I like the narrative and the colour of your voice.
There are, to my ear, some phrasing issues with your singing.
Places where pauses, sustains and so forth would make your lyrics and melody fit the backing a little more to get the best from the qualities you offer.
The backing seems to have an ebb n flow , swell and reduce feeling as instruments come in and out. You might get a more successful dynamic with a rethink/remix.
As I said - GREAT start and a very promising song.


Cheers

what Floyd said.

Welcome to the forum! I hope you'll participate here by listening and commenting on other peoples' songs. It's a real community, and those who join in actively tend to get the most out of it.

I like the concept of "I owned the world" .. the song contains some very interesting imagery. I liked the guitar intro... good use of real tracks in general. Based on the number of songs on your Revrbnation site, I figure we'll be hearing more from you!
