Dear Forum Friends

Greetings! I hope everyone is well and in a great mood. If not, I hope this tune helps. We call it "Keep Looking Up." It's a pop rock tune that reminds me of the optimism of some of the songs from the 1960s. Although I truly believe in the power of positive thinking, I often have to remind myself to focus on the good things in life and look forward to bright days. So keep looking up (unless there's a flock of birds overhead!)


Here's the song link and website link

Enjoy. I hope to hear from you.

I figured it was time for a new picture.

Josie, I've been taking some production training and picked a few tips on vocal arrangement. Glad you found it inspirational.

Wow - what a tune! The chorus on this tune is incredible. I can honestly say by the second chorus I was singing along in my head. Not to mention, the arrangement as well as your vocal performance are both flawless.

Fantastic work here - thanks for sharing smile

Heh. I was thinking "the vocal sounds a bit bare..." when the harmony kicked in on the chorus. laugh

Yep, you nailed that 60's upbeat sound.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
