Finished this very late for the challenge but better late than never I always say! I wrote this quite quickly after finding out about the challenge, but it took a while to get it sounding how I wanted it to! I decided I wanted to write something positive, trying to capture the hope that this could help us create a better world in the future. I think the lyrics may be a little too on the nose... I think I need to work a bit more on getting the message across in metaphors!! I've made use of the AAS Strum plugin again in this one, I liked it so much after picking it up in the Humble Bundle pack that I decided to take advantage of the offer they had going. I also used the Odesi with the AAS player to put together the synth bass and secondary melody that plays through the chorus. I used the Waves AudioTrack plugin on all of the tracks which is fast becoming my favourite plugin for how quickly it can help get things sounding how I want them to. I also used their Trueverb plugin on all of the tracks as well. On the vocals I also used WavesTune and DeBreath. Style was initially _MIRRORS but I have only used the drums loop (Loop:Pop-Soul-RnB- ra_jule_90_h drums ev16.wav) from the original style and a Supertrack (Synth Ryhthm Rock 80's Miles Black) which was used for Strum plugin guitar. Better World Lyrics: It might seem bad It might seem like It's the end of everything With people sick When we're indoors And can't do anything About it But the truth is That life's a game And we've been playing it wrong We gotta get through We cannot give up Cause when we Walk out that door Oh I'll find that I need you You'll find that you need me We'll find a world where everyone Understands That we gotta love That we gotta live That we gotta work together For that better world So you can't go out And there's nothing to do But listen to the news You might just feel bad And you're starting to ask About the things we all did wrong Now it's time that you learn How to play the game So that everyone can win We gotta get through We cannot give up Cause when we Walk out that door We'll find that I need you We'll find that you need me We'll find a world where we start to Understand That we gotta love That we gotta live That we gotta work together For that better world

Hey, there, Richard ... Your song, Better World, has an intense, 'stripped-down' kind of feel, because of the sparse instrumentation, the poppin' rhythm, and also because of your zeroed-in vocal performance, which with its processed, somewhat monotone sound nicely penetrates the mix and calls close attention to your lyrics that I felt were direct, quite thoughful, and ultimately unifying. It was very imaginative of you to use that Supertrack as the template for the strummed guitar track, too. All in all, it's a tight, well-shaped production with a unique sound texture. You got yourself a new fan, man !!! LOREN (a.k.a. 'bluage')

Thank you so much for your kind words about the song and taking the time to listen Loren! That's exactly what I was going for so I'm glad that it seems like I pulled it off.
