Every part of this is just so well done. Congrats!


Coming from you, those comments mean so much. I know you are one of ones who pay attention to what goes into a song. Your word choices made me smile! I so very much appreciate your comments!

Charlie, you are too kind my friend. I'm so glad you like what you heard! I always enjoy a review from you; and I know you're not one to sugar coat it. I appreciate that.

Be well and stay safe!

Had a thought...

If someone (in Nashville or otherwise) decides to rush this to radio (which they should)...

...suppose they decide that it is not wise to assemble the necessary crew in a studio to make this happen.

...And suppose, then, that they decide to ask for YOUR tracks to have the "star" sing to (in a small, controlled environment - as few people as possible)...

...and then they use those same tracks to mix the single to release to radio!!

How cool would it be to have a known example of BIAB tracks being used for a release.

Not to mention - YOU being the drummer on that release!!

Here's hoping all of that happens (soon).

Very professional sounding, great production. Great singing handling all those words very fluently. Anthemic message packaged with a catchy melody, reminds me of Billy Joel's We Didn't Start The Fire.

HearToLearn, this is a top level awesome song in every aspect! Probably one the best ever posted here as far as I'm concerned! The vocals are pro level and I don't throw that term around lightly!! They are some of the best I've heard! Great uplifting tune that shows respect to those who deserve it! Here's hoping for you that this tune reaches far beyond this forum because it deserves a much bigger audience! Bravo! Thanks, Torrey

Caaron ...

This should be blaring from just about every radio station in the country ... it's pure magic that bridges genre, politics and human emotion. I'll keep this short and simple: As disabled Vietnam vet and Army retiree, I offer you my best and most sincere salute. Thank you for this wonderful message wrapped so wonderfully in some of the best music and production I've heard in a very long time.

Wishing you the very best. Please be safe ...

Alan

I truly believe this outstanding song should be heard by more than just the people on this forum.


Thanks Mario! I do have a copyright on it. It's also registered with BMI. The last step has been getting it all on the major streaming sites and for purchase. It's a song that has been pitched to several artists; but I'm realistic about that. What I didn't anticipate where the number of performers and writers who are making TONS of music; because they are at home. It's lagging things a bit; but it's getting there.

Thanks so much for the kind and encouraging words!

Well, we think all the superlatives were used up in record forum time for this production.

Having front line family and friends we took the liberty of posting this to our fb site.

There's really no need in our opinion to parse it all out for comment as for a song
like this it's the entire package that shines. And the totality of it is a memorable production that delivers the message like an avalanche. But without a whit of sappiness in the to the point great lyric.

A message that crosses so many divisive lines and stimulates positive thoughts of UNITY.

Superb to the max!

What a track this is sounding awesome, vocals are just excellent and the production, marching drums, the whole layout is great,
lyrics amazing fit, This leads me searching for your past posts as I have never come across a post of one of your songs, It sounds completely different to your earlier posts, even your voice sounds different did you use an effects to get the growl upfront sound.

To me its like a Nashville/eagles kind of style.

Thanks

Take care

C.Aaron, Tremendous work on this. Huge drum sound with some fabulous playing by you. Whoever your singer is absolutely killed it. The vocal is outrageously good! This is a fine write capped off with a mix that matches the epic proportion of the project. A super big bravo to you and whoever else was involved, Tom
