Mr. Moto...

I worry about the same things your lyrics are concerned about, and I congratulate you on your sensitivity to what's going on and having the courage to put your thoughts into musical form.

Personally, I believe the solution to the world problems you are lamenting over is so simple that it takes an act of willful blindness not to see it, but it would be improper for me to pursufe that line of thought here in the User's Forum.

Regardless, your song expresses palpable emotions that your Real Track selections magnify in a compelling way. Your vocal performance is heart-felt, too. The production radiates a sense of quiet despair, but also manages to keep a small light of hope burning as well.

It's a needful addition to the User's Forum archives.

blueage,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments.
I can be the judge of my own songs but, I can say, the ones that seem to be received well are those that speak to current events.
Most of my songs are rooted in my observations of the world around me.

Thanks again
moto

So simple yet deep. Loved your voice, the general sad vibe (it didn't depress me, it touched me). This tune could be a film score, I had plenty of images while listening to it!

Hi Captain,

This is a very sensitive and beautiful song.
It's extra sweet when the high vocals come in.
Simple but very effectively performed.
I only have one but; it's too short!

I enjoyed it very much,
Hans

Thanks Hans,
My vocals have never been described as sweet...I'll humbly accept that comment.

Poignant. A simple but distinct message with sympathetic arrangement.
Less is more.

Captain, you set the bar extremely high with this one and I'm glad that I didn't miss it! Although I'm sure that everything I would say already has been said.

Super vocal! Outstanding lyrics and mix.

Your best to date IMHO.

More Moto Magic from the good Captain.

"This one reflects my observations of our current human condition.
People embracing wild conspiracies, authoritative leaders and fostering hate instead of love."


Small nit. I just need to know some specific examples for your dismay to fully engage with the intended message.... Or perhaps I shouldn't think so much and just enjoy your song.
Excellent emotive vocal delivery and backing band. Well Done.
regards
Gary.

Thanks Vic,
I'm starting to think simple is my thing.

Hey Gary,
Thanks for listening and providing input.
I think I unstained your "nit".
As an example of my motivation, we had a congress woman blame laser beams from space as the cause of California wild fires......that to me, is a complete disconnect from reality and the truth.
I suppose I could have been more direct in my lyrics to inform the listener but, I choose to keep it less specific.
I'd have to agree with your observation though.
It's the writer's responsibility to inform and engage the listener.

After reading this, the song takes on a whole new meaning for me... I get it, and appreciate it much more now...
