A BRIGHTER DAY This is a song that I have posted before but have continued to work on. I started writing it with my co-writer Ron Helm when I was in my late teens (many, many years ago). Ron contributed a couple of lines in the verses. This will probably be my last run at this one. Thanks to those who listen! BIAB Drums - Rock Sync Kick Bass - 683 Pop Half Note Piano - 1264 Pop Shining Guitar - Pop Autoswell Brent Guitar - 2916 Acoustic Rhythm Guitar - 3162 Baritone Me Vocals Guitar leads and fills Piano Organ Synths A Brighter Day Words and music by Torrey Bliss and Ron Helm ©2016 Glass Gate Music I tried but couldn't hide it A pride, too strong to fight it It never turned your love from me For years, I kept denying My heart was cold and dying I was so blind but now I see I'm not alone in this lost and crazy world Your love has no end You gave me one more chance When I'd fallen so far away You've proven you're my best friend You kept me believing That I would see a brighter day For me, all hope was fading Just like a ship that's sailing Lost out on stormy open sea Your Love is so amazing The only thing that saved me I've found the very thing I need You took my fears And you cast them all away Your love has no end You gave me one more chance When I'd fallen so far away You've proven you're my best friend You kept me believing That I would see a brighter day You could have turned your back on me You could have walked away You've proven you'll be faithful 'til the end I'm not alone in this lost and crazy world Your love has no end You gave me one more chance When I'd fallen so far away You've proven you're my best friend You kept me believing That I would see a brighter day

Torrey...this is such a gorgeous song...I'm a sucker for a great mid-tempo song...love the intro with the cool synth and guitar lines...your vocals are exceptional and the melody is so captivating...I am a lover of harmony (you know this) and yours is always so different and interesting and spot-on...so I'm on my third listen trying to pick up things I can steal but I don't have the chops to get any of it...I love it when lyrics fit the melody and groove so well and my brother...you nailed it with this! Super tune!! I wish I could think of someone you remind me of (as you have so graciously done with my stuff)...but you are no one's clone...your sound is unique...best regards...Dan

Yea Torrey
This is a Good write from you as expected, You do suit stepping out of your norm , as I see it , great vocals but on the verses a bit dry ...wee bit more /add some reverb/excitement in the vocals/song as the artists do/done .
I always seen comments on this forum too much reverb, well a think that is the big diff of opinion, from live and recording , a sure as hell loved my studio recordings of the artists i bought on vinyl, cassette !! .
And that started that old ...here we go ..(They never sounded as good on record as they did in concert.). saying..!.
This is now ! and we are here !! Go for it !!.
Excellent lyrics A song a would revisit and try some plug ins Pssst !! Reverb .

The man of many talents hit another home run
Super intro and groove
Your vocal is very strong on this one
Your band is perfect, as are your leads
This song brightened up my day
Loved it

Love those opening guitars. Man, you are so good at these songs, Torrey. You compose the perfect progression and fill it with a wonderfully flowing melody, get the most out of your band and are able to present it with the best vocal --a truly high stand all the way. Your lyrics always flow so easily --at least you make it seem that way. No vowel sound out of place. When the melody calls for you to hold a long note, the word is never 'What." hehe Another beauty, Torrey.

Excellent production Torrey.
A mix of late ELO & Brian May.
Very well written, very well performed and mixed.
Topped with TB vocals...excellent.
Cheers

Hi Torres.
For me, reminiscent of the 1960’s pop bands from Britain (Hollies, Beatles etc.).
Really well produced but I would like to here some extra dynamics here and there.

Thanks Thanks for having a listen. I did originally try a mix with more reverb on the vocals bit it seemed to take the "snap" out of the sound and didn't suit my taste. All In the ears of the individual listener I suppose.

Vic Thanks Vic! I don't know if you mean more dynamics with the music or vocals. If it's the music, there isn't a lot of dynamics to work with when almost totally relying on the BIAB realtracks as I did here, except for an occasional stop or hold here and there. If it's vocally, then that's a different story. I didn't take the time to work out the vocals on this one as much as I do on a lot of other songs.
