Easygoing folk, positive lyrics, nicely sung.
The vibe fits the song perfectly! Thanks, David. Nice one Marty,
you're in fine voice.
The blend in the bridge is excellent.
It takes the overthinking ground engineer to keep the pilot in the clouds but both need a break from the separate stresses.
Lovely song.
I'm sure your wife will, listen, smile, thank you and then worry about something else.
Thanks, Ray. I was worried about the bridge. I had the fretless way too high, then way too low, then the same with the synth. I always try to make the Bridge another version of the same song. Glad you mentioned it. Your opinions are very valuable. Greetings from my wife to yours, Marty  I like the song and your lyrics, and you have a great sense of vocal harmonies. Arrangement and mix are good too, so no complaints from my side. a high C-5 string fretless [...] I hear in my head . I would worry about this... Ha, thanks, BD. I'll tell her. Haha. Not sure if you meant I should worry that that kind of stuff invades my head or that the fretless was uncalled for. Guess that's why I don't worry so much --I don't get it. hehe Loved the message in the song Marty.
Sounds great here.
If only I could, I would gladly trade in my crown as self proclaimed Queen of the worrywarts.
But I'm better about it than I once was so that's something.
Josie AH, Josie, keep up the good work. hehe Thanks for your listen and comment.

Well, Bud is the worrier of J&B so I guess we are like you and Barb in rounding each other out.  This is a real treat, Marty. The laid back feel is enjoyable and a perfect backing for the lyric. We also enjoyed that sax solo. The arp guitar was nice also. The video worked well, per usual, and your cameos were most cool. Your bass mods to the bridge worked fine for us although they are subtle on the monitors - no problem with subtlety in mixing No worries! J&B
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos

Really nice Marty!!! I doubt your wife likes to worry........some of us are just wired that way, despite the recognition that it isn't fun or productive. Love the message and feel of the song, and ALWAYS love the emotion in your vocal!! Great stuff!!! Take care. Greg

A calm song to calm the worrier. I dig your message. I'm not much of a worrier either.
Nice work Marty. The sax solo is a nice touch.

om
Thank you, OM. Marty,
The easy soothing music you make here matches your kind message beautifully.The lyrics have some nice word plays to lighten the wisdom... which is universal.
Good vocal and an entertaining video... I thought the guy looking in was Willie Nelson at first, but now I`m wondering if we are seeing you?
Robert
Thanks, Robert. YEs, that's me as the peeping tom. Not something I should have on my resume, huh?

Hi Marty, nothing new to say about the song what's not already said. And every compliment on a segment of the song was brought at least 4 times !
So I keep it simple; enjoyed your sweet song very much. I thought I heard you've had a cold, but that one must be new, because no one else mentioned it.
And, take it as a huge compliment, because singing so nice and sensitive as you did (even with a cold) is a great thing!
And I don't think your wife is such a big worrier (...), she knows you for some time I thinkl. It's you who has al those worries. That's why you make a song of it. But if I skip this crazy talk, what stays is you made a wonderful song with very nice lyrics. And now your wife has to worry. it's you getting all the attention, but you deserved it! Thumbs up!!!
Hans

Marty,
What a great intro and song's arrangement!
We thought that your voice could be a little bit more "hot" at times!
Cool background vocals!
Rob was expecting a solo right before or right after the bridge, b ut was pleasantly surprised by the saxophone solo that came a little later.
Rob and Anne-Marie Thanks, Rob and Anne-Marie. If you're saying the vocal should be louder, maybe, but hot I'm not. hehe Now, with a real singer like you two I wouldn't need to hide all the faults. Glad the sax surprised you. The multi tracks were much quicker to fashion than the last one. Hi BabuMusic,
Very endearing composition by your lyrics by the sung words. It's very pleasant to listen to. I apprecied.

alias JaniJackFlash Thanks so much, JaniJackFlash. You're always so encouraging. Well, Bud is the worrier of J&B so I guess we are like you and Barb in rounding each other out. This is a real treat, Marty. The laid back feel is enjoyable and a perfect backing for the lyric. We also enjoyed that sax solo. The arp guitar was nice also. The video worked well, per usual, and your cameos were most cool. Your bass mods to the bridge worked fine for us although they are subtle on the monitors - no problem with subtlety in mixing No worries! J&B Thanks, you guys!! Yeah, I was hoping you even noticed the basses in the bridge. I had them way too loud, then way too soft, but I thought it was close to the Goldilocks Just Right setting. The volume was mostly dictated by the last glis just before the solo. Perhaps a better approach would have been to add a volume envelope so I could increase certain parts. Really nice Marty!!! I doubt your wife likes to worry........some of us are just wired that way, despite the recognition that it isn't fun or productive. Love the message and feel of the song, and ALWAYS love the emotion in your vocal!! Great stuff!!! Take care. Greg Thanks, Greg! You're right about the wiring. BeBe is good at it --driven by it even. Unlike me. I see you have a new one here, and I'm in a hurry to go listen. Thanks.

Very nice song Marty! Great sounds and mix. I agree, "dust" may have been a better word than "rust", but man this a really good write. Fantastic message and title, and so many good lines in it. Good use of the sax and great harmonies.

Marty,
This is a pretty song! I love your positive approach to everything you do! That vibe rings through in this one! It doesn't seem right that you're not playing bass here, but I understand your reasoning! Loved that sax solo! Vocals and harmony are great! Great job!
Thanks, Torrey

What a sweet, sweet song! It actually made me feel calmer, as I was listening. You are so talented, and have a real gift for communicating, especially. Made me smile and forget about things, for a while. And that ending is beautiful, took me a little by surprise :-) . Well done; first song I listened to, this morning, what a way to set up the day.

Nice work Marty. The sax solo is a nice touch. Hello, Scott. Your comments are always so kind and positive. Thanks for all your encouragement. I still play your album Ghosts That Never Lived when cleaning up the studio. My go-to album for that chore. That's from when i thought your name was Ezekiel. Hi Marty, nothing new to say about the song what's not already said. And every compliment on a segment of the song was brought at least 4 times !

Hi Hans. My mom never told me I have a brother in the Netherlands, but I;m so glad I found you. You might be right about that left-hand-doesn't-know-what-the-right-is-doing psychology, but I never worry about it. Very nice song Marty! Great sounds and mix. I agree, "dust" may have been a better word than "rust", but man this a really good write. Fantastic message and title, and so many good lines in it. Good use of the sax and great harmonies. Thank, Brad. Yeah, I really can't believe the rust still shows. My usual process of writing lyrics is to just write what comes in at the moment, and it will naturally be fixed along the way. It now sticks out like a drowning victim holding up 3 fingers. Marty,

Thanks, Torrey Oh, thanks so much for all your kind words, Torrey. Although I won't bump a song after it reaches page 2, I still read every message that comes after that. You are very special, brother.

Awesome tune Marty. I have decided not to worry about anything anymore. Just take one day at a time and try and find something enjoyable in each day. No more CNN or Fox news. Traded them for pizza reviews. Awesome vocal and lyric. Sax was very cool. Well done

Hi, James. Hey, I just listened to your Songs Of Glee, although it was third this morning. My comment started much like yours here: "Sweet, James," and I resisted to add "Baby." Thanks so much!

Thanks, Scott.

Haha. Guess that makes me special. It's the songs more than the production that draws be back. My next stop is One time.
