You are the winner of the most relatable song on the forum. Lyrics are spot on.

I like the melody. A bit bouncy!

Dave continues to add guitar bits that mold into the song.

Marty and Dave,

A great message song!
Dave's guitar phrases really liven up the song.
Your vocals are great too.
A variant of the blues progression is totally appropriate for this song.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

For me, the bass sounds a little boomy. Maybe a hi eq filter needed or maybe my ears need washing out.

Vic

Thanks, Vic. Yeah, I think the bass is probably a little too loud now that you mention it. That boominess would go away if the bass sat better in the mix. When I'm mixing I always have to remind myself I'm not mixing a bass-players album. haha. I know I am, but it shouldn't sound that way. Thanks for that.

Loved it.

Ah, The Twisted Optimist --great title, Ray. Dude, I love your comments. Keep up the good word, man.

Man, Scott, you are the best. You promote my songs here, on YT, Soundcloud and FB. Thanks so much, brother. Keep creating.

Inspires me to keep writing - and that's just about the highest compliment I know how to give :-)

Thanks, James. No one here needs this kind of advice, but there are so many others out there that waste so much time trying to please an imaginary audience that they miss the fun of letting Creativity take control. That's why the best music I hear is right here. Yes, it is the highest compliment you give, but you obviously don't need any nudge for inspiration. You're creative cup is runnithing over.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Lovely message, as a songwriter very easy to cherish and relate to. Let your own star shine smile
"I'm doing it because I can't help it" & "The meaning of life is to create.", glad you put those ideas into a great song! And without possibility to create, there would be no life. And BIAB makes it easy for us to be real stars.
Nice and positive catchy melody, the positivity is also beautifully reflected in the video. You have found great colorful clips for it.
"your singing gets better with each song" I agree with B.D.Thomas.
Sounds like Dave was born just to play his guitar in this song, great work!

BTW. you manage to release a "Star" song just before me wink

Oh, no, thank you, Dave. You know it's an open invitation. Can't wait to see the video for your new one.

I agree with B.D. thomas your singing gets better every time (a little bit more each time, because they were already very nice, but still...).

Dave also did (again) a very good job on the lead guitar. One can only enjoy what he's doing, so nice to listen to.
I think his guitar play is lifting every song (if needed).

Take a break for some hours,
Hans

Thanks, Hans. Right now I have 3 ready for posting, and roughly 6 in process. Cut it out. You have that many, too, I know. Yeah, you're so right about Dave making songs so much better withhis crafty playing. I've thrown him a few curve balls and he knocked 'em all out of the park on the first pitch.


Enjoy whatever happens!

“Cater to creation forget their expectation
and listen to the drive that makes you whole. “

Oh yeah! Delightful lyric.

Marty, your lead and tight harmonies are very good and we feel like we’re sitting in the same room as you. That bass man is really nailing it all down!

Dave’s solo, in addition to his intro and fills, is excellent.

We couldn’t agree more with you on the pure joy and creativity (and friendships) that PG Music has provided.

And as always your vid nails the sentiment of the tune.

Keep ‘em coming!

Thanks, Scott. As a strong voice in the choir, you surely know it by heart and soul. Man, you're right about Dave. He really knows how to interpret a song --any style.

Thank you, Brad. In my mind you all HAVE written the song, and all royalties will be split. I'm good with zero divided by zero. [Interesting fact: this so-called western world didn't use a zero until the 13th century. Fibonacci learned it from someone from India while they were both visiting Africa. That won't be on the test.]

Janne, I love your star song. So cool. Well said here about without creativity there is no life. Right! As far as my vocals improving... well, for the first time in my life I'm practicing before pushing record. Until visiting here, I only used BiaB to make demos for others to sing. Thanks, Janne.

Hi, Misha. Miss ya. The party can't start without you. I believe this whole forum should have a wider audience. The stuff on here is often so much better than what they are fed by the industry.
