Hello Janice and Bud, Scott, Leon, Dave and Andi,

Thanks a lot for listening to the song and your posts.
And that they were so positive too!
Better than the mood of the content of the song.
So, now I believe it is possible we can make a difference 😉

Excellent write as evidenced by the above.

The mashup of styles works very well in expressing the tension in the world these days.
The mix was obviously a lot of work and the result is excellent.
Great use of RTs!

Your vocals are powerful, John, (uh, we meant Hans 😉)
Hopefully there will be enough of us who want to make a difference!
Well done!
J&B

Hi J&B, your use of John instead of Hans can't be a mistake anymore. Thanks a lot!
In another occasion concerning this song, he wrote I was more close to John than to Paul (same band then), because of the way my lyrics went.
And when that happens you know (that's me) you (that's you all) can't be wrong.
There is one 'but': my family immediately started yawning spontaneously when I told them this...
I don't know why, but it most be some kind of overkill for their (strange working) brains?
So, we (the artists around here) have to show them the difference!

Hello Scott, Thanks you mentioned that chord progression too. I tried all kinds of progressions to cought that sphere I had in my head for the topic in this song.
And when I got it, it went fast. Till the mixing of it all...
But I learned a lot from those challenges.

Hi Leon, you are absolutely right about that. That is what often worries me. Especially in the middle of the night...
And, yes the title has a hopefull call in it too. Although we're not that naive, right? That's why I added the Beatles' words (Let it be?), as a little cynical joke.
Thanks!

Excellent vocals, and I really like the way you produced them, the doubling is very effective.
One of your best I think, loved everything about it.

Hello Dave, thanks a lot! Your nice words made my day (again). But they also raised the bar!
I hope I can find the inspiration to achieve that new standard. A real challenge, but I will accept!
Also because you used the same words too for another song I made recently. So, I think I'm on the right track...

Hi Andi, a very nice post from you! As I wrote to Dave (above this one) it raises the bar, but I like to accept the challenge.
I only need you and the forum to make that difference 😉😉
