UP & ON
A dose of positivity without cliche.
Fab. Thanks Ray! J&B Thank you for that message, I needed that ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Like Floyd, I think "less is more, more or less" is poetry at its finest. I will definitely steal that. I wish you both happy holidays too and a good start to 2024  Glad you liked it! J&B

Absolutely loved this you two, what a great way to end out the year! Janice, you remind me of my wife, Kathy. She is also always full of optimism and positive attitude. Just the opposite of me  But, that sort of attitude is definitely infectious  Happy New Year!

WONDERMENT
less is more, more or less
there is no way to happiness
don’t you know that happiness is the
way-ay-ay-ay
look over here, look over yonder,
always be on the lookout for wonder,
here’s my gift to you
my optimistic attitude, ooh, ooh, ooh
treasure life’s melody that’s so divine
share your smile, let your inner light shine
open your eyes and hearts and minds
to joy and peace and hope and love
may this holiday season fill your hearts with love
thanks to PG Music, forum members, family & friends
here’s to a happy new year full of music and joy for us all! As Smokey and the Miracles said: I Second That Emotion. Bonne année 2024 à tous !

Superb! What a wonderful anthem to all the good things that are and will be. Fabulous vocals by Janet! Love the SoundCloud pic of Janet in guitar slinger persona, too. Looking forward to the album version as well...

I think I just heard the female McCartney. The melody and chords along with the optimism echoes the greatness of the Beatles. The opening line is the hook and a great one at that. The vocal speaks for itself because we all know by now that she could sing a menu and leave you completely undecided because it all sounds so good. Thank you both for all you’ve done for the forum and for me personally and I hope you both have an uplifting, high on life, and hopeful New Year! Tom

Oh, pessimistic Bud, I don't think I know you. You always seem so uplifting. That could be the Janice Influence. Maybe if one is up, the other is down, and you guys show that strong balance in this wonderful Wonderment. Thanks so much for all you do. I thoroughly enjoy the help you've given me --all of us. Janice, you recently mentioned that your best friends these days are right here in the forum, and I totally agree with that. A wonderful giving community of helpful and encouraging songwriters. All the folks at PGMusic are also extraordinary in their support and creativity, which in today's coporate world is unheard of. Enjoy the rest of this season, and I look forward to what you'll sahre in the coming year. Oh, wait, I didn't mention the song. So less is more. Thanks for sharing those positive thoughts Marty and best to you and yours over the new year and beyond! J&B

Super lyrics Janice.
Great arrangement and mix Bud.
We need more optimism to counter the situation the world is currently in.
Great song

In a world filled with doom and gloom messages it's good to hear the uplifting message of "joy and peace and hope and love". We can all use a little bit more of that in our lives.
Well done.

Thanks for joy and love you have given us on this forum over the years. Wonderment is a beautiful song of praise to optimism and this family of BIAB people. "treasure life’s melody that’s so divine share your smile, let your inner light shine" great lines, I hope I can share even a fraction of smile you have expressed through your music. Happy and very productive New Year!
Janne
