Somewhere In The World on Soundcloud
Somewhere In The World on YouTube


A song about...oh,I don't know...some innate search for some Eden maybe?

File:Somewhere In The World-C#m.SGU
Style is _BISECT.STY (Bisect British Psych Funk Rhythm)

RealTracks in style: ~689:Organ, B3, Background Pop Ev 085
RealTracks in style: 3442:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm BritPsycFunky Ev16 100
RealDrums in Song: BluesBBEven8^07-Cycling
RealDrums in Song: FunkSync16thsPerc^5-Snare,Ride
RealDrums in Song: FunkSync16thsPerc^ 12 Stems!!!!!!!!!!!!
RealDrums in style:FunkSanFran: a: Snare, Kick b: Snare, Open Hihat
As you can see, I added 3 other drum kits to this one, yet still managed to use the one that came with the Style. Dave Bell played guitar, and I played bass and sang.

Somewhere In The World

When you stand in line to pay for your gas
do you ever think the world should be free?
Maybe there's a soul somewhere in the world
who thinks a lot like you and me.
So maybe there's a sky where the air is still clean.
Maybe starched flags will unfurl.
Maybe o'er the fence the grass is still green somewhere in the world.

If there's ever going to be safe place
to let your children grow up knowing peace,
feelings have to change from careless to care,
and selfish ways have got to cease.
So maybe there's a land where we all live as one.
Maybe king's queens won't be pearled.
Maybe we'll all see that we all must belong somewhere in the world.

Change will come if we want it or not so it's better if we help it our way.
Time has come to improve or just rot. Go now. Or could we stay?

So maybe if we grow, we can live as we choose.
wanting nothing more that the merl.
Birds up in the air will give us our cues somewhere in the world.

Marty,

Great song and great vocal. Love the song and message. Some awesome production here as well. Also, Dave's guitar and solo perfectly support the song and mood.

Excellent!

David is right saying 60's and there's nothing wrong with that!
I immediately recognized Daves tone when this started! Both of you gentlemen are excellent musicians/writers/producers!
Great song and performance...man this forum is blessed to have you guys involved in it!
Love the ending!

Good vocals, great guitars (both the real one and the smaller one with the 6 strings) and a really good production.
The icing on the cake is the "Somewhere in the world" outro, which I would actually have put already as a chorus between the verses because it's so catchy.

Marty, you and Dave really crushed this one! Punchy write, energetically performed, expertly mixed. That outro is super cool for sure. Just a lot of fun, like all your stuff.

Marty & Dave ...

You two gentlemen keep pouring great music all over us - no complaints! Great song and message - couldn't agree more with the message. Great lyric, vocal, and playing. Dave wails while Marty messages.

Congrats on another gem!!!

Take care,

Alan

Yet another great song lyrically and musically and with great DB lead guitar. Heck, don't you guys ever get tired of not disappointing! … Rhetorical. … laugh

Thanks, Bob. Spent a week with Chuck Rainey once and that's who Dave reminds me of. In the studio they can both play any song and make it sound Goldilocks perfect.

Thanks, Dan. I understand that the song is more of a Utopian Fantasy, but there's still hope that the grass is somewhere greener.

Thanks, Brain. Good idea, but I wanted it just to repeat to a fade, although I ended up liking the last-chord harmony.

Marty, good message write. Expert bass playing and Dave’s guitar sounds great and is complimentary to the song. The outro with the bgv’s was inspired. Well done, Tom

Thanks, Chay. Rhetorical questions are easier cuz they don't expect and answer, but I got one. Nope. (on the other hand, I do have a few clunkers that won't show their faces here)

Yeah, maybe there's somewhere, but there's no sense looking for it. If I took over the grass that was greener on the other side of the femce, I'd have to maintain it. Hey, I'd like to see that dancin in the chair thing, floyd. Glad it got ya boppin'.

Thanks much, Tom. If I remember, the song was kinda written around the ending. You know, all I had was an ending (the desert), so I had to come up with the rest (the main course) to sort of fit.
