I started working on this song back in February, finally managed to get it finished! The video was made using images generated via Co-pilot AI and royalty free video clips from pixabay.com. Turned out pretty good I think, but I also added an audio only link at the end for those that don't like videos.


The Band:

893:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment PopLiverpool Ev 065 (B-energetic)

Marty Straub (BabuMusic) is on bass guitar. Check how he changes his part based on the song dynamic, and especially what he did during the last verse right after the guitar solo. Awesome!

Chris Spruit is on vocals (six tracks!), and she also did the vocal arrangement.

I play the lead guitar part, added a BGV, and built the drums and tambourine tracks using EZDrummer3.

Mixed in Reaper using plugins from Waves and iZotope, mastered with Ozone 11.

In the Beginning (2024, Dave Bell)

Verse 1:
In the beginning, the world was a canvas to create,
Just like brushes, rivers paint the land, fabricate.
Life danced in oceans, in the skies took to wing,
In peace and harmony, the creatures of Earth would sing.

Verse 2:
Trees grew tall and proud, reaching for the sky,
Animals roamed the land, and flowers beautify.
Balance was rhythm, in nature's subtle dance
Every creature, great and small, had an equal chance.

Verse 3:
Then came man, with a mind to invent,
Changing gods plan, with every good intent.
The harmony wavered, the canvas it was torn,
Man's reshaped the world, since the day he was born.

Verse 4:
In the beginning, life's symphony was pure,
A melody of nature, so innocent and sure.
But with every step man took upon the land,
The song grew fainter, slipping away like sand.

The song is also available on ReverbNation, here: In the Beginning
