NUDGE might be more appropriate Beth -
your words nudge listeners towards more
awareness!
Hope that by 'keeping it simple’ you won’t feel
such a need to take a break from songs
and recording?

Sounds like a 70's soul classic, enjoyed the funky edge, the bass is a perfect fit and the rest of the band support also very well your solid vision. Pleasant lyrics, catchy melody and the chord progression is really enjoyable.

Excellent vocals, I really like how those harmonies add to the mood, great work to get them work so sweetly. A song I would gladly have on my jogging play list smile

Apologies for bouncing this ... but we missed it and wanted to comment.

We like it ... the funk vibe works well with the nice arrangement, vocals and write.
And it's all wrapped in a mix that sets up a good soundstage on our monitors.

Well done!

Beth, this is definitely not corny. In f act it is an excellent piece of music.
Super vocal and harmonies.
I loved that funk groove!
Great backing band and mix.
IMHO this is one of your best.

PS - my muse thinks I'm amusing cool
I hope yours comes back quickly.

There's a really nice flow to this song, Beth, plus I think if it was professionally produced it could be epic. I also like how it ends. With you all the way on the lyrics, though that's no surprise!

#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

What a great voice you have, and the vehicle of such a good song! This sounds like it could've been a hit by Melanie back in the seventies. Great job!

Enjoyed the listen. The vocals, while not funk, work very well with the funk backing tracks.

Hi, Beth.

It like it! I think the song works with the backing, and it doesn't come across as pushy or corny.

Nice job. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hey, I really like this. Kind of reminds me of Natalie Merchant and 10,000 maniacs a little bit.

A beautiful composition and vocal performance.

Beth, I liked your choice of funk BIAB style for this song, and enjoyed your vocals, and harmonies on the chorus.

It has a nice upbeat, uplifting feel, thanks for sharing!

Good song, I like the arrangement, and really like your vocal, nice tone and phrasing.

If I was producing this I would have the main vocal a little more upfront, but I read some of the other comments and no one else mentioned that, so what do I know? eek

Enjoyed this, well done.
