Marty...I read the other comments and I just have to say I totally agree with the insights and compliments given before me...I especially like Izzy's thoughts and would echo them..."There's So Much More" is more than just a song; it's a philosophical spa treatment for the soul. You've managed to capture that universal ache of unfulfilled potential, the feeling we're all just toddlers staring at a planet-sized ball pit and only playing with a single plastic ring. The imagery of the frozen birds and the armored knight is pure genius, painting a picture of lives lived in stasis or chasing outdated glories."...you and Dave have the magic...so distinctive and so well done on every occasion...but it's your vocals that sell what you're pitching...you did a great job...I'm a fan...you know that!

Overall, great production and performances and perfect use of BIAB components. Thanks for taking up some of my valuable time--now got to get back to the "so much more"..!
HAHA. Thanks, Tom. Yeah, that NO just had to be said. Slackers get no sympathy. smile Time is on our side when used wisely I guess.

I have run out of adjectives on how good your songs are so I will just say
I loved it.
And you know we always love your comments, Mario. Thanks for listening.

Well sung.
Good BAND.
Dave is his usual Solid.
Good mix.

You are a music Machine!!!

The Universe In Four Verses, another cool title. Thanks for all your kind words, Floyd.

You sing this with great conviction and the lyric is such a relatable one.
We often tell our nieces and nephews to make the most of each day and think of it as a special occasion.

Man, what a production. Ya’ll laid down some excellent guitar and bass tracks.

Add the comtemplative write, complementary vid, and excellent mix to that and you have a fine production indeed.

Enjoyed it!

Thanks, Janice & Bud. I liked that line too when it came out. Not necessarily relatable to the young, but I get it.

The song is excellent, the vocal is fab and the bass makes the groove.
Ab Fab.
Thanks, Ray. I love how Dave can always come up with the perfect riffs, and what a terrific solo, too.

It's hard to top Dave's guitar, but the vocals are what sold the song for me. smile
Thanks, David. My favorite part is the guitar.

THanks, Dan. Yeah, I really like reading Izzy's comments everywhere. Thanks for favoring the vocals sales pitch, and thanks for being an easy sell.
