Hi BD! Great heavy metal song about a topic that is getting everyone irate - it seems to be affecting the world over. I chuckled when I read that the drum RD is PraisWorshipUptempo. Uptempo indeed! The mix sounds really top class and a good choice of vocal. Regarding the lyrics - there are plenty of rhymes in there!  I only watched the video once because I encountered Australia's new age-verification laws (unless it's YouTube responding to an 'adults only' setting?: I had to do a face verification online through a 3rd party private verification app after scanning the QR code that popped up - to prove my age. I wasn't sure, but I thought I saw a message pop up afterwards categorising me as 'weathered raisin'.  Don't get me wrong - I fully support this type of tech to ensure that young people don't see what they should be too young to view. Just wanted you to know that I jumped through hoops to have a pleasurable viewing and listening experience! Andrew PS Is that a pic of you in your profile thumbnail? I apologize for creating a 18+ video, YouTube notified me via email, so I didn't notice it at first. Here in Europeland, nobody would even care about that. But that's just the way it is. I really, REALLY appreciate what you went through just to listen to my song, Andrew ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) The number of rhymes is indeed a bit unusual compared to my usual songs, but when I wrote the lyrics, I had a Rap song in mind. Only to find out the hard way that I'm not Eminem and never will be... Again, thanks a LOT! BTW, I just read some help pages: If you have a YouTube account, it seems you only have to verify your age once, and then you’re done with it for the rest of your life.

good song, GREAT message, the lip-sync was amazing! Funny, I thought we were supposed to have a revolution in 1970 and deal with all this *****. But it never happened. Very professional presentation, I wish somehow I could watch how you work and improve my own songs. That'll never happen either, of course. Thank you, Rob, for your kind words and your thoughts on what should have happened long ago but hasn't. As far as mixing and production go, that would only make sense if you had the same DAW as me, because 95% of the plugins I use are standard Cubase plugins. However, if you need help with a specific song or audio track, feel free to send me a private message - I might be able to help you out in some cases. Principles apply regardless of the DAW.

If you're logged-in to YT the age thing is constant, but I saw your post via this forum and I had to faff with confirming I wasn't a tiny squidgeling!

Great song! Excellent choice of words!
(We Europeans live lightheartedly with swear words; the French language is full of them, for example, not to mention some German dialects.)
Essential: Band-in-a-Box. DAW: Reason (formerly GarageBand). Interface: Focusrite.
I only wish I had had all this stuff available when I was young …
