A song of hope and direction.
The pause after the solo was well placed.
We need people like you to write & present songs of this caliber and persuasion...carry on the excellence in your good works.
Cheers

“Small wonders all around take our breath away.
The little things that make us pause can brighten everyday.”
OH YES!!
This is great, Marty, and we are reminded every morning by this quote pasted on the frig door:
“Always be on the lookout for the presence of wonder.”
It’s a very joyful band to accompany the delightful lyrics and your vocal is soothing. A
lso, the pipa is very cool.
We enjoyed the appearance of your smiling face in the video too.
Nice open mix. Cool soundstage on the monitors.
Enjoyed it!

Marty,
Early April is cherry blossom season in Japan.
There are rows of cherry trees in almost every town, and we enjoy this season every year.
Watching your video, although it's different from cherry blossom viewing, I felt a deep connection to the same spirit.
The country-style music fit the video perfectly, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to it.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Cherry blosoms are out here too. Always a beautiful time of year. Thanks so much, Shigeki. Enjoy! Hi Marty,
I remember you playing the song for me a while ago, as a concept. After that, I thought you had never finished it.
A beautiful song, which actually just meanders a bit, with that tabla and pipa (and of course the other instruments).
I had already made a comment about it a few months ago, but you enjoy it every time.
So I think it's great that you used those exotic instruments in it. That is the beautiful accent that makes it a sweet, sparkling song.
Hans Thanks, Hans. BiaB has so many instruments from around the world. They add the right ingredients to the song idea. First Noel's A World Of Wonder and now Marty's Small Wonders, all excellent feel good, upbeat folky music. The message hits straight to my heart, "the magic of this place" & "Small wonders bring big thrills and paint the day with awe.", we NEED this positive attitude and spiritual connection to the things that really matters, small but the most fundamental wonders  The band is really lovely, magical atmosphere, I'm really glad to hear Pipa, it really highlights how the wonders are worldwide. The vocals are full of warmth and positive confidence. And I absolutely LOVE your video, the fairy-tale mood, happiness and beautiful nature with flowers, and of course all those birds It should have millions of views if there was any justice in the world. This is your most important song to me, it fully shows your dazzling songwriting talent and your kindness as a person. Janne Janne, an extrordinary comment, and i appreciate it emensely. I can't tell you how much you were in my thoughts while making this one, knowing how much you also apprecate rocks and trees. Cool song
Strong vocals
Nice use of BIAB. Very Cool Band. Great sound
Much enjoyed
.fj Thanks, Floyd. BiaB really comes through with so many various instruments, perfect for when the song is about the beauty of our planet. “Small wonders all around take our breath away.
The little things that make us pause can brighten everyday.”

J&B Thanks, Janice & Bud. Yeah, this song is more about you than for you. I like that frig quote.
