Sailing Through The Breeze on Soundcloud
Sailing Through The Breeze on YouTube


A song about embracing nature to overcome some of the ill effects of culture.
When posting i add the Style as well as the RTs in that style with their numbers. Any other RTs used that are not in that style are listed as "in song." It's helpful if someone hears some RT that they want to use it. I had that experience listening to DC Ron's song once. For this song i lost the 3 RT soloists that would have been listed below as "in song."

Style is _ROYALST.STY (Royal St New Orleans Piano Funk)

RealTracks in style: 3782:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm NewOrleansFunky Ev16 095
RealTracks in style: 2618:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Funk16thsMutedWahWah Ev16 100
RealTracks in style: 2619:Organ, Rhythm Funk Ev 100
RealDrums in style:FunkHalfNotePulse: a: Snare, Kick b: Busy Kick, Snare was used in the redesign in EZDDrummer.
I sang and played bass.


Sailing Through The Breeze

All the problems of life can upset your sure-foot stride.
There's a method you could use to get through.
Whenever you're tripped up and you feel you've had enough,
trim your sails to the wind and renew.

Then it's alright sailing through the breeze.
Through the calm night, we'll be doing what we please.
With the sunrise warmer winds will blow.
If the sea swells, sailing skills will show.

Everything you know you'll set free by letting go.
When you listen to the wind it lifts your soul.
So then everything you see will be clear as clear can be,
and the truth of wind is what you'll know.

Don't be afraid of crashing waves. They wash away all the strife.
And when you feel the world is drowning you,
the breeze will save your life.

Enjoy whatever happens!

Marty, I don't know how you do it but you come up with one great song after another. Plus they all sound like they came from a professional studio, thus they are all radio ready and should be on the radio today. I am so jealous! Your vocal is very strong, the lyrics very good, and the mix is perfect.
Loved it

Hi Marty,

I have heard this song a few times now and I still think it is amazing! Your harmonies are very beautiful. A few miracles happen in the video, but that is exactly what makes the atmosphere so wonderful. I just wondered why that man with the oar kept rowing while the wind was filling the sails. But there probably wasn't a place for him to sit. That boat was so full...

But, as I said, a lovely song. It quickly makes you want to go sailing again yourself. But right now, the weather here isn't cooperating.
Sail ahead, Marty!

Marty,

That's an amazing piece of music!

That guitar and your vocal are complete standouts. This mix is stellar - agree with Mario - it sounds like a studio cut.

Loved everything about this one!

Ha! Nice one, Marty! Certainly a better solution than doom scrolling, which seems to be quite the thing these days.

Great vocals and harmonies. The scatting is fab, as is that wild finish. Couldn't quit focusing on the bass--that's some hypnotic stuff you've got going on. Liked the (uncredited?) solo, it fit right in. Super mix, too.

VERY COOL!

Hi Marty!
I love the variety of BVs you have in this song - even some scatting in the outro!
