LIVING IN THE MOMENT

This song is a co-write with my daughter. The title came to me first a few days ago and I asked her if she had any lyric suggestions and things came together fairly quickly. The band is carrying much of the load here and it's such a great thing to have BIAB waiting there to help get the job done! It's a rocker and it's loud! I'm getting older but I'm not dead yet LOL! Hope someone enjoys it. I'm probably going to work on background vocals and my guitar parts some more...I put them down pretty quickly! Thanks for having a listen! Torrey

The past is done I know that I can't change it
But you'll never let it knock me down
The future's waiting for me I can't shake it
Still you'll be here when it comes around

Oh I'm living in the moment with You

You told me that I must believe in something
You'll never let my heart come all unwound
Without you I know that I'm left with nothing
What you've given me is so profound

Oh I'm living in the moment with You
Oh it's all I really ever want to do
Oh I'm living in the moment with You
Oh You're the One who's shown me the truth

You told me
Close that door behind you
Let tomorrow worry for itself

Once upon a time no one could change me
I tried to fight these giants all alone
Your love's the only thing that truly saved me
And gave me hope that I could overcome

Oh I'm living in the moment with You
Oh it's all I really ever want to do
Oh You're the One who's shown me the truth
Oh living in the moment with You

Wow! This really well-crafted Torrey. Reminds me of Tom Petty.
I really feel this could be a hit. On the intro the harmonies
could be a little more forward, but thats really nothing.
Magnifecent write, love it. Rob 4580

Torrey,
that solo - full of character and TONE!
that voice - full of character and TONE!
Top shelf...the lyric works on multiple levels.
The whole package is ACE.
Very well done Ms. Williams.

Great guitar playing and singing, everything you do is of such a high level. Listened to this several times, really enjoyed it!

Hi Bliss team,

There comes a time your daughter assists you on every musical front, Torrey.
Her lyrical skills are already impressing! The other skills soon follow...

You made a very good song in a nice tempo and strong melody.
I can only agree with TuneMonger, Ray and Rob on this.
But on the other hand, all your songs have that strong vibe and groove. That's your style.
Enjoyed it a lot!

Hans

Torrey,

The intro is AWESOME as is the entire song. This song showcases everything that is great about your music.

The production is off the charts - I would not touch a thing. I love the urgency that this song has.

Your are bringing your very best... Simply outstanding.

Bob

Torrey.
whoa ...POWERFULL START/SONG !!. WOWSER !
powerfull rocking song. NICE LEAD BREAK !
your lead vocs remind me of a well known uk rock singer,,, but cant put my finger on who.
SUPERB VOCS.

you know why i know this is a very good song ?
cos i keep on wanting to play it.
well well done torrey.

only thing i might suggest is chick back up singers singing harmony in the "oooh" choruses.

some people might disagree with me but i feel the abrupt ending works cos it makes people want to play song again.
one word EXCELLENT !
best
om

Lyrics live up to the title, clear simple message that works in many phases of life.
Very interesting intro leads once again to the great pop-rock sound
effects are used very well to add dimension
good vocals and guaranteed arrangement
What a talented family

Hi Torrey wow great work vocal lyrics guitar work all excellent so creative I agree with rob this could be a hit love the guitar work I hear the heart felt playing in this well done!!!! Eric

Love the energy on this one Torrey! Great job!

Torrey & Courtney,

Killer!

Awesome opening - cool guitar and outstanding drums! Those drums sound great throughout - did you process those??

Exceptional use of BIAB - a dazzling Pop-Rock (emphasis on the Rock) sound!! Refreshing. It's a great thing seeing what BIAB can do in the hands of a talented musician with an imagination!!! You've got it in spades. (Nice guitar work, too)

On my 4th listen.

KILLER.

As has been said excellent song , mix and performance Killer lyrics.

Great to hear an artist such as your self, going for the ...Quality not Quantity counts.. approach as I think that obviously shows here !.

Thanks

Torrey & Courtney

Absolutely great in all respects. Mega drive! Very well thought out and complex composition, but at the same time listens very well. Fun guitar playing too. I feel I am not the guy to critique your tunes, but I think that guitar solo could be a little louder.
Congrats to both of you and thank you for sharing!

Misha.

Hi Torrey Bliss and your daughter,

Superb composition. Everything is perfect. It's very catchy. I really enjoyed it. Well done. Excellent.

Thanks Rob for having a listen and commenting! T

Torrey

You've simply excelled this time. Superb work on a great song and I loved the guitar playing.

Really well done!

Peter

Commercial potential for sure, Torrey (if there were any justice). Wow, that solo is just so right for the song. So well conceived. Great vocal as always. Congrats to you and your daughter.
Regards,
Leon

Thanks Ray, I appreciate that! I also showed your comments to my daughter who is also very appreciative! T

Hi Torrey,

Amazing track! The transition just before the guitar solo is so well made... and the guitar solo in itself is also next level...

Get signed man! You can fill a stadium in Denmark if you get your music out to the broader public.

Will

Thanks TuneMonger for taking time to listen and comment! I appreciate it! T

Excellent family write!

Everything good about classic rock is captured here.

"You told me
Close that door behind you
Let tomorrow worry for itself"

Yep. Too much yesterday and tomorrow and spoil today indeed.

Fine vocal and instrumental performances, band, and mix.
Nice package through and through as it stands.

Enjoyed it!

J&B

So cool, Torrey!

And you wrote it with your daughter. Excellent! You're living right, my friend and it shows!



So glad to see you around more writing great tunes.

Tell your daughter great job as well!

Torrey & Courtney, killer song! Loved everything about this one. Great vocals and an infectious groove! Loved the guitars and drums.

I hope you two keep writing songs like this!

An outstanding song.

Thanks Hans! That means a lot to me! T

Thanks Bob! I appreciate all those kind words! T

Great song!! Your voice reminds me of Tom Petty, great solo, and arrangement.

Thanks justanoldmuso for the positive and encouraging words! I appreciate it! T

Thanks Janne for the nice comments! T

Thanks Eric for taking time to listen and comment! T

Sounds terrific, Torrey and Courtney.
"You told me
Close that door behind you
Let tomorrow worry for itself" --sage advice.
I like the guitar intro a lot. The progression and melody are crafted very well, the production and mix make for an enjoyable listen, and your vocals are perfect. I like how you kept the harmony ooze in the solo --which soars nicely. Great song idea and excellent lyrics.

Thanks for taking time to listen and comment! T

Nice work both of you. Good lyrics. Good production. The band was hot too.

Thanks for all that Floyd! The only processing on the drums came from the plug-ins used on the stereo master track like compression, eq etc. T

Thanks beatmaster for having a listen! I appreciate it! T

Thanks Misha! At the time used listened I was still working with mixing on this. I have raised that solo a bit now along with some other tweaks. T

Hey Pops,

You keep cranking quality creations.

Love the guitar work.

Amazing production all around--mix,instrumentation, composition, and singing.

Hi Torrey,

You and your daughter have created an exceptional work. It's excellent listening.

Like always, your production is stellar.

Terrific musical entertainment.

All the best to you both,
Noel

Thanks Derochette for taking a moment to listen and comment! I truly appreciate it! T

Thanks Peter! Your comments mean a lot to me! T

Thanks Leon! I have made an attempt with this one to get it out there for more people to hear! T

It's good to be back. When I step away from the forum, I miss gems like this.

I remember Torrey being good. This one did not disappoint.

Thanks Will for all those kind words! I appreciate it! T

Thanks J&B for your time to listen and comment! I always appreciate it! T

Thanks David! It was a nice change of pace to let her help with some of the lyrics!

Thanks Mario for the kind words! T

Thanks Skoon66 for having a listen and commenting! T

Thanks Marty for your positive input! I appreciate it! T

Thanks jptjptjpt for your comments! I appreciate it! T

Thanks Scott! I always appreciate your comments! T

Thanks Noel! Your comments mean a lot to me! T

Thanks Phil! It's good to see you back around these parts again! T

You are never too old to rock in my opinion, Torrey!

This is great, you had me hooked right from the intro and it got better from there.

Nice write with your daughter, Great hook! Smokin' guitar solo!

One of your best, very much enjoyed!
