A Life To LiveA simple song telling that it's better to grab the hand of life here today and not to keep waiting for your retirement or some divine sign. Vocals by me and Miira. All comments welcome RealDrums: FunkSyncSnare RealTracks: Electric bass #1398 Acoustic guitar #2677 Electric guitar rhythm #2756, #2904, #2158 Electric guitar solo #2829 Acoustic piano #1405 Organ #686 Vocals: Janne & Miira Mixed in Sonar Platinum Lyrics: I'm sitting by the stream of life skipping stones without a plan there's only one sure thing I'll meet Charon the ferryman "you still have a life to live".
I'm sitting at the stop of life asking God to give a sign if I wait 'til the pearly gates he'll tell he sent a daily line "you still have a life to live".
I see the light I hear your call today I take the first boat and I float away no more fear that I would go astray I find the words been scared to say: I have a life to live.
I'm sitting by the tide of life waiting for my pension age if I now fast forward I'll reach my terminal stage "you still have a life to live".
I see the light...
The lighthouse of reason is my guide through the fog of uncertainty surfed on the waves of consciousness the caring hearts supporting me.
No more wasting time on the dock of the bay I hold your hand and we seize the day we canoe the bridge of the dawning ray we find the easy words to say: I have a life to live.
"The stream has no end no beginning time is a journey to its being leave some ripples when you row give your share for its flow."----- Janne

Hi Janne and Miira.
Very much like your lyrics and the sentiments expressed in the song. Like both voices the laid back presentation. Nice and unpretentious. Good one.
Cheers.

Wow, this song is really outstanding. Your arrangement sounds very professional!
This is my favourite part:
"I'm sitting by the stream of life skipping stones without a plan. There's only one sure thing, I'll meet Charon the ferryman. 'You still have a life to live!'"
Really great job.
Cheers, Ember

Wow - within the first couple measures I knew I'd enjoy this one I love the soulful grooves on this one. It had my toe tapping the whole way through. The vocal performance from both of you is excellent, and the harmonies for the chorus work perfectly. Really well done, thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Deryk

Janne & MIra
Great quality throughout. Musically the production is outstanding.
You've delivered innovation throughout, with the combination of complimentary voices in the lyrics.
Excellent, really excellent.

Janne,
A nice funky way to package an uplifting message. I think this is the first Janne/Mira duet I`ve heard - you sound good together! Good production (as your always are).
