Registered: 08/21/18 Posts: 1288 Tangmo Expert Registered: 08/21/18 Posts: 1288	"we can rise above it all". Oh yeah. That's the line on which turns this hopeful song. When the world seems bent on forcing us to choose sides, we can rise above it all. A great message, riding a simple and effective melody, carried by natural voices and supported by a strong progression and tasteful band. And it sounds good in my 'phones to boot. _________________________ BIAB 2021 Audiophile. Windows 10 64bit. Songwriter, lyricist, composer(?) loving all styles.

Yep, we love the sentiment. When you invited Janice in and we read that it was a floyd/Greg collab we knew it was gonna be strong. It's a floyd production and vocal...what is left to say about that combo. At the risk of being trite...that combo simply delivers EVERY time. We would also like to mention that the sheer sincerity of this production is apparent all through -- lyrically, vocally and arrangement wise. Sincere and hopeful, i.e., not angst ridden. Superb!!!

You've got a super song there and a much-needed sentiment. I caught my breath when the first note of the bridge started, wow Floyd. A great job all round.
