Here is my latest song: It may be a little too optimistic for these trouble times but hopefully everything will be ok. I had trouble getting the volume up enough so I hope my efforts worked. OK I used: Dire_SL Even Rock Ballad (85 RT) 95 BPM Key: C (or G would work too) 34 Finger electric bass 27 Jazz electric guitar 1 Standard drum kit 508 Guitar, electric, rhythm dize Ev 085 50 Slow strings I played my Big Baby Taylor acoustic guitar through SP1 mic, through Cl1, into Mixcraft 5. I played keys on my PSRE403, which was routed through the Cl1 interface into Mixcraft 5. I sang vocal through a SP1 mic, through Cl1, into Mixcraft 5. Everything mixed in Mixcraft 5. Thanks for any listens and comments. OK
In the light of morning
The dark night's not so bad
Why don't we count our blessings
Forget what made us mad
I'd say everything's ok
I'd say I'm liking life this way
I'd say you brighten up my day
I'd say everything's ok
Yes, we have opinions
Different points of view
But in the end we both agree
There's love between us two
(Chorus)
No use in fighting
What's it good for?
Love is the answer
We know that for sure
Yes, we both want riches
And never have a fear
But when we look around us
We've everything right here
(Chorus)

jpt3, Your music always seems to take me back to "growing up listening to 60's AM radio". This has that same kind of feel... Everything's ok.  fj

We enjoyed this - particularly the nice
positive message in the lyrics.
It's a good tune for the times and could be
applied to many life experiences.
Well done!

Dear Sean ... Glad to see you going 'solo' on the User's Forum after our collaboration on That's How Much I Love You !!! I've already expressed to you elsewhere how effortlessly you seem to write lyrics, so I'll just include O.K. in that assessment, too. I believe there could never be too much optimism, because it seems there's always too much cynicism that needs to checked by a determined effort to maintain a hopeful, forward-looking state-of-mind, which is what your lyrics for O.K offer to a listener. Through them one could easily imagine a 'peaceable kingdom' here on Earth where people in their relationships come into the realization that... "Yes, we have opinions
Different points of view
But in the end we both agree
There's love between us two"You make it sound so-o-o simple -- and it probably is . 'Thumbs up' on your gentle melody and your musicianship as a multi-instrumentalist who also sings with a degree of sensitivity that persuades me you truly believe in what you write. LOREN

I enjoyed this. Really nice vocal, really liked the effect that I could hear during the chorus. And optimism is always a good thing, it's needed in these times. Both with how divided everyone has been recently and especially with the whole coronavirus situation.

Nice song - at some points, in headphones, it seems like you're singing from above centre!
I think the bvox on the L are a little loud in the quiet passage - personal preference thing I know.
Cheers

I think the volume is good, so that worked whatever you did. A nice bringing everyone together song. Can't have too many of those. I can hear everyone singing on this one. Good write. Can never be too optimistic!!

Ok, this makes my day. Reminds me of something John Lennon would be proud to have penned. This really DOES brighten up the day. It's much more than OK, ok?

jpt3—
Very soft, very sweet—nice vocals. Definitely a 60’s type vibe to this, but fresh and soothing. Nicely done!
Kind regards,
Deej

Good singing and playing, the song kind of plodded along for me, needed some energy or crackle. I could be wrong, I often am.
