One more (perhaps last! hopefully, haha ...), this weekend. Hope you enjoy :-) Thanks for taking the time to listen and for any feedback!!! https://soundcloud.com/jamesdelsono/truth-love-peaceTRUTH, LOVE, PEACE When I was young, My Mama said to me "My dearest child, you won't go wrong If this advice you'll heed ... Make Truth, Love, Peace, Your Holy Trinity; And ever happy you'll be! So come and sing with me: Truth, Love, Peace.
Is it too much to ask?
Truth, Love, Peace ...
I'll sing from dawn to dusk.
Truth, Love, Peace ...
Is it too much to wish for?
Truth, Love, Peace, please ...-
And let our spirits soar."*** My Mama's older now And long since I've not seen Her wrinkled face; her gentle words Are with me, inside, still ... "Please, child, trust me; You never will go wrong If Truth, Love, Peace Is your life's powerful song!" Truth, Love, Peace.
Is it too much to ask?
Truth, Love, Peace ...
I'll sing from dawn to dusk.
Truth, Love, Peace ...
Is it too much to wish for?
Truth, Love, Peace, please ...-
And let our spirits soar.*** My Mama's waiting for me now, To visit her again; In these tough times, she's wondering How, lately, I have been. I miss her so, just one more hug I want to her to give; And let her know I've always tried To practice what we've preached: Truth, Love, Peace.
Is it too much to ask?
Truth, Love, Peace ...
I'll sing from dawn to dusk.
Truth, Love, Peace ...
Is it too much to wish for?
Truth, Love, Peace, please ...-

James,
I liked this—a nice marriage of sentiment with a bouncy and fun sound and melody. Like the choice of sax solo, though I might think about dropping the sax after the solo in that last verse—it diverts a little bit from the lead vocal and melody. But definitely pick it back up after that last verse as you do. I also might up the drums a little bit maybe, but let’s see what others think; in particular, if you could really accentuate the snare or kick on those stops, that might lend some defined emphasis in those spots.
Good one! Stay well and safe,
Deej

Uh-oh, Deej ... you've hit on my weak spot here, haha ... mixing. BUT: I will indeed have a look at this again - after I take a small break, I've worked for hours on this song and if I hear that chorus again in the next couple of hours or so, I will throw the computer out of the window (figuratively speaking, of course - if nothing else, it's too heavy to carry to said window). But, to be serious, yes - I see your point ... I was agonising on that sax solo, too ... to see if I'd let it continue or not. In the end, I did and just amplified the vocals a tad more than usual where it runs - but I agree, it can definitely do with one more look at it. The drums, those should be easy to up a bit, especially on the stops, right?
It's time for a quick afternoon nap here, but - after that - I will go back to the mental as well as physical "lab", so to speak, and see what I can concoct, haha. THANK YOU for such a clear, detailed comment - stay well!!!

James,
Nice to hear an upbeat song from you. It moves nicely.
Deej's comment about the sax is a worth pursuing.
If you could roll a little bass off the vocal it would match the backing better.
Catchy. Keep that up...

Thanks fj - I did think that an upbeat song was long overdue, haha ...
Yes, I'll deal with the rogue sax solo soon after I nap ... you know how it is straight after writing a song, right? Or maybe that's just me, haha ... ;-)
Never thought of reducing the bass a little in the vocal, but that's one of the reasons I post stuff on here ... it's great to have other wonderful pairs of ears listening, they thankfully pick up on things one doesn't always hear, oneself.
THANKS for taking the time to listen and help out!!! :-)

Very cool song. Loved the backtrack. Has a cool rhythm to it. Vocal and lyric work well with it

This sound pretty good James. I agree about the sax and EQing your vocal some. I did like the groove and I thought your vocal fit it perfectly.
When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"

"Truth, Love, Peace.
Is it too much to ask?
Truth, Love, Peace ...
I'll sing from dawn to dusk.'
No it's not too much to ask for at all.
But I wish asking was all it took instead of the
needed mammoth changes in behavior and thought around the world.
Thought provoking and nicely done!

Janice and Bud ... when I was younger, there seemed to be a lot more Truth, Love and Peace around. Maybe my memory is seen through the prism of wishful thinking, who knows ... but my point is this: if it got bad this quickly, it can become good again just as quickly. Here's hoping, anyhow! :-)
THANK YOU for listening and for such nice words!
