Hi Greg,
I've always enjoyed the byrds. Your guitar playing is very nice. All of your composition is well done. I appreciated.

Greg,
A very nice pop folk rock song! It really captures the atmosphere of CSN and the Byrds. I like your jazz vocals very much, but this kind of song is also very good. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Greg,
So good to hear a new one from you . . . welcome back to the Forum. Terrific tune delivered by another excellent vocal. Production is stellar. Yeah, very reminiscent of the Byrds and 60's feel . . . excellent harmonies. Good stuff!
All my best to you,
Deej

Love that jingle jangle sound. You hit that Echo Canyon feel right on the nail---This could be part of the Byrds repertoire. I enjoyed this much!

Before You Go
Who knows what we’re doing here? The path we’re walking ain’t so clear Spinning on this magic green ball Powered by a star
Filling highways with commuters Communicating on computers Filling heads with fantasies Of colonizing Mars
Dreaming of the perfect world Peace and harmony In between our favorite Netflix shows Some believe we’re coming back But no on really knows Be sure to smell the roses ‘fore you go
Eons now of evolution Peasants, kings, and revolutions The poets and the politicians With the perfect plans
Maybe some things can’t be altered We’ve risen up and then we’ve faltered Could be a fundamental flaw In the DNA of man
Is intelligence a blessing or a curse in our design? Have we figured out more than we’re meant to know? But, regardless of the ending We can still enjoy the show Be sure to smell the roses ‘fore you go
I hope that things won’t always be As hopeless as they seem How brutal is awakening For those who dare to dream If all the voices in the world could finally agree Oh, what an existence this would be
Now the light of truth is growing dark The world’s controlled by oligarchs A few will pull the lever And the rest will ride along
The central ministry of truth Indoctrinate our fragile youth And they won’t stop ’til everybody’s Singing the same song
So check your conscience at the door It’ll just get in the way No need for the baggage anymore I used to believe in something bigger Now I just don’t know But I’m gonna smell the roses ‘fore I go

You locked right in to the Byrds sound on this one. Great message great vocal delivery. Enjoyed much.
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2024 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Hi Greg, thank you for sharing this. As someone else has mentioned, in addition to the Byrds influence I can definitely hear a Jackson Browne and Warren Zevon influence there - certainly in the chorus/tag line (from 1' 57" on)

Greg, great song! The writing was great throughout, but man, I sure like "I hope that things won’t always be as hopeless as they seem, How brutal is awakening for those who dare to dream. If all the voices in the world could finally agree oh, what an existence this would be" Great stuff. You always provide great vocals, and this is yet another example. Great production. Liked the guitars and loved the intro. I never really listened to the Byrds, they were slightly before my time. I did come across Chris Hillman when he was playing with the Desert Rose Band, and later found out that as a kid, I was living about 15 minutes away from where Graham Parsons and Emylou Harris were living together, but never knew it! ... That's the story of my life, a day late and a lot of dollars short.
Brad

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
