wow, great voc performance and mix of instruments

Original vibe, and a captivating performance, and instrumentation. Captures that emotional uplift, and conveys it.

Thanks Suzanne, it’s getting harder to reach those notes these days!

im jealous of your beautiful upper registr

Nice speaker separation in the mix.  I like the flow of the song. Very uplifting and pleasant.

What a bright uplifting song, Chris! Great vouce too...

How can one person make you feel like this?!  Written in 1992 when my voice was younger and could hit those high notes.  At the time I was in a band and we played this as a rock track which I rather liked but this demo is closer to what I originally had in mind I think.


This Is All


This is all
This is all it’s meant to be,
All my life I’ve been waiting it seems.
When before
Was a haze of clouded dreams,
Now is clear as day to me.

I know better now,
Better not to waste away,
Better not to live life at a crawl,
And it’s for you,
You and only you,
That I’m made to move at all.

Once was a small boy
Who hid behind his hands,
Afraid to catch a glimpse
Of what he might not understand,
But now,
Now I know what’s to be done,
You’ve given me the confidence
To laugh aloud and run

Down the road,
Watch me go, oh see me run,
What on Earth has come over me?
This is you,
Can’t you see what you have done?
This is all it’s meant to be.

Once was a small boy
Who hid behind his hands,
Afraid to catch a glimpse
Of what he might not understand,
But now,
Now I know what’s to be done,
There’s a whole life there in front of me,
I can catch it if I run…

This Is All

I have been writing songs on and off over the last 30+ years. In that time I’ve filled a couple of exercise books with quite a bit of music. I do my best with a very simple recording set up, the songs are all recorded using my 29 year old Washburn guitar and GarageBand on my iPad with a cheap mic in my front room, usually with a cup of coffee. And some biscuits.
