So much feeling from that voice, beautifully arranged...

Great message I wish more would adopt. Really enjoyed this!

@803992456: Thanks very much for listening!

Full of emotion, the voice is warm, it communicates the text perfectly

Agree about the Leonard Cohen feeling in the prev. comment

You don't half do a good breakdown, do you? Excellent songwriting again. More, please.

Time flies and its important to seize the day. My second son has a tattoo .It says  CARPE DIEM!

Lyrics (Original Song)
Fear can make us jump like a puppet on a string
Survival mode to the rescue designed to save our skins
But when I let fear get a hold of me 
I can never be who I am meant to be
Am I my brother’s keeper  
Am I a stranger’s friend
Can I find safe harbor  
where I can live my life despite my fear  
The Dragon Slayer warned us of  the enemies in our midst
who strips the clouds of rain corrupts our spirits
So we rallied around the Dragon Slayers banner
And forgot the kindness we once knew
Repeat Chorus
In an instant fear rallies against danger
But calls us to set aside the beauty that blooms only  when we feel safe inside
Repeat Chorus

Fear

Recorded in Modesto, Ca.   Featuring Hammond B3 Organ solo. Gibson 335 Electric Guitar solo. Trumpet solo. Fender Electric Bass. Vibraphone Rhythm. Trap Drum Set, Full Kit. Percussion Tambourine, Zildjen Crash 22" Crash Cymbal.

Piano - Andy
Strings (vst)- Helen

Helen thought the repeating piano phrase reminded her of an old fashioned treadle weaving loom. So the track is a sort of homage to those who laboured at these devices to create fabric and clothing for the masses. The painting is "Weaver" by Vincent Van Gogh.

The Weaver

Creating this tune, I was mostly focused on rhytmical pattern and spiced up the 4/4 Beat  with a small amount of Funk essence.
And... do scratches work, implemented in electronics?
In modern productions these are almost extinct.

Movement

This isn't autobiographical in any way, it's just a story...
forgive my singing and the possibly (definitely) over the top background vox lol..

The way the morning broke that day
The sun was coming up in such an ordinary way
The day they sent you away
How could we get that news on such a lovely summer day?
a mother lost in all her tears
a brother lost inside his fear
How could they do this thing to you?
It don’t seem real, it can’t be true

for me the days were flying by
For you the world was standing still, i wondered why
It’s the beginning of the end
All The time that’s lost that you could never find again

And it seemed like a million years 
But the day at last appeared
Where was your life when you came home?
The world had left you all alone

And when our mother died, it finally broke in you
I know you never cried, and if i were you i’d be angry too
I found your guitar by your door
You said that you would never play it anymore
Some nights i hear it through the walls
It takes me back to times when we were brothers through it all

You were always there for me
Even when you couldn’t be
I wish they hadn’t stole your life away
For some little thing, that’s not a crime today
I hope you know, good things will come to you one day,
Just keep holding on, I’m with you all the way…

Oh, my brother,  sweet brother

Lyrics used (full lyrics on original track)
I find moments when the music isn’t inside of me
But I’m inside of the music floating around free
Relaxing and moving - come on follow me
Step inside - feel the vibe - it’s almost heavenly
Warm and deep - take the leap - a total odyssey
Free your mind, let’s unwind and find the frequency
Free your mind, let’s unwind and find the frequency
Find the frequency

Now vibe with me
Come on vibe with me
Come on fly with me
Come on vibe with me 

Come on where you been — the challenge is within
Again it all like letting go and floating in the wind
Sunshine and rain, can’t stop its happenings
The power and strength - all so ravishing
No heights, depth or lengths - never limiting
Day or night - anytime — nothing is more certain
It’s what you hear and how you feel - that's interpreting
Close your eyes and free your mind - what are you picturing
Harmony as we evolve and that is everything
That is everything

Free your mind, let’s unwind and find the frequency
Free your mind, let’s unwind and find the frequency

Vibe with me
Come on vibe with me
Come on fly with me
Come on vibe with me
 
Repeat
