"It's Hopeful Time Again" (v2, 2023)

A new version and arrangement of my earlier song, a.k.a. ”It’s Xmas Time Again”. I experimented with some different chords, inversions, voicings and chord progressions etc. and this is the result!

This was played by me using the Korg SGProX digital stage piano as a master keyboard. The main keyboard sound here is from the Yamaha Montage 8 (the great and ever so lovely Yamaha TX816 Electric piano performance which was converted from the original TX816 patch), layered with Gospel Musicians' Neo-Soul Keys Studio 2 (Dyno Rhodes) and Keyscape (Roland MKS-20). Other sounds that I have been privileged to use come mainly from the great UVI SonicPass instrument collection and the Arturia V Collection. The drums come from Native Instruments Abbey Road 80s Drummer. 

Recorded and mixed using Cubase Pro 13. Mixed with Cubase, with some very significant amount of help from iZotope Neutron 4. Mastered with iZotope Ozone 11.

Please take care of yourself and each other and please let us try to treat each other with due dignity and respect in this hopeful time of year.

Lyrics:
I’m past the point of a passive approach
And I’m inclined to respond to your aggressive tone
You’re aligned with the one with the smoking gun
And you try to deny you’re the abusive one
You cry alone
You’ll die alone
We’re beyond the point of a lesson to learn
And you’re trapped in the pyre that’s about to burn
You’re allowed to pray and/or apologize
But the fire prevails and it scorches lies
You cry alone
You’ll die alone
I’m past the point of a passive approach
And I’m inclined to respond to your aggressive tone
You’re resigned to pay for your sinister ways
And yet you still deny much of the things you say
You cry alone
You’ll die alone

A Passive Approach
