What a great song, congratulations for your work!
The song itself has a great mood, it's very well written and has a distinct sound. Although I think it could benefit from a different final and if you shorten it a bit.
The lyrics complement the song very well, they have a uplifting effect.
The recording sounds nice. I have some questions: Did you use a keyboard? Did you bounce the instrumental part and then recorded the vocals on the two empty tracks? The Drums are onboard, right?
Thank you for sharing your work.

drums recorded from pc using cubase via line in to tracks 1 and 2 , then guitars to tracks 3 and 4 then bounce to tracks 1 and 2 v2 then so on and on, vocals done on micro built in mike then just kept bouncing to fit it all on.no keyboards used on this one, as i remember. lol

great song man, really inspirational.
I read some reply that said "try using different octives with the vocals"
is this song an example of that?

i think so , not sure if vocal harmony is a full octave apart but singing lead vocal twice but at two varying pitches, yeah probably an octave apart, as in the same key but one high one low, does that make sense hic, yes ive bin drinking again.

Ah, the good old days!
Oldrottenhead posted this wonderful song three years ago today on his 48th birthday. It was his first post at Songcrafters (known as microrecorders.org at the time) and only the 9th message ever posted by anyone.
Happy Birthday, James!

I browsed ORH's playlist and noticed this fabulous tune! The first one by him!! I listened it via headphones and watched the video (linked on page 1). Fine job! The backing vocals works well! Very catchy brit pop song with 80's feel, imo!

Way to go ORH! I always say no matter what a song is recorded on...if the performance is there and most importantly if the song is appealing it will shine through. This is a great song and the fact that you recorded it on an Micro Br gives it even more appeal. Great work!

It has an infectious uplifting energy to it.
The mix and production smartly executed.
I just love the feel of it. It really stays with you.

Bump for the birthday boy and a great song. This is the earliest song post remaining here at Songcrafters (there was one earlier one by Pedro but he deleted it). Attachment #3 (attachment #2 is Pedro's avatar). This song post (and the site) is now four years old!

This is the second song ever posted at Songcrafters. However, since Pedro deleted the first song, this is the earliest surviving song post. And what a song! Still sounds as great today as it did when I first heard it ten years ago.

by now I have heard quite a few ORH tunes...this is so good...really flows along nice...very uplifting as Pedro said on page 1...but for me not to long...not at all..I really enjoyed the video...seemingly about a guy with big ideas and belief that everyone else pretty much blows off...and his face when he hit times square...so happy..
too bad I don't have time to hear every one of James songs or every song on SC...but I give it a good try though...

A flash from the past. This might have been from a little before I joined the board. It is so good I think I would have remembered it if I had heard it. I love the lyrics and the bass and backing vocals sound especially good on this.
