Stand Up - andy casson

[andy casson]

What to say about this?
1. It's a happy song (ish) - likely to be the only song I write with a major key change for the hook
2. Spot the wife calling me for breakfast! (clue: not once)
Enjoy! 

Stand Up
Andy Casson
9th Feb 2013

Stand Up, reach for the skies it's your life

Take my hand now, don't speak in tongues
The gift of life rests not only with the young
And though their hunger may have gone
Take my hand now...and we'll face the sun

The times are trying, these days are hard
I sometimes feel that all I have in life is marred
You must stand up now, you must stand tall

Read the signs, they're there on the wall
I'll give you a hand now, you've got to stand tall

Stand Up, reach for the skies it's your life

Excellent track Andy - good to see you back and producing again. Liked the big sound which is your trademark.
Didn't hear the call, will have a listen on the cans :-) Its annoying - its usually knock-knock, are you recording :-)

HI Andy supurb song almost in my opinion a protestyet a fight song
especially with the lyrics stand up ........either way a great original
loved it ...keep rocking NEIL!

[Greeny]

A great, expansive soundscape with plenty of hooks. Really nicely put together - love the attention to detail and the 'craft' you've put in. Man, that main refrain is catchy as hell!

[cuthbert]

Definitely an anthemic feel to this one, Andy. Love the guitar tones, and that is one catchy chorus!

[Redler]

I'm listening this via headphones... sounds great; on the left, there's solid bass tones and on the right cool lead gtr licks! Great songwriting! The chorus is just fantastic!

Definately outside your norm... Kinda has a quirky vibe almost Blind Melonish... which is great in my book. Love the hook... way to reach for the skies bro. A+

[DeificDave]

Great stuff, very cool guitar work, great upbeat rocking song, well done!

[AndyR]

Oooh yeah, like this one a lot.

I couldn't hear the missus on it either... (and I'm on cans) ... so, don't pay her a penny of royalties for this one
