Just finished writing and recording a 70's flavored song of the civil and social justice movement ongoing in the U.S. Tried to emulate our CSNY roots and emptied out the toy box of acoustics, electrics....and even a bit of banjo......and of course, vocal harmonies. Runs a bit longer than usual but I hope the arrangement holds your interest.
Recorded and mixed on Bandlab DAW.
Tear It Down words & music: Vance Grazio ©2020
Got no room in my heart for those who hate, those who hate
Nothing ever will change for those who wait, those who wait
Tear it apart from the inside
oh ah wo ah oh, oh ah wo ah oh
V2
Voices ring out, in the streets, in the streets,
Black brown and white, week after week, after week
Tear down walls, from the outside
oh ah wo ah oh, oh ah wo ah oh
Chorus:
The time is now, we march as one
This fight for justice, has begun
Through every town, from shore to shore
Until injustice breathes no more...............oh oh wo
Leadership void, POTUS insane, quite insane
Gas on a fire, fanning the flames, fanning the flames,
Tear it all down, from the topside
oh ah wo ah oh, oh ah wo ah oh
Repeat chorus
Got no room in my heart for those who hate, those who hate
Nothing ever will change if we wait, if we wait
Love and hope grows from the inside...out
oh ah wo ah oh, oh ah wo ah oh
oh ah wo ah oh, oh ah wo ah oh
oh ah wo ah oh, oh ah wo ah oh
oh ah wo ah oh, oh ah wo ah oh
Good theme - Good song! Not too long for me as the changing instrumentation keeps it moving. Love the leads. Well done!
your sound is really good....
I like how the track walks You through into the vocal ... good lyrics ...it was worth emptying the toy box
This is a great track with excellent vocal work and production. Lyrics are great too - in fact after watching the first debate yesterday I have to agree with the line about the POTUS. Some cool guitar work going on here too. Great work, guys; well done.
Excellent track,I like the way the lead guitar echoes off at the end of the lead guitar.
Lovely tone,and great performance.
Great to hear a banjo also.
Vocal is great too.
An excellent performance.
Spectacular and so very true. Definitely some CSNY ( one of my favs) vibes going on.
Rock on!
Excellent vocals....I dig those harmonies and backing vocals. Holding the drums out until the 2nd verse is a cool production choice. It transitions the song from folk to more of a rock vibe. Some cool guitar soloing n the style of Neil Young. Ha, just got to the banjo section...nicely done!
Such a cracking sound from the off , clear as a bell,its got a great grove going on , and i love when the guitar just creeps in and sings it part between the vocals , the guitar solo is just perfect i love it, and the dual thing is just brilliant , really rocks at this point , then back into the vocals just brilliant , one of my favourite songs on here brilliant stuff

Thank you all for all the feedback, much appreciated!!
oh yeah heavy 70's vibe and anything that remotely sounds like CSNY is good in my book well done guys
Tim
It does have a little bit of that 70's vibe to it, but it also sounds pretty modern. At least to my ears. It sounds good and I like it. My only slight quibble would be the drums seem a bit loud on the more sparse arrangement sections. But it's a small thing, really. This is good.
So well written and performed. The chorus with repeating vocals is just fantastic!! I like te chrystal clear production, too.
Fine job!
