"Where Are The Great Ones" a Hook original For WorldPeaceFest

[Hook]

Been working on this for the last few days, wrote it with the mandobird. Not to sure about the mix, seems a bit muddy to me.

1 mandobird (stereo)
1 Ubass
1 drums (GB-stereo)
1 Aux percussion (DJ)
1 animoog app
1 vocal (stereo)

Where Are The Great Ones

written & performed by Hook

How is it that
so many of us have good intentions
yet we get nothing done

How can it be that
one can have millions
& millions still have none

Great power
great minds
great wealth
where are the great ones
Great morals
great ideals
great deception
where are the great ones

Why is it we
feel compelled
To stay safe by arming everyone

And why does it seem
that half the population just
really likes to kill

Great parenting
great neighborhoods
great schools
but where are the great ones
Great friends
great responsibility
great freedom
where are the great ones


And who can say if
it's just human nature
to be so polarized

Someone has a phrase - something like "We don't need any more successful people", we need more people who care, who want to help, who want to love", or words to that effect as their signature comment at the end of all their comments on this site. Can't remember who it is, but i thought yep that says it all for me. There is no room for bringing up our kids the way the western world does. Yes we are all special but we need more humility to survive.

ON WITH THE SONG... Great song Hook. Power by simplicity... a thing of beauty. Great message. Love it.

Great song Hook......my son was listening and says it sounds like WEEN...interesting observation........I said to him that it's Hook, and Hook has his own unique and special style.....Hook style...........Hookatronics.....Hooked on the beauty.................Hook-a-licious.

I've just learnt about the Epiphone Mandobird. Thank you for that revelation for starters.

And thank you for the truths in this song. It's re-centred my morning on the things that really matter (and that's not the costing spreadsheet I'm struggling with!).
