We All Need Reasons To Live

[StephenM]

kind of an open mic song... recorded 1 mxl mic on the zoom L-20

mixed on the Zoom with some on board effects.

Mastered with ARTG and One Knob Volume in Audacity.

some it might be justice
some it might be love
others might give warning of frightening things to come.
some will demonstrate things.
some will bring the food.
Others can water, a dry mans thirsty soul.

some just love their families
and earn an honest wage.
they wanna grow and be the fire that's inside.
climbin heavens mountain
from the caves below

after all like it or not
we all came forth from one you know.

Oh, that guitar sounds so sweet on this. Fine acoustic song and slow tempo works nicely on it!

Nice job, Stephen!

[Zoltan]

That introduction was such a good idea. It set the mood for what was to come. I think we need more of these kinds of spoken word introductions.

This one would fit on the Stephens Mountain of a Song Music album. One strong number. Would have gone down well at the open mic.

[Farrell Jackson]

Good stuff Stephen! I felt like I was at a real open mic performance. I like hearing live recordings and I like the beginning narration, it was so cool!

[Ray Brookes]

Love that live vibe, Stephen. Nice sounding acoustic and cool lyrics. I like that spoken intro too!

[DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee]

It's nice to hear your speaking voice at the intro Stephen.
This would be great sang and played as an open mic live song.
That's some great lyrics too. Some cool guitar playing and I like the chords. Bravo.

I like it much and agree, the spoken word intro is part of the song, good idea!

[Odi]

I'm hearing some W Va "Bluegrass" tones here 

Good lyric!
