the world keeps turning

[Oldrottenhead]

hoop sent me some music i added some martin luther king the rest is history hope i dont offend

[Tony G]

CRANK THEM VOCALS... no offense here... good meaning to the song.. i like it.

[Oldrottenhead]

i came back from the pub last night and posted the wrong version of this song, i had forgotten i hadnt actually mastered the latest version, so sorry hoop you have heard this one already. am mastering new version with a doubletracked vox will post asap.

[Greeny]

This is really excellent. Great performances all round, and a belting chorus.

[Oldrottenhead]

ok this looks like the final mix, this time vocals are recorded dry with no effects to make the lyric a bit clearer, i should be sending the vocal tracks to hoop in case he wants to dabble further. here are the lyrics and the possible final mix.
The world keeps turning round

I wish it was that simple
And the rules where black and white
But you wont find solutions
In their politic soundbite
There are no easy answers
To our troubles and our woes
like putting toothpaste in the tube
you know it doesn't go

its turning.....maybe theres another way
the world keeps turning round
its turning.....just get us through another day
the world keeps turning round
its turning.....another trip around the sun
the world keeps turning round
its turning.....it'll keep on going when we're gone
the world keeps turning round
the world keeps turning round
the world keeps turning round

I have a dream etc.......

Its one step forward one step back
We split the atom then smoke crack
We rape and pillage for the good
In god we trust in god we should
No need to question when you've faith
As long as me and mine are safe
And all the heathens know fine well
That they will slowly burn in hell

its turning.....maybe theres another way
the world keeps turning round
its turning.....just get us through another day
the world keeps turning round
its turning.....another trip around the sun
the world keeps turning round
its turning.....it'll keep on going when we're gone
the world keeps turning round
the world keeps turning round
the world keeps turning round
the world keeps turning round

Good job all around guys. Lyrics and music complement
each other nicely. 

If I could tweak one thing...  The MLK speech seems (to me)
to end abruptly.  I would include a couple more
seconds and fade it out as the vocal is coming back in.

would love to get him back in to redo it.lol. but i had to cut it there as there is really loud and rapturous applause from the crowd

Great song guys.

Jim: You always write great lyrics but these are my favourite so far. Well done!

My only suggestion is that I think the chorus could use some soft background vocals.
