You don't know if you will live or die,
fortune favours those who dare to try,
take your chances and you never know,
show no fear, just let it go,

you are never alone,
were all in the danger zone,

Give a little love it's the only way,
give a little love if it's only for one day,
only for one day.

In this battlefield we dare to dream,
run against the wind or swim upstream,
doom dust ladens us with  words that fall,
A little love and we don't feel so small,

You are never alone,
were all in the danger zone,

Give a little love it's the only way,
give a little love if it's only for one day,
only for one day.

all the things that I see,
as the time passes by,
they're a wonder to me,
through the rain in my eyes,
if you never believed me,
you might never have known,
a little love is the answer,
a little love always grows.

You don't know if you will live or die,
fortune favours those who dare to try,

You are never alone,
were all in the danger zone,

Give a little love it's the only way,
give a little love if it's only for one day,
only for one day. ©KNmac


Best, kevin :) :)

Hey Kev ! Like the new rockier sound. Great power chords and I can never fault your production. I particularly like it when the guitars kick in after the breakdown section. Think this one has mega potential for well OTT Bvs.  This isong great mate, I really like it  :)

Hi Kev

Lovely clean sound...I think John's right in that some backing vocals would give it an extra kick here and there...but it's a pretty good as it is. The end caught me by surprise a little...I guess you had to wrap it up as the clock was ticking...

Great to see you still knocking them out at a very high standard  :)

Vocals sounding clear as a bell.  The standouts for me in this track are the rhythm pattern of the guitar chord playing in the verses ("duh duh-duh duuuuh" - love that), and the unexpected mellow middle 8 - it's a song that really goes on a journey between start and finish.  No real crits, I did wonder if it could be 10 bpm faster perhaps but I guess that's a balancing act between high energy and the kind of 'stateliness' it has at the minute.  Nice listening to start the week here - thanks.
It's all too beautiful.

Yo Kev.

 I always hear the more mature Geddy Lee in your voice when you release your inner Rush.

Super melodic and punchy. Wonderfully complete sound.

I can well imagine this as part of your set when you play a packed out festival.  8)  It's a pretty mad world when songs of this quality are largely unknown.

Kevin,
Neat rocking pop tune had me metaphorically bopping along.
Really like the drums and bass on this one.
Looking for some BV on chorus and maybe a solo after the 2nd chorus perhaps?

I write as I listen. Powerful guitar intro. I feel like the level of the vocals can be a bit lower. Maybe compressed. I love the strumming patterns. It's very rhythmically together. And the chorus is catchy as hell. Sounds a lot like a song REM would write. Maybe another layer would work, like some long organ notes to cover the high end in the verses. I love the chords in the chorus. Very big feeling. Also the production is very neat. The acoustic guitar entrance just jumped. Great B Section, DAMN. And the transition at around 3:03. It kicks ass. I'm really digging this song. The instrumental break reaaaaallly drives. This could be a montage song from a sports movie and i mean that in the best of ways. I'm really jamming to this one. Not much to nit pick about. Great Job Man

Hi

Great track, nice and rocky but with a soft centre, good lyrics and well sung vocal, I like the way it breaks down to a quieter section, the only niggle I have is that when it starts to build up after the breakdown, It feels like there should be a guitar solo of some sort there.

enjoyable listen,

Mikey

Great production! The guitar sounds terrific and the vocals are also very good! I like the lyrics, the message becomes really clear and matches with the music. Since that's what music is all about IMO, I think it's an awesome song.

Hi Kevin

Up to your usual high standards in music and production.  ;D
I kind of agree with someone who said could be a bit faster but I think if you sang in a higher register it would carry more emotion - don't want much do I?  ;D ;D Until the (bridge?) arrives the vocal range seems to be around maybe 5 notes so 4 me it gets a bit repetitive. Maybe need a lift or key shift earlier on? I wanna hear that amazing voice of yours soar!  ;D ;D

Pretty audacious of me nit-picking this level of quality though.
I enjoyed the listen!
Paul
