    Wow!!!! Put it on the radio. Anyone older than me will certainly relate.

    I liked it a lot. It’s a very “timely” song for many of us advancing in years, and would certainly touch a “chord” with many people. Go for it!

    Enjoyed the song as well as the theme and its relevance to life. Especially the message in it of what we forget to think about… the inevitable!

    AWESOME!!!

    I love your music! Wish this was the kind of music I could tune into when the radio is on! Love the harp accompaniment!

    I LOVE your style! The guitar riff in the beginning is awesome-I agree with other comments-you’re ready for radio…have you checked into Unity’s new radio station? Thanks for sharing your new song!

    Cliff,

    I love this song…such powerful words but presented in such a relaxed tone which gives it nice contrast. The vocals are mixed well and I’d definitely put it on your cd! Keep ‘em coming…

    My thoughts exactly! I will be 60 next year and I’m always asking myself, “what happened?” I have no idea how I got this old! BTW, I’m up in Boston now. Used to do the PowerPoint for CfCL. Hope you and Kathy are doing well. Tell her hello!

    Hey Cliff,

    Margaret and I both connected with this song and the arrangement is beautiful. Look forward to hearing it from you live very very soon!!

    Overall good mix and song. Good balance in voices and instrumentals. Your words were clear most of the time. Only a few suggestions for your engineer.

    Pitch was accurate but could use slight pitch correction on “What do you believe,” but most people would not notice it so…. I’m too picky at times.

    Message clear, mostly a question without a real answer. That’s OK. Get people thinking!!!!

    Slight timing problem after the first tick tock, then tambourine and other percussion feels micro seconds behind. Good rhythm just lacking the drive feel that is needed from percussion. Take the tracks and move it 5 micro seconds forward at a time until you feel the drums driving rather than lagging. Or give the drummer a little coffee and record the track. Only one cup! Two cups and he would be ahead of the beat. Speaking from experience. It’s a feel thing not a real timing problem. Tempo is ok if you are trying to present a laid back style. However “time is running out.” If you wish to convey a sense of urgancy, then 2 or 3 clicks faster would help. Again, not an issue, just artistic preference. Definite timing problem at very end and the final fade was a bit sudden.

    Blend of voices, good. Nice contrast in voice quality between verse and chorus. Good song.

    I agree with the others, this should be on the radio for the baby boomers. However, regardless of age, we should all not waste time while here.

    Keep’em coming.

    I think that it has a wonderful message that goes along with it. You did a great job of adding that message into this song. Personally, I think that you should add it to the cd because of what it’s meaning would tell others. Great job!

    Hi Cliff,

    Wonderful, wonderful message! It feels as majestic as it is in your song.

    Folks really need to get the message that there is abundance for everyone and that we are responsible for creating what we want and that we are worthy of all that we desire.

    As a Kabbalist, I hear the laws of the universe and the creator resonating in this song.

    cheers ruth;D

    Cliff,

    As usual melodiacally rich and lyrically satisfying and timely. I resemble those remarks. Keep up the good work , too bad talent doesn’t equal wealth… yet. When it does your right on my friend.

    WoW! That was a great new song, it sent goose bumbs up and down my body.
    You need to take that to the local radio stations to see if they will play it. It will be a hit!
    Unbelievable!

  • 17 Gail // Jan 5, 2009 at 6:09 pm

    I listened to it once and now I can’t stop humming it! FANTASTIC!!!! Keep it up, Cliff!
