Here is another moody song, with chorus harmony by Jan Hauenstein.

https://fredgrittner.bandcamp.com/track/everything-to-wish-for

Everything to Wish For

I was taught
To be judicious
I got suspicious
Went my own way
If I were rich
So ambitious
That’s fictitious
One more someday

CHORUS
Between twilight and midnight
There’s a wide-open door
With nothing left to say
And everything to wish for
Everything to wish for

What’s gone down
Has left me reeling
A heartsick feeling
A shocking day
Don’t expect
I’ll feel better
If I let her
Have her own way
CHORUS

I gave chase
Tilting windmills
Building molehills
From tears and sand
Can’t say why
I’m optimistic
Am I simplistic
On where things stand
CHORUS

Good write, Fred. I like the low harmony. Excellent choice. A good soft sound unobstruced by ostentatious clamoring of ego-maniac musicians. Still, I miss them, but they have no place in this beautiful thought-provoking song. Well done.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Fred, a lovely, poignant song. Many good lines, but I particularly liked the "building molehills" passage. You're vocals deliver with a delicate touch that's nice to hear. Excellent arrangement and mix, too. Just great.

Really nice gentle song and vocals. You have a very young-sounding voice

Hi, Fred.

Love your use of language in the lyrics.

Pleasant to listen to, folk with a touch of melancholy.

Really nice. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

You set up a rhyming scheme in V1 that was interesting if a little tortured in execution, (judicious).
I missed that in the subsequent verses.
What are the BIAB components?
Nice, gentle rolling song.

Nice lyric and cool rhymes indeed.

As Peter said, "Pretty, gentle song, nicely sung"
That well sums it all up.

Enjoyed it!
