DON'T FORGET US CREATIVE PEOPLE!!! Giving away our songs for practically nothing by Giants like Apple, Goole and Facebook will backfire. We may just all go away... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POUTrXI4LD4BarryFor every summer breeze, there's a hurricane For every story told there's and end But ends and beginnings, they don't mean that much It's what goes on between, between the scenes For every picture there's a thousand words For every melody there's a song For perfect harmony the world needs love That's the way it is, just the way it is What if all the Painters refused to paint And all the Writers put down their pens What if all the Composers in the world would say We're not going to write (compose) another day What if all the Poets refused to rhyme And all the Architects stayed home The World would fall on its beautiful face And we'd have to face the World alone For all the laughter, there's a cry of pain For all the frowns there's a smile For every breath we take, there is an end of the Road From time to time you better take the time... better find the time. (Repeat Chorus)

Hi Barry.
Nice write. I enjoyed this song, nice melody and lyrics that speak to "what we take for granted," nicely done.
In the first verse, I thought if you could say "rather," than "it's--might be more contrasting to statement previous which is your point anyway.
Good job!
steady-eddie.

Neat song Barry. Melodically strong and lyrics that make you think. I thought this was the strongest of yours that I have heard. Most enjoyable listen and a super vocal performance to boot.

What a beautiful song. The lyrics are so powerful in places it makes the music just a backdrop, as it should be. On a technical/musical level it's not very strong but I don't think this song is about the musicianship, it's the message, which is conveyed very well in the lyrics. Obviously heartfelt vocals. One of the best songs I've heard for some time. Made my day  Raggy
