We had a few different singers help us out with this one, and it ends up with a group `We Are the World' vibe...of sorts.

This was written long before Barack Obama was even a candidate for The Presidency, and I tried to get it to his campaign team. Since he ran his campaign on Change...It seemed like a good place to use our song. I even went as far as joining Oprah's discussion boards, hoping that someone could help. LOL!
So...without further adu...

Hi Steve smile

Well the whole concept & your plan was a solid one for sure. It totally fits and you did a GREAT job on 1- being universal 2- Executed this arrangement and lay out.

This was very very good! GREAT CHORUS!! period! loved the group vocals and the way they sit "loosely tight" The engineer/producer me couldn't help but want to reach for those faders to adjust the levels smile Some vocals sitting behind others etc...
And just a slightly better mix overall.

There is not much to add to this as it hits the spot it attempted to. Good feeling very positive and everyone did a real nice job everywhere.

My only suggestions would have been in some phrasing. Especially the big ending
(which I loved) With a few people singing it's easy to trip over some words
This line - And we must talk about the change I liked when it worked off the
"Lets"

I would have pulled the "And"

The idea is GREAT and most of the execution as well. But fooling around with it a touch more would maybe make it even sweeter. Ya know change it up a bit then repeat that change up over & over & over.
Something like:

GROUP VOX-Ride out
Let's talk about the change
Let's sing about the change
Let's shout about the change
We must bring about the change

But that is minor... the vibe is there and the song is EFFECTIVE! & uplifting that's what counts the most.

Great work!

Thanks!
Peace Mike
