vs 1:
A long time ago came a tiny spark
in the mind of a man with music in his heart
filled with passion from the start
he got us rockin together...worlds apart
People loggin in night and day
layin down tracks when there's time to play
lyric writers here got plenty to say
where there's a tune there's a way
chorus:
Nicky Testa knows who's online
part time rockers makin music full time
God bless Nick and this day and age
for giving us a virtual stage
vs 2:
an 80's heart throb is now a family man
a painter slash guitarist is writing all he can
some girls are singin and guys are too
who knew bass players were so cute
awesome drummers keepin us in time
and time is always flyin' by
hearing your best seems to bring out mine
It's the collabbin state of mind
chorus 2:
Nicky Testa knows who's online
part time rockers makin music all the time
thank God for Nick and this day and age
for puttin us on virtual stage
bridge:
Nobody plays the keys
like the Germans and Portugese
it's not about fortune and fame
I mean Aidan doesn't even use his real name!
too many skills here to mention
known by acronyms & avatars
Domes, Heads, Fenders, Strats,
Noobs to Heroes........all stars
vs 3 :
dolphin and a monkey mixing work and fun
a married couple get some writing done
guys behind a camera sometimes get out front
here on MCS they'e all number 1's
authors search for a sound that belongs
we audition & hope it's not all wrong
fragile egos get tough before long
Cos it's all about the song
everyone has a dream to sell a million songs
it's written in the sparkle in your eye
no one wants to think it though it may be wrong
within reality here in disguise
chorus 3:
Nicky Testa knows who's online
part time rockers makin music over-time
God bless Nick and this day and age
for giving us a virtual stage
outro:
long ago a man with music in his heart
got us all rockin together....worlds apart

I just want to say thank you to everyone, here, before I forget! I still have credits to add, and Steve's red verse of lyrics, but I wanted to get this much done before work. :)
Everybody did so well with this. I love it!! I never get sick of it, and I notice new things and people each time I listen. :) Thanks everyone!
-
Great job pulling this all together Tricia.. and Mark and Dave and everyone! A cool tribute to our host with the most! :)
-
Thanks Jay, your keys breathed life into the chorus. I loved that from the beginning. :)
-
You did it Tricia...pulled us all together...it wasn't easy , and that it came out so great is testament to you and all the talented musicians here.
You All Rock !
CD
-
CD, you have a gift. I will pray that your ears stay healthy for your whole life, so you can keep on doing what you do so well. :) thanks
-
Anyone out there good at artwork. ( Im sure there are loads of you ) If we all post this song on various music sites around the internet we should have the same pic to go with it. ;)
Bobby
-
yes! good idea Bobby! I'll advertise in the project thread! :)
-
You All Rock!
Thanks for the nod, but this song is really about all of you and the dedication you bring to your music.
I am very proud to have you all here at MCS. There are a lot of collab sites these days and I am honored that you choose to play here.
Thanks Tricia for keeping this going. And thanks to all the people who continue to do great things at MusiciansCollaboration.com !
Regards,
Nick
-
Tricia,
Congratulations - you pulled this off - very well done.
Reading through the list of credits, it's great to see that quite a large number of musicians and singers pitched in to help with this tribute to Nick.
Great performances, singing and playing, and capped off with a fine mix by CD.
NickT you're the man!!
Cheers
Andy
PS _ we are the world has nothing on this ;D
-
Yes, I agree. We all make a million songs here. It's simply the most convenient site IMO. Then we show our songs off on other sites. I think it would be good to post this song on those sites and direct people back here, to MCS! This is where it all starts! 8)
Have fun showing this song off everyone! You guys rock!
-
Everyone:
Very well done, quite an undertaking, very enjoyable listen.
I know this has been in the mix for a long time, Nick T. you're gonna be famous.
Paul
-
Thanks Paul! I also want to say now, that a lot of new members have joined since this was written. Some of you jumped in to sing which is great! but I want to also dedicate this to those members who did not get a chance to play or sing or be alluded to in my crazy lyrics!!!
If you love this site, this song is yours too! :)
-
This was geat to be a part of and thanks for being such a dynamo Tricia.
Thanks to all you other hugely tallented people, but primarily to the pillar of our site, the genuine good guy and my (our) great buddy Nick....................you create the canvas by providing the site and such a great environment that encourages us all to paint on friend.
IMHO Nick, you create excellent songs bro (that tend to always make me think of Tom Petty for some reason, excepting the Aint TV collection!!!) but also paint the most remarkable sound pictures too, painting them in the much underestimated, maligned and grossly under-used 17 bit format >:D >:D >:D
Let's all keep rocking guys and continue to make this such an amazing place to hang-out. 8) 8) 8)
Let's also give us all the gift of 72 hour days (for at least the next two years anyway!)!!!! :D :D :D
I feel so privileged to be here with so many great friends and buddies :) :)
-
A lot of fun - well done all.
Let's also give us all the gift of 72 hour days (for at least the next two years anyway!)!!!! :D :D :D
I'm managing to squeeze 72 hours out of each day, but unfortunately I'm only getting just over 2 days out of every week.
-
Like it George!! 8) 8) :) :)
-
Great job by everyone here. Special hats off to Tricia for this concept. Great fun!! Nice mix CD. You did it well. 8)
A special, special hats off to Nick for creating this site. Well done bro!!! Worthy of a song. ;D 8)
Dave

Thanks Tricia, Guitar George (This Nick always reminds me of Sultains of Swing)... Thanks Nick.
Thanks all... Bless ya...
What else can I say? ... Much thanks for letting me be an humble part of your tunes :)
-
Hey,
what a fun! Thank you for the music! I love it. :) You all are so damned good. CD is a Magician, he did a great job ;D
I came here one year ago (!), and I had a great time here with you all. I found new friends and people who invited me to make music together. A few really great songs that we made together here so far!
I hope a lot more will come.
Thx MCS!
-
Great job all!! Looks like majority of the membership joined in!! ;)
-
You know, putting the concept and obvious gratitude we have for our distinguished leader aside....this is a very tasty song. The music and vocals are all done with a real professional attitude and quality that must scare the crap out of the big corporations. Plus, the mix came out superb. Well done Tricia and everyone who played a part and a hearty big pat on the back for Nick and Gerk for making and steering the MCS ship.
A thought - As anyone thought about contacting local media? I really think they'd be interested in covering the story of online collaboration and in particular this site. Social sites like facebook and twitter are getting lots of media interest but this site is unique and has a story about friendships being forged across the continents.....irrespective of age, race or religion (please note, world leaders!) Put down your guns and pick up a guitar......love is all you need! - Just a thought.
Billy.

Thanks Billy! :)
hmmm, now you got me thinking......

Wise words Billy !

I used to always say "put down your guns and pick up an axe",.. but that never came across properly. ??? Ya Billy's quote is better! ;D

Just saw this. Just remember, a place does not make a party, the people do!
I feel bad that I haven't had the time to create as I used to. I miss working with everyone here.
And of course you Steve. We were pumping out the hits! I hope as the weather turns and we get a bit of a nip in the air, I can refocus my efforts to making some great music with great friends!

I heard this song on an old playlist on my phone today and I felt like bumping it up for memories!!!! :D ;D

:) Crazy !! Shows how much fun can be had here. It's very full but I believe that was the idea. 8)
Hope to get back into the musical swing again. Painting took a front seat for now. :P
Dave
-
I can't believe how much has happened since we made this song. CD's baby grew up, he finished his album, he sold his house, you bought a house, Dave and sold your famous artworks! 8) 8)
Time is flying by!
-
Time flies by but we're all still young. Many days ahead of us and lots to do & create. :) 8)

Great song and a wonderful collaboration! It shows how many great talented musicians we have here.

I take a couple of months off and you guys do something monumental, that'll teach me to stay away for so long. Great work by all and Bless you Nick for creating this place. :)
