Another Morning, Another Song

When angels spread their wings to fly
It makes a righteous sound
Stands me up, shakes me down,
Turns me right around

Then I kick away my troubles
Don't feel sorry for myself
Thinking I've got nothing
'Cause I'm a little short on wealth

Angels chant their songs of praise
They give me wings on lonely days
Where I stand's where I belong
Another morning, another song

It's easy not to see the trees
Because the forest's dark
But when I look around I
Feel like Noah in his ark

Waiting for a bright new day
With a heart that's full of love
Knowing all the universe
Will conspire to send a dove

Angels chant their songs of praise
They give me wings on lonely days
Where I stand's where I belong
Another morning, another song

I fill my days with glory
Trying to see beyond what's there
I'm in the lap of luxury
I've got water, sun, and air

I know the knife of longing
And the tears of deep regret
But I'll still sing Hallelujah
Even when my cheeks are wet.

Angels chant their songs of praise
They give me wings on lonely days
Where I stand's where I belong
Another morning, another song

Regards,
Steffen

Hi Everyone,

I had fun doing this track with all you cool people.

Steffen, nice work, it was quite something to pull this off!!

Thanks for boosting the horns at the end!!!

I hope I havent been to difficult with my 'demands".

And I like your electric piano/rhodes playing a lot on this one.

Cheers
Andy

PS - could you send a link for an ape/wav version for download??

Andy, I'll try uploading a flac or ape again later. My dsl connection keeps breaking down every two or three minutes, so uploading big files is impossible at the moment.

It has been like that the whole weekend.

Regards,
Steffen

Yes, the mix sounds great, Steffen. Well done all round, I reckon.

(Steffen, I still have to smile every time I hear those keys trickling through every now and again.

)

And of course wonderful to have one more song over the finish line.

I'll echo all those sentiments as well.... great job everyone, it's turned out really nice... as well as being my first "completed" song in the MCS.

Best Wishes
Mike

I like the horns in this song...nice sound.

The music is pretty tight sounding on this track and was done very well...nice job.

The mix sounds great...getting close to a pro sounding mix on this one.

Thanks, Vincent! I'm very glad you like the mix. I'm still not sure - it does match my own demands, but my experience is that my taste is not representative.

Regards,
Steffen
