Thanks again, Patrick. Sometimes the words just fall into place and sometimes I really struggle. I just keep plugging until I find something that fits 🙏🙏🎸🎹💖😄😄😄
Great original song Gary!!! Loved it and the lyrics! 👏👏👏 you are definitely a talented singer-songwriter my friend, and love the backgrounds tied in with the music 👍🎵🎶🎵. Take care and enjoy the coming week! Steve
Another wonderful song, Gary! Great Questions and awesome lyrics! 😀👍 Sometimes I wonder, what we really know about the nature of our own lives. Thanks for the awesome moment. 🙏🥰 Best wishes, my wonderful friend! ❤☮️🎵🎶
Bravoooo, dear Gary, you have once again managed to create something great. A beautiful melody, great lyrics and your voice is simply brilliant. I'm happy to repeat myself again, I just love this guitar-heavy music. Well done, my friend. Have a great weekend. Love from the other side of the pond. 🎶💯💯💯🌞😎🎤🎸😎😍 # 60 👍
Many thanks, Kurt. I am so glad that you enjoyed it and it's always great to hear from you, and I I really appreciate the kind words. I hope all is well with you and have a terrific weekend, dear friend 🙏🙏🎸🎹❤️ 😄😄
Another winner GARY. Your lyrics are always so thought-provoking I always find each song a joy to listen to. Sometimes I am lost for words. As when it is this good there aren't many words you can use to describe the performance. I say Brilliantly done BRAVO, ENCORE! Have a great weekend Gary. Your fan and friend, Patrick.🎹🎼🎵🎶🎻🎺🎸🎸🎸🎸
Thanks a million, Patrick. As usual, you are way too kind. I can always count on you to put a smile on my face. I really appreciate your lovely comments. I hope all is well with you and have a great weekend, dear friend 🙏🙏🎸🎹❤️
Wow Gary this is an absolutely fabulous composition, and a wonderful performance from you. I really enjoyed this, very well done my friend. Like No 29. Look after yourself, and have a lovely coming week. All the very best Gary. John
Well done, Gary! A very well-crafted new original. I lean more toward free-will. If we make good decisions that have a positive outcome, we are at a better place physically and mentally, no matter how big or small. 👍
Thanks a million, Matt. I really appreciate you checking out a few videos from my library. It's kind of funny how most people only look at your most recent video, which may or may not be your best. 🤔😄🙏🎸🎹💖
Hi Gary, I enjoyed very much to listen and watch your new upload. The soundtrack sounds atmospheric and the lyrics make me thoughtful although I believe that we will never really find an answer to that question. A pretty good theme to sing and write about. I like to have a message in a song. Like 61 👍 Have a good time - Peter
Thanks for listening and the thoughtful comment, Peter. You are right, we will never know the answer, but it makes for interesting discussion. I really appreciate the visit and the kind words. Have a great weekend, my friend 🙏🙏🎸🎹❤️
Gary you are so good with all what you play and sing and produce. I really loved the lyrics of this one, sooo thought provoking and beautiful. Great tune too ~ Anna👏🎸
Wow! Such a profound song, Gary!👍😎👍 Great poetry... powerful singing... perfect pickin', as always, bro.💗 Very best wishes to you and yours. Peace and brotherhood 😃🙏💗 Mac (aka RE-VO)
Another lovely, thoughtful song! Your music, lyrics, and vocals are always so outstanding. There is so much we don't know about so many things! I guess we just have to get used to that! Sometimes it's hard to do!
Thanks so much, Karen. I appreciate when someone comments on a video, but it really means a lot when someone acknowledges the song writing, because that's what I pour my heart and soul into, trying to make each song melodic, meaningful and unique. So thanks for that special sentiment, my friend 🙏🙏🎸🎹❤️
You are right this is the age old question - does free will exist? You would like to think that we have the free will to ponder or not ponder that question but who knows. I enjoyed your thoughtful song. Your lyrics are always interesting! 😀
Great song again Gary. Interesting topic I believe we have not as much free decisions as we might think. On the other hand there is no absolutelypredefined destiny as well... Love the way you bring up topics everyone can somehow relate to! Great songwriting!!
Gary, your first paragraph says a million things. I do sometimes wonder what our purpose is here on earth, possibly because my mum used to say "there is no Hell - we are living hell here on earth". I then shake all these thoughts off myself and get on with things. You then come along with one of your songs of profundity, and I realise my thoughts and feelings are not that uncommon. It is always an eye/ear opener watching and listening to your videos Gary and this is no exception. You put some amazing songs our way. This was another one to be cherished, and the images in your video all tell a story. BRAVO!
Thank you so much, Diane. I really appreciate the kind words. I always enjoy hearing your lovely thoughtful comments. It always puts a smile on my face. I hope you are having a wonderful 4th of July, my dear friend 🙏🙏🎸🎹❤️❤️
Came back for another listen Gary. I love the lyrics they make so much sense for each and everyone of us. I love the music and the drums in the back ground and the backing you have made to go with this. It must take you a long time to put this all together. Like I think 2 or 3 days at least to do all parts. WELL DONE GARY keep them coming Great to see you again. Your fan and friend Patrick. Have a wonderful weekend.🎉🎉🍃🍃🍂🍂💖💖🍀🍀🍁🍁🎷🎷🙋♂🙋♂🎹🎹🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵🎹🎹🙋♂🙋♂🎷🎷🎉🎉💖💖
Thanks a million, Patrick. It's always great to hear from you. How long it takes from start to finish varies, depending on a few things. You know what usually takes me the longest is deciding on a topic to write about 🤔🤔. Then I play around with a chord progression on the guitar and get a basic idea of the melody and then write lyrics that match the cadence or at least somewhat fit the melody I had in mind. Once I have a subject in mind, I write rather quickly and will usually have the lyrics in a couple of hours. Then I go to the keyboards to add the orchestration. I wish I had your keyboard skills, if so, that part would go much quicker. That part of the process is always trial and error and I just experiment with different instruments to add backing melodies until it sounds right to my ear. Videos are always a challenge for me, because some subjects don't lend themselves to a simple video interpretation, and sometimes the right videos are difficult to find. Another factor is, sometimes, I am just lazy or not in the mood to finish a project rapidly. With all that being said, you are just about right, I can complete a project in about 3 days if I stick to the task. So that is my basic process and I'm glad that you are enjoying it. I always appreciate the kind words and support, my dear friend. Have a great weekend 🙏🙏🎸🎹💖😄
Excellent song Gary. I really enjoyed the lyrics on this one exploring determinism and freewill. The music was great too with lots of interesting fills. Loved the video too... those old cars really got me, something haunting about them. A very well put together package, definitely one of your best. But they are all good. Keep rocking my friend:)
Thanks a million, John. I always have a lot of fun putting the music together, but videos often leave me scratching my head, wondering what fits with the music and where to get it, so I guess these AI created images seem to make life easier for me. It's always great to hear from you and I appreciate it, pal 🙏🙏🎸🎹❤️
Nice one Gary, reminds me of a Hobbit movie song. Maybe Gandalf can give some food for thought on your question. Gandalf was speaking to Bilbo Baggins. “Surely you don’t disbelieve the prophecies, because you had a hand in bringing them about yourself? You don’t really suppose, do you, that all your adventures and escapes were managed by mere luck, just for your sole benefit? You are a very fine person, Mr. Baggins, and I am very fond of you; but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all!” J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit (The Lord of the Rings) Thanks for sharing. I like the Wizard’s wisdom. 🧙♂️Have an awesome week. ✨🎵💜M & D
Aww...very apt analogy, M&D 🤔🤔 Thank you so much for dropping by and the fascinating insight. It's always great to hear from you my friends. I love the wizards wisdom, also. 😉🙏🙏🎸🎹❤️
Definitely gives a soul something to think about!!!! Super song and performance Gary!!!!👍👍👍👍 Be Well My Friend, Dave 😎 PS: question. What do use to tie all the tracks together? Do you use a multi track recorder?
Thanks a ton, Dave. Great to hear from you. I record directly into my computer using an audio interface. I use one called Focusrite, but there are several available. You just plug it into your PC via a USB cable and then plug your microphone and guitar (or whatever) into the interface. You need to download the software called a DAW (digital audio workstation). There are several of these available, but I use a free one called Cakewalk by Bandlab. This basically gives you a music studio at home, and you can record as many tracks as you like. It may sound complicated, but there are tons of how-to videos on RUclips. It took a while to learn the basics but I don't regret it one bit. Look into it, you might enjoy it, my friend 🙏🤔😁👍
Gary, cracking song musically and vocally lovely piece of writing bro😊 3:33
