Here In This Moment (Collaboration with J.J. Terrell and Josh Clary)

[Ross S]

This is a collaboration I just finished up with some friends over on Soundcloud, J.J. Terrell and Josh Clary. J.J. composed this beautiful tune on piano, and asked me to contribute lyrics/vocals. I did all the final mixing/mastering in CbB.

We didn't originally intend this to be a Thanksgiving song per se, but it kind of worked out that way! Hope you enjoy!

J.J. Terrell - Original Music Score, Arrangement, Piano, Cello, Strings
Ross Smithe - Original Lyrics, Vocals, Mixing/Mastering/Production
Josh Clary - Mandolin, Bass

Some songs have beautiful lyrics and some have beautiful melodies and this has both.  Very nice Ross.

Hey Lynn, thanks for taking time to drop in for a listen. Always appreciate your ears and comments!!

Well done. I don't think that  the strings  as an intro was needed, it would better as a outro

@Terry Carroll Thanks for listening and commenting! Appreciate the thought about the strings at the beginning, I actually tend to agree about the structure of it. My partner, JJ Terrell, composed and arranged it that way, and he was really set on it. He asked me to just do lyrics and vocals/melody, so my input was somewhat limited.
