FAWM: "ONE LIGHT"

ONE LIGHT

Liner Notes

This is #14, but I have one more to upload tomorrow. I think these last 2 are my best.

More importantly: I started a Forum Topic yesterday after I learned that there will be no 50/90 this summer. The topic is 'Possible solutions for the 50/90 "problem"', and you may have to look around for it since the moderators indicate they will no longer "bump it up". I'm the designated Bad Guy in the thread, because I'm concerned about 50/90 disappearing forever. So far, everyone else seems happy with taking a year off. Sigh... Feel free to weigh in there, if you can find the unbumped thread.

ONE LIGHT

Verses fade to silence
As the night grows long
Will you hear my whisper?
Or has the moment gone?

We dream of unity
In a world torn apart
One chance to make it right
Before the new day starts

The road ahead is winding
No map to guide our way
But if we walk together
We'll find a brighter day

Chorus:
One hope, one light
Shining through the dark
One voice, one song
To heal our broken hearts

Can we build a bridge
Across this great divide?
Will you take my hand
And leave the past behind?

Chorus:
One hope, one light
Shining through the dark
One voice, one song
To heal our broken hearts

I love the hope and light exuded from all your songs. It seems you’ve stepped some things up this year, even if just a tad. It feels that way… Nice work!

@emplate 3d

Love the airy keyboards. They sparkle around so beautifully. The chorus is great and catchy, has that grand anthem-like feel to it! Also a really great hook to put it once more in the end, but more stripped-down.

@karlsburg25 3d

Well what a beautiful lyric you've projected so perfectly here. Its so good to be out of my silent retreat and catching up. This really has so much to it. I adore the chord movements and the hooks are so so catchy. Truly a magical piece of work

@chipwithrow 3d

Love the message here, and the wonderfully catchy and memorable delivery! That chorus is anthemic, and those are some tasty instrumental parts. Great and uplifting listen!

@almask17 4d

Really Good Poppy song with great hooks and production . Great Song .

@katestantonsings 4d

You knock out melody after melody--truly a gift!! Lyrics are uplifting.

@musicsongwriter 4d

Beautiful positive song, Jerry. Please keep them coming. I love your happy and nostalgic songs. And u too will mii 50/90. Let's hope there will be a solution.

@paul_pedersen 4d

Another super song, Jerry, but that's no surprise. Everything in your song works well and leads to the chorus that positively soars.

And I'm another sad voice who will miss 5090, both the event and the friendships within.

@billwhite51 4d

this is a tremendous song. positive, uptempo...an anthem for us all as we face the void of a lost 50.90.

@sbs 4d

Awesome production. Has a bit of an 80s synth sound.

@mariekevink 4d

Oh I am always envious of people who can do more than record with just a guitar and a vocal.
I like the uplifting lyrics of this. The musical uplift in the chorus reflects it perfectly. The bass and drums give it a nice "driving" feel. Good work!
