"Bathe In The Light"    Lyrics 
There comes a time in everyone's life,  When you've got to stand up and do what's right.
Don't let your time slip away out of sight,  Just get on up and do it tonight. 
Some people say only their way is right, They've got all the answers and they've seen the light.
Never give in and blindly follow them,  And don't give up without a fight 
chorus --- Bathe in the light, when the time is right
                 Don't fade quietly into the night , Bathe in the light... 
What's the point of being alive,  If you don't live every day of your  life.
Make yourself happy,  Just give it a try,  Let yourself bathe in the light.  
bridge---  you've got to live until you die,  if you're gonna' play the game of life.
                Get on up and get it,  just  get on back in it,  and don't give up without a fight... 
In the dark of the night, don't give up the fight, You've got to struggle with all your might.
Your day will come, your time in the sun, just let yourself bathe in the light... 
chorus---
 

Great mix Frank. Really like the way this sounds. I enjoyed the slight Van Morrison sound to the vocals. I wish, however, that I could believe that my day will come. But, you are right, you gotta keep on keepin on. Well done.

Can I be Frank with you? You need to push the vox up a bit. They sound really good, but they're down in the mix. And the song is really about the words and the message. I thought it was beautiful, and a very nice sentiment, but push them up there a bit.

Yea, did sound van morrisonish - nice.

The vox could stand to be a bit more forward - it is fighting a little w/ all the guitar and other midrange.  Maybe some notch cut rather than vol.  And only on the verses, not the chorus which is repeated.

Overall a nice song and mix.  It works and is all well done.

Frank, This is really an awesome song and a great sound all around. Vox could come up just a bit. Nice production and everything fits together nicely. Great job on this. Enjoyed.

Peace be with you. Blessings, John

You had me from the intro! Great sounding mix!

Cool song nice mix, perhaps a tad on the main vocal, but that's a taste thing.

Thanks for sharing

Lovely song Frank, impeccably played and produced as always..except...those auto-tuned BGV's are nasty sounding and over-done, they really detract from a wonderful organic sounding track. Everything else is absolutely spot-on. Beautiful mando too btw, love that.

This is a beautiful song, Frank.  I agree the lead vox could come up, but just a little.  I don't hear any problems with the bv vocals.

Beautiful composition & great vocal delivery. Nice mix from here on this little system I am listening on. I like the lead/slide work too.
