Love Is All There Is!
The Story behind the song!
https://youtu.be/orcq15Qgm8g
Some time ago, I was playing in a six-piece band with great singers and a sax player. That experience inspired me to write this song with a bit of a funky R&B feel. It started out as a guitar figure which I used for the introduction and then it grew into a full arrangement. The song was originally intended for the band to learn but they, especially the bass player, refused to do any original songs. We are all still friends, but at that point, my days with the band were numbered.
I took this song to Chris Gage, and we started working on it. We decided to add a saxophone to the process. Steve Berstein came into the studio to lay down his track. The introduction to the track is him rehearsing before the song started. It fits perfectly. By the time all the tracks and vocals were completed, it sounded just like I heard it in my head.
I wonder what it would have sounded like had the band decided to perform it. I guess we’ll never know.
Deep down, we all know that Love is the Answer. What's it going to take for humanity to understand that the expression of Love is our one and only mantra?
