Once in a While

Once in a while people come together
Once in a while it seems to work out
And every now and then it lasts forever
You and me is what I'm thinking about
Oh yeah, alright

---Refrain---
Like the sun and the moon up above
Our love will be sustaining and proclaiming
What fate will have to agree, was just meant to be
---------
---Instrument Verse Break---

Once in a while it gets a little crazy
Once in a while you offer up my reward
And every now then it's all so amazing
To share this love with you and be so adored
Oh yeah, alright

---Refrain---
In a world full of thunder and rain
Our love was meant for shinning on silver linings
For everyone to see, how sweet love can be
---
---Bridge---
And when it's all said and done
We'll have shared lots of fun
Regrets will be next to none
Except dying, oh yeah dying
---
Once in a while spirits come together
Once in a while it seems to work out
And every now and then it lasts forever
Forever is just a turnabout for love
Forever, Forever, Forever, Forever, for love

My love, your love, one love

Really well sung and well played piece with a very happy upbeat theme. Really good guitar work. Parts of it put me to mind a little of Jim Croce.

Great song! I liked the beat and melody, catchy yet interesting with nice changes. I also liked the rhymes using more complex words, not just simple, one syllable rhymes. Sounded professionally done and performed like a pro

great recording. big, broad, well done. great vox harms. well mixed in violins...they can get abrasive if done poorly. well written movements. well recorded acoustic guitar (that can be tough). has a neat feel that makes me happy. i like the female vox in the harms. this is great!

Good production. Really nice musicianship.
The parts of the song are really good. I have some notes below on arrangement.
Also think this could be a nice duet if tweaked.
Thanks for sharing your music.



I like a lot the song. Great singing. And the arrangement is almost perfect. If this is a modern country music I like it. The female voice in the second half is a pleasant surprise too.
And the fiddle is wicked. It's a good demo in every aspect.

Fast moving happy song with a great fiddle filling in the gaps. Casual singer is real and sincere...were it not for the synthetic drums I would've thought this was a first take live production. Fun stuff.

recording is good, vocal sounds beautiful and rich. instrumentation is very smooth. Harmonies are tight and spot on. well done.

nice music

It's uplifting and keeps rolling throughout the song. The subtle harmonies are excellent and vocal control is good. The violin/viola (couldn't tell which) add a nice texture and the guitaring is competent. There is an americana feel and I detected 80's influences too. I liked it, I listened three times. The instrumental in the introduction could have been a bit longer.

plesant listening, nice fiddle and guitar instrumental, well constructed song.

you sound like you have a great time recording this..huge smile on your faces

I like the lyrics very much, and I would love the song if it were not for the percussion. The conventional beat, to me, makes an otherwise sweet love song too monotonous. If it were not for the beat I'd give all Excellent.

You gave me the feel of country folk, nice mix of instruments, liked the female back up vocal. Liked how you could take your voice down deep in spots vocals very strong and very clear

The song has a fun beat and sounds like a song you would hear on a country station.

Good work here.......really nice track.......kind of feel good feeling to this song.......good harmonies.....
