[ilovemaniototo]

Great video. Carol x

[archtopbrownie]

Sorry I'm late getting to this reply. I appreciate your liking the songwriting. Need someone with an appropriate voice for this to sing it. Cheers.

[gluntford]

Damn cause I was just hanging out with Leo Dicaprio this afternoon and if I'd known about this I would have told him

[austinsplace]

Beautiful! *****5 Paws Up*****

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Austinplace.

[peaceandparty]

oh....you dont have to tell me.......i have always been environmental....and now i am just mental because we are truly going to need to get our survival kits out-----i am happy that you have done that song and probably other things also to help this lovely planet!so thx again-your song and the yummiest mummy song is the best so far!

[archtopbrownie]

I understand going from environmental to mental. This is the first generation that is going to give it all up without a fight... human rights, democracy, the environment.. the works. Sorry to be so negative but that's why I posed the question in the song. Thanks for your input.

[peaceandparty]

thx for the reply!

but keep optimistic!

all the strategies for setting up new laws for 2020 and beyond,are a little too late!

we have irreversibly not planned and not taken precautions for organising this world and also by not "spending money" on space exploration-because manmade climate change or not,we might need to evacuate--of course we know this commercialised world has made most of us feel greedy and selfish...future will be hard-losing lots of family members--our choice though!our choice!

[elichans]

Keep this thread alive people! and with every breaTHought AND stePeace!

you don't have to apologize Lance! if we are not all looking at the realities, both positive and negative, there is no way to be balanced and provide both the right questions and answers.

keep sharing this question people. its SAD, but true, and there IS something we ALL can do!

from japan, your brother, eLi G.

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks eLi G. There are good days and bad days. We'll do our best.

[peaceandparty]

well done........this is the only song i like out of the 10 responses up for the competition!....well done

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks. Hoping its message can get out there since the latest studies say things are happening faster than previously calculated.

[kiaweking]

What competition? What?

[dogermad]

i love this as it is one of the truthful song wrote. Amazing keep up the good work :):) maybe i will try and sing this song and post a repost for u to hear :)

[archtopbrownie]

That would be fine. I've written a song I can't do justice to in that someone else could sing it better than I can. I look forward to hearing your version. Thanks.

[AshleyMarlene]

It's a thought-provoking song...

Very good...we then would need

a song of hope and inspiration!

Do you have one of those? I

would love to sing it! (((HUGS)))

~Ashley Marlene ♥ღ ~

[archtopbrownie]

Not at my fingertips but let me dig into my archives and get back to you.

blessings

[archtopbrownie]

The question is always "How do you get your message into the hands of the right people?" Don't know the answer to that one. But would love it if you'd post "Butterflies" as a video response to this. Warm wishes.

[SuicideFriendly]

Hi Lance. Thanks again for replying to my "One Tin Soldier" video with this wonderful video and song.  It's an honor!

[archtopbrownie]

Aww. It weren't nothin'. Seriously, the honor is mine.

Sobering realization of the legacy that will be missing for all of our children and the people who will be inheriting a legacy that is fast disappearing. thank you for posting this

"T to N4Ever"

[archtopbrownie]

Don't mean to make you sad. We have to have a good day regardless, right?

[UpDownMostly]

Great song! Loved it. You done good! :)

[archtopbrownie]

Many thanks. One day at a time. One day at a time.

[girlonvideo]

You know!! I just had to post another comment! This really sounds a little Willie Nelsonish!! GReat Job!

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks girlonvideo. You're young, have a great voice. Go for it.

[girlonvideo]

BEAUTIFUL!! song and video ! I loved the kids drawings too !! so cute !! Genius Peace ~ GOV

[robass5]

cool vidddd

[archtopbrownie]

Glad you liked it robass5 - You have a future in the animation game for sure.

[dunlapgal]

Very well done.

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks to you goofy Mom. Don't miss a minute of your kids growing up... right?

[dunlapgal]

I sure try not too. If I won the lottery, I could certainly afford to quit working and be with them more. But we all have to do what we have to do, right?

[archtopbrownie]

Absolutely.

[Rhjannon]

your song is incredible!

[archtopbrownie]

Thank you poetry man.

[Riverman1971]

very nice. Im subscribed

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks for subscribing. Hope you like bluesy and jazzy things as well because I do a lot in that vein. Sometimes pretty, sometimes funky. We've all got many sides, eh?

[Riverman1971]

tried posting a video response, as i thought my latest had the same kind of message, but everytime i tried my pc crashed! youve not thrown some gremlins in the works have u? lol

[archtopbrownie]

I think youtube's server is real busy right now. Give it a rest and try again later. Would certainly love to see your offering. (maybe some major polluters are trying to shut us down)

[archtopbrownie]

Accepted your VR Rob. Thanks. I'm only accepting videos that reflect roughly the same message. Yours was strong in production and performance as well. Thanks

[Riverman1971]

much appreciated. glad you saw the message i was trying to convey.

[ParadiseEarth1]

Pretty song with critically important questions ***** S :)

[archtopbrownie]

Too many people around with all the right answers and not enough with the right questions. Glad you liked it ParadiseEarth1. Keep the faith.

[guitmartiman]

Great message! Thanks!

[archtopbrownie]

You betcha.

[TalkMusicBiz]

Wonderfullllllllllllllllllllll­lll

[archtopbrownie]

Thank youuuuuuuuu. And thanks for subscribing. Check out the long letter I sent you. I value your opinion. I've been at this a while. If some of these younger folks knew how tough a business this is they might just decide to keep the day job and play for fun. But with your help and guidance it makes it more managable. I'm sure I can speak for all of us when I say we appreciate it.

[jacky3708]

Great song!Nice work!5*

[SerenityFair]

Sweet.

[archtopbrownie]

Dee Dee - Visited your channel. If I ever get rich and famous, child abuse prevention would be the cause I would champion. As it is, I'll just do the best I can while not rich and not famous. Keep up the good work you are doing and thanks for the comment.

[SerenityFair]

You are welcome. Please feel free to leave a video response to my child abuse video...every voice and opinion against this abomination against children makes a difference. Thank you for looking at my page. Have a blessed day. Best of luck to you on rich and famous :)

[Christine66]

Nice video! - Thanks for sharing it with us!

[archtopbrownie]

You got it. My pleasure. Thanks.

Great work Lance on all levels! and soooo true. Awesome song with a very important message.. 5 and subbed. Thank you

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Paul. Right back atcha on the sub. Good quality work on your channel. Thanks for the support.

[REDNECKPEPI64]

new five!

[archtopbrownie]

Couldn't ask for more. Thanks.

[BlinDman72]

Excellent song, great lyrics and brilliant guitar. Your vocal style in this song is reminiscent of Johnny Cash in his later years (which is good imho) and adds sincerity to the song. Good job!

[archtopbrownie]

Every generation owes something to the next. Glad you agree. Thanks.

[ajdpadbury]

Greg sent me across via bulletin... Lovely song and lovely sentiments, really enjoyed the video! 5 stars:)

[archtopbrownie]

That's quite a channel you have there. Cute dogs too. Thanks to you and to Greg for making this stuff happen.

[ajdpadbury]

You are welcome buddy, keep up the good work!!:)

[Burch9]

Great song Lance, very true my friend, nice vocals too friend! 5 more dude!

[archtopbrownie]

Sure do like "Fool for Your Stockings". Thanks for the comment.

[uncledave10]

Very pretty . :o) 5

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Uncle Dave!

[logana13]

to be honest, on just reading the lyrics waiting for this to load, i wasn't 100% sure it was gonna be my thing, but the melody brings out the truth of the words + stops them sounding trite, which is badly neded as it's a message so often reitorated it's started to lose its meaning. gorgeous + great, excellent work.

[archtopbrownie]

From your comment you gave me a real in depth listening. I really appreciate it. There are universal truths that go back thousands of years and the job of the artist many times seems to be to breath new life into them. One of these is that one generation must live with an eye toward the next. I hope we haven't lost sight of that. Glad it worked for you. Thanks.

[CandiceJarrett]

Beautiful songwriting! *****

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks Candice. Positive strokes coming out of very talented people are always valued. Keep up your good work.

[Geo3033]

Your song is very pretty =]

[Ottawarocket]

Awesome song my friend!

Rocket

[archtopbrownie]

Rocket - I went to your channel. Knew instantly we'd get along great. Thanks for the comment. Glad you like it.

[elJammo]

Rock on Lance!

[archtopbrownie]

Hah! It's hardly a rockin' tune but I get your meaning and I'll do that.

[archtopbrownie]

I didn't realize it was you Tony until I went to your site. Now inform the nation about this. We're the only two activists in the family you know.

[HerecomesTheSun666]

cool

[edenmaze]

I'll let AL, LEO, MEL, and DEPOK, know all about it. :- )

5 stars!

[archtopbrownie]

Hah! There you go Buddy. Glad you're on a first name basis with all these guys. Thanks.

[edenmaze]

The only one I really have ever met is DEPOK CHOPRA.

He used my studio once.

[archtopbrownie]

Gee... it could be you were serious. Well, if you get it to him, I owe you one.

[silicious]

nice video!!

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks silicious. You're a very creative person. Checked out your channel. You have found your own unique voice in your work. I subscribed and recommend others check you out and do the same.

[uppercanuck]

Good job!

[archtopbrownie]

Thank you Sir.

[MichellePaulinodaSil]

what this song says is exactly what I think every time I open my mouh to sing.Thanks for sharing this song and video =)

[archtopbrownie]

Sing on Michelle! Sing on! .... and thanks.

[MichellePaulinodaSil]

Any chance you could send me this song (the instrumental) so I can sing it and post here on youtube?(that is, if you allow me to sing your song).

[archtopbrownie]

Sorry Michelle I am so swamped with the response to the song that I don't have time to provide an accompaniment track. Lots of people are asking to sing it in their stage acts and I certainly give them my blessing to do that. But I would like to keep myself as the main source for it on youtube for the time being. Sing it with my blessingand and get back to me in a couple of months. I'm sure you understand and thanks again for your interest.

[MichellePaulinodaSil]

yes,I do understand. That's fine.Have a great day and I'll check more of your videos later =)

[shawnlromarine]

Love it*******

[archtopbrownie]

[archtopbrownie]

Good suggestion on the lyrics. I'll put them up as soon as I can. Thanks to RonEffect from me too.

I didn't mean a change..Just my thought and feeling as I listened to your beautiful work..Just posing a question..Craig..

[archtopbrownie]

I understand Craig. Notice I have posted the lyrics in the description as you suggested. That is a very helpful improvement. Thanks.

[cdkkiss1952]

Good job..I am going to keep track of your channel..You have some very good things here..I love to read along..I should do it on my own stuff..But no one ever asks..I guess not very many people like to read..Keep up the good work..Craig.

[archtopbrownie]

I'm going to take some of my other videos like "Broken Down Poet" and make them better, add a lyric sheet and some additional accompaniment tracks. I want to go back and do that to quite a few of them and add some additional tunes as well. The response to this song is very encouraging. Will keep you posted.

[MichelZBlues]

Great song. Repeat that message again and again

[archtopbrownie]

Will do. Thanks MichelZBlues

Hey Darren, Thanks man. Visited your channel. Good stuff there. Let's share ideas etc. Subscribed so keep 'em coming.

[bulbheadmyass]

This is a beautiful song and a magnificent video. The lyrics are are wonderful and the graphics are perfect. This could definitely be a theme song for the environmental movement.

[archtopbrownie]

Wouldn't that be a dream come true. Thanks for the encouragement Bulbheadmyass.

[JJFRASERJJ]

Excellent Lance! Just excellent!!

[archtopbrownie]

High praise from an excellent musician. Taken to heart and appreciated.

[RankAndFileGuy]

Some people never learn, and it's the humanity that should be rectified, not nature itself.

Good song, appreciating your effort and work as a 'little' less expirienced fellow guitar lover.

[archtopbrownie]

I'm glad it connected with you. We're all working in the dark to an extent. Sometimes a little light comes in and it's fun to share with a receptive audience. Doin' the best we can with our limitations. Thanks for the support.

[IAmDevilDuck]

Beautiful, Lance. I'll send it out right away.

[archtopbrownie]

Thanks to a prolific writer in your own right.
