Sing Out, Let it Be Heard - Original Song by RHopen

[AnneLandonMusic]

You've been a busy bee Ron, haven't you lol ;) I'm gonna get around and listen thru all of your new songs, but I figured I had to start somewhere. The title of this song instantly spoke to me right now, as I have been whispering on the top of my lungs for a long time. "Sing out, let it be heared". Such a powerful line, Ron. These lyrics found me on a personal level, as well as I enjoyed the feeling of it, It's light as a cloud, lovely vocals, beautiful rich tone in your guitar. A true original!

[fngrpkn06]

Great song, really enjoyed the uplifting spirit.

[junno111]

yes , yes sing out let it be heard, that was great, thank you for sharing your music.......cheers

[RIchardEPfeifer]

Another great tune from the lost generatiom...great playing!

[sistermoonshine13]

OMG Ron this is sooooo AMAZING!!!!! WOOOOOOOOWWWWW

[UncleUsurp]

Right now,this is my all time favourite song.Holy shit Ron,the lyrics the tune everything! You have such a beautiful vibe coming through you.Awesome Ron!

[cbrb40]

Ron that was great! Your songs have this feel like old firends,like the old songs have. Love your sense of melody in a song. The vocal line is so melodic with the sweet chords you use. The music is wonderful and makes you smile and feel happy. and the lyrics? fabulous,very uplifting,gives me a hope. :) I really love what you do my buddy and the way you sing and play,not many in your league. I gotta start listening to your tunes more now they're so beautifully written. :)))

[reliablebow]

lovely song Ron.....yes, like children they are;)

[mettanc]

ok, not sure if u have heard this one yet, but i hear this as in "a musical tune". u know some of the best songs r from musicals, or they use to be and they were brought to the general public and became great pop songs or the standards we know today. well crafted song!.

[Cameragirl803]

I love coming back to this song, again and again. Written, produced, and performed so well. It really gives all of us song writers out there such inspiration. Bravo and Bowing to one of the best talents I know!! You amaze me my friend:)

[ukorganist]

Hi Ron, very enjoyable track - lovely playing. Best, Carl

[kiaweking]

Beautiful message here. I love the sound of the open tuning. I've always had a special place in my heart for the archtop.

aloha from Hawaii,

Thomas

[rhopen]

@kiaweking Thanks a lot Thomas, and I love the archtop too. This is the first one I've ever owned and I will never let it go. Thanks, -Ron

[rhopen]

@Cameragirl803 Hey Jane, I like the idea of us collaborating on our originals sometime, that would be a lot of fun. You are a great writer too you know. Talk again soon Jane, and Elvis has been seen in the tater patch but he will be back soon :o) -Ron

Wow, what a wonderful song, lyrics and performance Ron! I really enjoyed it! Favorited it too! :)

[karlmahlmann]

Hey Ron. This is really bold and wonderful. In my head, I hear it as part of a musical or theater production. I can hear Julie Andrews singing this to the Banks children or the von Trapp family. Very, very uplifting and positive -exactly what the world needs now. Always, great to hear your new music,Ron This one's a pearl. - Karl

[rhopen]

@karlmahlmann Hi Karl, and I must say having Julie Andrews do this would be quite interesting to hear :o) Thanks for your good words and I'm looking forward to your next upload. -Ron

Dave

[rhopen]

@dholeton Hi Dave, and yea I used to love to read the lyrics on the album covers as well. That is one thing I really do miss about the old days, the album covers were often works of art themselves. Thanks and I'll be talking to you. -Ron

Wonderful, Ron - what a beautiful and inspirational song. It has a lovely spirit. And really enjoyed your guitar arrangement to go along with it. You're very good on that guitar (I'm trying to learn to pick up & down like that with a pick - not easy!). Enjoyed your singing & everything about this song - bravo! 8o)

[rhopen]

@ImOfTheWoods Hi Sylvia, thank you... and you know I very seldom use a pick when I play acoustic guitar :o) I use my forefinger for strumming (I hold it against my thumb for support). Thanks again Sylvia and I will be over to hear your new upload very soon. -Ron

[CurtisMateer]

No comment again? Ah, hear it is again -

"Aww, if the hassle setting up and packing up again at the end to keep bums on seats so they buy grog paid more I'd probably make the effort. But then I'd be expected to intersperse covers of Stairway To Heaven and The Gambler in between originals, wouldn't I?

A subtle melody Ron and definitely good enough to perform live. This gig was good enough for me to hear though, in the comfort of my own home as well. Most enjoyable, thanks. See you again soon.

[rhopen]

@CurtisMateer Hey Pete, I hear you regarding the serious trade offs you would have to make as a performing artist.... But still I think you are head and shoulders above most of what I hear out there. But at least we get to hear your work here on this little stage of light, and that is a good thing indeed. I hope you are well and I will talk to you again soon. -Ron

[justcallmethelma]

[FrankRMusic]

Hi Ron, this is another great song you wrote. And I love the lyrics in this one.

"The truth is you are just as good but you don't seem to know", haha, that´s it! And you told us what to do:"Step out of the wings onto the stage where you should be".

I say to all the young one´s "switch off the PC, and go out and play", "sing out loud".

Frank

[rhopen]

@FrankRMusic Hey Frank, yes young people need to get out there more and sing and play, and you are a fine role model for them too. Thanks Frank and I will talk with you again soon. -Ron

[rhopen]

@jugnutgut Hi Rob, thanks and have a great Summer. -Ron

You know that guitar pretty well Ron, up and down the neck so smoothly. Excellent progression to follow such sweet lyrics. I would say it is a great kick off to the summer season. Think I will give it another go.....thanks pal.

[rhopen]

@PatrickGMoran Hey Pat, much thanks and I am looking forward to your next one. -Ron

@KasugaD400 Hello and thanks very much to you. -Ron

[stufish4040]

What a beautiful, uplifting song ;] I think it would also work well in a piece of Musical Theatre - it has that well-defined sense of a character telling a story. The guitar has a great tone & you play with such precision & gusto. Love it !

[rhopen]

@stufish4040 Thank you Stu. That guitar is a Godin Archtop. Archtops have very different qualities from "round hole" guitars. It has a more "woody" sound to it. Thanks for stopping by Stu. -Ron

[duckscli]

This is really your best original to date. I love everything about it, lyrics I can fully relate to, a fantastic melody and beautiful instrumentation. Seriously good stuff my friend.
