Story behind the song
I sent this instrumental backer to Bob and he wrote lyrics, sang all of the vocals and added more intrumentation.
Lyrics
Getting the feeling of despair, When everything around seems to crumble to the ground. Where can I possibly turn, It seems everywhere I stumble. I'm a survivor That's lived through good and bad. I've been on the edge enough, Listen to all I've had. I'm a survivor Bringing hope into this world. If you hold on to the strength It will all come together. And now that I'm looking on the bright side, Life has taken a complete turnaround. I'm holding my chin up, never taking things for granted, And making sure to keep my mind sound. I'm a survivor That's lived through good and bad. I've been on the edge enough, Listen to all I've had. I'm a survivor Bringing hope into this world. If you hold on to the strength It will all come together. Copyright © 2015; Bob Forbes

It came all together just as good as expected... congrats, Mike and Bobo, on this catchy good rock song! Beautiful touch of 70's legends like Crosby, Stills and Nash. Fabulous arrangement and drum work either!

Really nice feel and melody in your backing track Mike! It has such a live performance feel to it all the way through. Bob did a great job adding the lyrics and vocals (that is something that is not always easy to do with music already set) The whole song has a great feel to it! Big applause to both of you on this fine collaboration!

Powerful song, both in volume and sentiment! You guys blend perfectly together. Bob, very impressed by your versatility, you sound very different in this song vocally and in style. Mike, this should be your signature tune - you're a survivor and a great musician.
