I composed a song for a friend's movie project. It was just guitar, bass, and drum loops. Later on I asked Norm Harris (percussion) and Kimmo Männikkö (drum kit)to do their thing, and I added horns and piano.

Seagull acoustic, Fender Mustang, Roland GR-20 M-Audio 88es and lots of percussion.  Sonar 8.5, Cakewalk's True Piano - sonitus effects and Vocal Strip V-64

Just wanted to say that this could fit into some movie, and noticed that it is already
Very good, but needs some more thorough mixing, though I can't say in particular, so it's not a picking
Maybe Norm's percussions could be stereoized more?

Tuh.. This one is just too easy to listen to.

Should we call it "Mainstream Pop" then? It is good nevertheless

Thanks for the listen and comments

Well - the intent - and the challenge actually - was to write something happy and mainstream which is not something I normally do. That is something my wife wishes I'd do more of actually :-)

The request was to come up with something happy like "all together now" by the Beatles. Of course this one sounds nothing like that song but still has a happy mood.

This song didn't make it into the movie actually - there was a second even happier one that did.

this is the one that made the cut and is happier yet.

And actually was used in this format - just better drums.

And this literally put a smile on my face
