ONE LIGHT

Liner Notes
This is #14, but I have one more to upload tomorrow. I think these last 2 are my best.
More importantly: I started a Forum Topic yesterday after I learned that there will be no 50/90 this summer. The topic is 'Possible solutions for the 50/90 "problem"', and you may have to look around for it since the moderators indicate they will no longer "bump it up". I'm the designated Bad Guy in the thread, because I'm concerned about 50/90 disappearing forever. So far, everyone else seems happy with taking a year off. Sigh... Feel free to weigh in there, if you can find the unbumped thread.
Lyrics
ONE LIGHT
Words & Music By Jerry Pettit Facebook.com/JerryPettitMusic
Verses fade to silence As the night grows long Will you hear my whisper? Or has the moment gone?
We dream of unity In a world torn apart One chance to make it right Before the new day starts
The road ahead is winding No map to guide our way But if we walk together We'll find a brighter day
Chorus: One hope, one light Shining through the dark One voice, one song To heal our broken hearts
Can we build a bridge Across this great divide? Will you take my hand And leave the past behind?
Chorus: One hope, one light Shining through the dark One voice, one song To heal our broken hearts

I love the hope and light exuded from all your songs. It seems you’ve stepped some things up this year, even if just a tad. It feels that way… Nice work!
Love the airy keyboards. They sparkle around so beautifully. The chorus is great and catchy, has that grand anthem-like feel to it! Also a really great hook to put it once more in the end, but more stripped-down.
Well what a beautiful lyric you've projected so perfectly here. Its so good to be out of my silent retreat and catching up. This really has so much to it. I adore the chord movements and the hooks are so so catchy. Truly a magical piece of work
Love the message here, and the wonderfully catchy and memorable delivery! That chorus is anthemic, and those are some tasty instrumental parts. Great and uplifting listen!
Really Good Poppy song with great hooks and production . Great Song .
You knock out melody after melody--truly a gift!! Lyrics are uplifting.
Beautiful positive song, Jerry. Please keep them coming. I love your happy and nostalgic songs. And u too will mii 50/90. Let's hope there will be a solution.
Another super song, Jerry, but that's no surprise. Everything in your song works well and leads to the chorus that positively soars.
And I'm another sad voice who will miss 5090, both the event and the friendships within.
this is a tremendous song. positive, uptempo...an anthem for us all as we face the void of a lost 50.90.
Awesome production. Has a bit of an 80s synth sound.
Oh I am always envious of people who can do more than record with just a guitar and a vocal. I like the uplifting lyrics of this. The musical uplift in the chorus reflects it perfectly. The bass and drums give it a nice "driving" feel. Good work!
What a beautiful message here. We can all use some hope and light these days. The chorus is so catchy. I think it will be in my head the rest of the day, which in turn will make my life happier. Thank you for this wonderful uplifting song.
