A song about finding hope, inspiration and positivity in a world of corruption, cynicism and trolls...
Remind you guys of anything???

Totally agreed, really cool community building!

Very cool you two! Awesome banjo, and a lovely song.

Thanks my friend! Can't wait to do a virtual trio sometime soon @danieldyemusic! :)

Im in!

Haha, ok! Just let me know when and we can maybe try it on Zoom @danieldyemusic @benleemusic?

Love the melody, the lyrics are definitely relevant and seeing the Doc Himself @drkent is always a pleasure.

This was just what I needed to start off my Friday on a positive note here at the office.
Cheers man and good luck in the Open Mic!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yup, this one's playing on repeat, listened to it 5 times in a row now :D

This was a blast @benleemusic! Love the lyrics to this tune. More than apropos for the times we are living in!

Great song, bro! And I am loving these collaborations you are doing! Brings the creative community closer, more connected and to higher levels...
🙏🏽💚🌟

You're next! Lets plan something together

When and where?? I want to see that collaboration for sure!

That sounds like the craic! As my Irish mates would say. Let's do it! 😄

Wow wonderful music post very beautiful post

Thank you.

Great! Yep, that's the world we live in huh? A little inspiration goes a long way. Nice message mate.

Cool song @benlee.

Much appreciated!

Good to see you diligently pumping out new content!

Your hard work shows, but it's definitely a plus when we're doing something we love :D I can clearly see love in what you're doing, and your reputation increase reveals that.

Keep up the good work Ben Lee!

Appreciated.

Brilliant song, Ben! Wonderfully written and a rather entertaining collaborative performance by you and the doc! Nice, gentlemen!

Thanks mate

Love this :)
Love the whole Steemit open mic idea too, just discovered these :)

Its a great vibe!

Really diggin' the good vibes. I'm stoked to have heard about you from a friend here on Steemit, cause this is my kind of style of tunes. Keep jamming my man!

Thanks!

Nah.. thank you man! And I thank @choogirl for telling me about you for sure. I know her from her work at Steemitworldmap mainly because I like to do hiking travel posts and I share them on the map. But I'm also really into music and occasionally do Steemit open mic (I add those to the map too, lol). And she had mentioned you to me and I'm so glad she did. I've been going though more of your songs and I love it man. You remind me of some of my favorites guys like Jack Johnson, Sean Hayes, Mason Jennings, Josh Ritter... a bit more pop'y, but I really dig it. Liked all the songs so far, really thought "We're all in this together" was especially good. ... Honestly as I keep listening it's quite a variety of sounds and ALL so good. I'm going through your stuff on my jukebox in Discord right now and "commenting as I go", lol ...(In case you didn't realize that already)... anywho... you got a new fan here!! And If you're coming to the L.A. Steemit meetup I'll probably see you there!

Not sure Ill be able to make it after all - setting up 2 friends on a blind date that night and my wife and I are double dating. Sean Hayes! Havent heard that name in a while. WE did some gigs together years ago. Alabama Chicken :)

Dang.. that's so cool you got to play with Sean Hayes. Alabama Chicken..oldschool. That's before I had even heard Sean Hayes. I first heard him on 'Big Black Hole little baby star'. He's got such a cool style. ...btw all of a sudden I just had to check @seanhayes on steemit and... it's not that Sean Hayes... dang! Had to check though. lol.

So duets from now on?

Nothing is permanent. Thats the fun of the adventure.

Wow.. Amazyng music

This was awesome guys, great vocals and jam sesh! #MASHUP
