Liner Notes

This piece was simply enjoyable to play, with the lyrics being secondary. Looking back, it’s a bit preachy, but whatever.

My style is defined by single-mic, one-take recordings with a handful of added layers.

Lyrics

It doesn’t come easy finding luck yourself It’s not that simple Do not wait for someone else

You’ve got to move first Take it step by step No guarantees but nothing comes from nothing yet

It’s the little things that count Luck comes in small amounts

Don’t think dollars Don’t think fame It’s not a goal It’s not a game

It takes some effort to let something grow A bit of patience before it starts to show

Learn the right skills Keep a willing mind Everyday life hides the fortune you can find

It’s the little things that count Luck comes in small amounts

Don’t think dollars Don’t think fame It’s not a goal It’s not a game Not the win But how you play Not what you get But what you make

Yes it does. And if you find it and welcome it in small amounts, they tend to grow into bigger amounts... that's what I've found anyhow.

Great song, and so impressive to get such a great vocal take while playing.

@charliecheney 2d

Wow! So wonderfully upbeat and up tempo. I really like the message in the chorus. Super fun.

True words, I don't think it's preachy. Maybe I have a thick skin? Preach bruh! If I thought in dollars, I'd be depressed lol Great song, I appreciate it!

Wise words, Max, and delivered with your characteristic style, energy and all wrapped in another catchy melody arriving at the listener via foot-tapping rythm. As @songbird63 said... uplifting!
