A positive message for anyone going through difficult times .
The human condition has its ups and downs but we can make it if we just believe in ourselves and just keep on going through the hard times and the good .
I just experimented with a resolving ascending and descending chord and melody structure which i thought might be reassuring , gentle and comforting and suit the lyrics and theme.
‘A song of hope ‘© Mark Di Marzio 4 Feb 2019
1.I once had a dream – I once had a cause
Now I cant remember what im living for
Aint that sad ?
2. I know one day – it'll all come back to me
The way it used to do
keep on keeping on
Through the days – though they may be long
It don’t matter – what gets you through the day
It don’t matter how you make your way
Just keep on – and a new day will dawn
4. You just gotta keep on man
You just gotta keep on going
Even though you cant stand
Cant stand
Then its time to sit down for a while
5. You can make it – one more day
You can go one more day
You can go down –
But don’t let it keep you down
You can go down for a while
But life keeps on going
We can make it if we try
and so can you !

lovely - I really like this, not like much I've heard for sometime. Well done. Your changes vocally against the piano are lovely.

How nicely played is this! Very cool. Only I miss your voice a bit here. What is your main instrument you play? piano, guitar? Or everything? 😁 Very powerful message you have here which is strengthend through the strong piano playing.. and these I do not know how it is called in English... when you play very fast with two fingers on two notes.. and you do this here, I love it. Wonderful player.

Lovely song - I agree with pumpkinhead: definitely a great McCartney feel!

The dreamy feel of this song is wonderful, the trill, the classical sound - then it makes a jazzy diversion and I was like “what? Yeah!” Very nice playing!

Such s great McCartney feel you've got there and I wish as @woolford that I could hear yor voice a little better, it deserves it I'm sure.
I also love to hear a real piano and I wish I had one like that myself.
Nice melancholy yet positive vibe asking for a better day. Wonderful. Peace bro'.

Oh man, I wish I could hear your vocal a little more. I think I love your voice, but it’s hard to tell 😀
The chords are great- I like what you’ve done with the ascending and descending- you’re right- it fits the mood beautifully. And that funky boogie-woogie passage after verse 4 is a lovely breath of air.
Love the positivity of this.
Thank you for sharing.
