Song information
My friends, I was never fully satisfied with how the original posting of this song turned out.

I have corrected an egregious mistake I made with Steve's excellent drum track, and done a general remix.

The original post was mixed and mastered by Tom Hellstens, who did the very best he could with the stems I sent him.

Problem was, not only did I mess up Steve's drum track, but I had horribly over-compressed the stems for the vocals,
especially the two lead vocals by myself and Dan Knudsen.

Anyway, I recently fixed those issues, and then did a total remix and remaster.

Hopefully now it sounds like it should have to begin with!

Special thanks to Steve Scaustrita for his help with the mixing!

Micheal Wark=Music, lyrics, and vocal.
Dan Knudsen=Music and vocal.
Scott Carmichael=Piano and bass guitar.
Bob Sperber=Slide lead guitar.
Steve Scaustrita=Live drums.

Heartfelt thanks goes out to all the iBandstand Happy Hour Caterwaulers for that rousing final Chorus!

Lyrics
A SONG FOR EVERYONE

Chorus:
(Mike & Dan)
This is a song for everyone, under the sun;
---a song for when you're feelin' blue, or out havin' fun.
---for whilin' away the hours, in your dreary day.
This is a song for everyone,
so let it play...

I
(Mike)
Some days ya eat the bear, somedays it eats you!
Can't get a leg up, no matter what you do.
Don't let it get you down, when things turn out wrong.
Puff out your chest, burst into song...

Chorus:
(Mike & Dan)
This is a song for everyone, under the sun;
---a song for when you're feelin' blue, or out havin' fun.
---for whiling away the hours, in your dreary day.
This is a song for everyone,
so let it play...

II
(Dan)
The road of life is full of twists and turns.
Can't tell which path to take, which path to spurn.
When every choice before you seems double-pronged,
Take a step back, burst into song...

Chorus:
(Mike & Dan)
This is a song for everyone, under the sun;
---a song for when you're feelin' blue, or out havin' fun.
---for whilin' away the hours, in your dreary day.
This is a song for everyone,
so let it play...

III
(Mike)
All things considered, it's quite plain to see;
(Dan)
we're not alone in life's menagerie.
(Mike)
When hard times come, they won't seem so long;
(Mike & Dan)
if we band together, and sing a song:

Final Chorus:
(iBandstand Happy Hour Caterwaulers)
This is a song for everyone, under the sun;
---a song for when you're feelin' blue, or out havin' fun.
---for whiling away the hours, in your dreary day.
This is a song for everyone,
so let it play...

(Mike & Dan)
This is a song for everyone,
so let it play...

Hot diggety !  A song for everyone. I love it ! After the first verse , I was crying in my beer. By the end of the 2nd verse , I was grinning and realized I was drinking coffee. By the 3rd verse, I was singing along with "A Song for Everyone"  and let it play.

Thanks Ray. When I sent the original stems to Toveco they weren't really ready. I had done a rush job because I was hugely pressed for time. I'm back to not working again and so I don't have to hurry anymore.
Anyway, I'm glad to give this one a sonic facelift. It deserved better treatment than I gave it the first time out.
Thanks again for joining in bro!

Glad to get that drum track fixed!
Thanks again for doing a remix. After your critique of the vocals I just had to go back in and do some repair work.
I took your remix into consideration when I did mine. It really was helpful!

Strange how a song like this could grow from my son Jake mocking a country tune we heard on the radio while driving to work. He spontaneously belted out the words and melody "This is a song for everyone...." We laughed, and that would have been the end of it; but the melody stuck in my head, and I found myself writings lyrics throughout the rest of the work day...
Life is funny sometimes, eh bro?
