Description Take A Look Around
Music by E.E. Fliess, III ©2008
Lyrics by Mark Holbrook ©2008
Lyrics "Take a Look Around" (Fliess/Holbrook)

Open your eyes, take a look around

When I feel like the world is crashing down
(open your eyes, take a look around)
When I let the little things bring me down
(open your eyes, take a look around)

Life is great
Life is great!

When I get so hung up in my life
(open your eyes, take a look around)
When I feel there is just too much not right
(open your eyes, take a look around)

Life is great
Life is great!

When the pressure pushes down on me
(open my eyes, take a look around)
When I need that welcome release
(open my eyes, take a look around)

Life is great
Life is great!


Open your eyes, take a look around
All the wonders waiting to be found
There is so much for you to see
Open your eyes, set your mind free



When you see all that you miss
(open your eyes, take a look around)
Your life will be filled with happiness
(open your eyes, take a look around)

Life is great
Life is great!

Open your eyes, and take a look around
Life is great
Open your eyes, take a look around

And the lyrics are uplifting and performed with real vitality and heart. This has an epic feel to it, and just a great vibe. Terrific stuff. Great collab. Kudos to you both, guys. Nicely done. Peace.

right then eddie
great track my friend .... a wee bit of pete townshend i think ... a very good thing. Mark ... kudos on the vox and lyrics. Incredible and fun tune ..... hats off folks !

apb said 65 days ago
I hear that ..

..Pete Townsend, The Who, "Baba O'Riley" (CSI NY) influence in some of the changes too.

Fine set of lyrics and well sung Mark... nice multi-tracking and use of effects.

Worthy!
Great collab friends!

Wow! What grrrrreat piano work!

Nice, upbeat lyrics.

I like everything about this piece my friends!

Rock on!

damiengh said 65 days ago
Uplifting
Loved the lyrics to this tune, resonates with me, for I had a pretty rough year and a half, but towards the end of it, I was pretty much coming to the conclusions you give us in this tune. So this one hit home for me.

Very uplifting.

Drew Kopr said 65 days ago
Interesting arrangement
I definitely heard some Who sounding music, which I completely dig. Very cool arrangement and lyrics. Fun tune!

kassia said 64 days ago

I like this track. Reminds me of the songs I heard growing up. A lost 60s pop gem.
