This is a bit of happy serendipity that came about as I was working on something that turned out to be taking much longer. Mic work is a bit rougher than usual, plenty of room and boom noise, but I didn’t want to redo the performance.

The mix preview tramples that noise right down; feel free to do the same. MIDI file channels are mapped to my studio setup so start high: Lead(8), Rhythm(9), Bass(10), Keyboard(11), and Drums(12). Uncharacteristically straight-ahead 136 bpm.

Let the Walls Come Down
Lyrics (cc)BY D A Ayer 2023-01-31

Let in the hope. Pour out the love
from down below or up above.
No need to worry where it’s from.
It doesn’t matter, just get you some.
Let in the hope. Pour out the love
and let the walls come down.

Let in the hope and spread the joy
to every girl and every boy
and those who don’t use “him” or “her”:
y’all make us stronger than we were.
Let in the hope and spread the joy…
Let the walls come down.

There’s no place left in this world for hate.
When you see it coming, don’t hesitate
or run away. Just turn around,
open your arms and squeeze it down
until it has no chance to escape again.
Then let the walls come down.

Let in the hope. Pour out the love
from down below or up above.
No need to worry where it’s from.
It doesn’t matter, just get you some.
Let in the hope. Pour out the love
and let the walls come down.
