Song: We Are One
Reviewer: Kate Carpenter
Positive Comments: I love a good patriotic song and this one has top ranking in my book! I loved the great piano arrangement and the heartfelt performance of the song. You could tell the vocalist really meant what he was singing. I love the emphasis on the fact that we have more in common than we think and that’s what we should focus on. I really like the chorus – it was familiar (Statue of Liberty, stars and stripes flying free) but the way it was put together sounded original and fresh. Love the melting pot/one nation under God. Bridge is also well written. I don’t see any reason why this song should not have some degree of commercial success, but even more than that, I hope it inspires unity and diffuses some of the insanity as described in the first verse. Loved the separate/hate rhyme. Some really great lyrics!
Constructive Comments: Please post the lyrics to your song. The vocal seemed a bit strained at times, but not enough to make me cringe. One thing that I think would really enhance this song would be the addition of a female vocal, at least on the chorus, some harmony or something to soften it up a bit, take the edge of that male vocal. On verse two, what does “we thank you” rhyme with? I wish you every success with this song. I really like it!
