Right With The World

Sometimes it's pretty easy to focus on the negative things that go on day-to-day in our world. So much so that we tend to forget that there really are many things that are good in the world, too. Focusing on the positive things is something we really need to stress for our youth. Yes, there are many things to be worked on and solved, but sometimes we just need to take stock in and appreciate the things that are just plain good. This song aims to do just that. Perhaps while rehearsing this song, you and your singers could have a conversation about things that make them smile, laugh, or feel happy. Once in awhile it's good to think about and point out such things. There will always be situations that need serious thought, but there will also always be things that are right with the world.

This positive, upbeat tune features a great rhythm section and strings. Your performers will probably feel the urge to move around to the beat, which you should totally encourage. This would be a great song to project the lyrics during a performance and ask your audience to sing along. You could also add claps on the offbeats throughout.

Beginning at measure 21 there is an optional second vocal part. You don't have to include it, but it adds a little fun to the song and challenge for your singers. On our web site, you will find an isolated part 2 rehearsal track that will help them learn the part.
