I kept this track simple didn't add a lot of effects, just kept it going with 4 phase changes. I might take it down soon to work on it some more.

Well I did try and get an RPM challenge done after last years fail, but I'm still lacking enthusiasm or creativity.
Hence the uninspiring title of 'The Fifth', as this was the 5th track I was working on and the only one that came close to completion…

Steve developed this beautiful track with his ukulele and Colleen added some lyrics to make a “positive message” song for the times we are in…. Hope it makes you smile too…
