ATTENTION ALL ARTISTS
Please give my \\\"Who We Are\\\" video a listen (best heard through headphones rather than cheap computer speakers.) If you think you would like to join in a \\\\\\\"We Are The World\\\\\\\" type collaboration on this song, please let me know. You would, of course, need to have some sort of recording program to participate (I use FL Studio 9 and it would be great of you did as well but not absolutely necessary. Hope to hear from some of you soon.

I\\\\\\\'m a Canadian, living in Lakefield,Ontario. I\\\'ve been composing music since I was a teenager but it\\\'s only in the last few years, following a 25 year hiatus, that I\\\'ve finally been writing again. I\\\'ve tried using Audacity and a formal recording studio to record my music. The recording studio idea got a bit too expansive and I\\\\\\\'m now trying to work with FL Studio 9. Music In My Heart was my first attempt at using FL9 and although I was relatively happy with it I\\\\\\\'ve since re-arranged and re-mixed it(I purposely made it into an instrumental to help me learn that very difficult program.) I prefer to consider myself as more of a composer than a performer. My greatest desire is to hear a professional artist performing my music.

All vocals by Maurice DAoust

All guitar tracks(except the background track on \\\\\\\"A Promise Kept\\\\\\\" which was played by \\\"yours truly\\\") were performed by Barry Haggarty.

WHO WE ARE

We all live our lives, the best way we can
We want to believe, in God’s higher plan
We try to make due with the cards we’ve been dealt
We all carry the scars from sorrows we’ve felt

We all have regrets for things that we’ve done
For those words we’ve said that hurt someone
We all have a fear of the unknown
Or of ending ours days all alone

CHORUS
I guess you and I aren’t so different after all
Language and customs may set us apart but at the core of it all
It’s our common humanity and sense of equality that unites us all
And defines who we are

We have all loved and been loved
We cherish our kids, they’re all gifts from above
We all have a need, a need to belong
We all try to forgive those who’ve done us wrong

To those in need we give what we can
Deep down we all care for our fellow man
In uncertain times, in a crisis or war
We all do our part - we’ve done that before

CHORUS

REFRAIN
With so much in common, more than we can ignore
Why should how we differ matter so much more
In you I see me
Look hard and you\\\\\\\'ll see
Yourself in all the people you meet

No matter what race, we all have a dream
No matter what faith, we all pray for peace
No matter what flag we may pay homage to
We all live in one world, me and you

CHORUS
I guess you and I aren’t so different after all
Language and customs may set us apart but at the core of it all
It’s our common humanity and sense of equality that unites us all
And defines, identifies, clearly states who we are[

I am using the instruments that came with Cubase. However, I think, the most real sounding instruments are those from East-West soundsonline (which I also use).
