Story behind the song
Recently scanned the Washington Post online and read the headline (concerning the first presidential steps of President Obama) "Is he ready for the real deal?" So here was a new song......
Lyrics
Ready for the real deal Seems like a lifetime since I first saw your face When i discovered a life to embrace You opened my eyes from the start Im still weak when were apart Seems like yesterday we fell in love When the stars twinkled up above Which they do to this day In our own special way If youre ready for the real deal Its just one step ahead Are you ready for the real deal Its in your heart and not your head If youre ready for the real deal Its in your heart and not your head We got to be free and equal and sister and brother Life means to be a lover and a father This will always be true Deep inside I never knew Til I met you with your firm conviction That Life is real but never fiction When you reach for the stars you are skybound Makes you feel like you've been lifted from the ground If youre ready for the real deal Its just one step ahead Are you ready for the real deal Its in your heart and not your head If youre ready for the real deal Its in your heart and not your head If youre ready for the real deal Its just one step ahead Are you ready for the real deal Its in your heart and not your head If youre ready for the real deal Its in your heart and not your head

Hey Andreas... This is a top tune! I don't know how I missed this one when you released it...but I'm glad I finally got a chance to listen. I love the open airy feel of this...and the bass from lee and guitar work by Mike is great. As always the vocals and lyrics are top notch...and have an important message. Great stuff, my friend! (Send along my best wishes to Silke, too!) Hugs...Mike (NAV)

Cool track, obviously a great bunch of musicians (with a great recording studio)! Seems the singer is from the same City as me too, although I must admit I’ve never seen him around the circuit!

Love the intro on this, very clean and inviting. Can't say much more than allready's been said, this kind of music carries a large net! Just great, highly recommended.

This is some impressive stuff. An all-star international lineup comes together for a super smooth tune. Any musician who hears this has to marvel at the individual musicians who contributed to this. Every little note is something agreeable, and it comes from such talented hands that the artists involved maintain this masquerade, making it sound so easy, so natural. We know better, a track like this is not easy to make. The brilliant aspect of this is two-fold. First, no one is dying to steal the spotlight, no ego gets in the way, no one trips over anyone else’s sound. The second is that the tones each player chose fits and mixes so well together that it makes this a perfect recipe for FM airwaves. And what a smooth rich mix it is. You just gotta hear it to believe it. Probably some serious microphones in there and some serious production talent to capture the deliriously serious musical talent. It could be about two people who are convinced to cement a relationship. I want to

Hi :) This "Ready for the real deal" tune is a really nice collab project. The overall flow is really good. The fretless bass adds a cool dimension to it too, and everything and everybody blends well. Be very proud of this one, yall have accomplished one of the best things that happens on this site, which are the collabs between 2 or more people. Take care my friend, Vic (Spud)

Great work folks. Fretless bass is really standing out. Has some jazz overtones and very contemporary sounding. I guess I hear a lot more harmony opportunities but that is my problem. LOL! Great song folks. Some of the harmony parts I would like to hear more up in the mix. Thanks for inviting me for a real treasure.

Hi Andreas, came by to listen.. the common comment.. great song, tight sound, catchy melody. The more detailed comment.. on first impression.. I think the vocals could come more up in the mix, great vocal work but they sound a little back there, the fretless bass works great but kinda over does it where vocals are, could be because it was played before vocals were added? kinda gets a little muddy there in the mix. I agree with Carlos that the guitar adds some 70's Clapton feeling there but the vocals really reminds me of Frank Zappa so it's a great blend of styles. Congratulations on a good job! Take care, Svenni
