It’s ironic but the recording of my song No More Compromises was created with many compromises. I had previously recorded many of the tracks at home on an 8 track ADAT with a click.
I let this home demo collect dust for many years, then in 2008 I transferred the tracks over to Rob Begg`s computers at Marpole Studios where I redid the vocals & a few other parts.
I played & sang all the parts, except I brought in Kelly Stodola to do the drums. As you can hear on the song his performance was awesome! Rob did a great job engineering & mastering.
Got some good reviews in the following years:
Billboard World Song Contest (2009)
No More Compromises - “Good lyrical meter and structure, good changes throughout. - has potential for stronger appeal.”
Great American Song Contest (2009)
No More Compromises – “Very Cool…This is a solid track with much potential”.
"Song of the Year" Songwriting Contest (2015) awarded Terry M the Semi-Finalist placement for his song "No More Compromises".
Until now, other than these contests & a few online placements, this song hasn`t had much exposure. So now in 2020 (during Covid) I put together a homemade lyric video. I used the free program that came with Windows 10.
It had a few drawbacks as the program is glitchy and is no longer supported.
Rather than just have lyrics I added pictures to go with the words & music.
I found some old pictures of myself dating back to the time of my writing & recording this song. There`s a couple newer pics, but most of my photos are from 2006 - 2009.
I also added some of my nature pics I took.(sky,rainbows,etc.) And a few free pics from the internet. Hope you enjoy the song & lyric video!
Thanks all for your interest & support!
