Not really a genre I'm too familiar with but I'm all for trying new stuff. Thanks to Cal and Henry for their part in this collaboration.
Thanks for listening.
Look At Us
Lyrics and lead vocals - Cal Rainwater
Electric guitars and Backing vocals - Henry Mittnacht
Music production and arrangement - Billy Playle
Do you remember when we first met
Your car hit mine when the light turn red
we pulled to the side and you were a mess
your coffee had spilled all over your new dress
you were running late and had tears in your eyes
and I just smiled when you apologized
what started off as a terrible day
turned out to be a great first date
That tiny apartment was our first home
We were the King and Queen of our pizza box thrones
I got laid off from my job, I called you from the bar
You had your friend pick me up in her daddy's car
You took me home that night and you said so sweet to me
Some things in life are just meant to be
And I got a call the on the very next day
A brand new job with lot more pay
Just look at us surviving the storms and fighting the dust
When hard times come when the winds start to blow and the waters are rough
It's not easy sometimes, but when it comes to push and shove
No matter the weather we'll stand together and always seem to rise above
Our youngest child just got a place of his own
Our three little babies are now full grown
You said to me with tears on your face
What do I do now with all this extra space?
You said I've always been mom and it's what I do best
How do I live with this empty nest?
Then I wrapped you up in my arms so tight
I said it's OK if we get loud tonight
Just look at us surviving the storms and fighting the dust
When hard times come when the winds start to blow and the waters get rough
It's not easy sometimes, but when it comes to push and shove
No matter the weather we'll stand together and always seem to rise above
Just look at us surrounded by so much love
I just got the call I'm gonna be a Grandpa
Just look at us surviving the storms and fighting the dust
When hard times come when the winds start to blow and the waters are rough
It's not easy sometimes, when it comes to push and shove
No matter the weather we'll stand together and always seem to rise above
Just Look At Us

this is fantastic.
rock-n-roll ain't pretty --- that's why they picked us to play it.

Thanks Billy for the opportunity to work on this one. The first moment I heard the music I thought it was beautiful. It was a different kind of song from beginning. At first I wasn't quite sure how this one was going to turn out. After seeing the way it unfolded I'm very happy with it. Henry as usual, you never seize to amaze me, great guitar work, and great B/U's. I'm looking forward to the next time!

Nice Guys !
Good story telling song, really nice production
We never finish a mix... we simply abandon them.

Thanks guys, Billy composed the music so well that writing lyrics to it was a challenge, I wanted the lyrics to be as good as the music.

Very, very nice, you guys!!
All the guitars sound great! And great vocals, Cal!
Now I know of two great songs called "Look at Us"... The other is from Vince Gill.

Billy, there is no genre that you cannot handle!
And, Cal, this is yet another fantastic country performance by you.
Henry's guitars are spot on, as usual.
Always looking for opportunities to
mix your songs

What a great story. Wonderful job with the genre, Billy. Love the lyric and vocals, Cal. And Henry, your guitar playing is always a pleasure to hear. Tremendous collaboration all around.
Honour the Earth. Without it, we'd be nowhere.
