Can Anyone See
J.C. Ashbaker (c)2006
909-793-0245

Can anyone see
Can anyone be so blinded
Does anyone see what's coming around

Does anyone know
Can anyone show you how to
Leave your head in the clouds and walk on the ground

--Refrain--
They read it in a book and then they
Watch it on TV
Everybody's looking, baby but,
Can anyone see
---------------------------------------

Does anyone care
Does anyone share a feeling
Does anyone look like they've seen a sign

Will anyone live
To open up their heart and give
Does, anyone here know how to be kind

--Refrain--
There are just too many churches and they
All can't set you free
Everybody's searching baby, but
Can anyone see
---------------

Does anyone hear
All the hatred, all the fear
You're not always right, but you're never all wrong

So why can't we all learn
To show our cheeks, but let them turn, yeah
There must be a way to just get along

--Refrain--
I've heard a lot of talking
But I see more apathy
Everybody's gawking, baby but,
Can anyone see

Wowy Wow Wow! Wonder if your tired of touring the world yet!

Great song....story telling at its best...I love when a song gets to the point and makes you stop and think...maybe just maybe it will make a person stop and think...it did me, had to go back and listen again...nice ride always....

This is a straight ahead country song with a message

I love the sound of the vocals and the sound of the drums and the bass guitar as they interact together, I also think the lead guitar has a good sound. Sounds a little like Charlie Pride.

A real nice hook and a driving feel.
"I've heard a lot of talking
But I see more apathy
Everybody's gawking, baby but,
Can anyone see"
I think that was the best line of the song...rhyming with "gawking" without the word choking the meter was great.

Beautiful Folk based tune! Very enjoyable and the melody is very strong in both Verse and the chorus. Well balanced production with strong vocals.

Good solid song, great arrangement, vocals are good

Great chorus. This song had my toe tapping from the outset. The lead guitar work in conjunction with the fiddle is spectacular. I thought the snare was a little high, and thematically juxtaposed. I think this song would do better with simpler percussion that highlights the terrific melody and extremely tight composition. The bass was right on, adding a lot with out being invasive. I would look at the song writing licensing opportunities. I could see this being a New Country song.

Great instrumentation and both lead and backing vocals!!

Such beautiful instrumentation - and your vocals are perfect. Can Anyone See? - great hook. So many churches - yes! I agree!
That fiddle is great!!!

lively song, nice guitarwork and fiddle. enjoyed it

Catchy melody. Bright and breezy feel. Some lovely guitar work..has Mark Knopfler been moonlighting?

I like the message and the intent and I think it is very well written and performed.

Great vocals! Hook is something I could easily sing along with. Nice, easy flow to the music while being interesting and upbeat at the same time. Excellent musicianship!

Perfect song - excellent performance, a great pace - it doesn't let you down at any stage - I really enjoyed this, well done.
