Dan, you are one of the best gospel singers around.
You always pick the best backing bands to support you resurrected vocals.
God gave you a ton of talent!
Loved it.

Dan,

Absolutely gorgeous! Whoah.

Splendid from beginning to end.

It is funny how we are writing about the same stuff, in a way, but it is so...mmmm...different!

I guess Jesus loves all his little hard-headed children.

Happy Easter!!!

Wow sounds great, on every level. The songs lyrics are excellent, uplifting, and inspiring. The vocal, and performance is great. And the production, mix, tone spot on. This could be a Christian Contemporary Hit.

Hi firesong,

Lovely, gentle melody. The work on the dubbed voice is well done. Your voice is superb but I already told you that. Beautiful orchestration. It's pleasant. I appreciated.

Jani.

Sounds great as usual, Dan.
Your vocal is sincere. You were made for this genre.

As others have said, "gorgeous" really is the best word to describe what you've written.
This is really, really, beautiful Dan!

Wow, Dan! Just...wow. Great write, expertly performed. Those modulations serve the song perfectly, and lift the song without sounding forced. The whole arrangement is exquisite. Well, I'm exhausted. That was NICE!!

Hi, Dan.

As others have said - beautiful! smile

You can modulate down? Now you tell me! wink

David...it's just three steps forward and one giant step back to the original key...I call that a modulation down...thanks for your thoughts...Dan

Man, so good! Wonderful in every way, Dan, loved it.

Happy Easter!

Dan, you never fail to bring a smile to my face, chills to my body, and inspiratiuon to my soul. This song is another super success. Love the vocals (of course), and your piano drives them to new heights --and then brings back to Earth, much like the resurrection and return. Modulating downward. After reading that, I couldn't wait to hear how you'd pull it off and still kepp it inspirational. Modulating master for sure.

Marty...thanks for taking the time to write such a gracious review...up modulations (to me) open the song up (and upward) and modulating keys downward help relax the music to a calm state...thanks again for your thoughts my friend...Dan

What a beautiful song for Easter morning! The vocals are lovely, as always, and the arrangement is both majestic and ethereal.

Your combo of RT’s, the Genos and your piano are a very comfortable fit indeed.

Lovely!
