I decided to play a little more of the instruments on this one than normal. (Piano, organ, percussion, and orchestration softsynth.) Been pretty busy lately, so hope this one comes out okay. Hope you enjoy it!

Very soothing and beautifully sung, Steve.
The production is just right- simple, with just enough instrumentation to keep the flow.
The stately melody and natural imagery reminded me of Jesse Winchester`s ballad Biloxi.

Robert

Absolutely beautiful Steve! Your vocal is outstanding (along with the backing vocals). Your playing sounds great also. But more than that, the song is great and will touch many people. Thanks, Torrey.

Steve

Lovely work all round - a top production beautifully sung and played.

Peter

What a wonderful song. Beautiful. I really enjoyed the harmonies on this one and for me, everything sets perfectly in the mix. You have produced a very compelling write to go with the excellent arrangement. I truly enjoyed this.

Charlie

"And if I listen close, I hear the angels' song
And in the midnight hour I know it won't be long
Til the sunshine ushers in another dawn
And bigger dreams are born"

A very nice write, Steve. Beautifully sung. Lovely arrangement.

A terrific listen. Always like how "comfortable" your vocals are. Sincere, confident, strong.

I can only repeat what the others have said. This is just a beautiful song and a super vocal. Well done

Beautiful song

Your attention to detail is excellent

to me this is a stop and smell the roses,
be still and be amazed at God's creations and love

this is one to be proud of

Kenny

Steve, this is a really nice write with a fine arrangement some great playing and your trademark impeccable vocals. A top notch listen. Tom

this is the kind of song where I particularly like your voice.
It's beautiful, as ever ;-)

Rob

Hello, Steve

Very beautiful song!
Your main vocal and the backing vocals are outstanding.
As Robert said, the production is just right- simple, with just enough instrumentation to keep the flow.
Hammond organ solo is very pleasant.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thanks, Robert! I appreciate your comments. I went back and listened to Biloxi after reading your comment. I haven't listened to that one in decades! I can see where you get the comparison. I take that as a real compliment. Winchester was a good writer!



Torrey, I really appreciate your words of encouragement. I hope the song does touch many people! Blessings to you!



Peter, thanks so much for dropping in to listen and comment about this one. Much appreciated!

Wow, so good! Everything about this is top notch. Love the vocals, especially when you brought in the harmonies. Great hearing the live instruments in there also. Mix is perfect!
Really, really good, on my second listen

Great song Steve, beautiful lyrics and vocal delivery.

The playing is excellent on the "live parts"--you have a very nice touch.

I can see why people are streaming your music so much. It is great!!

a beautiful song

and a great study on arrangement and production

excellent all around

Steve, I am late and everything that I wanted to say already has been said, i.e beautiful song, outstanding lyrics and vocal, great job on playing your own instruments,etc etc etc.

All I can add is if this were playing on the radio I would immediately go out and buy the CD.

This is definitely a keeper.

Steve,

This is the epitome of simplicity at its most beautiful. A superb arrangement and vocals that are so comfortable for the ears and the mind. This is splendid in so many ways. Standing "O" from both of us.

Alan & Di

Great the tambourine near the end of the song.

Sergio

Thanks, Bob! Always good to hear from you!



Thank you, Dave. I appreciate you dropping by and commenting on this one! Glad you like it.

Steve

Tom pretty much wrapped it up! This is one of my few favorites of yours among many favorites. It's meditative and really, really BEAUTIFUL!! Take care. Greg

Busy or not it came out just fine.

The melody, lyric and vocal are all so supportive of one another. And your playing wonderfully complements the above. As in the dictionary definition of complements (with the "e" ) states, "a thing that brings to perfection."

And from Greg, we'll borrow "...meditative and really, really beautiful."

Thanks for sharing.

J&B

Always good to hear from you, Mario! Thanks for your kind words. (I'll let you know when this one is in the stores.)



Thanks, Alan & Di! I'm glad you enjoyed this one!

Hi Steve...

this is the kind of writing I've come to expect from you... lush and intricately woven with subtle background patterns and a message that resonates with any spirit whose hope extends beyond the confines of a temporal existence!

Your talents are varied, and they provide the unique ingredients that set your songs apart from everyone else's (although I guess that statement is kind of generic, since everyone's uniqueness shapes their music. )

But I'm speaking specifically about how your faith influences your lyrics in an infinitely expansive way. Your performing and mixing talents are the icing on the cake.

There are lots of people in this forum who are doing a great job of showing what is possible with Band in a Box. And you are one of them. But you are one of the few who shows how it can be used as a ministry. I like that about your songs, and I respect your willingness to use your gift of music in that direction.

Thanks so much, Paul! Appreciate your kind words.



Sergio, really glad you like the melody on this one. Thanks for dropping by and commenting!



Thank you very much, Greg! Glad you like it!

Janice and Bud, thanks so much! Your comments are always very welcome and appreciated!



Thank you, Pat! I always enjoy hearing from you. Your comments are very appreciated. Glad you like this one. I do try to write songs that are uplifting, and hopefully point in the right direction. Thanks again for your encouraging words.

Steve

+1 on what Alan & Di said. This is definitely a keeper, Steve!

Donny

Thanks so much, Don! It's so nice to hear from you. I hope you are doing well! Really appreciate your generous comment!

Steve,

This is such a mighty presentation. I don't know what words I can use to tell you just how beautiful this sounded to me. Everything resonated with magnificence. You took me to places that no song has ever taken me before. I really enjoyed this journey.

May good things come your way,
Noel
