Dan,

That's a beautiful song. So well sung, as always.

Love your choice of tracks and a big spacious mix. Great piano also.

Nice way to start off the near year. Something tells me we're going to need his presence this coming year.

Hi, Dan.

As usual, excellent work.

Good write - the repeated rhymes in the beginning hook at the start of the verse, and provide a contrast to the verse's cadence. The repetition of the chorus is also very effective.

Nice build. I expected the snare to be centered, and it's off to the side. Not bad, just different. I like the changes in the feel as the song progresses - the song is cohesive, but keeps interest throughout.

And, of course, well sung.

I enjoyed listening! smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Not the first one to say it, but....wow, what a beautiful song! Love the arrangement and mix, too. Your vocals are so, SO very strong (FWIW, I would be tempted to dial the reverb back so they can stand out more clearly). Love your BGVs as well. In fact, love everything about this, well, except for the key signature. Ha! Really enjoy your tracks, thanks for posting!

Hey, I just had a great idea. I always seem to have to interrupt my listening of your songs just to type the obvious. Henceforth when I write "Hi, Dan" you'll know I mean "WOW! Extraordinary vocals and such a strong presentation. Exceedingly inspirational both spiritually and musically (as if there's a difference). Lyrics from the heart and soul sung with such a heavenly gifted voice." This will give me more time for listening --and I like how your Soundclick account keeps 'em playing.

Hi, Dan.


Enjoy whatever happens!

What a beautiful melody ... I think this is my new favorite song of yours.
Well produced, and as always, your vocals are the best part!

Man, I've been away to long Dan. Great stuff! It's a long song, but keeps you interested throughout - and if anyone had a problem with it (which I don't) it could easily be shortened. I really, really like that melody and your production is fantastic. You've got a great voice, but man I do love your writing!

Hi Dan,

Beautifully conceived, arranged, and delivered.. As always, your voice is just so danged good. Nice band you put together - hope you're paying them well! I also liker songs that build as they progress, so extra points for that.

I did think the brief guitar lead riff could have been a touch louder.

As always, a new lesson in musical expertise.

Wishing you the very best.

Alan

Dan, I've said it before and it definitely holds true in "Deeper" as well...you are a master of the intensity build as the song progresses. Beautiful 'bridge' and instrumental leading to the last chorus. You truly have a God-given talent and you're not wasting it, my friend.

My thoughts are you are one of the best gospel musicians on the planet.
The arrangement is outstanding, as are your vocal and lyrics.
I wish those that need to know the Lord the most would find him!
Loved your song.

That’s a lovely song and Janice said it made her think of the peaceful feeling from a church song she always enjoyed called “Sweet, Sweet Spirit.”

As always, the vocals are beautiful and your instrumental performances mesh so well with the BiaB guys.

Happy New Year!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
