YOU STILL LOVE ME

This will be my last song post for 2022 (With the exception of an album release announcement). I will keep dropping in occasionally to see what everyone is up to. This song is my true testimony of how I feel about forgiveness! It's a re-write with Ron Helm of a song I posted a couple of years ago under a different title. Ron and I thank everyone who takes a moment to listen! T

YOU STILL LOVE ME
Words and music by Torrey Bliss and Ron Helm

My conscience torn
It torments me
For the way I've treated you
But still, You're there
You forgive me
I'm starting over
All things are new

You looked beyond my failures
And saw just what I need
I once was blind
Now I see how much You still love me

I stand amazed
That You call me friend
Even when I feel that I'm no good
You proved your love for me nailed upon the cross
As the blood flowed down Your side
If I'd only been there
I'd see real love in Your eyes

You looked beyond my failures
And saw just what I need
I was so blind
Now I see how much You still love me

You shined your light
To the depths of my soul
Exposing things, I thought I'd hid
Far away from You
When I was down
You set me on my feet again
I'm gonna walk with You 'til the end

You looked beyond my failures
And saw just what I need
I was so blind
Now I see how much You still love me

Hello Torrey
A fantastic end to a year of great Torrey Bliss songs!
Your songs are always of such good quality.
Very impressive.
And your guitar solo is just awesome.
Great job Torrey
See you around
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Another purely Torrey Bliss song! There is a unique timbre to your songs...vocally and instrumentally...the best songs are the pieces of our hearts set to melody and you have revealed yours here...I love the transition out of the drone chord that carries the verse to the chorus...the mix is right on...harmonies are excellent and the solo is great! I know the album you and Ron are constructing will be fabulous...cause we've got to hear a great deal of it...I will certainly miss your posts...I hope to hear from you again soon! My highest regards...Dan

Your song has a Pink-Floydish vibe, which I like a lot.
You have the perfect voice for this kind of music!

Hi Torrey & Ron ...

You gentlemen own the Pop-Christian segment of these forums. Your music is always pro-sounding and done so dang good! I think I've run out of accoldaes for your music. Will a sincere "Excellent - well done!" be okay?

You'll certainly be missed until you return. Wishing you the very best in your endeavors. Take care and be safe.

Alan

Excellent production Torrey! Good song structure as well.

Torrey, your productions never cease to amaze me! Always so professional on every level.

Excellent write (tip of the hat to Ron as well), excellent performance, and as always, stunning production.

If this is your last song for 2022, I'm looking forward to 2023!

Torrey,

Amazing song and production... I look forward to everything you post. You make some of the best music around.

Bob

Man, oh, man. You and Ron deliver in such a HUGE way every time --consistently. So professional on every level. I like Dan's reference to Pink Floyd and Dave's longing for 2023. I cannot wait for the album you mention. You are one of my favorite songwriters, Torrey, and one of my favorite performers. Some say you have to see the performer in order to truly appreciate the performance. I'm blind to that.

Torrey,
Amazing multi instrument playing and vocals! Neat intro. Very professional overall production. Listens very well. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Fabulous Torrey. As I first heard those lyrics I was thinking, "Man those guys wrote my song". All of it was good, but those lyrics really resonated with me. It was hitting home right from the first verse, I've felt those same feelings and you've put them to music like only you can. I actually keep a 3X5 card taped next to my bathroom mirror where I've written 2 Corinthians 5:17 to constantly remind me old things have passed away and all things have become new. Your productions always have such a high quality sound. I just now this is going to be a great album. I'm really going to miss hearing your stuff, so please, come back soon!

Brad

Hi, Torrey.

Dave already beat me to the word "stunning", but I'm going to use it again anyway.

Stunning. I have a vague recollection of the outline of the first version, but this is very cool.

Torrey (& Ron),

KILLER production.
Excellent vocals. AND BGVs (you do that SO well!)
Outstanding guitar work. The solo is COOL - and so HOT!
Good write.
Beautiful mix.

Pro-Level Work. In all regards.

You had me right from the intro!

Great vocals!

Sweet guitars!

Outstanding mix.

You both should be very proud of this one.

Thanks Andi for the kind words! T

Thanks Dan! I appreciate your comments! T

Thanks so much for your comments! T

So pro sounding as I've come to expect from you. Love those searing guitars when they come in. Great work!

Excellent song, Torrey. Totally professional sounding mix, superb vocals and playing. I also got a bit of a Pink Floyd vibe in spots.
Regards,
Leon

Thanks Alan for the kind words! I never take it for granted! T

Thanks Dewey! I appreciate it! T

Thanks Dave! Your comments mean a lot! T

Hello Torrey,

I'm sorry to read this song is your last song in 2022. How come? Still 3 months to go...
What a very good song you made!
Very good vocals (but that is almost 'normal'in your case) and an astonishing nice solo, wow, loved it!

If this is your goodbye for '22, what can I expect next year? (oh, Dave said the same, I noticed, sorry).

Enjoyed it a lot!
Hans

Your guitar hooked me in.

Excellent production: a well-textured wall of sound.

I like the 70s/80s sound.

Awesome guitar solo.

Thanks, Bob! Your comments mean a lot to me! T

Thanks so much Marty! I never take your comments for granted! T

Thanks, Misha! I really appreciate it! T

Thanks Brad! It's wonderful to know that we don't have to let the past drag us down when we really believe we have received forgiveness! T

Thanks David! I appreciate all that! T

Thanks Floyd! I always appreciate you taking time to listen and comment! T

Thank you, Mario, for the kind words! T

Thanks for taking a moment to listen and comment! T

Thanks Leon! I'll take a Pink Floyd vibe comparison any day! T

Thanks, Hans, for the kind words! I'm going to have to take a little time and focus on some writing and recording for a bit and also travel. I appreciate your comments! T

Thanks Scott! I appreciate it! T

A excellent production Torrey.
The mix is great and the performances are terrific.
Lyrically it feels like a re-write though.
There are a couple of spots where sibilance jumps at me - but that's more my hearing than the production.
Your voice is forward, as it should be, and everything else supports it as they should.

Thanks, Ray, for taking time to listen and comment! I appreciate it! T

As always, you have delivered a pro mix and your performances vocally and instrumentally are stellar.

Eight vocal and nine guitar tracks? Wow. That is waaaaaay above our mix paygrade!

Your vocals reflect the sincerity of your lyric so well.

Rock Gospel at its finest!

We look forward to your 2023 offerings!

J&B

Yes, like others said, Pink Floyd vibe!
Great vocals and music.
