If you like big, rockin' anthems with lots of guitars and a pipe organ....you might like this...it's almost exclusively produced on my Yamaha Genos keyboard with a BiaB guitar mixed in...it's fairly long (it's P&W...so) ...it helps to get through it if you sing along! Thanks for listening and comments of all kinds are welcome...Dan

Oh BTW it sounds better if you play it really loud!!

If the "Amen" candance didn't announce tip listeners off that it was a P&W song, I don't know what would.

Plus it, leads right to the chorus. wink

Fun song, clever title. Good write, cool harmonies... sounds great to me! laugh

It... ROX. (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)

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

Great stuff Dan. Super cool and I love the idea. As always the vocals shine. I really liked the drum break near the end. I didn't particularly like the distorted guitar in the Amen choruses. It was hard to my finger on, but the volume was kind of low so it was hard to tell. I think I would have panned it a little more to the left or the right and the distortion seemed a little heavy, but those are very nit pickie nits. It's a cool song and drew me in immediately.

Dan, wow, P&W with a hook! Super song, and doesn't seem to long at all because it IS a lot of fun to sing along with. LOVE the vocals throughout. Your vocals are the best instruments on here, and sung with a lot of passion and nuance.

The only things that don't sound perfect are the guitar licks that start at about 1:44. They are VERY bluesy to my ears, and this song is of course not. Some RT adjustments might serve the song better.

But man, what a song this is! Really loved it.

Hey Brad...I appreciate your thoughts...I agree and dropped the chugging guitars altogether...thanks for the "pickie nits"...I totally agree...I may not be done mixing yet...but that helped...Dan

Dan,
This is an excellent P&W song that sounds great to me like it is! Even though it has some rock sounding guitars in it, I feel this still falls in the Southern Gospel P&W category.
Those vocal would make Randy Phillips, Shawn Craig and Dan Dean envious! If PCD would have had this back a few years ago they would have taken it to the top! Don't change a thing IMHO!

Thanks, TB

Dan, it doesn't matter what genre you use as backing tracks you always sound so professional.
Great groove.
Super vocal and lyrics.
Outstanding mix.

Dan,

Nice. A pleasant LitePopRock backing.
Killer vocals (as always).
Good mix.

Again, your arranger tracks are impressive.

What a cool intro. Loved the pipe organ. Boy this song has a really groove to it. This one would get you out of your chair for sure. Vocal and harmonies were excellent. Well done

It all fits together quite nicely -- to our ears a light rock P&W anthem.

Janice was reminded of some the songs her Baptist youth choir did in the ‘70’s.

As always standout vocals, engaging arrangement and an excellent mix.

Well done!

Hi Dan,

Man, you never disappoint! Everything you post is excellent.

This reminds me of a late 70s Pop P&W song. Your vocal, as always, is stellar. And the harmonies are so tight. Everything about this one stands out on its own - a more so as a collective group.

Excellent!

Wishing you everything good.

Alan
