This is brand new, I just recorded it tonight, and had to share it!!

Are You Ready

https://on.soundcloud.com/roY49QdQy5AVFWYV7

Are you ready for the rapture
are you ready to hear the angels sing.
Are you ready for that heavenly flight,
are you ready to meet the king of kings.

Are you ready for the rapture
are you ready to hear the angels sing.
Are you ready for that heavenly flight,
are you ready to meet the king of kings.

A long time ago, in a life of sin,
I wandered through the world, no where to go.
Then I went to church, and knelt at an altar,
Jesus changed my life and saved my soul.

Are you ready for the rapture
are you ready to hear the angels sing.
Are you ready for that heavenly flight,
are you ready to meet the king of kings.

Friend let me tell you, time is getting shorter,
you can see the signs everywhere.
Don't wait to late, to turn your life to Jesus,
then you will join us sailing through the air.

Are you ready for the rapture
are you ready to hear the angels sing.
Are you ready for that heavenly flight,
are you ready to meet the king of kings.

Are you ready for the rapture
are you ready to hear the angels sing.
Are you ready for that heavenly flight,
are you ready to meet the king of kings.
are you ready to meet the king of kings,
are you ready to meet the king of kings.

Hi Ronnie,

This is really well done. The vocal harmony is just so good, particularly the bass. And that early key modulation was nice. And the steady build was spot on. And that vocal ending was perfect for the song. Nicely done! I've really enjoyed your last several songs.

Take care,

Alan

I think your song as a great vibe, Ronnie, and your vocal harmonies are the icing, very nicely sung.

Ronnie, fabulous song! You have a fine ear for vocal arrangements, and you really nailed the sound of the southern gospel vocal ensemble. Fabulous ending, too!

Oh, yeah, Ronnie, I am ready. And this song is a great stop along the way. Love the harmony. I know there are 4, but sometimes it seems like 5 vocal tracks. So well done. A great song-along song -especailly for a large group of worshipers.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Ronnie,
Outstanding intro and harmonies
Loved the lyrics
Great mix.

PS - if one isn't ready they had better get on the band wagon very soon!


Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

Very well done. I enjoyed listening to the harmonies. To my ear the song sounds a little like Mountain Music by Alabama. I hope you'll take that as a compliment.

Im ready....
The lyrics from the get-go invite the listener to join in the fun and celebration combined with the enthusiasm heard in your your vocals
makes this song very engaging
This has a good chorus that makes one want to stand up and sing along.
Interestingly contains an element rarely heard nowdays...a key change ! and it sounds great.
I like the downward vocal line at the end.
I enjoyed your song.

Hi, Ronnie.

Catchy chorus, excellent harmonies. Going double time at the end worked nicely.

I also love the descending bass part at the end. smile

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