683 bass electric
888 piano acoustic
Real drums nashville even16 5 snare hi hat
1270 guitar electric rhythm
Loop percussion loops cowbell quarters 4 bars
686 Organ B3 background pop
Vocals: Gabriela Martinez , Jonathan Paaso
Words: G.Martinez

Words in English:
Verse I
Where is rest?
From the thunderous noise of the world
Holy Spirit, my relief
From each day, my rest

Pre Chorus
I long to hear you
The whisper of your song
Remembering your promises
Oh, you increase my joy!

Chorus
Jesus Christ, I long for you
Jesus Christ, I thank you
Your voice alone
Is what I need

Verse II
Heaven is the perfect place
Where you are reigning
I sit together with you
I fully trust

Jona, this sounds great. Love the groove you've squeezed from the band, and both vocalists sound great. I especially like the part where the duet starts, as well as the modulation. Very cool stuff!

Strong sound and it captures the essence of the lyrics of longing and patience. Very well done, Jona. Perfect feel for the Spanish vocals, too. I love the change in the second half. Even stronger. What a good mix, too. There's a lot in there and you gave everything the proper place. Gabriella was obciously the perfect choice.


Enjoy whatever happens!

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

Jona,

This is a fabulous song! Gabriela's vocal is just gorgeous. the entire soundscape is full and lush.

The change ofr the last half of the song works perfectly. The lower register harmony works quite nicely.

This is a great listen! Spanish such a beautiful language. This shines like a polished diamond.

You and Gabriela sound very good together!
We like the vocal arrangement with the swapping off lead.

You wrapped the nice band in a fine mix.
And it sounds excellent on the monitors.

Lately we can all relate to this line:
“Where is rest? From the thunderous noise of the world”

Enjoyed it!

Ah, I love the way the Spaniards roll the “rrrrrrr”.
Good arrangement, everything well produced, and 2 really good singers.
My only complaint is the acoustic guitar(?) on the right, it gets a bit annoying after a while.
But don't lose any sleep about it, your song is really well done.
Love it!

Good job. It reminded me of my time in Argentina visiting several churches and talking with the people. Great time of fellowship.

I liked the song. Muy bonito
