That was quite a ride. Like Arabesque on some serious steroids. Really well done! Quite complex earcandy piece of music. Very musical. I can only imagine the effort went into making this tune. Sounds great! If faith encourages some to be a better person, that is absolutely great, but if not, what is the point? Thank you for sharing.
Misha. Thank you for listening and your nice comment, Misha ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) And, yes, it was my most ambitious project to date with a lot of work and uncharted territory. Learned a lot!

Sounded good, I can't believe how the AI vocals revolution has taken hold. This reminded me of Evanescence if you throw in a little more production. I loved the lyrics, they express exactly how I feel on the subject. Again, good job on both song and video. Evanescene, I gladly take that  Thank you, Rob, for your kind words, especially about the lyrics, because that's the thing I'm trying to improve the most

B.D...that was an amazing production...as one who "dabbles" with AI and uses it exclusively these days I'm amazed at your skill in using this medium to such a high degree...I can't imagine the time it must have taken to complete this project...I thought the subject matter was handled well...to me you expressed very well the hypocrisy of both the "believers" and the "unbelievers"...judging each other without fully knowing the people they choose to judge...a thought provoking song produced at a pro level.

Excellent! Man, I read your description of how you created this piece, and like Al, it's also above my pay grade  Great song, performance, and production, well done. Thanks Dave! It's actually not THAT hard, but learning several new tools from scratch obviously takes time and perseverance. Especially when you learn that some things don't work as expected. But having no idea how things work has never stopped me

Wow, that knocked my socks off, in a good way!
Excellent lyrics and message.
Outstanding production, and those hi-tech singers really delivered - they can wail!

Brian, all of the hard work you put in this song shows as this is a masterpiece.
Outstanding synth vocals (they sound organic), lyrics, arrangement, instrumentation, and mix.
Loved the groove.
The title says it all and wouldn't it be wonderful it we all lived by that?
I try to be a good Christian, I fail a lot, but I know that not all so called Christians are good people and that not all non-Christians are bad people. I never judge a group based on the actions of a few, I judge individuals on how they act towards me, and I think that is what your song is saying.
This is an outstanding song.
Loved it. Thank you, Mario Yes, the world would be a perfect place if everyone would just be nice to each other (is that proper English?). All you need is love.

Wow, this really is modern music, Nu Metal or something like that (first reminded of a Finnish band called Blind Channel), with a very powerful message. I like what you have written, expressed very clearly like in "I do it by choice, not by the words I read". I wouldn't have guessed this is your song, sounds so different than your previous work, that "hurt girl" is missing And maybe even too professional But I REALLY appreciate the hard work you have put it to this song to make your vision become alive, because the end result is Amazing GREAT. I feel it's one of the best in this genre. Super mix and the singing is beyond unbelievable. You definitely do what is right Janne

I think the production is excellent. To be honest, I'm not a fan of the hard rock style because everyone has their own personal musical history and tastes and colors are not up for discussion. But what a beautiful job on the whole piece with beautiful variations. As for the subject of the song, if I wanted to be humorous I would say that I don't want to talk about it because I don't want to end up on a woodshed ! For me it's not religion that poses a problem, it's man that worries me the most. There is too much violence and will to dominate in him because the survival of the species is forged thanks to that and is written in our genes. Unfortunately education (when it exists) and social rules are never enough to stem this. Generations follow one another and the same mistakes are repeated: Man learns nothing except to make more sophisticated tools and weapons.
I congratulate you on your beautiful musical work
Laurent

Hi, BD. This is still popping up on the top of the forum list, and for good reason. I noticed that I'd listened to it before, but failed to comment. So I'll make up for that now. Nice "epic" sound. Eclipsed Sounds has a new rock voice available - seems like it might be a good fit for your style. Not that this is lacking anything. Good write, well produced, and it feels like a song, not betraying the work behind it to get those bits and bobs to fit together and play nicely.

We often reflect on how if everyone would follow the golden rule the world would be such a better place.
We'll toss in the word empathy also. Sooooo missing nowadays.
We thoroughly enjoyed the back story, lyric and performances.
That’s a lot of work you have here and it sounds like you’ve learned a lot too. Bud can relate as he is trying to relearn a video program that has been hugely updated since his last use of it and Janice gets overwhelmed just from his explanations to her of those changes. 😆
It really is epic! Kudos!
J&B Thanks J&B Yep, empathy is also a lost cause. Thanks for the idea for a future song

Thanks a LOT for your really nice words, Dan. And double thanks for understanding that it's not about believers and unbelievers, but about judges who want to convert the other side

Hi,
I know very little about Rock music but this sounds great to me and you sure have put a lot of work into this song and mix.
Excellent.

WOW, WOW, WOW!! What a production of a great song. I thought I was listening to something from the local Contemporary station. It needs to be a national release, it's that good.

You definitely do what is right Janne Thanks Janne The professional sound _might_ come from the fact that this is the first song I've given to a professional mastering engineer. So far, all my songs have been unmastered. Glad that it's audible!

Hi BD.
Whoa!!!! What a truly mighty music production! I can imagine how many hours you must have spent on this to get all those musical jigsaw pieces to fit together to create such an outstanding presentation. A number of comments have used the word "epic". I wholeheartedly agree. I love everything about this... writing, arrangement, performances, production. It is a mesmerising musical journey from start to finish. The 5 minutes disappeared way too quickly!
For me, this was excellence on steroids!
