I like this one and listened to both versions - 2nd one a bit stronger. Trained musicians would think it's all real if they didn't know how it was made.

Since you've got the right voice for this kind of song, please do one thing: sing into the end words of your lines with the same power you use throughout - it sounds like you're backing off of important words like "disappear, night, light". You don't have to get operatic, just don't quit singing on those words.

I'm being sensitized to these things because I've found a good voice teacher - it doesn't mean I do them right myself.

Keep up the good work.

Steve

Hi All,

Thanks again for listening to this song and for all the good ideas and nice comments.

Steve, I did not want to re-record the vocals (lazy that way), SO I lifted the words a bit that you mentioned (Night, Light Disappear)

Ian, I also took your advise, Just FOR fun to see. I had some friend over the other night and I recorded them clapping along on the last chorus.

Let me know If I should leave the clapping on the last chorus or remove them, I think it sounds okay, BUT I am kinda on the fence on that one.

The song is in the same place and the same file name.

Danny, the suggestion was one of those half-in-fun jests alluding to the gospel/spiritual nature of the tune. I've actually used knee slaps on acoustic tunes as well. The production is way-strong (a nod to youth speak here) without them.
The claps do work and the best use of them I think would be on beats 2 and 4 with the snare. I hope the friends enjoyed the experience. Good on you for doing it.

The production does not really need them. If you add something to a production and you can't feel a lift from it, then it should probably be excluded. You've got a good spontaneous feel here without the claps.

Danny,

Nice tune, I really liked the background rhythm guitar. Which real track is that? Excellent vocals and great mix.

Thanks again for listening to this one.

I took the clapping out, I liked it, BUT I didn't - either way it was fun having my friends over and clapping along...

tcaylor: The rhythm guitar that I used was RT524 Guitar acustic strumming. After trying them all, I kept going back to this one for this song.

Whelp. I guess this one is done...on to the next.

Thanks again!
God's Peace
Danny
