Wow, guys I just updated to BiaB 2022 last night and the first style I listened to I got fixated on...so a buddy of mine sent me a poem in a Christmas card and I thought it would match up to this style perfectly (or close enough) anyway I finished the project at about 4AM this morning...so I'm sharing my new found excitement with you all...Number1: BiaB 2022 is going to be a fantastic tool (I haven't got past the first thing I listened to) and Number 2: I've been in a major and long writer's slump and it feels so good to work on new material!

Hope you enjoy...all comments and suggestions are appreciated and welcomed...I hope you all have a great Christmas and New Year!!

This is a lovely song - I especially liked how you tied it to "meet you where you are" at the end.

Well done! smile

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

Although I can't embrace the sentiment, this is a great song and I do like the way the final phrases are turned.
Excellent choice of Style too. Dont get too fixated - there are thousands more to go. smile
Keep your resurgence going.
Best wishes for a much better 2022

Hi Dan ..

I always enjoy your songs. I enjoyed how the layers slowly and discreetly unfolded. It's my believe a gradual but strong build adds a wonderful element to many songs. The lyric, vocal and production are all excellent.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic 2022.

Alan

Hi Firesong,

no doubt that this style must have been created especially for you.

Very beautiful - and I'm fascinated by your voice. Very well done!

Take care,

Stefan

Dan,

Powerful words that were first spoken to Job thousands of years ago when all earthly things were lost to him! Thanks for the reminder and I certainly do embrace the sentiment in this one! Your vocal is outstanding. Although this one is lacking the wonderful harmony you usually provide, I didn't realize it until the song was nearing the end and that speaks to the effectiveness of your vocal performance! Thanks, Torrey

Feel like we just listened to an act on the Gaither Vocal Band Show.

Nice mix, vocal, band (excellent strings) and arrangement.

Well done,

Have a great new year!

You're so right about BiaB updates being a huge boost to our imaginations and creativity, Dan. What a stunning example you've presented here. Love that poem and how you turned it into just the right music. Those strings really sound good. Excellent vocal as always.


Enjoy whatever happens!
