Belladonna,
Thanks for paying attention to the song and the lyrics.
And big thanks to my dear friend Norma Berry, for language consultation! Here it is:
The World Won't See
You walked the Earth on naked feet
You saw those who had nothing to eat
You gave them fish, you gave them bread
You even raised the dead
You told the leaders they were wrong
You talked about a Kingdom to come
You returned to woman dignity lost
You were willing to pay the cost
But, the world won't see
The world won't see
Our eyes can't meet
It's you and it's me
You taught about a Fathers love
You were revealed by a stainless dove
You raised from the waters
You poured your Holy Spirit on sons and daughters
But, the world won't see
The world won't see
Our eyes can't meet
It's you and it's me
Jesus is Your Name
And I carry my shame
All my sins and my loss
I lay my burden at Your cross
But, the world won't see
The world won't see
Our eyes can't meet
It's you and it's me
But, the world won't see
The world won't see
Our eyes can't meet
It's you and it's me

Very refreshing approach.
Very cool vocals and very original percussion in this song.
Also detect a subtle Alan Parsons influence (and you can"t go wrong with that).
Rob and Anne-Marie Thanks for listening, Rob and Anne-Marie! And Alan Parsons… Wow! :-)

Thanks Scott!
The vocals somehow worked this time – I'm a guitar player, not a singer ;-) BULL, you are a fantastic singer! Everything that I wanted to say has already been said and I agree with it all 100%. All I can add is this is a keeper. PS - you are a great guitarist also.
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Einar,
This is beautifully done!
Really nice use of BIAB tracks that we don't see folks using often. There needs to be MORE of this kind of music in the Showcase.
The outro guitar is nice. Is that you?
Excellent vocals. Excellent mix.
Excellent music!
floyd
Floyd's right on both counts-it is beautifully done, and we need MORE of it!! This is such creative and interesting music. I hear "my era" in there! Wonderful!! Take care. Greg

Good evening, "molsenhouse"...
Before I stumbled on composing lyrics and music for songs, I paid practically no attention to the production side of music recording -- all I cared about was the music, mostly.
But now, after listening to "The World Won't See" (what an attractive title!), it's clear that a song's production is crucial to the "success" of the whole enterprise.
The instruments were cleanly and clearly recorded and well-distributed through space. The sound effects gave the song a sense of cosmic importance.
I thought the vocal track was very well-sung, though I missed some of the lyrics. If Jesus heard your song, I hope it would speed up his return, so he could help us begin to repair this wayward world!
Sincerely,
LOREN

Rob and Anne-Marie Hi, What a terrific change of pace for the forum! Simply beautiful - as Floyd said, more of this would be a good thing. I fully agree with what Ron & Ann-Marie said. I think they said what I was thinking better than I might have said it. This is top-shelf all the way! Alan Thanks for listening and your nice comments, Alan. Really appreciate it!

All I can add is this is a keeper. PS - you are a great guitarist also. THANKS Mario! During the recording process I paid more attention to the vocals, melody and the phrasing, than I ever done before. Usually, I pay most attention to the guitars. I wrote this song on a steel string guitar, chased a "wall-of-sound" idea, but – LESS IS MORE! The lyric demanded a lot of "air/space", and I decided to follow a simple guitar line that developed through the arrangement. Starting with a nylon string guitar on the verses, changing to steel string on the chorus and finally electric guitar at the end. And I used more time on the vocals and the other sounds than the guitars in this project. Though, I still consider me a more of a guitar player, than a singer ;-)

Man, that's one seriously innovative use of our precious application right there. I swear, even owners of the program would not be able to guess it if you hadn't told us! Thanks so much for greatly expanding my views on the possibilities of this nifty tool  Oh, and the song itself isn't too shabby either
