This is a song I would place in the CCM genre! I am a worship leader at a medium size church and put together all of our music (with a lot of help from BIAB). I always get the pastor's notes a few days ahead of the service and start putting together a set of songs. This one was inspired by going over some of those notes! I need to give credit for the chord structure of this song though to a construction kit I purchased through Big Fish Audio. I built a melody around it and went from there. I didn't use any of those files in this production though...it's all BIAB and myself! I will keep tweaking it for sure but have it close enough to display. Thanks so much for having a listen! T

Hi Torrey,

This is an incredibly powerful sound that you have created here.

Your performance is top notch and your mix is excellent. I listened on speakers and the vocals sat really snugly in amongst the backing instruments.

You've certainly chosen a wonderful BIAB band to showcase this fine production.

Your church must really enjoy listening to your music.

As always, I am impressed!

All the best for 2020,
Noel

I was just thinking the other day that it had been a while since you posted a new song .... and here it is! smile

This is great! You had me hooked right from the opening melodic guitar lead. Great vocal, also really like the vocal melody. I like that delay you added to the vocal at the end of each line, very effective. Killer guitar work of course!

Nice breakdown at 3:00.

Man, if the praise and worship band at my wifes church played music like this I would probably go more often wink

Excellent start to 2020, Torrey!

Torrey,

I always love how "musical" your songs are. And that is both the melody and the production/instrumentation. This is SO BIG.

An excellent vocal. Passion.

A superb production.

On my second listen. There will be others...

Cool solo!

Excellence abounds.

This is amazing. I love the colourful chord progression, particularly that A minor / D major contrasting sequence. The production side of things is stellar, also - and the voice itself is wonderful. What can I say - bravo!!!

Very inspirational lyric Torrey. Such a cool vocal and your guitar - wow. Well done. Did you do this live at your church. That would get me sitting up straight. Well done

Really nice, Torrey! Obviously, great message. Well done! Love the guitar solo. Good job on the breakdown towards the end, with the accordion. Love it!

Catchy chorus - sticks in my ear, and makes me want to hear it again.

There are obviously other excellent things (see prior comments), but really, that's the key of a good song for me.

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

As always - melody, arrangement and own instrumentation make a TB song a cracker.
The doubled solo is pure classic rock - it'd fit on any Boston LP.
There's a click from the vocal hitting the reverb or something else a little hard at 1.42 & 2.44 it does happen a coupe of other times but those two a the most obvious ones.
Classic Torrey: a melange of Beatles and other influences there to be enjoyed in a true original.


Cheers

Thanks so much Scott! No I haven't done this yet at church. I need to prepare a backing track with lead vocals removed but haven't had time to do so. T

Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4).

And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
