Hopefully y'all enjoy a change of pace, albeit a slow pace. https://soundcloud.com/user-619066495-714650428/closer-to-your-light-vocals "Closer to Your Light" Verse 1 As I walk though darkness Please hear me when I pray LORD I pray for your protection Let my heart not be afraid Through the thunder and storms And all the rains that may fall Give me an unshakable faith You will see me through it all Chorus Carry me from this wilderness And the bitter cold of the night Lead me far from this darkness Closer to Your light Ummmm Closer to Your light Where my soul belongs Closer to Your light Verse 2 Let me be a righteous man Oh, but if I ever fail Please be merciful and strengthen me So that I might prevail So even in the darkness that I see Your light's not far away as it appears I know that He who is within me Is greater than anything I fear Chorus You will carry me from this wilderness And the bitter cold of the night You will lead me far from this darkness Closer to Your light Ummmm Closer to Your light Where my soul belongs Closer to Your light Chorus You will carry me from this wilderness And the bitter cold of the night You will lead me far from this darkness Closer to Your light Ummmm Closer to Your light Where my soul belongs Closer to Your light Band: Style:Separate Guitar Solo Slow Americana Key: F Tempo: 40 Bass*** 2873: Bass, Acoustic, AmericanaSlow128 Piano 3088: Piano, ElectricVintage, Rhythm, Rythm, AmericanaSlow Drums** RealDrums=AmericanaSlow128 Guitar 1* 2875: Guitar, Electric, Rhythm, Americana Tremolo Slow Guitar 2* 3224: Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Rhythm Campfire Slow Guitar 3* 3178: Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm CampfireSlow 128 Guitar 4* 3192: Guitar, Electric, Soloist Slow 12-8 Brent

I was surprised that the 5 minutes did not seem like 5 minutes... I liked that it was a bit more "gentle" with your message. Soft-prayer-like. fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

I felt the inspiration of your faith in your performance via your committed lyrics. The backup singers added even more soul to the sound of your production. Also, your Real Track selections served your lyrics quite well. "Music is what feelings sound like."-- borrowed from a Cakewalk Music Creator forum member, "Mamabear".

The band supports the message, nice combination of the acoustic and tremolo guitars. Nice melody and beautiful bluesy chord progression. I'm sure this would work even better in a live concert.
