Hey guys...here's another remaster with BiaB...it's a minor ballad with vocals from a 20 year old recording and a new BiaB track...I wish I had the original vocal tracks but at least Steinberg SpectraLayers allows me to rip them off the original mixes and I get to hear them with a fresh accompaniment...anyway I appreciate your listening and especially your comments and helpful suggestions...hope you like it...Dan

This isn't a song I can comfortably critique. It's a song to be immersed in, enveloped by and draw comfort from. Thanks for sharing.

Dan,

This is excellent! What a beautiful tune with a top level vocal...she's awesome! Those background vocals are also as good as it gets, which is normal for any of your tunes! The song is wonderful with such a huge potential for ministering to any listener! Keep up the great work!

Thanks, Torrey

Firesong:

Very pretty tune—gorgeous vocals . . . and a lovely write (creative rhyme scheme—A,A,B,C,C—in those verses—very nice). Excellent production. Terrific listen!

All my best to you,

I almost missed this masterpiece and I do mean masterpiece. I'm glad I got to hear this as this is so professional.

You have really raised the bar a number of notches with this one.

Loved it!
