Another one ... I'm not too sure of this one, but ... in absentia of something better, here it goes, anyway. Thanks for listening and for all feedback. https://audiomack.com/jamesdelsono/song/jesus-will-not-come-back-any-moreJESUS WILL NOT COME BACK ANY MORE Jesus will not come back any more To this world, torn apart by greed and war, To this rock, which was a garden long ago ... Jesus will not come back any more. Jesus will not come back any more To this world, torn apart by selfish gore, To this Earth, which once was so beautiful ... How can Jesus come back any more? Every time He reaches to our soul We respond with what's evil and most cruel; Every time He dares hope we'll mend our way We find new ways to tell Him "go away". And then we cry to Him, every time we're in pain To save us from that which we alone create, And, as soon as He has saved us from our hate We turn away, and to thank Him we forget. And then we pray, oh we pray, how we pray every day, To a god that says things He'd never say; To get rich, ever more, in every way ... His very words, each time, we twist and fake. Well, unless we find our way, by ourselves, every day ... Jesus will not come back any more To this world, torn apart by greed and war, To this rock, which was a garden long ago ... Jesus will not come back any more. ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Jesus Will Not Come Back Any More - 13 November 2021 File:Jesus Will Not Come Back Any More - 13 November 2021.SGU Key=C , Tempo 70, Length (m:s)=3:32 No intro. 58 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 58.

James...I really like the track...it's clean and crisp...lyrically your song is very sad and quite true about the condition of the world and culture in which we live...Not sure which Jesus your talking about...Biblically the only hope for the condition you write about is the Jesus of the scripture and He promised He would come back someday a straighten all this out...according to Him (Matthew 24 and other places) He specifically describes this human condition that you so eloquently have described in your song and it does seem like He would not want to "come back anymore" but I see it as our only hope...your songs are very thoughtful and provocative...thanks for making us think about things beyond ourselves...Dan

Thanks for commenting, Dan. I'm glad you like the song! My only problem with the hope that Jesus will come back and "straighten all this out", as you say, is that it absolves us of personal responsibility. "Ah, don't worry, Jesus will sort it". I don't think it works like this, somehow - and I'm sure that that's not what you were saying. Nevertheless, from observing with my own eyes the current situation, it seems that we've been given all the tools necessary to save ourselves, and then - and only then - if we try that in earnest and still can't do it by ourselves MAY Jesus show up - if He hasn't had enough to the teeth of us by now. If we don't even try, though, I'm not sure He'll bother any more.
Just my personal thoughts, though - and this is a SONG forum, not a religious forum, of course ... so thanks for listening and for your very kind feedback!

James, a nice progression that has hints of sacred music via the organ.
Good choice of band and a good mix.
You really have sorted out your vocal recording & treatment process - well done.
Your concern about humanity's misuse in some sections of society is well founded. Your examples are will selected and, I'm afraid, will be ignored by those you describe, those who quote scripture are often those who don't see themselves doing these things.

In defense of Modern Man, was the world of 2000 years ago really that swell of a place?

That's a difficult perspective. How about I try Gandalf's take on things? Life 2000 years ago was a very uncertain thing for the wealthy and, for the majority, was a plane of existence that caused many suffering it to look elsewhere for reasons and options. Sadly most of those options only offered post existence solutions.

Hi, James. That's a clever write - I thought the song made it's point clearly. You've vocal on this lyric here was excellent: And then we pray, oh we pray, how we pray every day,And your harmonic progressions remain distinctly your own!

James, you are rally such a treat in so many ways. I used to want to hear you SING the obvious melody that is the undercurrent of your music, but I have become a big fan of exactly the way you do it. There seems to be much more impact with the passion in your vocal your way. Your method delivers the message so much better. Message received.

James,
Good backing. Nice job on the vocals - as ray mentioned, you seem to really have "gotten a handle on that".
Well done.

Ray: thanks :-) Glad to hear the voice recording is finally sorted out :-)
Peter: thanks!
David: thank you!
Marty: thanks, man. You're a good man and a star, to boot. Always great to hear you've enjoyed a track of mine!
floyd: thanks. It all happened when Nigel Spiers suggested I cut down on the 120 Hz frequency. I've never looked back since ;-)
Thanks, all!!!

James,
A really gravitating music bed . . . warm and inviting, and your melody works well with it. To me, you seem to be in the half-world of spoken word and singing. This song needs to be sung, IMHO. Trust yourself to sing it—go all in. As others have said, you’ve got a good feel on how to layer your vocal into the mix—well done. Nice write, nice chord changes.
My very best to you,
Deej

Thanks Deej. My trouble, with singing, is just this: because I write some "strange" chord combinations, they take me by surprise when I try to sing to a backing track, UNLESS I actually write the singing part down, note by note - which I've sadly been too lazy to do, of late. One way of doing things could be to just write the chord symbols into the lyric text, at the points where it gets tricky, I suppose. That's the only reason why I speak it - because, obviously, if I speak, I do not need to worry about strange and surprising harmonies. So: I must not be so lazy and I must find a way around this. Suggestions welcome, of course - thanks again, Deej, for listening and for your ever so kind comments!

James,
I hope I don't offend by saying the following: I think you are overthinking things. As I wrote, you are already half-singing the tune. And the beauty of modern technology is that you can do as many takes as it . . . well, takes. I'd be ashamed, I think , to confess how many vocal tracks I record sometimes to get something that's just right. I'm just saying you have a nice timbre to your vocal . . . you should embrace it more . . . and it would shine in this tune. Take that for what it's worth . . . from an encouraging friend. In the end, it's your creation, so go with what feels right to you.
My very best to you as always,
Deej

You're absolutely spot on. You're right ... that's why takes are there - to do things again and again, if they go wrong, until they go right. So yes, you're spot on - no real excuses from me, apart from what seems to be just laziness, which is of course unacceptable. Thanks for a well-deserved, albeit gentle, kick up the rear end - so to speak! :-) And you'll never offend me, don't worry - particularly not when you're so honest with me and are not afraid/worried to be honest in your advice. Cheers, friend :-)

I realize what I'm about to say may get me kicked off. I don't care, I love God more than anything of this world! And I will not let this stand!
I am doing my best to say this in the most loving manner I can...
This song might sound nice, it may have even been sung nicely. I don't know, I could not get past the lyrics. They are blasphemous, un-biblical and un-scriptural. Yeshua (Jesus) is coming back for the very reasons you stated!
If you are an atheist, then I can understand your ignorance and will pray for you to see the light. I am none the less deeply offended by it!
If you are a "Christian" then you need to seriously check your walk, brother!
Yeshua (Jesus) is coming back regardless of what we or HaSatan does. It is written all throughout the Bible.
Matthew 24:36 - But of that day and hour is known by no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
1 Corinthians 15:52 - In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Matthew 25:13 - Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man comes.
Matthew 24:27 - For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Hebrews 9:28 - So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Matthew 24:44 - Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man comes.
Revelation 20:4 - And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
John 6:50-71 - This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
Revelation 11:19 - And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
John 10:28-30 - And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
And again, if you are a Christian, you need to remove this song from where ever you have it posted, repent and ask for forgiveness you wrote lies about YeHoVah's (God's)word! Do you NOT realize the times we are in???
