Torrey,
I've made mention of this before, I'm not a religious man so, this type of song doesn't fit my listening preference.
Having said that, the quality of your write and performance is stellar!
Nice job,
Moto

Different, but in a good way. Nice gospel tune with very positive mood.
Lovely to hear those beautiful chords played with the piano. And the interplay with the guitar solo and the bass is very enjoyable. Excellent vocals really shine in this light arrangement.
Janne Thanks Janne for 5he kind words!

That's a good song. Pretty solid biblical write that teases one who knows the hymn this one shadows well without getting too close to the other.
Nicely done. Thanks Herb! I'm sorry but I don't know what the hymn is that you say this "shadows " maybe you mean something like "Amazing Grace "? It's got that same swing feel time signature. T

I'm glad that I didn't miss this one. Everything is spot on. Great vocal and guitar chops, super tone on that axe.
The lyrics are the icing on the cake, loved them.
A great song - loved it. Thanks Mario! Your comments are always appreciated by me! T

Two words apply to every song you post, Torrey: Professional and Talented. Man, you always stay on that high-standard. Each and every piece in the mix sits so well. Yes, this is different from you in many ways, but those remain constant. Very creative in your mathematical approach to BGVs works perfectly. Such a good write. Thanks Marty! I appreciate all the kind words! T

Takes us back to when we used to watch the Gaither Vocal Band Homecoming show.
Outstanding soulful vocal and guitar performances (and other tracks).
Well written and arranged also. The total package Mr. Bliss!

Torrey,
masterfully done musical piece. I think 6/8 worked very well, there is absolutely no feeling that it was forceful, sooth all the way. Very good vocals and mix. Thank you for sharing.
Misha. Thanks Misha for the kind words! T

OMG I LOVED it! You sing so well, and the overall song is a blast.
I really appreciated the chord changes and how you toyed with the drums to create many layers of rythms.
Thanks Angelo! I really appreciate that, especially coming from such a fine musician as yourself! T

Hi Torrey,
You are very active with all the songs I see coming from your hand.
And this one is a bit different from your other songs, but also terrific!
I like your vocals very much.
The piano also has a very nice/good full sound. I am searching fore some time to achieve this sound. Tell me your secret...
Hans
Thanks Hans! I used the EZ Keys grand piano for this track and supplemented some of the parts playing my yamaha keyboard.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

T This: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=dtBW3BOVKHI&list=RDAMVMdtBW3BOVKHI Similar theme but definitely not the melody or chord structure. I guess there have probably been hundreds of songs with a similar sentiment. I know of this song but it was not a factor in my composition.

Hi Torrey Bliss,
Nice orchestration, the Biab vocal was well integrated.
It is true that Toontrack is a great tool for drums.
It's well mixed and the whole is very pleasant.Well done.
Kindly regard
