Dan, you are one of if not the best gospel singer, arranger, and song writer.
Your vocals are always outstanding, as are your arrangements and mixes.

Loved it!


OK, a random thought;

Awesome, inspiring song Daniel! I agree with Mario on your vocals, the arrangement, lyrics etc. I haven't been on the forum much lately but glad I caught this one in my queue today!

Wow! I like this.

Once again I enjoyed listening to your great powerful vocals, you could sing anything and make it sound mighty, but with the uplifting message like this together with the sweet harmonies the feeling is even mightier. Lovely beautiful melody which somehow reminds me of Celtic songs.

"...so if you do..." HA! I know you're not referring to me. Never miss one of yours, Dan, and am never disappointed. A terrific production, always rising up through production and inspirational lyrics, not mention the vocals. Okay, I'll mention the vocals, and you can cut 'n' paste this into all of your songs. Outstanding!!


Enjoy whatever happens!

Dan ...

I've never once been disappointed by anything you have posted. This is so lovely. Your arrangements always stand out ... as does your wonderful voice.

Let's see ... 2019. Hmmm ... I was 72 years old! I'm staring down the road at 77 next birthday. Yikes ... that's old! But I'm in pretty darn good health!

Thanks for another treat. Just so very nice!

This is also a sweet song, as Janice said, and the arrangement displays the power of BiaB well.

Congratulations on the 40 years of writing. It is hard to believe you’ll be coming up on 45 already next year.

Lovely vocals and a fine mix too!

Hi Dan
Such a wonderful song
And who could sing it better than you ?
The only thing you should try is this :
Take a drum kit with a really fat snare sound and add some reverb. Mix the drums as loud as you can justify it into the song ;-)
And I think the message and your singing will get even more expressiveness.
At least that's my experience ;-)))
Well done
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Hi, Dan.

It looks like I missed this the first time around, so I'm happy to get a chance to hear it this time around.

Your description says it all: "soft country ballad about Jesus".

Well done, as always. laugh

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