Beautiful song, uplifting lyrics, well sung, and produced. I like the minor movements in the chorus, and key change lift. Nicely arranged build of backing vocals and instrumentation. Pro song, and sound all the way. Nicely Done.

Sounds good to me Dan!

But when you said the song was going to be "coarse" I almost didn't listen, because I was afraid if might not be the kind of sweet Praise and Worship I have come to expect from you.

Lovely soundscape.

I like this song a lot. Nicely done.... I like that modulation x2. Not many songs these days use that technique anymore.

That's a cool Eagles kind of groove.

Dan, you can never post too many songs!

This is an absolutely fantastic Christian song.
As always everything is perfect!
Great voice and lyrics with a super backing band.
Excellent chord progression.

You should be on every Christian radio station right now!

Hi, Dan.

   I often think that I'm posting to many songs but of coarse you don't have to listen...

So... many... typos... wink

Very pretty song. Well sung, excellent arrangement.

Yes, I enjoyed it.

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

Awesome style choice for an amazing song, Dan! Love the feel the mandola gives to this one. Great job increasing the use of instruments in the first verse.

Dan,

A solid write (no surprise there).
Beautiful vocals. A sweet melody.

I'm always amazed at the acoustic guitar track you get from your keyboard. Does the keyboard come with those patterns or did you have program them?

Really well done.

These acoustic tracks were from a style on the Genos...but I can simply play a chord on the keyboard and choose the picking pattern I want to use from dozens of available patterns and can select which particular guitar I wish to use...the Genos is the flagship keyboard arranger that Yamaha produces...it's quite amazing and teamed with BiaB they are great tools to produce with IMHO...I'm blessed to get to use both.

LOVE IT!! Never too much from you, Dan. Excellent choice of instruments. Very cool how subtle they come in and out, always adding the the right phrase. Modulating Dan. You always rise the key higher as if you're rising ever higher. Very good music background and your usual outstanding harmonies. So well done.


Enjoy whatever happens!

The arrangement, lyric, BiaB band and your performances are all very smooth and comforting.

All of the above is outstanding but the arrangement and the vocals are very, very high bar.

Well done!

Your usual top, top notch singing voice, great writing, and stellar production. The modulation is perfectly timed, and suits the lyrics at that point, in my view. Kept my attention throughout. Well done. smile
