HOPE BEYOND THE GRAVE UPDATE....As of today 3/19/24 I have uploaded my final mix for this one (same link) With Easter Sunday (I always call it resurrection Sunday) fast approaching, I decided to give this song that was inspired by the resurrection story another go. I posted a version of this several years ago. To be honest that first offering wasn't very well done! I've been meaning to re-do this for quite a while and hopefully I've done a better job this time. A big thanks to Marty Straub for allowing me to use one of his pics for the SC pic (Marty you are awesome) Thanks to you all for giving it another listen! BIAB Drums - Bro Country Pop 8's Bass - 1521 Pop Power 4's Guitar - 4452 Bro Country Pop Arp Guitar - 4453 Bro Country Pop Arp Organ - 686 Background Pop Ev 120 Me Vocals Guitars Leads and Rhythm Synths I also added some third party drum loops in the bridge Hope Beyond The Grave Torrey Bliss ©2024 All rights reserved Some say when we all die When we've lived out our last day That there's no hope when we're gone That we just all fade away I have hope beyond the grave I know there will come a day When I'll walk through Heaven's door I have a reason to believe A reason to believe You died to set me free You rose on the third day I have a hope Hope beyond the grave Lord when you walked on this earth You were seen by Those who heard and wrote your words And they are words that bring life Giving us hope and peace of mind I have hope beyond the grave I know there will come a day When I'll walk through Heaven's door I have a reason to believe A reason to believe You died to set me free You rose on the third day I have a hope Hope beyond the grave If I die tomorrow I've only begun to live Time has lost its grip on me since I was born again I have hope beyond the grave I know there will come a day When I'll walk through Heaven's door I have a reason to believe A reason to believe You died to set me free You rose on the third day I have a hope Hope beyond the grave

Hi Torrey,
Thanks for the front-row seat!
Nice!!! I particularly like the lead-up to the choruses - really cool! I also like the up-front drum placement, as they tend to lead the way.
Great guitar work! But that's no surprise. Your vocal-only bridge is perfect. The arrangement and mix are top shelf. I love the ending. I enjoy when a song ending doesn't necessarily resolve to the tonic.
The one little thing that caught my ear was I think the vocal could use a touch more high end - not much, but a little.
Great song - great recording! Great message.
Take care,
Alan

Torrey...brother you are amazing!...what a great Resurrection Day song and message! musically I don't know which is better your vocal (and incredible harmonies) or the killer track you created or the wow-zer (my term) solo you played...I've said this before but you have a sound and style that is so identifiable...your vocals are you and you alone...you don't sound like anyone else and no one sounds like you...I love all your songs and productions but this message is special...Dan

Torrey, this is an outstanding song.
Your vocal is really strong.
Outstanding guitar chops!
Loved those lyrics.
Great mix.

Hi Torrey,
I remember this song very well!
It was the first song I heard from you (I think) and I know I was impressed by the melody, the chorus and your vocals!
That is not changed with this version. It's just a wonderful song.
I can't recall if this song is recorded, or mixed better than the previous one. It sounds very smooth and catchy, but so did the original too!
Hans

Torrey, I love the subject matter and the way you presented it lyrically and melodically within the upbeat melody. Great lift in the chorus!

Hi, Torrey. You should see the smile on my face, and words would be unnecessary. Your vocals are as good as ever. I love the composition and the arrangement. Great song idea, too. Love that guitar. Very much enjoyed. And the smile is still there. Thanks.

Hi, Torrey. Well, I guess the one advantage of being late is I get to hear the latest and greatest mix.  Vocals sound great, as do the harmonies. Nice uplifting song - an excellent Easter Resurrection Sunday song!
