Hey guys...Three weeks ago my wife M'Len suffered a stroke...she was life-flighted to a facility about three hours from where we live so I've been living on the road a lot...I've been listening and commenting on some of your great songs as I linger in the hospital and rehab center...the rest of my time has been spent in trying to remodel and prepare our home for her return...I am posting this song today because we are so grateful to the Lord for His grace toward us...M'Len is scheduled to come home next week and I am so thankful for that...the song is old and has no BiaB tracks on it yet...it's one I had hope to freshen up with BiaB someday...but it is our heart today...so...if you do...thanks for listening...my best regards Dan

Dan, first and foremost I pray that your wife fully recovers from her stroke. Both of you are in my prayers.
Second this is another fantastic song that should be on all Christian radio stations today.
Great vocal and message.
Super backing tracks.


I think my wife has started to show the first signs of dementia.
She said she can't remember what she ever saw in me!

Hi Dan.
This is a beautiful song. You sure don't need no vocaloids with a voice like yours expressing all that genuine emotion. Being 3 hours away from your loved one must be mighty tough for you both. I just got a big dose of perspective from your situation. Good luck with your home rennovations and thoughts and prayers to a speedy recovery for M'Len.

Oh, Dan, so sorry to hear of M'Lin's stroke, but so glad to hear she will be home soon. You surely are the best thing for her return.

You know I know that you're quite amazing at fashioning those synth voices on a Fresh Start, but for me there is nothing better than YOUR vocals. This is another beuatiful inspirational masterpiece. And yet you say it isn't done yet. Love that piano. So well played. It's all so well done. Take care, my friend, and we'll all pray for you and M'Lin.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Very, very nicely done, Dan.
It feels like I'm sitting in the middle of a choir.

Dan,

Di and I have you and M'Len in our hearts and thoughts. Prayers for both of you. We're hoping M'Len makes a wonderful recovery.

Such a gorgeous song. You amaze me with your talent. You have some of the very best music on the forum. You have been blessed with a special gift and have used it so wonderfully to fill the rest of us with the joy of that talent.

Wishing you and M'Len the very best.

Alan

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