Well, I've been out of pocket for the past couple months. Working too many hours!

This one is a praise song I wrote last week, called You Are. Introduced it to our church Sunday, and it went over pretty well (but then we are a pretty rocking church). This is a Texas-style blues-rock praise song. Mostly RealTracks/Drums, with some organ, synth, and percussion from me. I hope you enjoy it...

You Are

This is a good write and a great message for the times. Your productions are always top notch and the same for your vocals. Enjoyed my listen.

First song I've heard from you, I cant imagine how the production values could get any better. I enjoyed the song a lot but the mix was the real star here. Take your place among the top 10 artists I have heard on this site. Maybe top 5. Thanks for posting this one.

Really nice work Steve!! I love the way this works musically. The melody is very singable but fresh and new. Great musical change from the verse to chorus. Great mix and arrangement. Really enjoyable all the way around!! Take care. Greg

Outstanding!

Top of the bar vocals and production. A very effective
selection of RT's with a shining mix. Everything
is where it oughta be. We've missed songs from
you and are happy to see you back.

Glad you have a rockin' church that can enjoy
the message!

Nice!!

Fantastic production. No way I would peg those guitars as anything other than studio musicians recording 'this' song. Your edits, your phrasing, two thumbs up!

Sweet vocals too:)

Hi Steve,

Very, VERY, tight and solid track.

Great choice of RTs and super vocals.

A very sophisticated arrangement, coupled with a professional recording and mix.

Loved it.

ROG.

Hi Steve. Wonderful stuff. I am sure it went down VERY well at your rocking church!
Posted By: gruverider Re: You Are - 08/12/15 12:28 AM
So tight! Love the synth touch at the end to lift the outro! I just love your production chops.
Posted By: Guitarhacker Re: You Are - 08/12/15 08:28 AM
Nice work.

Just wondering if you tried any of the P&W grooves on this before rocking it.
Posted By: Planobilly Re: You Are - 08/12/15 11:20 AM
Super well done production. Out standing vocals and harmony.

A good example of what can be done in BB for a new user like me.


Cheers,


Billy

Joanne,

Thanks for your kind words! Glad you like it!

Lawrence,

Thanks so much! Appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment.

Herb,

Glad you enjoyed it! I did try the P&W sounds, but the ones I settled on here more closely matched what I was hearing in my head. Again, thanks for taking the time to listen and offer your thoughts. Much appreciated.
