This one is a political song. But before you pick up any stones - I wanted to write something to address all the division and even hatred in my country (USA). So this is an upbeat song with a positive message. Doesn't matter which way you lean, politically, I pray that we can find a way to walk hand in hand. I hope you enjoy this one... Hand In Hand (Freedom Song) - YouTube Hand In Hand (Freedom Song) - Soundcloud Here are the RealTracks/RealDrums used on the song...

Young There's a light on a hill for all to see A flag waves proud in the land of the free And even though the storm clouds come along You can still hear the sounds of the freedom song Take my hand and walk with me Walk together in unity Lay aside the things that tear us apart We'll take our stand for liberty Show the world what it means to be free May the Lord continue to bless this land Hand in hand And even in the times we disagree There's a truth that we all must come to believe It's time for us to stop and look around Keep looking 'til we find the common ground Take my hand and walk with me Walk together in unity Lay aside the things that tear us apart We'll take our stand for liberty Show the world what it means to be free May the Lord continue to bless this land Hand in hand == Steve

Steve,
No arguments here with the sentiment on your very enjoyable song.
The sing along feel of the chorus is just right and I thought the band sound was great.
Sweet vocals as well.

Hello, Steve
Very uplifting song with great vocal.
As Robert said, the sing along feel of the chorus is just right and the band sound is great.
The momentary rest at "Take my hand" is very effective.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Steve,
well, you sure echoed my political point of view! I'm tired of people on both sides of the aisle sowing seeds of animosity toward their fellow citizens. It's long past the time for finding fellowship based on the ways in which we are alike and stop focusing on the ways in which we are different.
Having said that...
I think this mix is cleaner than distilled water! You really know how to put a song together and make it sound awesome! You also have one of the best singing voices I've heard in the forum (my opinion, others surely have their favorites).
Speaking purely from personal preference, I'd have to say that I tend to be MOST blown-away when your vocals are wrapped around lush strings and pianos. You are one of the few forum vocalists who can make a highly orchestrated song sound like it was recorded in a Nashville studio.
This song was more of a rocker than most of what you present, and that sort of jars my expectations. But, you easily make it work, and it does a good job of illustrating just how flexible you are as a song writer!

Professional touches are evident throughout this song,
You always deliver top notch efforts
man, this is so good, great subject, great vocals
and you make the biab instruments fit eloquently
to your arrangement. It sounds like a good tight
band behind you, love the breaks, love the mix.
Enjoyed it

We admire your consistently positive writes and this one certainly doesn't disappoint with it's timely message.
As Kenny said "professional touches are evident throughout this song..."
That pretty much covers it for us.
One word always comes to mind when we listen to your productions. Classy.
Whether it's the write, the vocal, the arrangement or the mix there's always just the right amount of everything. Never too much or too little.
Well done!!
J&B

A great groove Steve, and top class vocals - and harmonies - and the usual first class production. A super listen.
We've got similar social strife here following the Brexit referendum. Things are still very fraught...

A great message, well presented.
