Missed The Message Video

Hi folks, a long winded Bud here:

Three years ago this month Tom (Tommyad) posted the audio production of this gospel song that he and Janice wrote. As I mentioned in a review of Tom’s current posting, The Dash, he has a way of profound lyric expression with relatively few words. This song has come to mind many times over the last few years. And more so as I get older and see more friends cross over.

In addition to writing the lyric Tom produced/arranged the song and played both pedal steel and guitar on it. Janice contributed the vocal and melody.

I’ve often considered a video for it but I would fail to find images that I thought supported the lyric without distracting. Recently I revisited the notion and saw it though to completion and hope that it works for you. BTW, I asked Tom what inspired “the old Big Muddy” and he explained that it was a river in Illinois where he went to college. The second verse incorporates a photo I located of that river.

The use of steel in gospel music may initially seem unusual (as it did for me). However Tom introduced me to the tradition of the “sacred steel.” Starting in the 1930’s some African-American Pentecostal churches in Florida began to substitute a lap steel for the organ and later brought the pedal steel into their music. The Robert Randolph Family Band, a blues rock group, is an off spring of this tradition as Robert was brought up in churches that played this form of gospel. I think Tom’s over driven wah wah steel really captures the excitement of the sacred steel which you can see in this short film: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SOmZhhNNElM Things really start cooking around 2:30 in. And it is fascinating to hear the ministers and practitioners talk about how the steel "talks."

What a wonderful example of the richness and diversity of American music traditions - gospel oriented pedal steel with roots in Florida African-American Pentecostal churches.

Hey Ya'll,

Before I forget, just wanted to say how Janice lit up our ears with her falsetto late in the song. Smokin'!

What a treat for the ears. This is just so danged good. Everything gels perfectly. There really are no words to say what a wonderful song this is. Please know ... we think this is one of the best productions we've heard on our two or so years here!

I (Alan) grew up in St. Louis and we always called the Mississippi River "The Big Muddy". If you've ever seen it, you'd know why!

Di and I are in the process of recording a Country Gospel song and the primary instrument is pedal steel. We're probably a few days away from finishing it.

Anyway ... this is fantastic!

Hello, Janice & Bud and Tom

Very cool gospel song with great vocal!
I heard wah wah pedal steel for the first time.
Tight bass drums and the background vocals are pleasant.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

J&B and Tom,
A fine collaboration.
Lapsteel is one of my favourite instruments - this is the first time I`ve heard it used with wah wah and it sounds great!
Lovely soulful vocal by Janice.
The background southern church music video is amazing.

Wow! That's fantastic.

And not to change it, but I really think (as has been suggested) it should be titled "Angel Flying Next To Me".

Great song and Janice' voice is perfect on it.

Yeah man, wah wah steel - don't hear that every day smile

I was lucky to find that shot of the actual river - particularly one of high enough resolution for me to crop to 16:9. Glad you liked that.

J & B and Tom,

This is good stuff. I enjoyed the video as well. Some very cool & unique steel work!
I played with a steel guitar player in the 1980's that came from a southern blues kinda background and he was really good at turning an OD pedal on and wailin' on some slide licks.... He's gone now, but that sure took me right back to him. Thanks for that Tom.

Great job all around!

I could go on and on about this song. But I will leave the meaning up to the individual listener. For me, the best thing about this song was the realization that Bud and Janice were fully vested in the idea and that the three of us are truly on the same page regarding many different facets of our lives. Collabs with them and a few others turned out to be BIAB's gift to me that I had not expected. Thanks to PG, Bud and Janice, all my forum friends, and those that have taken the time to listen (again) and comment. Tom - PS Bud, special shout out for applying your video skills and taking this song to the next level.

This is SUCH a fine song. Nice to hear it again. Nice to be able to see/read the lyrics as they slowly go by...lyrics worth reading. And a beautiful melody.

Janice - one of your best vocals - and that is SAYING something!

Tom's guitar and steel work is exceptional.

The choir loops - nice. Nice video, Bud (as always).

Y'all done good.

This might have been their first collab and it showed us all how well things were gonna click. Tom's guitar / steel and those choir loops just nailed the tune. Glad you liked it. I was pleased to have played the tiny role of engineering the vocal smile really.

Hi, Ms. Janice; hello, Bud...

"Missed the Message" is instantly inspiring, and in more than ways than one.

The laid-back tempo of the music, the placid chord changes, along with Ms. Janice's vocal a-lighting on the instrumentals like a dove retrieving an olive branch from the water's surface, all combines to create a powerful and persistent image of the river evoked in the lyrics.

At song's end, the impression is timeless, and the tone is melancholy, yet hopeful.

"Missed the Message"? Nah, I don't think so! More like you passed it on to us...

I think springtime is having a very creative impact on members of the User's Forum!

Sincerely,

LOREN (a.k.a. "bluage")
