SteveS is one fantastic Christian poet and in fact is in the process of assembling his poems for his first publication. He wrote this for a song. BobH and myself put the music together and Steve sang it. This started in BiaB style -PO128-1 and BobH was playing the acoustic guitar while SteveS was quietly singing the song. But the headphones died early in the song however I waved to the guys to keep going. Unfortunately the final tempo not only varied but with the held chords Sonar with Melodyne could not produce a correct tempo chart. So I had to add everything freeform. BobH is playing the acoustic guitar. I did an audio to MIDI conversion and added a zither to the guitar. I add everything else via my wind controller and keyboard controller. We hope you like it. Save the Family Save the Family Lyrics and vocal by StephenS Background tracks by BobH and MarioD Yet another young person is killed At the hands of a empty soul Both of these lives are gone Their family suffers the toll A father steals to feed his family From God, he cannot hide If he'd given his heart to Jesus Jesus would surly provide There are so many lives in turmoil today Is it because, We forgot how to pray Satan is so happy, when things go "his way" So many end up, with his "hell to pay" In all of my years What I've seen that has changed The lords become optional Isn't that strange Family's were strong When we prayed everyday Now family s are week And the further we stray With no moral compass We have nothing to hide We mistreat our neighbor And still we feel pride We can turn our backs On a brother in need So we can have more Satan named that "greed" So many have become blind Or they, choose not to see There is only one way To end all this misery We must put Jesus first In our lives, everyday And go back to the old way And "relearn" how to pray Let us love our neighbor As we love ourselves Let us put all of our sadness Back on satan's shelf Let us return to the days When family's were strong Let us pray to the Lord That we all get along!!

Interesting arrangement. The ooohs work well. And the big orchestration into the chorus is cool...

Mario,
Powerful lyrics and a very unusual and atmospheric production( love the drum rolls and background choral vocals).
Very good collaborative work.

John, David, Torrey, Dani, Joe, Scott, Floyd, RnAM, Bob, Tommy and Kenny, thank you all for listening and those very kind comments. You always take a big risk when you post a religious song and we here are very happy that you took the time to listen and comment.
Thanx again

I enjoyed the timpani type build - I think you have built a nice sense of drama and gravitas in the song with the selection of instruments and sounds

Hi Mario
Theirs not one thing I dont like about that song.Really liked it from the first time I listened.When you sing the line "save the family" it drives an arrow straight in,really great thanks for uploading.Im getting a song sung at the moment that slightly crosses over .I hope to upload in a couple of weeks when I learn to use Ozone properly!or near enough.What programme did you use for the AH CHOIR?
Great production,Hugh
P.S A bit of Johnny Cash in the voice

Fabkebab and gruverider thanx for listening and the comments. They are appreciated so thanx. Thanx so much for the kind review Hugh2. I used Play's Symphonic Choirs for the ahs. It's not cheap but it is very good. http://www.soundsonline.com/Symphonic-Choirs

Hi Mario,
I looked at Symphonic Choirs before and looks like a great product.I didnt understand whether i could put a midi track through and get an ah chorus out of it or not?I used sampletank on a midi track for an ah chorus and although i liked it it sounded ringy at top range,its the only track on the song that didnt have real clarity.Your ah chorus was clear which i liked,Im still messing around with sampletank one (even though i like sampletank) to see should i leave it in.
Hugh

You would use Symphonic Choirs exactly like you do with SampleTank. That is play the MIDI into the VSTi.
Ps - I just sent your PM to SteveS. I will let you know as soon as I hear from him.
