This is a song I would place in the CCM genre! I am a worship leader at a medium size church and put together all of our music (with a lot of help from BIAB). I always get the pastor's notes a few days ahead of the service and start putting together a set of songs. This one was inspired by going over some of those notes! I need to give credit for the chord structure of this song though to a construction kit I purchased through Big Fish Audio. I built a melody around it and went from there. I didn't use any of those files in this production though...it's all BIAB and myself! I will keep tweaking it for sure but have it close enough to display. Thanks so much for having a listen! T

Hi Torrey,

This is an incredibly powerful sound that you have created here.

Your performance is top notch and your mix is excellent. I listened on speakers and the vocals sat really snugly in amongst the backing instruments.

You've certainly chosen a wonderful BIAB band to showcase this fine production.

Your church must really enjoy listening to your music.

As always, I am impressed!

All the best for 2020,
Noel

I was just thinking the other day that it had been a while since you posted a new song .... and here it is! smile

This is great! You had me hooked right from the opening melodic guitar lead. Great vocal, also really like the vocal melody. I like that delay you added to the vocal at the end of each line, very effective. Killer guitar work of course!

Nice breakdown at 3:00.

Man, if the praise and worship band at my wifes church played music like this I would probably go more often wink

Excellent start to 2020, Torrey!

Torrey,

I always love how "musical" your songs are. And that is both the melody and the production/instrumentation. This is SO BIG.

An excellent vocal. Passion.

A superb production.

On my second listen. There will be others...

Cool solo!

Excellence abounds.

This is amazing. I love the colourful chord progression, particularly that A minor / D major contrasting sequence. The production side of things is stellar, also - and the voice itself is wonderful. What can I say - bravo!!!

A huge sound, impressive musicianship abounds (superb guitar), along with an excellent vocal.

A really top notch composition.

Very inspirational lyric Torrey. Such a cool vocal and your guitar - wow. Well done. Did you do this live at your church. That would get me sitting up straight. Well done

Catchy chorus - sticks in my ear, and makes me want to hear it again.

There are obviously other excellent things (see prior comments), but really, that's the key of a good song for me.

As always - melody, arrangement and own instrumentation make a TB song a cracker.
The doubled solo is pure classic rock - it'd fit on any Boston LP.
There's a click from the vocal hitting the reverb or something else a little hard at 1.42 & 2.44 it does happen a coupe of other times but those two a the most obvious ones.
Classic Torrey: a melange of Beatles and other influences there to be enjoyed in a true original.

Thanks so much Scott! No I haven't done this yet at church. I need to prepare a backing track with lead vocals removed but haven't had time to do so. T

Torrey,
Always a holiday listening to your tunes. Excellent work work all around on this. Little bit on a high frequency side of things for my ears, but I completely understand why you chose it to be that way, it definitely adds attitude. Everything has its own space and mix is very clear. Thank you for sharing!

Misha.

Hi Torrey ...

Been away for several months due to wife's health issues. So very satisfying and enjoyable to hear your many methods of musical intrigue. Your talent is second to none. As an original Missourian, I find you have given our great state a musical platform anointed with class, direction, truth and wisdom through your awesome talent. A musical journeyman such as myself needs only to listen closely to your magic, to learn how high the bar is and the amount of effort it would take to to attain that degree of professionalism and magic touch.

Truly loved it, my friend. You are a phenomenal talent in kindest of ways. You have my respect & appreciation for your work. Totally loved every note and word of this fabulous offering.

Wishing you the best and God's ever-present guidance. Simply wonderful in every possible way. Hope 2020 is your best and most rewarding year ever. Thank you for this time ... until next time ... have a great time.

Alan

I really enjoyed this one - I like how lush the instrumentation is. It sounds so huge and full. I found it nicely catchy too, and you did an A+ job with the mix too. It sounds extremely professional.

Thanks for sharing smile

One thing that always impresses even beyond your fine vocal and guitar
performances is the arrangement. With your vocal and guitar chops
it would be easy to forgo the thought that you obviously put in the
arrangement.

And this is a great example with the huge crescendo and then the
as Steve mentioned breakdown near the end.

The write is inspirational and at the risk of redundancy the guitar
and vocals are top notch as is the production.

Great work!

Quite a majestic sound in this production. The desire of the heart of the persona to be rekindled with the spirit is not only communicated well with the lyric, but also with the vocal performance.

Nicely done!

Torrey,
The passion in your vocal comes through beautifully and the "big"sound is tempered by those pure-pop, pure-Torrey nuances in the melody.
Superior production on show throughout... topped off by that signature guitar lead.
Fine work!

Hi Torrey,

This is really a very cool song. Nice vibe, filled with emotion and drama.
So chapeau!!! (means concratiolations with this song).
I only have a tiny remark about the ending of the song. That came so abruptly to my opinion. I would have given it some more beats with a dramatic instrumental ending and a nice drumfill. But, that's me.

Thanks Hans! I always appreciate your comments! I felt the ending of the song needed a softer "drawn in" feel to close it out with because this song is basically one long prayer and I wanted an intimate ending! T

Dear Torrey:
What can I add that has not already been said?
Ditto to the above.
thoroughly Enjoyed the tune.
I'll crank it up in the garage later today and try to play along and ponder the thoughtful lyrics.

Hi Torrey, I'm a bit late to the party, because Maha and I were ill.

Well, what can I say: You have a go at whatever and it shines. The melody that you developped over those chords is - like always ! - just lovely. I adore your singing, solo as well as those fantastic background vocals you always come up with. Great guitar parts - the whole thing is simply top-notch from A to Z and was a treat to listen to. Loved it!

All the best,

Stefan

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
