Ain't Been the Same

Verse 1
He took a sinful man from a wretched place
Brought him to his knees and then He showed him grace
Till I knelt on the floor I never saw how far I fell
The Lord's all that stands between me, death and hell

Chorus
Ain't been the same since the fear of the Lord
Everything has changed, I ain't who I was before
Now I fear God and not man anymore
Ain't been the same since the fear of the Lord
Came down on me

Verse 2
The Holy Ghost, he opened my eyes and he showed me the Truth
I've inherited lies believed from my youth
These worthless idols that did me no good
Before the fear of the Lord, I never understood

Chorus
Ain't been the same since the fear of the Lord
Everything has changed, I ain't who I was before
Cause, now I fear God and not man anymore
Ain't been the same since the fear of the Lord
Came down on me

Verse 3
One of these days I'll go before the judgement throne
Knowing I've no righteousness or grace on my own
I'll be there a trembling, face down on Heaven's floor
All I got, all I need is the promise from the Lord

Chorus
Ain't been the same since the fear of the Lord
Everything has changed, I'm not who I was before
Cause now I fear God and not man anymore
Ain't been the same since the fear of the Lord
Came down upon me

Break
Ohhh Child!

Chorus
Ain't been the same since the fear of the Lord
Everything has changed, I ain't that man anymore
Cause now I fear God and not man anymore
Ain't been the same since the fear
Fear of the Lord

What passion in your voice, Bawb. You had a lot to say, and it was all important, so nothing should be left out. I enjoyed it from intro to ending. Thanks! Fear is a good thing, right? Keep up the good word, man.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Bawb,

A strong write - you come at the subject from a fresh, unique angle.

A good basic BAND - all you need with a voice like that. Man! what a voice!!

A good mix.

Well done.

Very nice!

Great job on the vocals. A little Springsteen feel to it. That’s a good thing.

Love the write. Gets a very important message across, very effectively. And your vocals carry the honesty, sincerity, an power of the lyrics perfectly.

Like Floyd said, the band is all you need for a vocal like this.

The only (very minor) suggestion is the the length of the intro. At 40 seconds, that’s definitely unusually long. On the other hand, it lays a bed of “contemplation” to set the mood for the vocals to come. So it can go either way.

My (again, minor) suggestion would be to cut the intro in half, and maybe end the intro with a sustained chord the first half of the last bar of the intro, then the 4-5 on the last 2 beats. That’s just the way I think. But it doesn’t take anything away from this fine write and presentation!

Thanks so much for sharing this.

Steve

Bawb,

Nice powerful opening to catch the ear straight off—clean and engaging. And that rich, gravelly vocal is just killer. Some sweet internal rhymes that work nicely. It’s not my genre of music, but I can admire the artistry nonetheless. Would have loved to have hears some backing vocals build up in the latter choruses, but it stands just fine as is. Great stuff!

All my best,

Deej
