WHY DO YOU STILL LOVE ME A little change of pace for me here. I guess this is a Rock/Blues/Adult Contemporary sort of thing. This one took a lot of concentrated effort to get all the fingerpicking parts right. I only used the drums from the program and for better or worse played everything else. I just couldn't find the right realtracks to make it happen, so I had to go to work! Thanks for listening! It's always appreciated! BIAB Drums - Modern Pop Ballad 16th's Me Vocals Guitars- Taylor 812ce Acoustic and Taylor T5 for the fingerpicked parts. Fender Telecaster for the leads all ran through a Headrush Gigboard Electric Piano, Synths, Cello and Strings all played on a Yamaha keyboard. Bass - A very old Peavey Foundation that still sounds good WHY DO YOU STILL LOVE ME Words and music by Torrey Bliss Copyright 2021 My conscience torn It torments me For the way I've treated you But still you're there You forgive me We're starting over All things are new You looked beyond my failures And saw just what I need Your life for mine Oh Lord why do you still love me I stand amazed That you call me friend Even when I feel that I'm no good You proved your love for me hanging on that cross As the blood flowed down your side If I'd only been there I'd see real love in your eyes You looked beyond my failures And saw just what I need Your life for mine Oh Lord why do you still love me You shined your light To the depths of my soul Exposing things I thought I'd hid Far away from you You picked me up And set me on my feet again That's why I'll trust you Lord til the end You looked beyond my failures And saw just what I need Your life for mine Oh Lord why do you still love me

Torrey,
This is Top-Of-Your-Game stuff! Absolutely the best...
Aside from the excellent vocal, musicianship, lyric and arrangement, this is one of the best mixes I have heard on the forum. Pro all the way.
Loved everything about it!

Hi Torrey.
Absolutely fantastic song.
So many little details. It's really fun to listen to.
Good thing BiaB didn't have any matching realtracks for you ;-)))
Just a pity that the guitar solo is so short ;-(
For me one of the best songs here in the forum.
Many greetings
Andi

Very captivating intro, verses are especially exciting both melodically and musically. Nice guitar arpeggios and the bass sounds very good. I enjoyed the chord progression which varies nicely between pop and fusion jazz.
Great soloing. The vocals express the torment and the amazement in the lyrics powerfully.

Hello Torrey,
As I told you before, your songs are very good, with strong choruses and lovely to listen to.
I have one 'but'; When your song started you builded up a very nice tension with the guitar.
So I expected 'an explosion' in your chorus. And it looked that way, but then you went down with your vocals.
That was a bit a pity for me, expecting that tsunami of sound.
I realized you could't do that in this song because of the message in your lyrics.
But it was you that gave me that expectation. You talked about a song in the Rock/Blues category.
Nevertheless it is a very nice song!
Hans

Torrey,
Excellent from every angle.
A good write. Killer tracks. The subtle guitar rhythm tracks are perfectly done.
Those drums sound Great!! How did you process them? plug-ins?
Gorgeous vocals and BGVs.
And a gorgeous mix. Sweet guitar fills and leads!
How did you record the Peavey bass??? And how did you process that? (I have the same bass, I think. I've never considered trying to use it, but you've opened my eyes to the possibility...)

Torrey, you are one very talented multi-instrumentalist! (I'm glad that you couldn't find any fitting RTs - you should play more often).
IMHO this is your best to date. Everything here is at a pro level.
Loved it.

Wow, I'm blown away that you played all the instruments except for the drums (good drummer by the way). The sound is so smooth and well mixed. Bravo. Nice song. Your vocals are smooth too. You remind me of Toto a little bit.
Good work.

Modern sound. I've often echoed the sentiment of the song in my thoughts (I imagine many have), but you actually articulate it in a contemporary, modern, effective guise. I love it.
And your playing: top, top notch. Effort put it or not, to get to this stage: the end result sounds effortless and phenomenal - that's what matters, right?
A serious bravo for your achievement ... genuinely love it and appreciate it.

Andi Thanks Andi for taking time to listen and comment! I always like to try and keep my tunes under 4 minutes because I feel people just don't have the patience or attention span to endure long songs! That obviously doesn't apply to everyone but probably most listeners. Just my preference though and I didn't feel extending the song for the solo was worth it. Thanks, I appreciate it! T

Amazing. Stunning musicianship throughout. Great vocal and lovely work on the Backing vocals.
Superb guitar throughout (and all the instruments).
You've excelled yourself.
