THERE'S STILL ROOM LEFT FOR YOU

This started out as an experiment with some new software and developed into something a little more. It's a bluesy Gospel tune that is very different from anything I've posted here! I will be tweaking this for quite a while, but I have it to a place where I feel comfortable posting it! Thanks once again for giving my music a listen! I truly appreciate it!

A technical note: Some of you may notice that I used the BIAB vocal oohs which are EV tracks in a 6/8 swing pattern. I made it work by splitting the audio track between every phrase and cut it down to fit.

There's Still Room Left For You
Words and music by
Torrey Bliss ©2022

You messed up the deed is done
You wanna turn the page
Yet it's been etched deep in stone
Still some just won't let it go
They condemn your soul
And say there's no hope for you

Oh come to the Savior who's waiting
With arms reaching out
Yes He will embrace you
Oh I do believe that in heaven
There's still room left for you

Your past just keeps hanging on
It won't leave you alone
Stuck under that cold dark cloud
It's time that you tried something new
Shake off those old blues
Listen to me please believe

Oh come to the Savior who's waiting
With arms reaching out
Yes He will embrace you
Oh I do believe that in heaven
There's still room left for you

Torrey testifies...
this has a solid gospel leaning without taking on the whole package with instrumentation - it remains Torrey Blissful.
Your cadence is unique and you're ace with melody as well as instrumentation.
The lead is lovely - spot on.


Cheers

Torrey...I think 6/8 time is still the best way to present gospel music and you did a great job...you always do such a tasteful rendition of whatever you're presenting and this is no exception...I love the sync of the whole piece and I agree with rayc about not over producing the package...you know I love the message...reminds me of "There's Room at the Cross for You" except the song is nothing like that smile...I always look forward to your next post...thanks Torrey.

Hi Torrey,

Yes I also love the 6/8 timing - suits the song and genre perfectly.

I particularly liked the singing and lead break.

Best Regards

Nice tune. "There's still room left for you" - good hook line. You mixed everything well. Good use of the band too, especially that electric guitar during break.

Nice one Torrey. Elvis Costello-ish.
I hope that's a compliment.

Hi Torrey
You always manage to interpret different styles of music in your own way.
You do it really well
Because this makes your music interesting for many more people
The song is very sensitively played with a great sound
Your singing is absolutely on point
Just like your great guitar playing
Very nice song, Torrey
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Very cool intro Torrey. Loved the dip into the minor chords. Gave the song such a cool vibe. The timing on those descending chords was perfect. Very difficult to do. Guitar was awesome as well as the vocal. Really really well done..

"Oh, it's the truth."

Amen. The intro, the build to the chorus, the guitar solo, the drums into the final chorus - this is excellent. laugh

I really like your vocal - it's a good register for you, and to be honest, I didn't really recognize your voice until the high notes, because that's where your voice is most distinctive (sort of like Eric Woolfson in that regard).

Good write, too.

Someone mentioned Elvis Costello, and the pedal guitar reminds me of his "flirting with country" phase.

But mostly, it's a good Gospel song with a positive message, and that's what I enjoyed the most about it.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Yes, definitely different for you, I didn't recognize your voice at first. I got a Paul Simon with the Dixie Hummingbirds feel to it, too bad you can't hire an entire choir. Another great job and I would be surprised with anything less. Really enjoyed it!

Torrey,

Excellent.

A strong write. Good vocals (as always). BGVs, too.

The mix is really well balanced. ALL the instruments are strong and clear. The vocals are perfectly placed in the mix.

The piano sounds great. Drums sound great. Bass is smooth and supportive.
Nice guitar work (of course).

Good stuff, start to finish. Well done. Excellent Music.

Different, but in a good way. Nice gospel tune with very positive mood.
Lovely to hear those beautiful chords played with the piano. And the interplay with the guitar solo and the bass is very enjoyable. Excellent vocals really shine in this light arrangement.
