Dan (& Buddy),
A very solid write.
Very solid vocals (and harmonies).
A nice arrangement/production.
Well mixed.
(the drums are a bit "wimpy" for my tastes)

Hi you two.
It's a nice sound and vocal.
Three things, from my point of hearing stand out.
The bass seems to lose notes here and there and the vox and drums need to come up a DB or two.
Almost there.

I'm really enjoying your project, Dan. These songs are wonderful. Man, such strong vocals and always a positive and strong message. What about The Bible Album by Dan Simmons & Buddy Sutton (you can skip Numbers and Deuteronomy, of course  )? Seriously, you are both entertaining and inspirational. Thanks for sharing the gifts.

Very nice Dan. Sounds as though you've got a good writing partner there. I might have used a few more fills or a few more lead instruments during the course of the song, but I have a tendency to over do it - and you wouldn't want anything to get in the way of that writing.

That was a really catchy song and very professionally mixed and mastered. I really enjoyed it and the Outlook style was perfect. Dermot (from Ireland)

Another winner. Loved the song, the vocal, mix, and of course the lyrics. I do have one suggestion, get to work on the other songs as post them as soon as they are finished 
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

You and Buddy are a good team, Dan.
This lyric is very good and your stellar vocals, the band and mix certainly do it justice.
Your style choice was perfecto for the lyric and melody.
Well done!

Sounds excellent, good write. Nice melody, easy on the ears. I agree that the drums could have more punch. As a rule, I think songs are stronger when the chorus is instrumentally distinct from the verse. Perhaps that's true here, too.

Dan,
Love the message here! Once again, you've delivered lead and background vocals that are as good or better than anything posted in the forum or anywhere else for that matter! Everything sounds great to me! I am in the louder drums camp with Floyd, but if the lighter sound is what you were going for it's still ok! I know back in the early days of CCM the lighter drum sound was prevalent in a lot of songs!
Thanks, T

Hello Dan (and Buddy),
A very nice, emotional song you made once again.
your vocals are very good, as always and the band does a good job.
The lyrics were written very well, although I have a little difficulty with god as the saviour.
I think we need to take more responsability ourself to change our world.
Perhaps it's already too late?
But don't bother responding to that. I told you I like your songs, but am not religious. That's all.
I enjoyed it and didn't hear technical nits...
Hans

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."
