This is a song about overcoming "bullying" or belittling or just looking to God to help me make it thought another day. Again it is Contemporary Christian. Thank you for the feedback on my last song.

Words and Music Ken Mattox
Seventy Times Seven
Ken Mattox

How many times do I sit down and cry when they’re throwing stones
How many lies should I alibi when I’m all alone
How many eyes look beyond my life never weigh the toll
You keep saying seventy times seven

Make me a fortress, never give concession
Help me forgive seventy times seven
Open my heart and make it wide as heaven
You keep saying seventy times seven

How many days, when the skies are grey, do I turn the page
How many ways do I need to pray until they go away
How can I stay and keep the wolves at bay before my heart will break
You keep saying seventy times seven

Make me a fortress, never give concession
Help me forgive seventy times seven
Open my heart and make it wide as heaven
You keep saying seventy times seven

Hi Mattox!

Glad to see the lyrics this time! In addition to making your production more understandable to those who view it, it also helps us to offer our thoughts.

I liked the chord pattern and the way the lead parts worked with it.
I also liked the way the verses kept leading back to your title... very cool!
The ending sounded like it got clipped at some point in the production, but apart from that it was quite enjoyable!

Are you having fun with BIAB so far? Sounds like you are!

Thank you all for you feedback, and taking the time to listen to my songs. It is greatly appreciated.

I have to say, band in a box may be the most enjoyment I've gotten on a computer. I have been listening to the other music in this forum and the quality is incredible.

I am using band in a box and sonar x3. Trying to learn more about mixing., adding volume and cut down on clipping, so if you have suggestions, I am open to listen.

I will post Moore songs, and I will be listening to the songs you guys post.

Thank you,
Mattox

Ken,

Nice write on this. Well structured, simple, to the point, tight.

Good arrangement, nice mix.

I like your vocal. It has an "honesty" to it. You bring it down (just a hair) so that it sits in the mix a little more, which will bring your tracks more "into play" - they already sound good, but that would, effectively raise their volume a tad. There seems a little breakup of the vocal on a couple of words, so a 1 dB drop might be just the thing...

Good stuff...
