THERE'S STILL ROOM LEFT FOR YOU (with Angelo Napoli on guitar) Angelo Napoli (Angelomusic) recently contacted me after listening to my song, reposted here, and said he liked it and would like to have a crack at doing the guitar work. I had previously listened to some of his playing and already knew that he is a highly skilled musician and was glad to step back and let him give his take on this song. Our styles of playing are very different but what he has done on this works very well in my opinion. I would encourage anyone who listens, to stay tuned at least through his solo in the middle (it's a beautiful thing). Angelo never at any time made me feel like my playing was not good enough. He had a humble and gracious attitude throughout the whole process. I know many of you listened to this song recently and I thank you for giving it another spin! I won't be replying to any comments here, I will let Angelo do that this time. Thanks, T BIAB - Vocal Oohs EV 85 Me - Vocals, Organ and Piano Angelo Napoli - All Guitar Fills, Rhythm (in the chorus) and Solo Main Piano, Bass and Drums tracks created with Toontrack products 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 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

Did I mention how good the piano sounds, Torrey? Angelo sounds really good in there. Yes, very different from your style, but so good. That also says something about your ability to write such good songs. Yes, if Time & Space applied to Heaven, wow, would it be crowded. Such a good song so well done.

Hello all! First and foremost I would like to express my gratitude to Torrey for his trust and for allowing me to play on his tune that I loved so much! I really enjoyed our interaction, Torrey is very friendly and professional and the whole experience was a real pleasure. I made some proposals and let him decide what he wanted to keep. My view is that this is his song and as I told him I'm only a servant to his creativity. Thank you Torrey! Did I mention how good the piano sounds, Torrey? Angelo sounds really good in there. Yes, very different from your style, but so good. That also says something about your ability to write such good songs. Yes, if Time & Space applied to Heaven, wow, would it be crowded.

fj Thank you so much Floyd! Coming from you (whom I highly respect, your stuff is always awesome and you are so skilled) really touches me.

This is what happens when two very talented musicians get together!
Excellent piano, guitar, and mix. Loved the lyrics also.
You both should be very proud of this one
Loved it.

I was so pleased to see this post... I adore this song as well as your singing & playing. I was not disappointed at all... Angelo Napoli's treatment of this was terrific... killer touch & tone.
Absolutely beautiful work gentlemen...

A different take, a different expressive style, a different perspective.
Angelo's augmentation is really cool and fits the song really well.
Then again I love your guitar work on the song Torrey.
Yep, the piano part if fabulous and the vocal performance, melody and expression are wonderful.
Cheers

Still a great song, so I'm more than happy to hear it again.  Angelo's guitar solo is... something else. I was expecting something a bit more subdued, and he took it beyond 11! To me, it was a bit of a mismatch, but I've got pretty conservative musical tastes. So who cares what a fuddy-duddy thinks? But it was a blast to listen to! You guys are both great!

Loved it. Thank you Mario, you are so kind. I totally agree with you, Torrey's tune is special (my Christian roots certainly don't help not being biased haha) and provides comfort in some current very dark times.

At first I had kept the "soft sound" for the solo that I used for the fills. Then I felt more in the mood of Marty in "Back to the future" (the concert scene where he plays guitar and goes wild, hehe) and picked the other sound to spice the tune up and create a climax at this moment of the tune. I'm sorry it didn't sound right to your ears. Thank you for your feedback, they are all appreciated!

That's exactly what came to mind. To me, it's a bit like doing a cover - you can either be true to the original, or chart your own course. And if you're going to do your own thing, it's far better to commit fully to doing it your way, instead of doing a version that's neither one nor the other. That sort of thing makes no one happy.

Music is all about choice and elimination. You test things then you eliminate and chose. That's exactly what I did for the solo section about what sound to pick. Moreover, having contributors to your piece of music is also allowing other universe to blend with yours. And for that I am grateful for Torrey for his trust and open mind. None of Torrey or I felt like we were not respecting the original. As a matter of fact he displayed his satisfaction in his introductive post about this version (solo included) and I did the same. So we have here both participants happy about the collaboration. You are perfectly entitled to your opinion though, that's the beauty of a forum where everyone can share his view, and I thank you for that.

Andi ;-) Thank you PROJECT M! I loved to collaborate on Torrey's music. He has a real talent indeed and his pieces of music always give me melodic ideas (this one but also the latest one he released on the forum which I really loved too!).

We enjoyed both versions.
You and Angelo took different guitar paths but ultimately to the same place.
Very nice!

Angelos guitar was a very nice add to the song. Piano was really cool as well. Super vocal and backtrack. Well done...
