Hey guys...this is a stretch for me...it's an 80's sounding blues/rock ballad with some big drums (ala Phil Collins) and hopefully a hopeful message... the video is still in process but it is what it is at this point...so...if you do...thanks for listening and commenting especially on the mix...Dan

I love this song. Wow great composition, you are as good as Floyd Jane. Very impressive and you have a great voice. Awesome listening.

Great song, great vocals, great production. And a perfect video to go with it.
I would probably put a little less reverb on the vocals, but that's really nitpicking that can be ignored smile

Dan,
Very nice "big sound" ballad. Deep vocals, and excellent harmony changes. Good mix and listens well. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

This definitely has a big 80s feel. A very majestic sound. Superb vocal. Uplifting message.

Hi Dan,

Again a very strong composition with beautiful vocals!
it goes through marrow and bone, we would say in my country. And if that is the case, then it is very good!
I enjoyed it a lot, really a lot.

This is a great production in both the audio and the supportive video, Dan.

And it definitely has that 80's big and epic sound ... indeed.

It goes without saying that your fine vocals really beautifully interpret your fine lyric!

Firesong,

It might seem a stretch to you . . . but it sounds like an easy reach . . . which is to say outstanding. The production, vocal . . . the whole package works. Really like you use of the synths in the breaks. Good touches on the guitar fills as well. Terrific work!

All my best,

Deej

Dan, no matter what music genre you select you are one of the best gospel singers on the planet!

Loved the song
Loved the video
Loved the message


Unclear if the pianist is a total beginner or a professional jazz player?

What an awesome video Dan. Your voice is perfect for this genre. Such a delicate delivery for a super backtrack. Loved the organ break. Well done.

Dan,
You have an excellent voice; this big ballad is a showcase for that and the positive message comes through.
I liked the production and video as well.
Very good work!

Good song Dan. This production really showcases your voice well. Most importantly your message comes across well both in the sound and in the video. Is there anything you don't do well?! I really liked the keys in this too.

SO beautiful. Whenever I need the Lord's comfort, I know I can rely on your songs to be an intermediary towards it. So well produced, so well written, so well sung. You are a pro. Bravo.

(and your voice is full and strong ... you don't hide, vocally speaking!!! BRAVO :-) )

That B flat chord, and its subsequent progressions, in the coda ... superb :-) Also, very interesting ending, in the minor key ... unexpected but beautiful. Seriously well done.
