That starts off really nicely. What delicious harmony.

Love this.

Dan,

This is an excellent production. I agree, Kevin's vocal is a perfect fit for this piece.

Nice work as always.

Dan, stellar as always. Super vocal arrangement, and the different voices blend to great effect. Love the BiaB baritone and other instrument choices on this. Mix is great, too. You make this look SO easy!! Great song.

Dan,

You've got a radio ready hit here!
You have totally impressed me with how you've mastered this synth vocal stuff so quickly!
Again, you have written a soul edifying track that speaks tons to anyone who gives this a spin!
I feel you made a lot of great instrumentation choices here!
Be encouraged brother, you are making a difference in this world!

Thanks, TB

Your writes are always solid. Add this to that list.
You are just as solid with your production and use of BIAB.
Solid.

Duh. Jesus is everywhere, right? Haha I like (with a little concern) how you are personifying these synths. Still you get along so well with them. I love this whole production. Outstanding mix. Those harmonies are crafted by a master craftsman. Glad you gave them an a cappella (almost) space. Another terrific composition and production, Dan. Always inspirational.


Enjoy whatever happens!

If you hadn't told me, with a superficial listen, I would not have picked the vox out as synth created. When listening closely, there are a few lyrical phrasings that give it away but they are very minor. IMO, the vocals do a great job bringing life to your songs, Dan! Continue praising the Lord as well as you do cuz I think we need it more than ever these days!

Wonderful contemporary gospel sound. Rich harmonies! I like that acapella part with percussion only. Strong chord/harmony to end the song.

Hi, Dan.

Hayden gives an excellent performance here, and the arrangement works really well.

Nicely done!

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

The acapella part was an excellent idea that was very well executed indeed.

It must take the patience of Job smile to work out those harmony parts ... especially the humanizing aspects of it.
Nice mix --- the drums sounded clean and "popping" in the mix.

Well done all around and as you said, "music at its best is full of Harmony...and so is life."
We could not agree more!

Thanks David...but that was Kevin...maybe that's why Hayden sounded so good...don't tell him I said that!
