Well. What do I say here? This is good stuff my man.

I'm not a fan of CCM market but I'm WELL versed in it since I worked for a Christian station for seven years and I still listen it to it since we have K-LOVE here.

The song is good and I can see this being played on a CCM station. We do need to hear those vocals out front more and probably some strings near the end as an add to a build up on the tune. Maybe a few more added extras as the song moves on to keep the listeners interest but no so much to where it takes away from the vocals.

Don't feel like you have to be subtle. Create what the Lord is telling you to create. Obedience is better than sacrifice bruh. If someone doesn't like it because they feel it's being pushed down their throat, they don't have to listen to it. They can move on. The song will reach who it needs to reach which is the point.

God bless.

OK, listened again, the mix sounds really good although I think the drums could use a little reverb. The lyrics are good, vocals are good (pitch and tone) The bridge seems to blend in a little to much with the chorus. If your going to use a bridge there I'd make a more dramatic music change with the melody & arrangement. Over all it's a very nice song. How it rates in today's CCM market I have no idea but I think we're going to find out :mrgreen: Keep up the good work gl

Hi Tim,

I listened to your song and all of the others on your page, I love them all! If they don't go through I don't know what will. Are you interested in collaborating at all? Good stuff!

Your song is great and your performance is even better. This should get forwarded and signed...no problem.

Hey Everybody,

Thanks again for taking time to listen to this song. I am so glad that many of you like it. I wish I would have had more time to add a little more to the song but I just didn't. I will also try to bring the vocals up front a little more. I'm sorry it has taken me a couple of days to respond- I only have I-access at work and I only work every third day. Thanks again for all your help and time.

-Tim

Tim,

Again a beutifully crafted and performed song. My only nit is the bridge lyric - you're counting again, which you've stated already in the chorus. I'm just listening on a laptop, but it sounds like you've got some great sounds happening.

Cheers,

Scott
