Get There "Brian Johnson" Contemporary Gospel -Recorded on SONAR X1a

Love the funky vibe, great playing and vocals. a really nice song IMO. 

My only crit might be to lower the stab by just a fraction, and the strings as well, I really noticed this right around 0.25 right before the first verse.   It's not as noticeable later, but it still might not hurt to turn down just a fraction.

Thanks, for sharing.

Nice clean mix. Not my genre, but it's funky in a good way. Lead vocal seems just a titch back. There is great separation in your mix, so I'd nudge the vocal a db or so. Other than that, real nice work.

Thanks Randy;
 
I think I will hit it a "titch" - I usually say a "frog hair" but we are definitely coming from the same place...
 
Will tweak accordingly....

Great voice!! And this sounds great all around.  I really enjoyed it. :-)

Thanks Janet for the feedback
 
 

no man,  this is a great tune....love it

and  YES  "Make Music, Make money"

I don't care if it's God's music or not...make money!  Do what you want with the money.  God's work might be a good choice. 

  Reading the remarks from others I can see the points made. So If I were to
imply that (I) think this is "just right, needs nothing" it wouldn't be meant to
say that "in my view" I "don't think" tweaks could be made. It's just that I
as a listener want to just play it, sit back and enjoy. That's what I'm doing
now so I just sort of "take it at face value".

  When I first started listening the quality, tone, performance and "everything"
was just sooooo nice. It would be like me saying to a music buddy "man check
this out" Those vocs are awesome and the "take six" type of harmonies are "nice".
When it first started playing I was like "WOW" Then as it went on I'm thinking
wow when another part came in. Then I like that next part too etc.
   It's a joy and a pleasure  to listen to.

great mix...enjoyed the tune but it was a bit long for me...just kinda lost interest for the last couple of mins.

A+ performance

not a big fan of the ending just dropping off...I think I would started fading @ 3:43 and been out @ 4:02

Good job!

For a christian song this one is very uplifting , nice vibe and beat .
Vocals sound great in this song too , nice job creating this song .
Oh I forgot the lyrics are the center piece in this tune , sends the listener straight to heaven as long as your not a bad boy or girl .LOL

Nice song . Radio

GuitarHacker (Herb):

Paul stated in 1 Tim 5:18: "The workman is worthy of his hire"  ... "Not greedy of filthy lucre" (Tit 1:7 and other places) ... both, IIRC, are applied to evanglizers, deacons, and / or pastors with utmost discreetion.  Paul (a tentmaker), IIRC, did not accept money for himself either ... groaning to not be a "hireling" or such.

As for hireling singers ... hirelings don't care for the sheep because they're hirelings (Joh 10:13).  Hirelings have their treasure on earth (not heaven) (Joh 10:13 and Matt 6:20)

Hireling *Christian* singers, etc. are not poor in the U$A.  God's poor are in Haiti and places outside the U$A.  Some, hustle Christ for a living ... full time; people have to survive and work, I understand.  They don't have employment like Paul did.  Still, they're hirelings who really don't care for their flocks ... else they'd work like Paul and give the gospel for free.  Actually, your/my FICA taxes help do what deacons did.  And the USA seems blessed ... without hireling Christians.

"Help with the gas you say?"  I have nothing against "helping with the gas".  Its the filthy lucre hypocrisy that I sigh and groan against, here.  "Gospel" is God's music, IIRC.  You witnessed "black gospel" in my latest songs (Devil's on My Soul, Heaven's Skate, and/or Big Blue Sky) and I hope: 

to refuse $$$ for anything Gospel (IMO, for the same reasons that Paul refused $$$ for the Gospel); that is an abomination to me currently, and, IIRC, the scriptures align.

Despite my hypocritical greed for fame and fortune, the sriptures state that the love of $$$ is the root of all evil ... IOWs, $$$ plus fame are the abomination I sigh and groan against for Christians.   *Christianity* suck$ big time. 

And U.S. Christian hirelings tend to waste alot of the filthy lucre thrown at them ... but rarely help God's devastated families in Haiti, etc.  And that my soul knows well.  'Tis our taxes and many agnostics that ministered to the Haitien poor  aka, Christ (Mat 25:37).

Enough of my dribble.  God bless you for chiming and supporting Mr. Listen.  We're all hurting on issues now.

Mr. Listen:

IMHO, you might be happy to compete at OurStage.com (Christian section) ... where artists share your paradigm of slinging for fame and fortune.  This might even make it in the top hundred in their Christian section ... despite its intolerable length, etc. ... since your hook is almost immediate (a good thing) ...

... where similar funky producer-loopsters abound ... with 'top-shelf' hip-hop producer-loopsters and rapsters ... with their 'top-shelf' Christian cliches ... battling against the non-producer loopsters, the CCMers, the cowboy christians (with their texas cowboy hats), the sensual album pictures, smiling faces, etc.  Many, IMHO, are subconsciously hustling Christ for their own glory.

"They have their reward" (Mat 6:16).

Wow great vocals!  Nicely recorded.  I am listening on ear buds...Granted nice ones, but ear buds just the same...

My only comment is the key hits panned all the way right and left come in too loud in my ear buds (scared me the first time and was ready to turn it down/off).

Other than that, I think the song jams!  I love funky gospel music! 

I will have to listen that way - never honestly thought how it would sound in buds..
