Another new song by my mates and me!  Hope you enjoy!  All comments are welcome!

Michael Hanson: BGVs, Bass, Electric Rhythms, Lead Intro and bridge

Great worship chorus Beagle!  Better mix on this one too. Some 'shine' with mastering will sound good too. :-) You might want your other vocalists to align better with you. Takes a bit of work, but it's worth it for that 'cohesive' sound you'd like. 
 
Hope you're well!

Great song and performance as always Reece. Really outstanding on the vocals, especially the high notes! WOW! 
Keep on keepin' on!!! Enjoyed hearing this one! 

Great stuff Beags. You guys are the biz

Clawing
Still
 
In the same place I wallow
 
Surely, the strength lay within me
So on I stuggle
 
but it is one step forward
two steps back
 
and just
when it seems
my grip shall be loosed
an outstretched hand
beckons
 
with what little nerve I have left
so my hands rises to meet
and with the strength of mountains personified
you hoist me to safety
 
and the precipice is no more
 
with no other recourse
into your arms I collapse
and to the safety of whenever forever
you nurse my iniquities
till again my aspirations aspire
and I abandon the hut on the peak
to scale the mountain alone
 
again
as is my lot
not quite making it
you still come to my aide
 
and like a wayward son
I succour in your graces
 
were it not that I could free myself from the foolhardy adventure
I would stay in your peace forever
 
but I am a man
and you are shining light
 
Nice song

Seriously Jesse....I hope you are working on the chords for this.  This needs to be put to music.  

I apologize for even commenting Reece considering you replied to everyone but me. Hey man, I have nothing against you, and maybe you do towards me because of the past and some bad times I had with replies I made toward everything years ago. That's okay, I wish you the best man. 
 
I meant well, and what I said I really meant. But apparently you were looking to hear the critics who said nothing but point out FLAWS in your song and singing in a way to try and use them to improve your song. I understand, that's okay. I wish you well always because even though I don't know you, never met you, religion aside, you seem like a genuinely good person with all the help you have took the time to give to others over the years. 
 
Apologies all around for just replying. Wish you the best!

Bobby - I'm working on a revision based on some of the comments above but I haven't had time to finish the revision because I've been very busy with other things that unfortunately take priority over fine tuning this mix.  I haven't responded to you or several people on here yet because I haven't had time to fix the mix, so I didn't see any point in responding until I had something to respond with.
 
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.  It was not intentional.
 
for everyone:  I'm working on making some minor adjustments based on the comments and suggestions.  I'll post a new revision as soon as I am able.  April is a very busy month for me!
 
thank you very much everyone for commenting and suggesting!   I promise they are all well received and not ignored!

Apologies to you Reece! I'm sorry, I have been off the forums for a long bit of time now and forgot how these song post go. No offense meant. Honestly I think you are the best singer on here because you have a pure voice and are not someone trying to reach levels they can't. JUST MY OPINION. 
 
Either way, I look forward to hearing your new version, and to be honest the mix you have now after hearing it a couple time : "I LIKE IT!". Because it does have a raw sound. 
 
Analog sound = RAW SOUND in my opinion. I grew up listening to vinyl records and even to this day I think it's the best. There's nothing anybody can do with digital manipulation to make anything realistically sound like a VINYL record. Yeah they can use frequencies and call it that, but it will never capture the real sound of ANALOG sounds. Just my opinion. 
 
Always great to hear you sing and perform Mr Beagle/Reece! You have done so much to help others over the years with Daw Issues and other things on these forums. Especially me!
 
Thank you sir! And however you re-do this one, where your voice goes, my advice would be just add an EQ and raise the treble and lower the middle and keep the bass as is. JMO. 
 
Take care man! Keep on KEEPIN ON!

Nice tune mate, well done

Reece, as stated above, your strong point is the catchiness of your choruses and refrains.  I like the lead guitar tone in this, but the one thing that stands out, for me, above all others is the passion in your voice.  That trumps everything.  That and what Jesse said.

Lynn - high praise from you my friend!  this also made my day! telling a singer that the passion in his voice is the ultimate compliment, IMO!  thanks!

philz
Nice song guys, and it's well played by all.  IMO the vocals feel over compressed and too far out in front of the track.  I think if you back them off some you'll get a better overall sound.  Just my opinion.

Thank you Phil!  I appreciate your comments and I have made some adjustments to the mix and would glad to hear your opinion on the new version!  glad you liked the song and performances!
 

SiTheMon
Nice tune mate, well done

Thanks so much SiTheMon!!  

Hey Rik,
 
Thanks for listening and commenting.  Sean and I have been enjoying, trading off on solo's lately.  The double solo on this one was fun.  I agree with you, Reece's vocals sound great on this song.  

Really well done all the way around, guys... good one!
