Thanks everyone for the great comments!  we appreciate all comments and all help you've given!

I didn't hear the old mix, but the new one sounds pretty good to me. A really nice, heartfelt song. Harmonies are great too, and the bass sounds are rich and creamy goodness. Thumbs up!

Hey Kevin,
 
Thanks for listening and commenting.  It's always helpful as a songwriter to know that you are connecting with what people like.  

I have uploaded to Sound Cloud a new version of this song.  Sean wanted to change his Solo slightly.  The new version is very similar to the old solo, he just change how the solo ends.  It sounds great to me.

This is a song I wrote several years ago.  I probably posted it at the Song Forums site, back then.  I asked the band if they would consider, "Scandalizing" this song and they said yes.  I stripped the song down to the original drum, bass and acoustic guitar tracks.  Everything else is new and fresh, including my Lead Vocals.  I love what Reece and Sean have added to this song and I feel it came out REALLY nice.  

Thank you both for taking this one on; it was one of my personal favorites.  All comments are welcome.  
 
Performed by Scandalous Grace:

Lyrics:
 
Verse 1:
Here I am again, hanging by a thread
Like a candle burning, brightly from both ends.
Like a puppet I am, dangling by a string.
Once again I’ve gone and, messed up everything.

Chorus 1:
Your love makes me feel like, I’m brand new.
When this world comes calling, all I really need is you.

Verse 2:
Wandering all alone; through the wilderness.
Looking for my home, in a place like this.
Guided by your light; trying to stay the course.
Like a compass pointing, upward to due north.

Chorus 2:
Your love makes me feel like, I’m brand new.
While this world keeps turning, I will tightly hold too you.

Lead:  2 measures.

Verse 3:
Here I am again, hanging by a thread.
Like some yeast that’s rising, from unleavened bread.
Make me new again, blemished by these stains.
Like a little child I’m standing in the rain.

Chorus 3:
Your love makes me feel like, I’m brand new.
As this world keeps turning, all I’ll ever need is you.

Very good I enjoyed listening to your song , sounds Christian .
Liked the music and your vocals , good one !

Thanks for listening and commenting, J.S. Glad you liked the song.

Nice song, gents! I agree with Herb on the guitar solo. Some of the notes seem off as well as the tone and style. I love the vocal harmonies.

Well written and performed song guys, mix sounds nice too.
 
I agree with Herb's comments;

The lead guitar is well played and quite impressive. However, the tone is not a good fit. The song is a mellow groove and the lead comes in with a shredder's tone... lots of highs. Relax, Sean,  get a warmer tone, and play from the heart. Make it pretty like the song is pretty. Flashy playing doesn't fit well in the solo. Think "Carlos Santana" vs "Satriani" ...
 
Right before the solo starts, I hear some instruments that sound out of tune. Easy fix.
 

A more melodic solo would suit the song much better I think.

Good job there gents!   Nice gently rolling rhythm, mix is solid, all around a pleasant listen.

James- Thank you for listening and commenting.  I believe that Sean is going to work on trying another Solo attempt,  based on your comments.  Glad you like the song.  
 
Steve-  I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment.  Glad you liked the song as well.
