Well, It seems that one of the threads is full of confusion, so I thought I would post this piece to help ease some pain and suffering. No one is perfect and we all fall short of the glory of the Lord. There is no need to ridicule others, before we look deep into the mirror of life at ourselves. We can always do our very best to try and love one another for who they are, understanding that no one is perfect, as we all make mistakes, some more than others in this and some in that. When we get frustrated we can always find "Hiding Places".

Hi John, very nice sounds, I enjoyed listening, I feel calm now ; )
 
Rik

Outstanding arrangement & production... I would love to know how you do this with samples... are you able to transpose the pitch and length of the samples? what software does that?

Rik, Thanks for listening and glad you enjoyed this one and that you are now calm.

Frank, Thanks for listening and for your comments, they are much appreciated. As for being able to transpose the pitch and length of the samples, I use Sound Forge Pro 9. I can even change what chord I want to use, stretch time from 0-100 in either direction and change the pitch to what ever pitch I choose. Sound Forge has now come out with Pro 10 and Pro 11. The new things in 11 I already have through Izotope. Also, there are many things you can do in Izotope Ozone 5 Pro, so nothing is impossible when it comes to samples. I make some samples in Acid Pro 7 and save them as samples. Remember, I use samples and loops from several companies that are royalty free when you buy them. Also, using EWQL Complete Composer with my keyboard I can even make more loops and samples or complete songs. I have an arsenal to work with and I love it.

I like what you've done here. There's room for improvement as far as using some more tense chords here and there. Still, a very nice bit of work here.
 
As far as your post though. I feel the same way other than the god part. To me, prople have to much faith in god and not humanity. Sadly, having no faith in humanity is having no faith in god. Besides, we are destroying ourselves by not respecting the gifts he gave us. That is the saddest of all facts. Judging by what you said in your first post though, you seem to know who god is even if he does exist. There are such an immeasurable few like you.
 
I enjoyed that!

Guitarpima. Thanks for listening and for your comments, they are much appreciated, and glad you enjoyed the bulk of the piece. Someday if and when I can come up with a video, I will most likely add to the piece, but not till then. I won't know what to do musically until I know where in the video I have to add, subtract, lower volume and so on. I just do a basic piece that can be ready until it is needed.
 
As for the God thing you would have to email me to talk further, as this isn't the place for a long discussion on the subject, but I do appreciate you comments on the song. Again, thanks for listening.

Thanks for the comments and for listening to this piece. I'm sending it back around for one last time for those who may have anymore input on the final mix.
 
Peace and Blessings, John
