This is a very good bit of writing here Jimmy.  Yes, a departure from what I have heard of yours in the past.  I like the arrangements and orchestration.  Very sincere and touching lyrics. 

Hi Mike - Thank you for the listen.  Yes, this style was a departure for me.  I just went with the idea and really didn't hold back.  I believe in the lyrics and truly hope this song can bring comfort to others.

Not what I was expecting at all. This was really well done and had a great sensibility about it.

I agree with the vocal resonance...maybe just add the Multiband compressor and pull it down 3db on a band centered around 500hz.

Hi James - thanks for the listen and nice comments and suggestion.  I will try your tip.  BTW, I also love listening to your songs and production.  Take care.

Rimshot - Well done.  Enjoyed the song, performance,etc...   Sounds pretty good to me, I hear some Jackson Browne in there too;)   I think your orchestration is just right.

Hi Mark - glad you liked the song.  I can't hear Jackson Browne as two or you have mentioned but that's a great compliment because I have always loved his work.  I bought GPO4 to learn for this song and have a long way to go but really enjoyed those new instruments.

This is a great tune! I like the melody and low and high climaxes. Everything a great song should be.

The lyrics though? Roll down a river? How are you going to do that?

Do you believe in Horus, Kreshna, Mythros, Dionysus and whoever else came before Jesus and who Jesus was plagiarised from?

I "believe" humanity will overcome it's shortcomings such as religion and this obsession with needing to possess material things and money. Ironicly all the things Jesus was supposed to have preached. So, am I going to hell?

This is beautiful, Jimmy!  You did all the parts?  And wrote it?  And recorded it in 8 hours?  That's incredible right there.  Very beautiful and heartfelt and well-done.  Thank you for posting it! 

Hi Janet!  Thank you so much.  I wrote it and layed the basic tracks in less 8 hours but I call that a day.  Then I spent days and days fine tuning, embellishing, and then mixing.  I work full time so I would get a mix done so that I could listen to it in my 30 minute commute to work.  

The video took a Saturday morning.  I was inspired to say the least!  I have received so much positive feedback on this song and by so many here on the forum.  This is such a good place to get good helpful advice.  
Thanks again.  Hope you are doing well!
