Johnbee58 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Very important message. People need to hear more of this kind of music. ?John B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garybrun Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 As a Christian myself... I got this one. I would suggest a little compression on the vocal as I cant always pick out what the lyrics are. I think its when you go into the lower octave. The guitars are quite powerful and maybe come down a little and the backing vocals out to the sides a little more would leave space for the main vocal. Once again ... well done. I always state this... but we all paint very different pictures... these are just my personal views and what I would have done and in no way is it meant to diminish the work you have done here. I am listening on Focal TRIO6 BE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl1968 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Hi Beags me old mate. Do you guys play live as I bet you'd be great to see? I liked this but it seemed to drag a little tempo-wise. It could do with speeding up a few bpm. Only my humble opinion - you know I love you and am coming from the right place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Same impression here as above. Lyrics could be compressed a bit for clarity (though not much) and the tempo could be picked up a few. Or make some cuts in the ending which is somewhat repetitive as is. Vocal is very good and guitar is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starise Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I liked this but it seems to be missing something I can't quite put a finger on. In a word "energy". That's about the closest I can come to explaining it. It almost sounds like a bored group to me. I'm sorry just being totally transparent here. Sing this like you really mean it! Add some fire to the recipe Open a can of whoopass on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I enjoyed the listen - I agree with some of the other guys about the tempo - it seemed to drag a bit. Cool lead vocal. Tasty guitar solo. No crits on the mix - it sounded fine to me. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike and I have played live together and we did play some of these songs, but it would be so much better if we all 3 could! I hear you on the tempo and of course everything you say in critique is taken in love because you're the love monkey! I'll consider upping the tempo, but that might be for a much later version - that would take a lot of rework. thanks so much for the listen and comments mate! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I really like the lead vocal on this song. I love that baritone sound. Some times that lower sound gets eaten up by the instrumentation but it comes through fine to me. I have mixed feelings about the tempo. I'm kind of thinking that it is OK and the energy of the song builds a bit as the vocals build toward the end. Great job and great to hear y'all Beagle! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the comments on the tempo, but I don't plan to change the tempo at this time. maybe at a later date. thanks for the vocal and guitar compliments!!!

I might increase the tempo at a later date, but I don't plan to re-work for tempo at this time. I do appreciate the comments on it, tho and it seems to be a consensus to up the tempo next time I work this. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
