Very enjoyable listen. lots of orchestration to the mix, catchy lyricism and smooth guitar work nice synth. Great ambience and overall Really great classic progressive ballad sound. Not often to hear progressive style christian music and it is a shame, prog lends itself well to telling a grand story, and why not the greatest ever told. I found this to be reminiscent of Klaatu, Vangelis, Crack the sky, Al Stewart, Donald Fagen, and some others I am struggling to put my finger on. 1970's Prog ballad all the way through I would be very curious to know your influences? This really reminds me a lot of Vangelis and Klaatu in an almost eerie way

Hi Mike, thank you very much for sending your song for review. I like your song, very nice written and composed. The singing melodies are very nice and the voice is great for this song. The stereo field of the song is very good, I could hear everything in detail inside the mix, the lyrics are also very nice, and those riffs showing up now and then are great too. The tempo change is well done too. Keep it up Mike, many greetings from Germany. Alfredo from King Mambo

I love the retro vibe. The lead synth immediately takes me back to 1974. Then a straight forward crisp vocal in the tenor range to top it off. Active bass line also helps set up the vintage feeling to the recording. I hear some lyrics that are more spiritual; and that is a good thing. The switch over to a shuffle feel moves the song to a new plateau. There is an audience for this. Keep up the great work!

This has a real 80's flavor in your style with the synthesizer sounding like a remnant of Cars......then when you do the beat change, I felt like I was listening to Beatles "Sgt Pepper" .....anyway the bottom line is that we need as music speaking of Jesus as humanly possible at this time as we are in the darkest times that I believe this world has ever seen....The enemy is on the prowl and devouring so many its ridiculous.

Bei dem track muss sich die aufnahme ein wenig klarer anhören, es rauscht zu sehr. Und der Gesang muss ein wenig weicher klingen, der beat ein bisschen leiser bei der Aufnahme so das der Gesang deutlicher klingt. Bei der Stimme ist zu viel Hall drin so das es sich anhört als würde man in einer Dose hören, es würde mich freuen wenn sie es mit meinen Tipps probieren und es so neu aufnehmen. Es hört sich dann hundert Prozent besser an, Ich helfe gerne wo ich kann

Buenos días desde Jerez de la Frontera compañero! Tu tema tiene muy buena escucha, ese comienzo recuerda a lis míticos Camel, pero luego le siguen partes melódicas diferentes, aunque también mantienen la esencia, y en el sólo de guitarra con ese delay junto con las partes donde respira el tema vuelve toda la influencia. La mezcla es buena, y el tema en sí también guarda una estructura ideal para este estilo, o al menos, a mi me gusta. Felicidades por vuestro trabajo y os deseao toda la suerte del mundo en vuestro proyecto! Un saludo desde Andalucía!!!

This is a well put together and well produced song that creates a warm feeling in the heart. Like the syth riff. Mike has a great voice and a big heart. This is a good song that fuses a number of styles together. Deserves a big profile despite the religious message beneath the surface. Thumbs up!!

Mike Harty has written and performed a nice come-to-Jesus story song, with a classic '70's rock style. The lead guitar and synthesizer sounds are well done, and right in the style pocket, reminiscent of Boston and Orleans and Yes. The lyrics are obscured a bit by the bass, which is mixed way too loud, but I appreciate the fact that the lyrics talk about how much Jesus cares for US, not just for ME. I notice Mike is his own engineer. I made the same mistake for the first 5 or 6 years of my ministry. Then I hired a professional producer, and it was the best decision I ever made. The musicianship and mix on all albums since then have been miles better. You would think hiring a professional producer would be expensive, but I found that it paid back handsomely, in time saved in the studio, and worries off my shoulders. Keep up the good work!

"I heard the voice of Jesus how much He loves us "....in itself is the best message in this song. I love this soft rock 60's vibe with a bit of the Frankie Valley sound to your voice. Excellent bass guitar and percussion. The electronic vibes wiht the keyboard/organ (?) are essences of good vibrations reminiscent of the Beach Boys too. A gentle reminder to us who believe and a wondeful and powerful testimonial to those who still are in unbelief. Sound musicianship and excellent feel good vibes.

Good vocals, Old School 70s feel. Nice synth intro and backing track. Great quality recording, The melody line is very reminiscent of some early Boston vocal lines, Nice change in the bridge reminds me of another break from a classic rock band. Sweet base lines.

The music has some very interesting moments so this song has real potential. The use of modulation and the rhythmic changes show a level of sophistication that is above a lot of Christian pop. The lyrics here are problematic and show a need for development. I recognize that this isn't God inspired Psalms you're writing so I tend to not be critical theologically and let you develop with time but basic grammar... Could Have Been Anybody is the meaning you intend in the title. You sing it like a contraction, Could've but it's not Could of. The harder one to fix is the line, Just how much He needs us. Sorry. That one won't fly theologically even in a beginners group. There are lots more things you can tweak but as I said, I can let things pass that are artistic statements. Love the feeling behind what you're trying to do, and your musical execution, but you do need to step up the game lyrically.

Musically it moves however, the vocal is too far in the background for my tastes. The words are good but the vocals seem distant from the passion of it. Even though I like the song as a whole, it lacks dynamics changes and emphasis on phrases. I think that the song is too wordy. Try to pull out the most dynamic statements and push them hard with passion. The more words don't make a better song. If this is your first try at it don't let me discourage you. In fact, I applaud your valent effort. Go back to it and find 2-3 more songs in the lyrics and have a try at it if not just for learning greater depth of discipline in your songwriting. Another tip is to play it live and see what your audience thinks... then go back and really take a sharp knife to it and a pencil. Don't kid yourself you are a very talented player if you put this all together yourself. I would love to hear the results if you take my ideas and try them. Thanks Brother... just remember it is all for Jesus... give it the same passion as he gave us.

Aye beat is dope asf and great mixing done on track , so shout out to whoever your engineer was and keep doing your thang keep grinding keep putting in that hard work and stay consistent Keep doing your thang keep grinding bro you definitely have potential and the talent is there continue to make that real music you doing and you gone make it fam that’s my opinion keep working
