Hello, my friend, this song is just as well done as the others Ive heard, with the same distinctive voice. I respect everyone who creates music - music's purpose is to move others, make them feel something that we, as the authors, might feel, and so, even if just for a few moments, brings us all closer together. kowing that,one can see how that might go a long way toward healing the world of some of its suffering. I have suffered my share, and I struggle everyday with a leg injury that has altered the course of my life, and sometimes its hard to maintain faith. But the Big Guy Above always sends something my way to comfort me when I need it most. Your last song was exactly that for me, so Im now thanking u properlyanyway, i sent u an email. Please keep ur music and its message coming, its important that we have folks like u among us. Thank u for sharing. - Aaron

I am sorry to hear about your struggles with your leg injury. Its inspiring to see how your faith remains strong through it all. I believe music can indeed help us feel closer to one another and, more importantly, to the One who guides us through lifes challenges. Ill continue to do my best to keep sharing messages of hope and faith through my music.

hello Richard, nice to meet you and your music.
so catchy and uplifting, this is good work my friend.
love that synth sound you bring in at 0:52 and also the one at 1:10. subtle but very effective.
the mix really speaks to me, i can tell every element is well considered and fits beautifully.
your vocals are very well recorded and mixed as well, it's a joy to listen to everything coming together.
you are an excellent singer, musician and engineer, my friend.
take care and all the best to you,

Hi Savino,

Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate your attention to detail; those synth sounds are definitely some of my favorites too. I might not know much about sound theory, but I trust my ears and embrace a lot of trial and error! I'm always learning and open to gaining more knowledge from people like you.

My vocal experience comes from singing in a small community choir from 1991 to 1996, and its been quite the journey since then. It means a lot to hear that the mix resonated with you. Your support truly inspires me to keep creating. Wishing you all the best!

Take care,
Richard

Hi Richard - very catchy - I found myself singing along to it straight away. The music is a perfect fit. "Bread of Life" is a killer line - I love it - this should be performed live at peace concerts - Kay0s

incredible voice my friend, im not a believer, i faced to many painful battles, with that it includes the murder of my mum, but i have what would be considered a good spirit, i believe in good, i speak up for the voiceless and rap/sing of suffering and pain and a heap of inequality, im also political, i have no issue how people express their beliefs or religion if it brings them piece of mind, music is a uniter of many that is the true Gospel it doesn't ask them questions, it makes you ask yourself questions, this was a delightful piece to listen to, honest warm and friendly great composition and wonderfully played, a delight to see something new in featured spreading a good message that many will find reassuring my friend, very well done

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words; they truly mean a lot to me. I can only imagine the depth of the pain youve experienced, especially with such profound loss as the murder of your mother. Its truly admirable that, despite facing such difficult battles, you maintain a good spirit and advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves. Your commitment to addressing suffering, pain, and inequality through your art speaks volumes about your character and resilience.

I wholeheartedly agree that music serves as a powerful unifier, transcending barriers and inviting us to reflect on our own lives and beliefs. Its heartening to hear that you find solace and reassurance in pieces that convey a positive message. Your openness to different forms of expression, whether they come from beliefs or experiences, showcases a remarkable level of empathy and understanding.

Im grateful for your thoughtful response and for recognizing the intention behind the music. Its a joy to creat

Yes, I handle everything: the beat, the lyrics, and the vocalsboth lead and backup. From the initial idea to uploading the final piece, its all done by yours truly. I use FL Studio for the instrumental and Adobe Audition for vocal recording and mixing, then I switch back to FL for mastering using Ozone 11. Ill continue to share some of my work here; I hope you enjoy them and can also guide me on some!

This guitar and pluck melody compliments the vocal melodies very well. I think this is a great track. I found myself waiting for a big high energy chorus though using the same melodies maybe having the vocalist belt out some higher energy vocals during that part also. Just my opinion. Like I said though its a great track either way! Well done.

Description : This is my little 16-bar sketch of a Soul-style track... my purpose in making this was to experiment with Melda's MDynamicEQ, which allows you to remove resonances, and to apply EQ's from one track to another. I even EQ'd this thing to sound like a 70's jam.

Description : Here is another track we are currently working on for my forthcoming album, "Songs from the Closet, Vol.1"

Ed Cunningham was gracious enough to provide this composition to me for which I'm grateful. It's a groovy track and the lyrics, for the most part, wrote themselves. My project co-producer and I are working out the vocal arrangement. As per usual, this track isn't mixed. I repeat, it is a rough vocal and isn't mixed. I hope you enjoy the listen!

Description : I actually love the slight imperfections in the muzic, the slight imperfections in the vocals. As long as it’s ok with nln1 I will allow downloads, but even then I would prefer a better mix. For now, enjoy Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel.

I would be willing to send the accapella if you are willing to play in same key, same tempo, some similar version as here. Just message me. :-)
