Recently, I added a new song to my music player called, "Always" which might be one of the best songs I've written so far. Tthe chorus was scored for an entire violin section, however, in studio, I had one violinist, Jan "Yes I Can" Sullins. I asked her to single handedly create the sound of a "Hollywood style" string section. This is almost like telling someone, "Please jump rope one handed 10 times while monkeys nip at your feet."
Lucky for me, Jan worked some magic and now you can hear it on track 1 in my music player. It's called "Always" and is from my upcoming album, "Awakening," to be released June 16th.

Thanks for adding us and for being our new friend! Remember...
'Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.' Ecclesiastes 4: 9-12
We just wanted you to know that we love you and we are glad that God has placed you in our lives.
I just stopped by to say hi . I hope you are having a good week. I hope you the rest of your week is fantastic! I wish you the very best in all that you do this week. You are awesome; thanks for your friendship!
As always, please be well!
Tim
I've listened to all four of your songs from start to finish :-) and here's my take on it.
This is not your standard 3 chord stuff. This is very thoughtfully wriiten with twists and turns all along the way which demonstrates great maturity. Modulations abound. The vocal delivery is great and captures the essence of the song. The production seems a good fit for the music you write. The writing style is laden with hook lines and the doubling of vocal tracks is cool. As a whole, it sounds like it could go crossover very easily.... which is a good thing.
There is certainly a niche for your material on the market.
