Thanks for the kind comments. I must have been bad during sedaya days hahahaa. Yeah the key change transformed the song. It was not composed that way. Good to know it does good.

I think i’m in love with ur voice…. ( dreamy sighs )

Leon said:

Yes I am the singer…..but I don’t think I sang well enough hahaa.

Leon said:

Yes I think it was PNP that it was first sung. Glad to know that you like it

Leon said:

This song I also like hehehe

To be honest, this is one of the songs that are more receptive to the audience of all ages…

Hey.. so when are you going to post the song that you wrote?

Leon said:

Haha I am afraid to post that one up just yet. This week perhaps……

just a few humble opinions…
i think the song started off with a peaceful feel.. the sudden change of drum beat from the 5th line (cont of first verse) makes the song mood change too suddenly.. i dont really know how to explain it in proper terms.. just feel that within 1 verse (since you said it’s continue so i assume it’s 1 verse), it’s too sudden and too drastic change from peaceful starting to totally different feel.. u know what i mean ar?

but anyway, a great composition. good job!

Leon said:

Thanks so much. I guess there is two different camps now. Some wanting a more peaceful feel and some wanting a more driving feel to this song. Interesting. I don’t know how it will turn out. We have sung in in our congregation. Each band has brought a different feel. Praying on how it will turn out. Pray with us

I would have preferred to start the song like how you ended it… with the acoustic strumming and the guitar playing a solo to build the ‘atmosphere’.

Thank you thank you! Ok will note your comment. But like I told Karl this is not the version we will release. This is just a demo. It is the song I hope people like

Leon said:

Hi Suanne! I surely would like to meet you one day. I’m surprised that you found my blog. I’m even more surprised that you like the song. Not that the song is bad or anything haha. It’s just a pleasant surprise sort of thing. I have informed Ps Meng Cham that you love it. About the other version…..I didn’t ask permission to post it so cannot. Hehe. Listen up for more and tell us your feedback ok? Thanks

No offence, the vocals are a little “draggy”. It’s not in your singing range, I understand.
Haha…

I’m know I’m in no position to comment, but hear me out, just take it as suggestions.

The first part where the drums came in with a sort-of R&B beat, the variations gave me sort of a “too-much” feeling. If you can give a simpler touch, I think it’ll sound better. Just my opinion. Like how the 2nd part of the drums came in, that would be just enough.

Ever thought of further building the song up?
Giving space for the instruments to produce a tighter feel? Some occasional emphasis maybe? (might end up being too fancy…haha…)

Yeah, so just my thoughts. Nice song overall, great lyrics with a good feel of music combined. Great job! Keep up the good work!

Leon said:

Haha Karl you’re listening to the arrangement and not the song. The arrangement is not even fixed. We are just doing this as to assist the musicians have a feel of the song. Overall this is not even close to what we want to release. It is the song that we want to see if people can relate to and worship with

Sorry for the lack of details in the entire arrangement and mix. We just worked on presenting something presentable. haha does that make sense?

Thanks for your thoughts.
