Hey all,

Looking for feedback at this point. Going to re-cut lead VOX....Will be adding BGV's and contemplating a full string section in the second Chorus following the single string....There will be BGV's in that Chorus too

This was done on a TASCAM DP24 Digital Recorder, No DAW or automation....

Just want opinions on this particular version to work out any kinks I may be too close to. Feel free to dissect it, as I am open at this stage of the process. Comments on song, arrangement, my mix etc. are all welcome, including likes and dislikes.

This is the time to fine tune the tune...

Any thoughts?

Some people live their lives afraid to give God a chance
They say I’ll change tomorrow then tomorrows pass
After all that I’ve been through for me there’s no other way
But to live my life for God each and every day

I’m gonna live my life serving Jesus day & night
I’m gonna live my life serving Christ

Some people try to say life has passed me by
Why don’t you live it up today while there’s time
As for me and my house we will serve the Lord
In me there is no doubt for me there’s no return

I’m gonna live my life serving Jesus day & night
I’m gonna live my life serving Christ
It’s my choice what I do serving Jesus is the way of life I choose
I’m gonna live my life serving Christ

It’s my choice what I do serving Jesus is the way of life I choose
I’m gonna live my life serving Christ
Serving Christ……Serving Christ…….

Nice groove. You could do a better vocal take. You have a tendency to go flat on held notes. The levels seem pretty good to me. Vocals are out front and lyrics are clearly heard, as they need to be in this genre. To me the arrangement is a bit lacking in excitement. I'm not sure that a full string pad would remedy it, but adding harmony vocals as you mentioned might be just the ticket.
