New Song: Merciful
8 replies
Always looking for feedback, any thoughts? It's just a demo, but I'm hoping to put the song on the new album.

It look's like you don't have Adobe Flash Player installed. Get it now.

i really like it man! could you post the words? this is great as its not just a guitar and your voice its like a full song ! keep it up !
Wow. That's a big stadium you're singing in! ;-) Thanks Samuel. Would be beautiful during a ministry time. When you come to recording it it would be lovely to tie down the strumming groove a bit. It seemed to me to swap between a straight beat and a slightly lilting one at different times. Well done. Refreshingly peaceful. Mart
I love the simplicity of this song. Anything more would have been too much. and you have a great voice with the ability to add expression to the words you're singing. would love to hear some other stuff. Would be interesting to see how a string instrument like the cello would add to this but the current support behind the guitar suits the song as well.
wow this sounds amazing, I agree whith elikem I would be interested to hear maybe a old hammond organ swell in the background but it sounds amazing I think the simplisity is what realy gets it. Jeremy

Thanks guys, here are the lyrics. I'm taking in all your ideas for the recording. No doubt Hammond will be in there... it usually is. Some Cello would also work well. You're right about the reverb too. Think I may have overdone it on this demo a little bit! Thank you. G Gsus Em So merciful, so merciful to me C G D/F# So merciful to me C Am I'm forgiven, I am forgiven G D/F# Let that truth sink into me Jesus C Am I can come to You, with confidence G D You're gracious to me when I am less If I remain in you, You'll remain in me You'll be faithful for eternity You know my weakness, but you show me goodness More good than I could ever receive La la la la.... I am saved
Hey Samuel, Ahhh takes me back hearing some of the older vineyard albums I own hearing your voice again :) Great song, Can really imagine this being sang over people. Simplicity is it's strength.
Yes. Really good. Wonderful voice. But most of all, a heartfelt cry of praise. Thanks for sharing it and I hope the album is going well. Fin
