I am an independent writer/performer/producer making summery sounds with lots of harmony, guitars, and emotion.
Brian Wilson said of his epic work Pet Sounds, "I wanted to make the listener feel loved." Those words have always remained with me and I hope to share loving, healing sounds with the listener as well.

BEAUTIFULL SONG.

Johnny,
This moving song has such a very strong melody. Very comforting lyrics about the only One who is the answer for our messed up lives. I also like this song for its lively guitar strumming, the key changes and the awesome bass sounds in the background. That bass is sweet Johnny! Well-executed vocals. I can hear the Folk music in this song. Another gem Johnny and thanks for your comments on my page. I was also awed when I heard Susan Boyle opened her mouth and sing. Music is powerful! I always look forward to your new songs! All the best.

IMHO, this is more of a Contemporary Christian sound, than of a 70's Folk Rock piece; mainly because of the added strings, and your unique style of singing.
This showcases yet another side of you I've never seen except in Hiding Place, Johnny. :) The childlike nakedness of your faith in Him that behooves us to approach Him as little children would.
It also shows you can stand on your own, even without the vocal harmonies you are so well known for. :D
Emotional delivery, strong lyrics, and a simplicity that only you could pull off most efficiently makes up this beautiful praise and worship song.
Your production is, as always, nearly flawless..(I only put the nearly part because you'll disagree with me if I say it's flawless). You always do and always say the good reviews you get are undeserved, when that is simply not true.
But, honestly, I don't hear ONE THING wrong with this production, Johnny.
And you EARNED every star I've clicked, know that. :D

Hi Sarge,
A beautiful song. Great performance. You really put out a great sound on all accoustic all the time. I like Dave really like that bass line. But... you are a master on the instrument. The lyrics are so honest and from the heart. A wonderful job. Now about those thugs. I am missing them ya know.

Mr Johnny,
I was thinking about you this weekend while working on music
wow ,this song is great as usual I love the way the bass moves inconjunction with the melody really really nice , nice acoustic too. I really like the contemporary arrangement this sound really works good for you.
nice touch that walk up in the bass and guitar between
the first few phrases . the change after the bridge when you sing " I need you jesus " is really nice . The blusey stuff you are working the arrangement is also really cool like clapton in so many of his pop/blues songs " baby if I could change the world " .....
