Maybe You Should Have Titled it as a BS thread, "What Has A Baby Done For Me Recently." One of the things that I feel strongly about in gospel music is to bring the message into our daily lives in a way that we can all relate to. Steve Earle did that with Nothing But A Child, and you've done it beautifully in your song... I can just about sing it, as I read it. That's another sign of a good song... the words should give the rhtyhm, rather than being pasted on to it. I sing in a black male chorus, and the director has us speak the words of a new song before we sing it (and we don't sing from sheet music.) He wants us to hear the message without concentrating on the melody or our harmonies. In reading the words of a good song, you naturally slide into the rhythm. I can hear this done with a strong rhythm... or slow, too. Looks like I'll have to hear how you do it... Great song! Jerry |
