Now on my player.

Little tune written on the back of a lumber receipt off the floor board of my jeep about 2 am one morning.
Co written with Ray Jackson and NOISY KUNG FU.

Arrangement & performance by JERICHO MARCH

Good sounding song, although I don't care for the vocalist's rough growl, but that's just me!

Thanks for the input.

The growl is kinda of a gesture back to the original NKF version.

I agree with what mike is sayin... The guitars are good, the meter is good...But the vocal sounds strained, and honestly...the tac in it doesnt work...

I might also add... (and its just my opinion...) as a listener , (who is also a believer), my ear and artistic sensibilities can't reconcile a "bad - I'll kick your ass"" tone of vocal expression, to represent what should be powerfully ethereal..(Were talking about things that lead to glory of god). An angry sounding, puffed up voice is not really hitting the mark...But again, That's just my own opinion...I always try to imagine things from an artistic perspective...
I'm not saying you guys are wrong... I would just do it differently...

The song reflects the angst of a man struggling with his humanity.
As a believer, I'm personally rather tired of all that super sweet worship music. It's great for little old ladies, and back room sinners not willing to face the reality of their own true nature, but I don't believe it truly reflects the struggle between the old and the new.

Thanks for the input.
It's always good for an artist to hear how others interpret what they hear in a song.

George, that is my favorite song of you guy's! Great use of dynamics! You guys are doing so well I am very HAPPY for your band and you good folks! "Calling Out" is a beautiful song brother! Ya'll keep the great music coming!
