WHEN DOES HEAVEN START

 

V1

I don't curse the damn year I was born 

But I've seen my share of violent storms  

Avalanches piled on top of hurricanes 

How long must I wait to rise again

pre

A man can take only so much punishment

Getting hit from all sides by judgement 

 

Ch

When does heaven start and hell end

See the white flag 

Lord I’m ready to transcend 

The crimson and the brimstone  

gone on long enough

No more winters of discontent

And summers of youth misspent

When does heaven start and hell end

v2

I hear peace can be found on earth 

But thats only in a stained glass church

When I walk out those bronze holy doors 

There's the world I'm cuttin off devil horns

pre 

Turn this lake of fire into paradise

Blessings prayers gospel highs  

Ch

Bridge 

One day angels will take me on that final ride 

Their silver wings opening wide

Like angelic pictures in the sky

Off will fly

    brimstone? its usually related to whats in hell

    the cliche is fire and brimstone , Bit of a Baptist relgion thing your going to hell if you don't follow Jesus

    Thanks

    really impressed!!! What a good job with music, vocals, guitars and so deep lyrics!!

    I think the protagonist of the story was rising as he was releasing his words. @ElvisNash

  • Well we got 4 million writers on this now , So resing it in 2 weeks

    I'm not going make everyone happy lol

    Thanks

  • @ElvisNash . . . I think you changed the link . . . but I was able to find a newer version on your SC channel

    . . really enjoyed the listen ! . . . seems you've always got that very pro recording, and also some great backup harmonies in this one, I think you are a very seasoned and accomplished songwriter, most inspiring, thanks for posting here.

    That wanted more anger

    Thanks , I have been at it awile . So hell is hell , so go there more


    I curse the day I was born

    I've survived my share of storms

    Avalanches piled on top of hurricanes

    How long must I wait to rise again

    A man can take only so much

    Adjust my attitude... Ha, who are you to judge

    Ch

    When does heaven start and hell end

    See the white flag

    Lord I’m ready to transcend

    The crimson and brimstone

    Choking me too long

    This feels like close to death

    I hope it’s not too late to repent

    When does heaven start and hell end

    V2

    I hear peace can be found on earth

    But life’s not lived in a stained glass church

    In the ring of a lonely steeple bell

    I hear the world ain't doin' so well

    Ravens surround me on every side

    Their wings like black flags in the sky

    Ch.

    Bridge

    One day angels will take me for a ride

    To the clouds, to start my endless life

    And no one will ever wonder why...

    if I knew how to use pro tools I'd have a mansion on a hill by now , but does that really matter at 70 years old , Well not really

    Besides its more fun at a studio and bad jokes with a producer , Usally on my part .

  • Hi @ElvisNash


    I don't know if it's an issue my end but I'm getting 'this song is unavailable'?


    Gladly listen when able. 👍️


    Cheers,

  • Yup, I can't hear this either. Look forward to it when it's there.😀

  • https://soundcloud.com/elvisnash/when-does-heaven-start-mix-2-1


    Its being resung on the 30th , The song has decent bones , So try again , See if its any better

  • Another good song @ElvisNash - if I had one nit it would be I'm not a huge fan of the drum snare - feels a little busy and distracting but I guess that's a personal thing. The Chorus is great and grows as the song progresses. The backing vocals are great - alongside your always on point vocal. It will be interesting to hear how you sing it when you go again. 👍️

    I could ask producer on snare , Not that I'm fond of singing it again lol. Salvage some harmonies .

    Well we could crack more jokes on the world in studio , all that jazz

    Thanks

  • They'll probably get sick of drum machines in 10 years , hire real drummers again , Who knows

  • If AI doesn't get so good it can accurately replicate a human drummers instincts - probably already can. AI Ringo is probably being booted up as we speak.

    Right , Bring on Ringo and not robots lol. In 30 years robots will write all the songs , Push a button a love song , WA LA , it analizing every hit then replictes all of them . That when heaven starts and Hell ends

    The lyrics are really quite beautiful and lyrical, but listening to it I do feel like sometimes the tone of the vocal melody doesn't seem to match exactly with the tone of the lyrics. Like if I tune out my brain and don't listen to or read the the words, the track sounds too upbeat and happy by comparison to the gravity of the lyrics.

    I'm sorry that I'm not more knowledgeable about my music theory, but I feel like it needs a more minor or bluesy tone, though I'm honestly not sure what key the song is currently in.

    Well my knowledge which ain't much , the majors use upbeat tracks to a downer song , If it was sleepy , It be to depressing

    I forgot what key its in , Its a bluesy G lick what ever fret I'm on could be A# I forget

    He does that

    So Brett on his is real upbeat , she left him in the song , but you can't tell she's gone . your not depressed like old country used to do in songs . I'm not going to slow it down and cry in my song. its a bit of a attitude in it

    thanks

  • Now its done

  • Hi @ElvisNash


    Love the energy in this one - driven by those acoustics. Nice percussion. The guitar is sounding spiffing and your vocal sounds wonderful - declaratory and strong. Really commanding performance.

    How do you feel about it?

    That asked - Congratulations from me, bud.
