JPF Home Page Forums Lyric and MP3 Feedback Lyric Feedback Forum 2 Walk In The Light... W/Audio

Well,

I haven't been doing a lot of writing lately, and even lest posting. Had planned to drive from Seattle to Nashville for Tin Pan South but that didn't work out.

Figured maybe if I posted a song for review it might get me back into the swing of things.

Brock and I wrote this a few months ago and I'm just now getting it up for review (Slacker!!!) .

Hope you like it...

Curtis

Light And Glory
© 2003 Brock Goodwin/Curtis Cameron

Verse 1:
The path of least resistance
Can lead us to forsake the truth within
The hope of our existence
Lives in a man who died and rose again

Build:
When the darkness comes
And it feels like there is nothin’ you can do
Take the first step, open your heart
Let the love of God shine through

Chorus:
WALK IN THE LIGHT... Live in the glory...
Believe in the blood he shed on Calvary
(He shed his blood)

WALK IN THE LIGHT... Live in the glory...
It was the price he paid for you and me
(To show his love)

Verse 2:
In this world of confrontation
There’s shadows where the fearful live and die
But in God’s illumination
There’s a power which the faithful won’t deny

Build:
When the fights begin
And the doubts set in, and the whole world seems untrue
Take the first step, open your heart
Let the love of God break through

Chorus:
WALK IN THE LIGHT... Live in the glory...
Believe in the blood he shed on Calvary
(He shed his blood)

WALK IN THE LIGHT... Live in the glory...
It was the price he paid for you and me
(To show his love)

Hey Curtis! Another writer from the past drops by. I'm with ya on the dry spell. Although I've written some music over the last 1-1/2 years, my first lyric in that time was just last week and posted here ("Fly To The Heavens"). Interestingly, with your theme here, we seem to be in somewhat the headspace. Getting back into writing and coming back here is getting some juices flowing, 'cause I just penned and poisted another one ("Diggin' The Blues"). I don't have the time to listen tonight, but I'll try tomorrow. The lyric reads pretty well.

Good seein' ya here, Curtis!

Tom

Wow...

A year and a half since your last lyric??? Geez. When I said "lately" I meant in the last couple weeks...

Man Tom, I'm glad to see you writing again. You're too good to let all that talent go to waste. I know you've been working on your musical skills so I GUESS it's okay.

Glad to see you around. I'm still writing, even more seriously than ever, I just don't have as much time to spend posting and critiquing. I still enjoy it and owe SO MUCH of my writng ability to places like this and all the old regulars like you and the rest.

I still remember those good old days with fond memories and as a special time and count all the people I've met as special friends, and that of course includes you.

Good to see you around Tom,

Curtis

Hey Curtis,

Nice to see you back. I don't really critique Christian lyrics, but I had a listen and really liked the sound. Good luck with it, guys.

Bill

Hi again Curtis,

I'm listening as I type this. It sounds really good, man. Well recorded. Brock's performance is great! As you probably know, there are some minor lyrical variations compared to what is actually being sung, especially at the beginning, but it all works quite well.

Kudos to you both!

Tom

Hi Curtis,

Glad you're back! I've been mired in the mud a bit lately myself, working on old ideas to get myself pumped up again.

I really love this! Wish I could get the audio but SongRamp won't let me. The only place I stumbed was the 2nd bridge..."when the fights begin." Don't know what that means. Sounds better to me to say "when the light grows dim." I think it works better with your hook. But overall this is just wonderful!

Bill, Tom, and Songbird,

Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment on this. And thanks for liking it!

Tom, I didn't notice the discrepencies, but had another comment on another board. I think I forgot to reverse the lyric in the opening verse, and change "break" back to "shine". I'll go back and touch that up. Thanks for noticing.

Songbird, I understand your confusion in that last build and kid of like your suggestion, but I'm not sure it would make sense to say "when the light goes dim", then say "Walk in the light". I'll have to give that some thought. The fights are simply refering to the struggles of life (and I guess against "evil"). Could probably be clearer though.

Thanks again everyone.

Curtis

P.S. Tom... I'll post "Room I Rent" so you can hear it.

Howdy Curtis,

Good to see you back around here. You guys did a great job on this. Lyrics are solid and the music definitely works. Very enjoyable listen.

Only thing I noticed that was amiss is the lyrics don't read the same as Brock sings them. Looks like you got some lines reversed. Anyway, very good job all around.

Tricia,

So glad you liked this. Yeah, Brock outdid himself on this one. We're both real happy with how it's turned out. It's such a great listen. Thanks for looking and liking!

Curtis

Lianna!

Is this Liana from a long time ago? Like three years ago? The same Lianna that did the vocals on a song for Anthony and I called... um... what was it? "In The Shadows Of Her Mind? Wow, it's been so long I can't remember.

Anyway if this IS you, I was JUST thinking about you a week or so ago wondering whatever became of you. Nice to see that you are still around, you had such a great voice I was hoping you were still singing.

On this song, actually Brock recorded this on his home studio on a set-up almost identical to mine. It's amazing what can be done out of the home anymore.

So nice to hear from you!

Thanks for stopping by.

Curtis

Randy,

Howdy! Yeah I forgot to switch those line around. I've made the fix though. Thanks for the listens and the comments. How's things in Nashville? Is Tin Pan South going on? And are you taking it all in? Enquiring minds want to know!

Curtis
