Love the words

Wow I really enjoyed the lyrices, they truly reflect how good and powerful God connections are. You have shown that whatever happen, when we are in a relationship with God things can change and we can overcome, please continue to give the Glory to the Lord

I love this song wow. its really awesome Christa Cossey.Do you do music fulltime in America? because I do music full time in South Africa and would'nt mind to be featured in a single live or in studio.

yes

this piece is slightly blue, slightly country, slightly soulful, slightly jazzy. the mix of these ingredients has given life to a simply unique and fantastic music that tickles the palate and is a marvel for the ears. all musical instruments collaborate together with a single goal: to make music in the broadest sense of the word and the spectacular thing that they succeed in a sublime and very very particular way. congratulations for your voice

God Gave Us Jesus

Hi Christa. Have you ever seen Sister Act? If so, you might remember the scene where the skinny little nun learns how to project her voice. Might I recommend that you seek out some training for that? I think that your voice is OK, and that you sing the right notes, but it is a bit weak. This song requires a stronger voice to do it justice. The lead guitarist is talented, but during the verses, it is a bit too busy; maybe remove about half the notes. Your song sounds like a bit of a lazy rafting trip down the Mississippi. So should the guitar - in my humble opinion. :) The drums seemed to get out of sync every once in a while. Every once in a while, it seemed as if some of the instruments wanted to head off in a different direction than the song is set to go. Maybe have another listen to the song, and decide where you want the whole band to go. ;) At the end of the song, it sounds like some of the instrumentalists don't know how to wrap up a song. It is a bit of an awkward unresolved ending. All in all, keep at it girl. Good job. Good bones. Blessings, Trev. :)

Great concept song

In the context of this song, it is in the concept stage. This song has potential to be a strong song. The lyrics are well placed and touching but needs strengthening in the delivery. The music is fine but the timing is off and it seems to me that the studio recording process may have been a hindrance to the project. Some times people can sing or play in one type of setting but not so well in others for example; I specialize in "Live performance", it took a while and practice to be effective in the studio. So you would love to hear me live but not so much in recordings, so I had to work on that, usually a manager or good engineer, even a good producer can help you to develop recording skills. I would suggest that the band come together and practice recording together and separately to develop recording skills and produce a better product. Continue writing and recording, music is one of those things that improve with time and practice no matter your skill level.

love the guitar!

The guitar music is beautifully played. I would like to hear a bit more strength or excitement in the vocalist. I like the lyrics very much. One thing, and this is just a personal desire of mine in a song--I would prefer that the 1st musical interlude be shortened as it seems a bit long. I would also like to hear a different treatment of the 'tag" line rather than the modulation (not sure of this word) done on one of the words in the tag. Keep on singing girl, you have a good voice!

Busy background music

Hey Christa, I've reviewed other songs for you in the past. Again, the music overpowers your lyrics. Musicians should learn to fall out in the verses and let the words be heard. It's as though they are battling over leads and the guitarist is constantly noodling around while you're singing....not good. It totally distracts you from even attempting to listen to the lyrics, which should be everyone's primary focus. Have your team work on their presentation and you should work on doing more than just opening your mouth. Sing with feeling... when performers are in front of a crowd, it's easy to sell the emotion through your facial expressions, stage presentation, etc. When you're singing into a microphone, YOUR VOICE has to sell that emotion...not an easy task to accomplish. Keep working at it girlfriend, you'll get there!

God Gave Us Jesus by Christa Cossey

It was a difficult decision to do a review on this song. This artist in recent times has put out many’good’ songs that were done well. There were a few things, easily correctable, that could turns this song around and have a ‘better’ presentation, that so many of her other songs already have done. Number one easy fix: simplify the background during the verses. There is a continuous ‘battle ‘ between the guitar and piano that often distracts from the message of the verses. They should be complimenting the vocal instead of saying “Hey listen to me”! One of our nation’s top studio guitarist, one of the “Swampers” Jimmy Johnson, has made a lifetime career by adhering to that principle, one others should learn from! I’m not saying his playing skills are bad, just that he should be more discerning, a strumming acoustic guitar would have worked a lot better. The pianist though obviously very talented and skilled could have ‘pulled back’ a little as well. The bass seemed to be right on track, stead and consistent, as well as the drummer, with minor tweaks. The vocalist is obviously very talented, as has she has been consistently in song after song that we’ve heard from her. On this one it seemed that lowering the key either a half-step or possibly a whole-step would helped the higher portions of the songs range, where even though she hit every note right square on, it seemed it was a challenge, instead of flowing easily. As I started out saying, this was a difficult choice to discuss this song. Christa has blessed us with so many wonderful songs, and with some tweeking , maybe her wonderful vocals could shine through, insteading of trying to battle through the band.

Hello from Jerzy...

I like The Song and Arrangement also... but to bad that vocal is no so good... some parts are off the tune and this is main reason it has to be re recorded...at it is has no chance to be played on Air Radio.. or found a Publishing House... again I like the song but in order to make something happen it has to sound Much Better....I wish You a Good Luck...

Keep it up

The song is very beautiful. I would work to get the vocals more clearer and put the voices up due to the music is louder. I love the lyrics and the message of the song. Keep doing what ur doing and I pray the LORD keeps blessing your music.
