Description : This song was originally written by Bear but never posted…he asked me if I could finish it so, I did. Bear is on rhythm guitars, drum loops, pads, wrote the original bass line (which I redid with my Ibanez bass), keys. I added vocals, lead guitar, bass and mastered. Always a pleasure working with Bear because his songs are just so darn good.

hey Mark....sorry...forgot to reply to your comments on adding an ending part,,,,my head has moved on to other things...but if you are inclined to add a synth melody bit please feel free....If you want the rhythm backing I can render off a couple of the chorus guitar parts etc for backing if you want....glad you liked it enough to feel inclined to keep it rolling....Ed

Fabulous track Mark!

Of course the original wasn't bad :-) but the final result is outstanding. You brought your best melody lines (for me) here...guitar is sharp as it has to be...acoustic rhythms from Bear are bloody groovy...love this track!!!

Instant favourite and sudden download! :-)

Hope all is well, Danke

Mark, once again you prove your skills as a musician, singer, arranger, and producer. You took something that was really raw and turned it into something really special. Thanks for all of the hard work bro. It means a lot to have you take these songs and make them into something really special. Awesome work. On to the next, haha. Hope all is well.

I like the main chord progression the song has, it is easy to like. As well as the vocals, something familiar about them I like. They sound like Graham Parker a bit, he has a great voice I think. Your delivery is clean and the words are easily understandable.

I like this kind of rock, rhythm based with some great melodies along side a cranking lead. Cool bass, liked the acoustic guitar a lot, just the right amount of each guitar and mixed well. The song is quite catchy, I gave it a few listens and plan to dl this one. Once again you guys hit the mark with this track!

Great job Bear and Mark for putting this together and thanks for sharing Guys!

Description : Recently made available on Spotify+iTunes, my own Christmas present :) A mix of rock/electronic and an unexpected touch of ....spaghetti western? And a big thank you to the singer, amazing vocals :)
A bit of a long journey, quite tricky to mix and would benefit from some improvements.
As usual, any feedback is more than welcome, enjoy :)

Description : "Celebrate the Cornerstone," penned by Kay Matteson, John Matteson, and Richard Shekari, is an uplifting contemporary worship song that beautifully encapsulates themes of salvation and divine love. Drawing from biblical imagery, the lyrics highlight Jesus as the Chief Cornerstone—initially rejected but ultimately essential to faith.
