    It took me a while to decide whether I wanted to tackle this piece as I like to put my own stamp on the harmony, however I was trying to be careful not to overdo it, so as to not lose the beautiful vibe that the song has.
    Anyways I hope you enjoy it :)

    Lyrics:
    A light in the room
    It was you who was standing there
    Tried it was true
    As your glance met my stare.
    But your heart drifted off
    Like the land split by sea
    I tried to go, to follow,
    To kneel down at your feet
    I've been settling scores
    I've been fighting so long
    But I've lost your war
    And our kingdom is gone
    How shall I win back
    Your heart which was mine
    I have broken bones and tattered clothes
    I've run out of time
    I will break down the gates of heaven
    A thousand angels stand waiting for me
    Ooh take my heart (take my heart)
    And I'll lay down my weapons
    Break my shackles to set me free
    I'll run, I'll run
    I'll run run to you
    I'll run, I'll run
    I'll run, run to you

      This is in a higher key, and he's using a DAW to add bass in parts like at 3:12. Nothing wrong with that though.

      @@rtravisboyd5013 There are many ways, but in terms of getting the best sound quality, my recommendation for notes that are too high or too low for you is to record the note you want sped up or slowed down. In Logic, for instance, there is a plug-in you can use called varispeed that lets you slow or speed by semitone. This usually has a more natural sound quality than using pitch-shifting devices.

  • @Nostaljack
    @Nostaljack Před 9 lety +188

    Outdoing Pentatonix isn't easy. You've done that here. I love your key choice. It makes the lyric hit harder. The end is just insane. There is one small technical note. The end of the bridge seems to oversaturate a bit. This likely occurred at the mix stage so if you were of a mind to fix it, you could. It doesn't really hurt anything though. In fact, it adds some tension. Maybe you noticed and decided to leave it alone for that reason? Anyway, thanks for doing this. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    • @SamRobson
      @SamRobson  Před 9 lety +35

      Nostaljack It's a weird one, maybe you are right about the tension because for some reason I didn't have the immediate urge to fix it and thus became part of it in a weird way. I'm really glad you like the changes to the arrangement, that was the part I was most apprehensive about.

    • @kronik907
      @kronik907 Před 9 lety

      Sam Robson It sounds like a compressor thing right at 2:58. Like the bass was so loud that it just cuts out the treble. Love the arrangement though!

    • @Nostaljack
      @Nostaljack Před 9 lety +5

      keats27 I'm actually not bothered by Sam's choice there at all. It exposes the angelic quality of his lead tone. Further back in the mix and you wouldn't hear it as clearly.

    • @Nostaljack
      @Nostaljack Před 9 lety +5

    Oops---although I love The Corinthian Song, I raved about how it was the MOST ABSOLUTE BEAUTIFUL hymn I had ever heard....well, I spoke too soon. As I type this, it's the 11th time in a row I've listened to this. As with all of your arrangements, which have brought me to tears, I am boo-hoo'ing like a baby, once again, but even more so with this one----I'm Running to You with open arms of a HUGE thanks! Thank you for this. How beautiful Sam---congrats on truly a masterpiece. Agreeing with Grace Jackson times ten!

    Its true, outdoing Pentatonix is a mountain of a task. But you sir, "broke down the gate" with this performance.
