Song: I Will Stand (Male Vocal)
Reviewer: Kate Carpenter
Positive Comments: Hooray! Another great patriotic song. And the message of this one is so needed today. We need a bridge to help close the chasm that divides us as a nation. If only we could have a leader that would bring us together as this song describes. The lyrics are absolutely FANTASTIC, very well-written, with a great tribute to our armed forces who defend our freedom. Chorus is singable and “I will Stand” is a great line. (Tell that to the NFL players, although they have the right to kneel or stand, right?!) Nice instrumentation. Great song structure and presentation.
Constructive Comments: Is it just me, or is there a problem with the chord changes in the chorus? It bugged me every time I heard it. Has anyone else commented on that? Something seems off in the timing or something. If you want this song to soar, you need to get a little more passionate in your vocal at the end, and go UP on I will stand. I wanted you to sing it up higher at the end. I could just hear it happening…and saying to myself: why didn’t he do it to make a real statement at the end and ramp up the impact of that great phrase?
