I am Near - Andy Casson

[andy casson]

Song inspired by my son being in USA/Canada for a few weeks and having a few problems and being a long way from home. I hope he will hear this and remember his dad loves him... he is 18 and it's a big wide beautiful world
enjoy  
p.s.  I know it's cheesey

I am Near
Andy Casson
24th March 2013

With God as my witness I wish I were more than I see
As a father to his children, when there's trouble lean on me

I am near, near...lean on me

Take a step now for tomorrow for a future you can see
I will shoulder all your sorrows, when you stumble lean on me
As a father to his children, if you stumble lean on me

I am near, near...lean on me

I just listened to this song 3 times and wow.
Real nice groove with a bluesy feel, I like how the bass just pushes the song along.
I like the call and answer vocals and you can hear the emotion in your voice
especially when you sing "near".
I think when you write from your heart that comes out in the music,
in the vocal,  makes it authentic.
And a killer lead to end it, ( I really want to hear it get louder as it faded away)
nice tasty licks.

Excellent dude. Not cheesy at all.

Wow Andy... This is a smashingly great song. Love the subtle synths in the background... The lyrics are simply awesome. Love the message and the song itself has a very uplifting grove... I'm diggin this big time... LOVE IT!!!!

[Jarle]

Great song. The chorus is really catchy with the call and response.
 agree with djbride this is not cheesy at all.
Love it.

You're way to cool ever to be cheesey Mr Casson, oh and you sure know how to put a song together.
