I have always loved the soul classics, though this does not kick in for a while, I have tried for that groove and feel for the chorus hook, based on the 'ol G Am C prog...hope you like
enjoy  

Sanctuary

w/m Andy Casson
16th October 2013

I saw a light come for me
In the night on my knees
I was blind but I could see
I had found what I need
I need a hand and I plead...Sanctuary

All this sorrow, all this greed
Where fields are fallow plant the seed
Mountains high and rivers deep
Pledge your word, a promise keep
Come tomorrow I want to see
No more sorrows, I need to plead...Sanctuary

Find the time in your busy day
Take a moment, put a smile on a face

Borrowed time is not time enough for me
I've shouldered all my sorrows but now I plead...sanctuary

If men are blind make them see
If they are wanting fill the need
If men are bound set them free
If they need shelter let them plead...
I follow you, you follow me
I need a hand and I plead...sanctuary

Very nice I like the build and let down on this song kinda got the Led Zep vibe going on in the start of the song

Well put together as said before like the rise and fall, the mix of electric and acoustic guitars is cool, overall great tune!

[kenny mac]

Great song andy ,love the backing vox exspecially .
Another cracker.

[Greeny]

F*ck me, this is SO good. It was going along beautifully, then it just goes into the stratosphere at 2 minutes. Lift off! The changes you throw around in this are immense and intense. What a performance. Absolute killer my friend.

[Hook]

I dig it brother, really great dynamics. When it kicks in it kicks ass!
Rock On!

[Jarle]

Great song, I love the way it comes in waves.

[Hilary]

Ooooh mighty fine Mr C 

[andy casson]

Thanks guys for all the kind comments, another example of my trying to expand my songwriting and arrangement pre-conceptions (not all songs are in a minor key and heavy rock vibe...just most!) I am pleased with this, but think I need to tinker with it and maybe re-viisit the lead vox

Cheers
Andy

Keep expanding ! This is really good. Still very recognisable casson but with some other colours thrown in!!

I like it !!!!
