I had been working on this experimental version since October 2019 when the acoustic version was released, but because I play poorly in time I couldn’t get a drummer! But here we are in 2020.
You are not an afterthought.

I actually started this cover concept in April 2019, with the intention of a post-hardcore/metalcore melodic singing and screaming dichotomy…but my vocal chords are too frail to scream like I want.
More importantly, the truths in this song constantly remind me of who I once was (a sinner, bound for eternal death); what God accomplished through Jesus on the cross (redeemed me from sin, giving me freedom to eternal life through his death and resurrection); and what I ought to do (share this Good News!).
Check out this different style pass the jump!

So much heartfelt truth in this song, reflecting upon the sovereignty of God! At our highest peaks of life, it was not by our own strength. At our darkest, deepest, loneliest valleys, we are not alone. Be encouraged: you are not alone.
I think the best version of this song is the piano one by Tauren Wells, and this cover is a huge departure from my usual style. In fact, I just might not have the voice for whatever genre this is. Is this post-rock? Alt-rock? I have no idea of the genre, please help identify!
I’ve furthered the experimentation by creating a video too! Using an Olympus TG-850 (which you’re familiar with if you’ve gone hiking/adventuring with me) for the video, I utilized Lightworks to merge video and audio together. I have never done this before…but it was pretty straight-forward! So many things to receive feedback on…
