Together We Stand
David C Deal 2015
VERSE 1
It’s hard to watch
This human masquerade where
hate and fear mimic mind
Disguised as holy calling
hate’s...
This is the first of hopefully many collaborations with Chris Georgiou. This is also the recording debut of my 9 year old granddaughter Jocelynne. I wrote...
This is the first of hopefully many collaborations with Chris Georgiou. This is also the recording debut of my 9 year old granddaughter Jocelynne. I wrote the lyrics in response to the terrorism in the world and the world's response after the incident in France.

Chris Georgiou; Keyboards (lion's share), drums, bass, lap steel and lead guitars

amazing opening, wonderful atmospheric and orchestral sound gives way to the acoustic so nicely. great story telling vocal, I liked the slide bits adding a nice floating sensation. kind of reminded me of an old xtc song. the lead guitar spot near the end just melts in. great song!

Going to write my 1st comment here at Mixpo - thank you David for the welcome. I believe I heard this song when you posted it at FB awhile back, and commented there. This is quite a Rock ballad - much time and effort spent on all ends of the collaboration to create a masterpiece you can all be proud of. Bravo fellas!
Thanks for the kind words Bob. Hey, they have some really nice evening radio shows on mix with good people in the chat room if you are interested.

So wonderful to see you again Chris. In my loss I had not heard your music in a while and the listen filled a whole in my being. Welcome back!

So sad, the horrific circumstance of the songs inspiration... yet, presented with such dignity, hope, and respect. Beautifully done, just beautiful! David + Chris, your kindness has always shined so bright, thank you!
Thank you very much Carol. This is the first song I have been working to seriously promote for years. I am doing so because I so want to add some loving perspective to the situation. (still a hippie at heart I guess).

Heard this on another site and was blown away!

I was most excited about the credits reading the debut of Jocelynne! I know it was even more exciting for you and her. Great job by all involved. We need more positive messages spread: "One home, one earth".

I live in Ohio where I am a practicing Psychologist http://davidcdealphd.com/ . My favorite instruments are an array of keyboards, however I also enjoy playing acoustic guitar. I currently perform in a Trans-Siberian Orchestra tribute band named Siberian Solstice. www.siberiansolstice.com ,
I have released two CD’s, “Harmonic Space” and “Transformations.” “Harmonic Space” is a clinically based CD that aids people in coping with anxiety and sleep disorders. “Transformations” is a concept album that is both a spiritual autobiography and, hopefully, a spiritual vessel. The songs from Transformations have deep, emotional, and spiritual intent. I continue to write, record, produce, and collab and have also posted many of these songs.
My musical styles are said to range from those of progressive rock bands such as YES and Pink Floyd to Broadway musicals such as those of Andrew Lloyd Weber. I often add a little bit of Jazz and Classical flavoring. I have recently been mixing my acoustic guitar roots with more progressive elements.
A Word from David:
I have been blessed with many artistic and musical friends who have offered their talents to my recordings. Some of the musicians who played on the posted songs include Les Brooke, Tom Hannah, Tim Vargo, Andrew Vargo, Cynthia Lugo, Andrea Bok, David Coonrod, Ned Clark, Kevin Peters, Kristin Sorensen, William O’Connell, Ked Deiter, Mack Sanders, Rob Hanlon, Richard Gonzales, Bob Ross, Pat Ross, Michael Duryee, Nigel Potter, Joseph Rodriguez, P.E.Bailey, Carol Sue Kirkpatrick, Bill Smith, Buddrumming, Rasmuth, Jolee, Terry Wigmore and John Else, I want to extend special thanks to Arthur Kills Straight Putnam who wrote and recorded all of the native flute parts which follow each song in “Transformations”.
Finally, I want to say a special thanks to David Coonrod. He plays incredible bass on many of the posted songs and has been an awesome collaborator and friend. At this point I would hardly be willing to release any musical arrangement without passing it by his ears for suggestions etc. A talented, selfless friend and a musical compadre.
Transformation Cover Message:
"Sometimes, in the midst of a perfectly ordinary day, one is unexpectedly flooded by the magnificence of “what is.” Perhaps that moment of awareness and clarity arrives while watching a storm or absorbing a piece of art or kneeling with intention in a church. If blessed, echoes of the past and visions of the future fade from existence as the unknowing silence of the infinite present emerges. With patience and grace, one comes to know the incredible richness of “what is” as a revelation of God’s face, and the mind is forever transformed into a mirror of creation." . . . .
