    Hi everyone, I threw Antonio the challenge of doing this song a few weeks back. We looked at the gospel, country and choral versions and Antonio was naturally drawn to belting this out in his high head voice along the lines of Katherine Jenkins.
    I challenged Antonio to find a middle ground and tell the story himself and in typical Antonio fashion when we said its time to do it he stepped up did one take (not quite perfect but good) and then that was it he was off to the next thing.
    We're very proud of the way Antonio is accepting these new transitional voice challenges and I think this song is possibly on the way to somewhere very special on the other side of his voice change.
    I hope you enjoy it and again thanks for your continued support of Antonio. PS checkout Antonio's 8cupchallenge.com and tell your friends, lets work to increase the awareness of homelessness and fund local solutions regards John

    There is something very special about hearing that unique chest voice in a very young man. It’s so visceral and emotive. I think the sound suits this song perfectly and magnifies the devotional aspect of the lyrics.
    I’m stunned by how good, Antonio’s intonation is even during a time of transition. My voice was all over the place at his age!

      Thanks Paul, you're absolutely spot on our current projects are expression in delivery and then the tonality. Antonio has always had a nice natural vibrato but that has been necessarily repressed in he treble singing. With lockdown ending it may now be a race between the voice change and treble album.

    👍👌👍 Yes, looking to the future is so ‘right’ now. Certainly had a glimpse of that here. The lower pitched words heralded something rounded and rich. (If it’s ok to mention that some of the end of phrase words, could be sounded a millisecond longer. Just a thought.) I tend to use food analogies fir some, possibly Freudian reason(!), so I make that a ‘delicious’ rendition! Job well done. 🙂
