Loop available: “We Cry Out” by Brian and Jenn Johnson/Kim Walker

Tagged Under : , , , , , ,

We Cry Out was written by Brian and Jenn Johnson but made popular by Kim Walker’s performance. This loop follows the arrangement that Kim Walker used, same key as well. It’s a great song that is mostly guitars and rhythm. So the loop uses a mellow pad through the song with a rhythm element and a few other rhythmic synth elements. It’s a pretty mellow loop that lets the guitars shine through.

Song: We Cry Out by Kim Walker, We Cry Out (album)
Key: D#m
Bpm: 122
Intro: 4 bar click in w/drums (guitar riff starts on measure 5 in other words)

Loop available: “Solid Rock” by Delirious

Tagged Under : , , , ,

This loop is for Delirious’ arrangement of Solid Rock off their Now Is the Time album. I followed their arrangement except for the intro. The intro has a silent 2 bar click in, then a syth bass comes in and does some weird stuff, then the main riff comes in at bar 15 and the band(including guitar riff) comes in at bar 19. From then on it follows the album arrangement.

The loop is pretty sparse besides the main synth/bass riff. I added some synth on the chorus and some shaker, but besides that it’s the synth and guitar riff carrying the song. I had delayed releasing this because I’ve always wanted to take it in another direction at some point, but that direction hasn’t come into my head yet. So I’ll release another version if it ever comes.

Song: Solid Rock by Delirious, Now Is The Time
Key: E
Bpm: 158
Intro: 2 bar click in

Loop available - “Where We Belong” by Hillsong

Tagged Under : , , ,

This is off the new Hillsong album This Is Our God, aka “the Healer album”. I only like a few off this album and this is definitely one of them. The phrasing of the chorus and the lyric “where we belong” just really sunk with me. Lyrically I think this is one of
