This blog examines, reviews and discusses how worship is being lived out in culture and in the church. We tackle everything from songwriting techniques in corporate worship, to interviewing worship leaders and pastors, to reviewing the last big rock concert.
This is a custom loop I did that I am now making available for resale publicly. This loop is for use with a great song by Leeland called “Follow You” off their Love is On the Move album. The song follows the arrangement on the album as far as order of parts, but instrumentation and the intro section are different.
You can stream the loop below but you are not able to download the loop. In order to download the loop files (aif, high quality stereo mp3 and reason file) you need to send payment through PayPal. The price for this loop is $14.99 as is. Once payment is received I’ll contact you and give you download instructions.
As always though please comment and rate the loop to let me know what you think. I had a lot of fun making this loop and I’m pleased that the original customer is quite happy with it.

You set our hearts desires, that all our lives bring glory to You
Now onto the loop. This loop uses a bass sequence on the verses second the second chorus. It allows room for a live bass player to play underneath without muddying up the mix, but you can decide how you’d approach that or you can catch my bass player on twitter and ask him his thoughts. The arrangement follows the Jesus Culture arrangement as far as order of song sections.
A couple changes in how I release loops that I’ve done for my own purposes. You might have read about me being for hire for custom loops and a plan to move to some kind of paid model. I’m still working out the details on the paid model for the loops, so here’s what I’m doing for now.
I’m not releasing the Reason file for free publicly, if you want the file please contact me.
I’ve included a Donate link. I love helping others out with loops and whatever assistance I can provide I’m more than happy to do so. So if you download this loop or you’ve benefited in any way or are appreciative of the service, I’d so much appreciate any amount you’re willing and able to give. The amount (including $0) I leave up to you.
Over the past couple years my heart has really been moved towards re-arranging hymns, due in large part to the influence of Mars Hill’s worship leaders but also due to a conviction on singing theologically rich lyrics. One of my favorite hymns is “The Solid Rock” by Edward Mote. I’ve done a couple versions of this song and always enjoyed E-pop’s version of this song, but on one particular listen it moved from appreciation to an urgency to do it.
Most of the time I try and respond to that urgency in my spirit, there are a lot of songs I have in the queue to loop so I have to prioritize in some way. So this arrangement is a version off of the E-pop arrangement. Same hook in the piano melody but used some different instrumentation, rhythm and added a more heavy instrumental section.
Remember to vote on the loop below, this really helps me get a sense of what folks find useful. Also it is used to calculate top loops widget in sidebar for people to quickly see the better loops.

I’ve written previously at how brilliant this song is and how more churches should be doing this song. The bridge for this song is one of the most powerful portions of song I’ve sung, very difficult to get through composed.
He has cheated hell and seated
Us above the fall
In desperate place He paid our wages
One time once and for all
That bridge was the main reason I wanted to do a loop for this. I felt like that part could and should get huge. So the loop is really simple for most of it, just has an organ, some claps, little kick, shaker, cello, but then ramps up on the tag. I spent quite a while getting the proper back and forth shaker action instead of just the single forward action that pretty much all shaker samples use. I know it’s probably not all that impressive to anyone but I was really happy with the end result for the shaker.
You’ll notice my changes in the bridge section and you may also noticed I slowed it down. I like giving the verses a little more room so people don’t get lost in the lyrics.

This song has been on the back burner for a long time for me. I never really dug any of the arrangements I heard, but I knew the song had some good remix potential. I finally got around to putting one together for this tune. I’ve always loved the words to this song and thought it was really a powerful song. The dominant portions of the loop I composed for it are this sort of rhythmic electronic sequence. They are layered throughout so that it hopefully doesn’t get over bearing. I leave room in the verses and pre-chorus, and even the early chorus is pretty open and simple in the loop.
Towards the end though each component comes together in the final chorus. I’m pleased with how it ended up coming together. When we play it live it’s heavy on electric guitar so the guitars add the rock bite to it that you might not pickup just listening to the loop. As always please rate the loop and comment with any feedback you may have. Feel free to download and use at will.

True Love by Phil Wickham is truly an amazing song and it’s always been on my short list for songs to loop, but it shot to the top of the list when Easter planning started. Too bad I started planning late because this loop took me forever. It was quite challenging for me to arrange mostly due to the fact that there’s going to be some art and drama elements done while playing it, so I had to create some space for that. I hope this loop is useful for others considering the changes I made. Here’s what you’ll find arrangement wise.
Intro: Long 2 minute intro.
Verse 1: Starts at 2:12 (bar 55)
Chorus 1: Starts at 2:41(bar 67)
Verse 2: Starts at 3:30 (bar 87)
Chorus 2: Starts at 4:00 (bar 99)
Bridge: Starts at 4:48 (bar 119)
Chorus 3: Starts at 5:08 (bar 127) – I sing the second half of the chorus twice “When blood and water…”
Ending: You’ll notice the final chord is not faded, I plan to wash out the chord and cut the ending tight.
I’ve received some requests already to use the loop so let me outline what customizations I can get done before Sunday. YES: key changes, fading ending, muting instruments. Possibly: shortening intro, depending on where you want it cut and what instrumentation you want to keep. If it’s as simple as cut out 1:15-2:00 then that’s easy. But if you want to move around the instrumentation in the intro I can’t do that this week.
Don’t forget to rate the loop below and please comment with any question, requests or feedback(positive or constructively negative) you may have.
UPDATE:
I’ve now included links below for a shorter, more everyday, version of the loop. The intro has been condensed. I also included a vocal cue track for that same loop and will do so for loops going forward.

I’ve been working on this loop for a few weeks and used it twice in service. I’ve been with-holding it’s release because I have a few more ideas that I want to try out before I ‘ll consider it done, but I figure why not expose that process. So I’m going to release this loop for Hosanna as version 1, when I complete it I’ll release another version and you can see the difference. I’ve made available 2 versions below, one with acoustic and the other without.
There’s a couple things to watch out for on this loop that differ from the album arrangement.
Intro starts with a pad, then drum pattern, then the piano riff comes in. Verse 1 starts at bar 35 (00:53)
The solo section is twice as long. I do a solo for the first half then we sing a tag that I wrote on the back half. Solo section comes in at bar 119 (3:05) and stops at bar 151 (3:55).
I think besides those 2 things I repeat sections as the album does. Don’t forget to rate the loop below and please comment with any questions or feedback you may have.
