A wonderful blend of smooth jazz, funk, dance and world music centralized through the piano, acoustic guitar and the occasional synth lead..
ALL of the compositions you hear here start with one simple truth - without God, I could do nothing but because of HIM, all this is possible!
Each and every effort is a serenade to Him, as I owe Him every song.
Over the years, I've learned new things about song composition and have always been willing to push the boundaries of sound. I was trained as a musician and recording engineer as a child, learning to put together melodies when I was only 7 years old. This was at the height of jazz fusion where lead instrumental improvisation was king. Although I was trained early on to read and write sheet music, this improvisation has shaped my writing. Now, I write from my heart.
The songs represented here are the culmination of my ventures. Each new song is a lesson in itself as I am a never ending student of music, sound and the new and emerging recording processes. As you listen, keep in mind these are my intimate conversations with God. My conversations are sometimes upbeat, sometimes somber, but never boring. In all, I share these songs so that you may enjoy the music.

A bit different – added cymbals… wow, love the bass slide at the 1:09. LOVE IT!!!! (Gotta know, are you playing the bass?) Nice Intricate musical changes and breaks that fit so well. Delectable piano chords and melodies that are simply captivating along with your superb guitar lines...Arlen, as always you continue to raise the level of music to new heights. Flawless mix with that Mr. Grant signature production. You the man!!!!

Hi Arlen!
Yes a really soft and relaxing track, with sweet harmonies/melodies. Interaction between guitar&piano well developped. As always excellent mix/production for this new amazing piece!!
Peace my friend! :)
Been a while since I've been on SC and this is a wonderful refreshing piece to come back to. First of all this is an amazing track my friend. You've composed some very beautiful and gracious piano chords; and the acoustic guitar answers back in perfect harmony. This is a truly a classic, timeless song. I thoroughly enjoyed this one sir. Bravo!
