Kudos to Hal Swift - this is so much fun and a great concept; and I gotta say, Hal’s covers of Rich’s songs over on his channel are sweet dope, too 🔥🎤🔊🎯🫶🏼🙌🏽🥳

Wow, I can't imagine the amount of work that had to go into these remixes. I really enjoy listening to them, and I'm amused by the self-effacing title of "slick pop sounds" given the Rich Mullins line it comes from!

One of my favorites off the yellow album! Thank you! This is great.

I almost forgot this one, but that snare choice brings it all back 😅

Dug the new groove. Brilliantly done. Reckon Rich will be cheering these from where he is.

Fun stuff. Imagine how Rich would play his own songs in 2024. And what new stuff he would have written. The chords in the verses here are similarly structured stylistically to Rich's "Love of Another Kind."

I love this song, and I love what you've done with it. This will be available for purchase eventually, right?

[amyschlegel]

Hal, these new versions of Rich's songs are wonderful!! Are you planning to put out a CD of the new versions that we can purchase!

Mr. Swift- Please do a new arrangement like the above- of the song "Live Right" by Rich Mullins. Thank you!

[VideoWhitehawk]

This is great. Thanks. You using some AI ?

[michaeltill]

Love the arrangement! Is there a way the vocals could sound clearer, idk much about remixing old music like this but thats just my two cents. But anyways, this is great and I hope it'll make its way to Spotify in the near future!

Here's a somewhat strange question: Does anybody know where the saying "a few good men" originates from? It's such a well-known phrase that sounds like it comes from a Western or a war movie, but when I try to search for information about the phrase on the Internet, all I can find are references to the 1992 movie with that title. But even the play that the movie was based on (1989) didn't exist when Rich Mullins wrote this song, so it's clearly a reference to something older.
