Forever is one of my favorite worship songs right now (and I suspect will remain one of my favorites). Something about singing about what Jesus did on the cross and how He is risen… This one is extremely well written, and the melody is very singable.

The album key (from the Tides album) is in A, but it’s actually a bit low for a male vocalist. I’ve done it up in C as well in a live environment – that gets pretty high. For a female vocalists, you could try it in D, E, or F.

Love the sound overall and will be using this next week. I have two problems with the track that I found while setting it up in Ableton. the first problem is that there is an extra about a 1/4 of a beat of silence at the beginning. If you are using this with Ableton and/or your own clicks and cues, you will have to delete the extra bit from the beginning before the beats line up properly, otherwise, it will be out of sync. The second issue is that the very last note sounds like a band of amateurs hitting a cue at all different times. To me it seems a bit distracting and is something I will need to rework before I can use it. I took 1 start off for these two things, but overall it is a very nice track with and I especially love the strings that are included.

Another gem! Thank you for this. I don’t think it’s too low at all. I come from the conviction that we shouldn’t be leading the men in the congregation to attempt anything over the D above middle C. The E at 3:20 is very difficult for most all men, because most all men are baritone and unfortunately not tenor. Maybe my experience is limited?

  Hi Gerry – I think this is a very delicate point, actually. I do agree that most songs are too high for almost all men in a typical congregation. On the other hand, I also believe that it is important for the person leading a song to do it in a key that evokes energy and passion from their voice. When songs are close to the top of a vocalists range, that’s where the energy comes in.

Can this song be played using a capo and key of G chords?

- Kevin Huntsinger says:

  Dan, yes that is usually how I play it. If you want the chord chart for G (Capo 2 A) I can send it to you.

  Sure can – to play in A, put your capo on the 2nd fret.

There’s no way I’d be able to sing this in C, that’s way too high for me 🙁 I usually lead this in A, and that’s basically at the top of my range (I sometimes go down to Ab in small groups).

@Dan, you could put a capo on the 2nd fret and then it’s pretty much G, D, Em, C all the way through (with an occasional Am).

  Key of C is pretty high in this song – I’ve done it in that key live once, and key of A ever since :). I actually think B would be the best key in this song for my voice.

  Thanks, Daniel! I like singing in this register – not a lot of songs in the style we play are sung this way.

I just wanted to say thank you, not only for the tutorial for this song, but for all of them. You are turning a very mediocre player into someone who can actually hold their own. I have physical issue that prevents me from learning regular chords, therefore I play everything for my church in DADEAD tuning using the capo to change keys. I still benefit greatly from hearing your voicings and love to find ways that I can do them similarly. Mostly, the way you teach strumming has helped me out tremendously. My confidence is building and there are times now that I can let go and put the technique on auto pilot and really let go. Bless you for all that you do to help those like me. The blessing is passed on to our congregations, so you are touching many, many people.

Hi Brian could I know whIch vocals could suit for a female?

- Brian says:
  
  Nov 28, 2015 at 1:57 pm
  
  I would try the key of D, E, or F. D would be lowest and F would be highest.

Thanks for the communication…it’s great to hear different ideas and variations.

It’s funny to see everyone finding it hard to sing in C, because it’s the only key I can get. On a lower key I can not reach the bass notes.
Thank you so much! I’ve learned a lot from you.
I’m from Brazil.
