Touch The Sky is the first pre-release from the upcoming Empires album from Hillsong United. Though, if you are reading this after Empires has released, just ignore that first statement :).
This song has an incredibly melodic hook in the chorus and it’s a lot of fun to play and sing. It’s an easy song to play, but can be difficult to sing, especially going from the bigger higher-energy sections right into a softer section, but it certainly gives the song some great dynamics.
Arrangement
- Album: Hillsong United – Empires
- Tempo: 90.5 bpm, 4/4 time
- Key: D (I did the song in D to fit my voice. The album version is in A)
Hey Brian, Very nice. As a musician and an engineer, I would love to know the recording chain used on this demo.
Thanks …TP
Thanks TP! For the song video, my recording chain looked like this:
Vocals: Shure SM7b -> Universal Audio Apollo Twin -> Logic Pro (main plugins used were basic EQ and the CLA Vocals plugin by Waves)
Guitar: Martin D-35 w/ K&K Pure Western Mini pickups -> UA Apollo Twin -> Logic Pro (main plugins here were UAD Ocean Way Studios Plugin (re-mic’ing) and CLA Unplugged plugin by Waves)
I’m not super happy with the tone on the acoustic when it’s plugged in. It’s not bad, but could be better. I’ll often re-track the acoustic in these videos with an AKG C214 mic.
The CLA plugins by Waves are really good. They don’t really allow super fine detailed tweaking of sounds, but if you want a very good vocal/guitar/etc effects chain with very minimal effort, they are perfect.
Belt it out!!! Awesome! I love this song! Great job!
Hello worship tutorial, can you please teach me how this song. I look all over youtube there are no tutorial on that song. You guys are my favorite. Watch “17. Hillsong United – Hallelujah” on YouTube

Hello! I just wanted to tell you that you taught me how to play guitar for a great cause. Last summer, learning guitar was so easy with your help and your tutorials. I have now been leading my school chapel worship services for almost 2 school years. It is my favorite thing to do and I love to worship and praise God in song! Thank you so much for everything.
Sincerely,
Griffin G.
Thanks Griffin!
