Will Smith, Doug Gazlay and I recording "Come On Come On"
|
|
|
Come On Come On,” stared as a catchy tune in my head way back
in the early 90’s. I wanted to make it an invitation and reinforce the
message that Jesus is coming back, and He is taking all of His
children with Him. “So please be one of us” is my plea. And if you
are part of the blessed ‘body of Christ” then “let’s be bold and
proclaim!”
“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a
loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the
trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After
that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up
together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
And so we will be with the Lord forever.”
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (New International Version)
How can you not be excited!
On the production side I had heard horns in this song and more of
an “older” more “70’s pop” sound. Doug took it in a different
direction, making it light, upbeat and fun. Doug added his magic
and spiced up the bridge giving it a “live” feeling. Yes, all this was
done in the studio. Special thanks to Will Smith for his help with the
background vocals.

And we who love the Lord, Will march on out!
