My friend you made a 51-year-old man cry not tears of pain but tears of joy because every time I listen to this song I feel the embracement of God wrapping his loving wings around me and taking me to that place and time ! I appreciate this so much and brothers and sisters get ready because the world is getting ready to wake up get ready for a scrooge moment on Christmas Eve because brothers and sisters what's getting ready to happen there's only going to happen because God wants us to wake up thank you Jesus Christ for the Great Awakening and the great recent !
Aw man, thanks for the kind words! I'll definitely be doing more as part of Arcade Orchestra, which will reimagine a lot of iconic 80s songs with full symphony, among other things... stay tuned!
I kept saying this song perfectly encapsulates what we're going through now. Genesis had it down perfectly and this song makes me about cry when I listen to it lately. Awesome cover ❤️ I love it.
Seriously, I was going to do this exact same thing to this song. Putting current news headlines and what they REALLY mean to this song. Help to wake up the world. You said what I was inspired to. So I was meant to find your video. I am going to promote the heck out of this. Great job. I am doing a new website for my non profit..Unified Illumination... is it okay to upload your video there?
my jaw dropped... wow is an understatement! I'm stunned, impressed, and blessed by what you've done with this song and the video elements all put together is both timely and inspiring. well done good and faithful servant. well done. it's now on my personal theme playlist and I've added it to our music video channel also. wow! keep it up.
@@CitizenDave1776 thank you so much for the very kind words! It's probably obvious, but I did this back in 2020 during all the Covid nonsense - but it just goes to show that this song (and its message) never gets old! Just think... Genesis dropped it in 1986!
@@JimDaneker The lyrics had actually been one of my theme songs in making a difference, but all the other videos were weird, until now with your video construction... now it's perfect. - can't thank you enough.
EPIC! Absolutely EPIC!! This is the perfect blend of audio, video and message! Parts are played/sung flawlessly and with an addition of new energy to the classic tune! The video is - ridiculous!!! I can't begin to imagine the hours spent culling, editing, time shifting, etc. Fantastic job. But even more, this is a message who's time has once again come around, and is something we all need to hear. You should be very proud of this, Jim!
Absolutely PERFECT IN EVERY WAY GAVE ME CHILLS THE WHOLE TIME!!!... CRAZY HOW THIS SONG FITS SO WELL TODAY...... NEED TO DO DON HENLEYS DIRTY LAUNDRY ,NEXT FOR THE MEDIA!!!👍
Wow !!! Thank you very much for this incredibly well made video! I got goosebumps..very professionally implemented in pictures and your voice is terrific! The best version of Genesis Land of Confusion on TH-cam I found. Really perfect, fits right in these difficult times and I subscribed to your channel. I hope my english is not that bad. Greetings from Germany !! 🙏
@@JimDanekerI am very happy that my English is ok 😄 I have to thank you dear Jim ! You are very talented . Your voice ist so great..and i love your video very much !!
I won't lie the backing track for this is superb. So synthy and Disco/house feel at the same time. It is a great cover. But the vocal as good as the are need way more of a punch in this. Either way best cover/remix that I've heard of it.
Also just in mind as I've never heard your style etc. But if you actually did pitch change your voice to a lower octave/pitch with effects. This track could be massive in the deep house/electronic community.
Jim, WOW! This looks, but more importantly SOUNDS, incredible!! I love how you took the original sparse (effective, no doubt!) arrangement and filled it full of life, energy, urgency, and DX7s!! :) Masterful finished product man, though those who follow your work have come to expect nothing less!! Hope it BLOWS UP! :)
Just stopping back in to watch this awesome video again. I was just telling my boss about your upcoming project and showed him your video. He loved it!
Wow...bottom end just crushes. The hardest songs to cover are the ones that were great the first time around as this certainly was when released. However, you’ve added to it with some incredible bottom end highlighted by some serious modern sequencing and production!
Thanks for the kind words Shawn! Yeah, I almost ditched this one because at first it sounded too much like the original, which I love! Going towards a Zedd-inspired version did the trick ;-)
WOW!! This is an amazing cover!! So glad it was posted on Frank R's Facebook group about Christians covering mainstream bands. I may officially like this better than the original!
@@JimDaneker it was posted by Frank Axel Rasenberger (I probably spelled that wrong), but he was told about it by Morgan Trotter. Here's a link. m.facebook.com/story/graphql_permalink/?graphql_id=UzpfSTcxNzAzNDEyMjpWSzozNTczMTk2ODE2MDc1MjI1
Great remake of an iconic song, applicable in our current time, but we do not have to succumb to the angst. Find someone you don’t agree with, buy them a coffee and listen to them. When we learn from others we can see through the ‘confusion’
Love this cover version of this song. This to me is pretty much 2020 in a nutshell with the Pandemic, riots, protests and whoever won the Election. I also identify with this as well. But I know that 2021 will be a better year, honestly ☺👍🙏🙇👫🎄🎅.
Excellent! Superb work. Thanks for sharing your wonderful creativity, skill and talent. There's an inevitable Nik Kershaw sound to this track - have you done any covers of Nik's work?
@@JimDaneker You obviously have a great affinity to the pop sounds of the 80s. But apart from the driving synth groove, and the general timbrel mix, your voice is part of what suggested that you could do a good Nik cover. Great job...!!!
It's a bit over-produced for my tastes but nearly everyone commenting here seems to be OK with it so I wouldn't take any points away for that. In all other respects... masterfully executed. I don't know who did final mix down but that person gets serious props - keeps the mix full but nice and clear. Vocals stand out like they should. They never get buried by the instruments. And instruments themselves don't become a muddy "cream of guitar soup" that I hear on far too many mixes these days. The tempo is excellent - not too fast, not too slow. I'm a big fan of using back beat to give a song it feeling. The musicianship is excellent but the production engineer deserve a ton of credit for this one.
Wow, thanks so much for kind review! I did the whole thing from top to bottom: all parts except the violin overdubs which were live, and I mixed the whole thing as well. It was a blast to do as I'm a sucker for any big iconic 80s song. Definitely put a lot into this one - it was kind of a love letter to one of my favorite bands and eras. Again, thanks for taking the time to write your kind comments!
@@JimDaneker You did a excellent job on this. It's probably good you don't live close to east Iowa... I'd be bugging you day and night to teach me what you know 🙂🙂. People who have never had experience with recording don't realize the amount of effort that can go into getting things just right. I My own efforts at this were clearly amateur. But I was trying to learn from a book. I'm sure I would have done better if I had a mentor to show me the way to do things and why.
@@disqusmacabre6246 Thanks again! So much of mixing is listening, and constantly comparing to similar tracks. It’s a skill that takes years - decades really - to get great at it. I’ve been doing it for 25 years and I’m still not where I want to be. Keep at it!
@@JimDaneker I couldn't say whether or not you'll make a boatload of money doing this butcI can clearly see from the responses here that it has already garnered you a TON of friends and when we reach the end of the road, it turns out that friends are infinitely more valuable than your stock portfolio. And you have a richness of friendships that will carry you far. And, you're a pretty darn good sound engineer as well!!
@@disqusmacabre6246 sadly there’s little to no money in doing covers like this, unless they happen to get picked up for licensing in a film or ad campaign. This one was purely for the love, and I felt like it was a timely song for 2020. Again, thank you so much for the very kind words!

Thank you so much - Comments like that from real Genesis fans mean the most. I’m a huge fan myself! 😁
I had to hear some of your music this morning to get moving, thanks for your take on this classic. I would love to hear more of your take on Genesis 🙂
Thanks Scott! Funny you say that - I’m brewing a whole epic 80s project. 😁
I kept saying this song perfectly encapsulates what we're going through now. Genesis had it down perfectly and this song makes me about cry when I listen to it lately. Awesome cover ❤️ I love it.
Thank you so much. I couldn’t agree more - it’s a timeless song!
Great cover of a classic song, Jim! 👍👍😎👆👆👆⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is the sound we want to hear ... the color, the texture and the plunge into synthesizers.
I'm so impressed that I added this awesome video/cover to my community section. A thousand thanks, dear Jim!!!
Very kind of you, thanks so much Rosanna!
excellent cover of this classic Jim, one of my favorite songs from my childhood! Great video as well!
Thanks so much!
Incredible cover! Very well done. Loved it!
Thanks so much!
This is brilliant Jim! Love the vibes and the message of the song!
Thanks bud!
Find the original song/video by Genesis/Phil Collins in 1986 with Reagan as its focus.
Amazing amount of work in this one song. You brought it back to life for our time.
Thanks Brian!
It's cool... has an 80's vibe.
it goes very nicely in my cyberpunk playlist

Thanks Chris. Yeah, this was a mammoth amount of work!

Thanks for keeping the 80's alive and relevant Jim! Hope to see you and Michael at Christmas show soon.
