Flying is my fave song of Cody and this was such a cool way to deep dive into it. Almost three years later and it didnt even aged one bit, this song gives me so much joy.
I cannot even make myself try to listen to the French horns once he adds his vocal track. It's like the voice of an angel. Brilliant! Thank daughter and granddaughter for bringing this guy to my attention!
I absolutely love the risks you are taking with combining so many different musical styles on this album! Your orchestrations and interludes are tasteful and add beautiful color to tracks like "Flying." So enjoyable to hear your creativity shining through these songs. Thanks for sharing!
Your passion is so clear in every song. I love this album and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the different styles put together in one album. I cannot wait to see what is coming next.
I've cried so much with this song Just went through a hard time with someone very close to me. I thought my faith was supposed to be enough to carry us through. I never felt so left in the dark before. But God! Man he lifted me up in the darkest moment. Everytime I listen to this song I was reminded of that moment With my tears streaming down my face I will always remember I'm on God's wings and not my own. Keep at it my dude your music is impacting so many.
That was so cool. I wish more artists would do that with more songs. It’s really cool to see and hear those moments in some isolation. A question beyond the recording aspect, what has the imagery of flying represented in your life? You seem to be an artist that writes from genuine life experience, is there any specific life moments in mind when writing this song, especially as it titles the album as well?
Thank you for sharing this, it's no doubt that music is an expensive field, but this is song is a beautiful example of how modern technology can mix well with live instruments and human creativity.
Cody this is so great! Thanks for giving us a look into your process behind the song. It's really phenomenal. I actually cried the first time that I heard those french horns come in. Not even joking.
This is some next level stuff, Cody! Really really inspirational and exciting to see what you're doing! Your mastery of arranging, producing and composing is incredible!
This is so cool! It's so great to see other artists workflow and the changes the song goes through! You should do a video about how you begin a song! I usually start with a progression and then hum a melody until I find what I like but I would love to see your methods!! Rock on brutha 🤙🏼
I love everything about ur songs! Whenever i listen to ur album im like ok lets hear it 1 more time ! Amazing ! I wish u can do a music video to 1 of the songs of this album beside go honestly!!!! Love u ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome stuff Cody! learned of you through a Ben Rector concert a couple years ago and I absolutely love your music! I am a producer/engineer so I totally adore these types of videos. Keep it up!
I’ve always thought Cody and Ben had like similar... styles, if that’s the right way to put it, but I had no idea they’re connected in any way, have they ever worked together?
Is there any plugins you absolutely recommend to use for orchestras? I’m working on my composition and I may possibly be emailing you my composition haha! But is there any plugins you can recommend to get the most authentic orchestra sound….even though it won’t be as authentic as live haha. Let me know! You’re awesome! Keep it up!
"after we decided to put orchestra on every song" aka the BEST DECISION EVER
YES
Plenty of singers *try* to orchestrate their songs, but as a band kid, he actually does it RIGHT 😭🥰
Flying is my fave song of Cody and this was such a cool way to deep dive into it. Almost three years later and it didnt even aged one bit, this song gives me so much joy.
Look! At 2:52 you can see Cody's folder for "If Only My Heart Could Speak," which hasn't been released yet! I wanna see inside that folder
You called it it’s a banger
This song makes me cry, just the music! It's brilliant @Cody Fry!
on their own, the orchestral ostinatos sound like they’re from the score of “Interstellar”!
I thought the same thing! Especially with the added synth. Cody should use organ in a song someday🤯
Cody, PLEASE breakdown "Underground." It's such an ethereal, unbelievable, out of this world song, man!
