Singled Out: Ray Goren's Save My Soul

Today up and coming teen blues, rock, R&B guitarist and singer Ray Goren tells us about his new single "Save My Soul" which will be included on his forthcoming EP. Here is the story:

Someone really close to me found their spirituality at the age of 19. At the same time, he was attending a college that's kinda known for its parties and there is no doubt that he was facing temptations 24/7. That really inspired me and I wanted him to feel like I supported his decision. I wanted him to feel like it's OK to follow his heart, whether his heart lead him to parties or to church�. the key is never lose hope. I believe that if you are a good person and follow your heart everything will work out in the end. That is what the song is about for me. But I honestly like every listener to find his or her own meaning too. Once a song is released everyone associates it with different times or events from their own lives. That's one of the best things about song writing. To see how the meaning of the same song grows and changes for different people with different stories.

I only like to record songs that can be played live. In creating Save My Soul I wanted a production with a certain bite and an edgy modern feel. I also wanted to record on a live setting. We decided to use synth bass instead of a regular bass to give it a more modern sound, but we kept it simple enough so it can be played with a power trio. I played both the synth bass, most rhythm guitar parts lead guitar. The drums were recorded live by great hard driving drummer Rob Humphries and producer John Sosin added some rhythm guitar and synth sounds.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself here and learn more about the Ray and the EP right here!
