Mighty To Save - Hillsong United (Ben Folds Five style arrangement)

There's no real "video" to it, and the concept behind it is explained on the video itself.

And I know I didn't get the melody exactly right in some places, oh well ;-)

@cornisharegreat Thanks!

I'm "based" in Honolulu, Hawaii for the time being (until I get my PhD).

Interesting. I play the bass in the band at church. We did the actual version of this song last Sunday. Very creative.

Sometimes the simplicity and repetitiveness of CCM can get on my nerves, so instead of complaining about it (like I used to), I did this! :-)

As a Ben Folds fan and an agnostic I am not offended by this at all, and Hillsong United wouldnt be unhappy about it as its not offensive religiously so I think everyone gives it a thumbs up :)

I generally hate inspirational music outside of certain butt-kicking black gospel, so even as a lover of Ben Folds it was tough to give this a try. I'm so glad I did. To answer you question, I would guess the Christians. I've seen Ben Folds live several times and the guy has a hell of a sense of humor. I think he would laugh his ass off at this, you should send it to him.

Ben Folds Five fans. Most definitely. Mainly because all of Ben Folds' music has a very direct Atheistic undertone. All of it. Still, nice arrangement. Little more energy wouldn't hurt, but overall, very nice.

This arrangement is amazing! I completely understand if the answer is no, but I was wondering if I could possibly get a copy of sheet music for this arrangement. We have an amazing horn section and pianist in our music praise team but we don't really do much to let them have some fun. I would really enjoy playing this at my church.

I think if the vocals didn't fit the instrumental, you should have changed them. I'm sure nobody would be offended that you didn't stay true to the original or anything.
