▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Hello everyone, and welcome to Sound Music Week #65!
I’m @akwash360, and in this week’s rendition, I’ll be doing a cover of the beautiful gospel song “Never Be the Same” by David Dam, a passionate gospel minister and worshipper based in Jos, Nigeria.

This is actually my first encounter with his music. I had never heard about him until recently, when a friend was playing the track on their phone. The sound immediately caught my attention, and I couldn’t help but ask for more details about the song and the artist behind it. What struck me first was the arrangement and style of the music. I’ve always been a fan of slow, spirit-filled worship songs, and this one fits perfectly into that category. The melody was calming, yet spiritually stirring, and it instantly resonated with me.

Although I didn’t catch all the lyrics at first, I made sure to take note of the song’s title and the artist's name. Later on, I searched for the full lyrics to better understand the message of the song. And I must say,the lyrics really spoke to me on a personal level. The message of transformation and devotion in the song is incredibly powerful, and I believe many others out there can relate to it as well. It’s one of those songs that seems to meet you right where you are spiritually.

From a musical standpoint, the composition is well thought out and beautifully presented. David Dam, the lead vocalist, delivered the song with so much grace and emotion. His voice was soothing and expressive, carrying the weight of each lyric with sincerity and depth. He also did an excellent job staying in key and flowing with the instrumentals, which is something not every live performance achieves. In some songs, you’ll notice a disconnect between the vocals and the instruments, either the singer gets ahead or the instrumentalists lag behind. But in this song, everything worked in perfect harmony.

Speaking of instrumentals, the team behind this performance clearly knew what they were doing. The sound was clean, professionally mixed, and free of any unnecessary noise. Each instrument was handled with such expertise that their synergy was impossible to miss. It’s obvious that they’re not just skilled individuals, but a well-rehearsed and dedicated team that takes their craft seriously. Their level of professionalism really added to the overall excellence of the piece.

The background vocalists also deserve a major shoutout. They were good on this song to be honest. Their harmonies were tight, their entrances were timed perfectly, and they delivered each part with energy and passion. You could feel their commitment and passion in every note. They were not just singing, they were ministering. Their contributions added depth and richness to the song, lifting it even higher.

Thanks for visiting my blog and I hope you enjoyed my entry for the week in this community.
