Small Space, No Face - Pro-life song about an unborn child in the womb communicating with his mother.

October 5, 2025 - 7:02am — AlmosLataan

 

The above link is to a pro-life song I have recently made.

 

I've been appalled at the abortion movement, in all facets, but the drive to allow abortions up until birth is just so horrifying and upsetting, that we must do all we can to change public consciousness on this topic.

 

I don't particularly know  why abortion is so prevalent. There are likely a number of factors. But as a society, we seem to have exited a more Godly era, and have instead entered into a hedonistic passage of time where pleasure and individualism is the ultimate goal.  Perhaps society has drifted out of sync with the natural order (if we look at the older ages we are starting to have children), and we have to analyse why this is.  

 

So, this is just a song, which attempts to connect to prospective mothers. But ultimately, I think we need to look at society with a wider lens in order to analyse where things are going wrong. In other words, maybe a song won't make too much of an inroad, but hopefully with prayer and cummulative effort we can make further progress. (I'm in Europe which is a little behind in this regard).

Change?

Also, I realized upon finishing the song that I had made no reference to God. I'm unsure as to whether I should go back in and change one or two lines ... 

What do people think? Also, any other constructive criticism welcome.

Interesting point of view

This is an interesting point of view. Very simple poetry which is effective in conveying an intimate message of love from the preborn child. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, I would mention God. 

I would like to hear your voice a bit less "muddy". Can you brighten it by using EQ (equalization)? What software did you use to recird this?

I may have more suggestions later.

Oops

Oops, I replied to you, but below on normal thread.

Thank you for the feedback

Yes, perhaps I will go back in and change a few things then. I did originally have "God's child I am" in a very early version, but then I got caught up in rhyming, etc, and forgot to include a similar line. Probably shows too little prayer on my part.

In terms of voice, I think the culprit may be a lack of experience. I've just really started out with music. I will try to use EQ - I have heard it mentioned before, but I'm just taking one step at a time, and hadn't reached that yet! Ha. I think I also need to improve my ears.

In terms of recording, I'm actually a very untalented "musician", as I am using virtual instruments through a midi keyboard controller and free synthesizers to achieve the sounds. Although I use this keyboard to construct my melodies, I would not describe myself in any way adept at using it for performance. So essentially, I am using a DAW (Reaper) to collate everything.

Singing wise, I'm using a cheap behringer microphone. Not sure if this might affect things. But I don't want to be a poor workman and blame my tools!

Thank you again for the response. I was getting a little nervous after posting, but it is good to talk to someone.

Take a chance on collaborating!

You don't have to be nervous about posting here at this website. I remember my first few weeks of posting at MacJams.com in the year 2004. I had my first Mac capable of running GarageBand, and I knew very little about recording voice or instruments, using loops, and sequencing tracks. MacJams was set up as a music sharing and collaboration site. It ran strong for about 10 or 11 years, then fizzled out. But during that time I made a lot of good connections with other musicians and composers around the world. I started TCS in order to help re-create some of that collaborative spirit, especially with creating Christian songs. 

With your permission I will try to make some adjustments to your recording. I will send it to you soon.

A pro-life video I helped create from the father's perspective

I strongly support anti-abortion/pro-life songs.

Here is a collaboration I did with Sharon Shultz (who lives where I do in the Twin Cities (MN). It is a father's regret for having urged his wife/partner to abort their child.

Thank you for your suggestion

Thank you for your suggestion and help with the EQ. I will go in again with a word change I think.

Also, thank you for sharing your pro-life song. It's great to see that others are also supporting the unborn through their music.

Also, I had a little look on your YouTube. Wonderful to hear the hymn renditions, and see the community life.
