Delay of Game...

We just switched to a new computer and I'm having some technical difficulties with protools right now. I am unable to record at this moment but I will post this weeks song soon. I love you guys. Thanks for understanding.

Song of the Week 10.07.08

Hey Ladies and Gentlemen,

Sorry again for lack of posts lately. Life has been pretty crazy, It seems like there has been an overwhelming since of responsibility on my hands. Most of it's good stuff, it just keeps me really busy. Anyway,
The song this week is titled Babylon. It's actually one I've been working on a little bit longer than this week. It comes out of psalm 137 where it talks about God's people being in captivity in Babylon and almost forgetting there first Joy, Zion. As I was writing this song I felt really compelled to stay true to the text. Sometimes I allow my self the liberty to expound on the ideas but I just felt that this needed to be as close to verbatim as I could get it. Because of that it became a rather long song. I struggled a lot with the tension of feeling like I should make it fit a tighter mold but there was still just this pulling inside of me that said, "stay true to the text and let it take as long as it needs to." So that's what I did.
I really like the feel of this song, it's different from the way I usually write and it was a nice change. It's no Jimmy Cliff, but it'll do.
I try to be better at posting on time but the truth is I'm exhausted. There has been a lot of different circumstances that have caused me to feel weighted down lately emotional and physically, but I will do my best to keep the music coming, even it the hard times.
I Love you all a lot, We'll talk next week.
