OK, another simple one that I just can’t seem to shake… I’ve had this around for several years. I just wrote the second verse while I was recording the demo, right on the spot, and I’m pretty stoked about it! Here ya go:

Here’s a different kind of tune…I’m pretty excited about it, but not sure how to make it “come alive”, you know? This is my super leather “lord-of-the-rings”! songwriting book I got for Christmas, and this was one of the first songs I wrote in it. I got the idea while driving late at night, and then got home and put it together. Here’s a rough idea:

A song celebrating God’s amazing forgiveness and the challenge to pass it along…

Many people ask me after an album has been out for awhile, “hey, when are you going to make a new CD?”. Well, I am now going to attemp to answer that question in a more thorough way than ever before: One of my intentions with this site is to document, song by song, the making of our next record - and you get to be a part of it! For the next several months, I will be writing songs, recording demos of them, talking to producers, recording the band, printing the artwork, and throwing the ALBUM RELEASE PARTY, and taking you along every step of the way! Ready???!

OK, here’s my first demo to share. It’s a little tune that got in my head on a long drive to Santa Cruz. Inspired by our church’s (www.ROCKHARBOR.org) message series and what God’s been teaching me these days. It’s pretty simple, so I’m not sure how it will work on a full-blown CD, but here it is to throw into the hat.
