songs

there are six songs up now.

contentment divine: 2003. a song of surrender to God. He is all that can truely satisfy. not blogging. not music. not even courtney. true satisfaction starts with Him and enables the love for courtney or music or blogging. its got a jacked up chord structure.

revelation 7: the best song to come out of the revelation project. a gospel song. the choir probably comes in too loud, but o well. i rushed the production. but is still like the song.

revelation 11: my homage to sufjan stevens. backporchy type of feel. featuring the little red piano and my foot stomping on my guitar case with a tambourine duct taped to it.

rain: this is my favourite song i have ever written. i was in a band called "the fellows" when i wrote and recorded this song.
the lyrics are:

i was alone on the concrete breathing in shoe
and through my pants my skin was red bleeding and wet
i fell down in the rain yeah

and the people have cried out
for a king with flesh and style
but a kingdom filled with dirt
has more style than its worth

and the people shouted loud
for the goddesses to be brought out
and the rain began to fall
O yeah come one

and the people will cry out
for longer than their gold is around
to a king in beggar's clothes

where the children laugh and clap their hands
and the fatherless rise from drifting lands
and the kingdom come with lifted eyes
its got more style than this earth

its a two part song. the first is about me falling down in the rain. and the second is about alot of things: fleshly desires. the media. our future hope. a contrast of kingdoms. etc.

you are what i care about: inspired by psalm 119:37. acoustic version. full version coming in a bit.

this my heart's cry: the song i wrote when i was 17 after reading the intro to Desiring God by john piper. for a long time, it was the only song i wrote that i would play in front of people.
