I found a little time over the last couple days to do a little songwriting! These are precious moments for me these days in between all the driving, coiling up of hoses and cables, hooking up the van and trying my hand at a little scheduling. Many days I feel one part musician, and ninety-nine parts driver/mechanic/cook/secretary/booking guy/etc… However, here and there I find some repose and just enough quiet to strum and hum, which is my normal approach to song writing.
Today I worked on a tune for Psalm 67. In some ways it feels a bit to poppy for me, but the Psalm lends itself to some repetition both musically and lyrically. We’ll see how it works over time, but I’m going to try it out this Lord’s day in Punta Gorda, FL!
I also finished up a tune called Comfort Me Again, which is a prayer for for strength in weakness. It turned out to be a sort of groovy fingerpicked tune with some very fun instrumental sections. Perhaps I’ll post some rough versions soon.
Can’t wait for the next precious moment to arrive, but I’m sure that won’t be for a few weeks as the next couple look packed with TV, radio, and concert dates! This is a wild time….
