SEPTEMBER: “FOREVER EVER YOURS” 

September is my wedding anniversary month. So, I thought it would be fitting to have this month's entry be a love song to my bride. This song is titled, “Forever Ever Yours”.  My wife and I were walking through a park one day, and some kids were drawing things on the sidewalk with chalk. I joined in, and drew a heart with our names in it. As we were driving home later, a storm rolled in, and it started raining. And I thought, “Oh no! There goes our chalk drawing!” That's what sparked the opening lines of this song: “We wrote our letters on the sidewalk, ‘In love’, ‘In love’. The rains came and washed the chalk off. Oh no! It's gone…” 

JANUARY: “SONG FOR THE ANGELS” 
If you ever came face to face with an angel, a real life angel, what would you do?
In the Bible, whenever a human encountered an angel, it says they were terrified. 
I think I would be too. And then…ashamed. Oh, what it must be like to go from the presence of God's glory to Earth. To be in the midst of all peace, warmth, and perfection, to the chaos and treachery of this world.  Yeah, I think, if I ever encountered an angel, my first words would be, “I'm sorry.” This song, cleverly titled “Song for the Angels” captures that feeling. I hope you enjoy it. If you do, please consider contributing to my tip jar! 

MARCH: “BROKEN”
Sometimes we build walls to protect ourselves. Other times, it's to hide what's on the other side. Often, it's both. In this song, titled, “Broken”, I try to capture that idea. Always trying to put on the brave face, be a man's man...but deep inside, hiding the insecurities and failings. As the chorus says, "I'm the captain of my own destiny but I never will be free...'cuz I'm broken."
