Jul. 2, 2008 - "Everybody with your fists raised high - Let me hear your battlecry tonight"
Have you guys heard the song "Frontline" by Pillar???? I just discovered it. It's like 4 years old or something. But it's amazing. It's on my playlist. At the bottom. (Hey, just saving the best for last.) You should really listen to it. I liked it so much I went to Lifeway the day after i heard it and bought the CD it was on. Yeah. That doesn't usually happen. But I figured, hey why not? It's the album Where Do We Go From Here. It's pretty sweet.
So I've been working on a lot of new songs lately. :) I'm thinking pretty soon we're gonna start working on recording a new CD. It won't be any kind of fast process, because I'm not exactly sure all of the songs that are suppose to be on it. I write constantly, and with the last CD "The Speed of Dark" almost didn't make it onto the list. Funny story. I was actually in the car on the way to the studio and I looked at my Daddy and said, "I think I want to record 'Speed of Dark' instead of the other one." What I should have said was, God's doing something big with this song and if we don't record it, we could be in trouble. hahaha. But seriously, that song took me into a whole new season of my life. I think this next album is going to do the same thing. I'm hoping for a complete full-band, 10 to 12 tracks album. Don't know how long it's gonna take, but we'll get there. :)
I'm very excited about the new songs. The lyrics are definitely a step up. See I wrote most of the songs on the last CD when I was 14 years old. Actually...I wrote all of them when I was 14...except I wrote Set Me On Fire at 13 and Speed of Dark at 15. Weird huh? haha. So you could say I've grown up a little bit and my writing has grown with me. The music's gonna be a little fuller and deeper as well, I think. Anyway...
So thank you to all of you who sent up prayers for my back. It's been doing better. I've been having to take it a little slower than usual, which doesn't fit very well with my schedule. But I'm managing. It's not convenient to be a musician without roadies. But thankfully, God's providing that too! I let the guys do most of the lifting and actually one of my friends who's coming to the concert needs a ride with us, so he'll be drafted into the moving/lifting department as well. :) I'm very stoked to play at Rocketown. I know how perfect God's timing is, and I know we're not there by accident. He's gonna do some awesome things!
Anyway...I smell something yummy in the kitchen, so I think I'll go check that out now. Have a great day, and don't forget to check out that song!!!

I've not figured out how to put pictures on my MP3 player yet, but then again I haven't really placed much priority on it. I got it for music, and one or two movies. Something to occupy myself with when we're going on long car drives and people don't want to listen to the music I like listening to. Hehe, I'm like the only one in our family that likes Zoegirl, and Britt Nicole a lot and can listen to them nonstop. So I can listen to my music and they can listen to their music, and we're all good. -happy smile-
I'll have to listen to that song, I just heard of Pillar the other week from a new friend that likes to listen to them.
