Some words some words - briefly •

what mean he by these stones. these are jagged pockets of dence thought through out soft tissue that you seamlessly string together with rhythms and ribbon of melody.

Shout out to the girl who called me a man of stars, and to the guy that asked me if I “... ever feel like you’re avoiding something.”

They are the only ones who might make it to the final words of this;

Hanging with SAVERCOOL

I was given a great opportunity to hang out with Richard Savercool this weekend and fill in for him while he was letting his voice rest.

It was such a different experience to jam the front spot for a rock band. I felt like Jagger a little bit ;)

From: a city made of stone

It’s appropriate that this exploration from 2009 be part of the streaming and download release.  

I can remember the color of the room I lived in at the time: a Dark red and muddy green brown recording. it has become in its current form as the introduction to Dark Water.

A time stamp to date the beginning of things.  It’s a place where I first explored this landscape—a different time.

after dark water
your writing voice
don't talk with this voice
it's just a faint echo that bounces around
no public post
no desire for insight
no real defense
no real patients
lacking in response
despondent
virtually lethal
a low hanging star
less humidity
a cool breeze
you could run away
like you were 22 again
shut down
pack up
return on occasion
maybe not

forget I said anything...

 

Announcing the Dark Water EP

As some of you might know, on September 9th, I went into the studio for the second time this year to record the Dark Water - EP.

Dark water is about artistry and applying your work ethically, and honoring the artist before the entertainer by displaying its value, but not discrediting its habitual, emotional, and spiritual implications.

The music starts in late 2009 to early 2010, shortly after I moved to Texas.

I spent a lot of time with a man speaking about my early childhood and the things that have plagued me emotionally. We spoke on many things, but what this record talks about are the things that I was too ashamed to say. I wore a mask of the man I'd made myself become so that I could deal with the truth I was hiding through my blatant honesty.

The record also reflects this current time in my life, where the dangers of uncertainty and having to measure risk plague me with fear; however, by the Lord's grace he offers us the option of His repentance for the safety of resting in Him.

Like a boat on a river of water and blood, a man proceeds down the crystal waters of a tributary, fouled with streams of failure in being a servant of God, yet glorified with the streams of Christ Jesus’ blood.

One must follow the source of Jesus’ redemptive flow at all costs of obedience, sacrifice, and offering through the crystal stream, through the treacherous storm, and finally to the celestial shore of His great kingdom where His work is to be done.

At the close of the record, the river splits towards two directions, and the message is carved: which path with you take?
