Dear Heart

Post December 21 Dear Heart.jpg

Another song introduction for you!

This song was partly inspired by a passage from C.S. Lewis' book "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader"...

There's a part where all the heroes are on a ship (the Dawn Treader), and they sail into a dark fog. They sail for what seems like forever--losing all track of time, and they get completely lost.

Until...

Finally, Lucy calls out for Aslan's help.

Ahead, they see a beam of light cut through the fog, and a bird flies down and around the mast. As it flies around them, Lucy is the only one who hears these words...

"Courage, dear heart."

Able to follow after the bird, the ship escapes the darkness.

I've always loved that part of the book, and when I started writing this song, I needed to hear those words myself: "Courage, dear heart."
 
"Dear Heart" will be on Wander With Me.

Preview...

Here are a couple more song titles from Wander With Me!

Post December 14 Like No Tomorrow.jpg

"Little sparrow,
Fly like no tomorrow...
Leave this storm behind
Just know that you were mine..."

There is a lot I could say about this one, but I wouldn't want to give everything away... 

This song was inspired by a conversation with my sister and Matthew 10:29-31:

"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."

"Forever Young" is the song I've closed most of my shows with for the past year, and I loved recording it. It's one of my favorites, and it only becomes more special to me every time I get a chance to sing it.

What is your favorite line from this Bob Dylan classic?

I can't wait for you to hear these. :)

On another note, I found three nice, new, happy reviews on iTunes for "Smoke and Mirrors", and... you guys...

Thank you so much for your lovely words.
They mean the world.
Especially right now when everything seems so quiet.

If you have a moment, please do leave a review on iTunes--that is extremely helpful in many, many ways (as well as very encouraging)!

Thank you!

I just wanted to say thank you!

Thank you for downloading "Smoke and Mirrors"!
(It's available on iTunes now! Finally made it to the party!)

Thank you for watching the lyric video and sharing it!
(Evan did a beautiful job, didn't he?!)

Thank you for your kind, lovely comments about the song.

There's always a little bit of anxiety that comes along with releasing a new song... into the wild... to fend for itself...

So kind, lovely comments are very encouraging--thank you!

While I'm here, I might as well introduce the next song on Wander With Me, don't you think? :)

Here is another song title for you...

POSTED-Really Truly Only.jpg

"Really Truly Only" was initially inspired by a comment I've heard many times through the years (all in good fun, of course): "You know... I've come to the conclusion... that I only like us."

This song is for those who can relate.

Can't wait for you to hear it. :)
