Decisions! Decisions!
Posted on March 6, 2010 with 0 comments
I have entered 3 songs in the Contemporary Christian Music Network International songwriting contest for the first quarter. You can enter three songs a quarter. They then give you song critiques. ( http://www.christiansongwriting.com/ )
The songs are Celebrate "God With Us", And I Wonder, and The Lord Of Lords Is Risen Today. I started adding vocals to my web site so the judges would have a place to go to hear the songs. I also wanted to show people there are more sides to my music than just instrumental music.
Two of the next three songs I am going to enter are Looking For Something New and Live For The Moment. They are both on my web site on the video page. I might re-record them. There are a couple of little boo boos I want to correct. I am allowed to enter these songs on April 1.
Now here comes the hard part. I have two choices. My signature song is called To Know You. I wrote that song back in 1985 when I was on tour with the Reach Out Singers. The other song I wrote about a year ago is After The Pain.
To Know You is a song that I wrote about being amazed that God would take time to get to know me, an imperfect sinner in need of redemption. After the Pain was written about a year ago after I went through some personal hardships and some of my friends and relatives were going through tough struggles as well. It is a song about where we can be totally honest to God about our hurts and pains and He will still accept us.
Eventually I will enter both songs, but I can only enter 3 a quarter, so I have a tough decision to make as to which one to enter for the second quarter.
Maybe what I will let my fans decide! I really don't like to think about me as having fans, but I would rather think of my fans as my friends who like my music!
Whatever the decision, I will soon have to make one. April 1 is not that far away!
Have a great day!
