I wrote this song for the amazing Josh Cleveland (my RD last year). 
The recording's poor and it's silly, but it's fun all the same. Don't worry if you don't get all the inside jokes. 

Ode to Josh Cleveland

This song is all to God's glory, using what musical talent he has blessed me with.

This is me. I wrote "Pledge" about a year ago, played all the parts in this recording (nothing digital or ripped) on Audacity. It's not the best quality, but I'm good with it for now :)

This song is a love song. I hope it will be about someone someday. I had my future wife in mind when writing it, leaving it open enough to not be about anyone specific, yet pouring out my heart in a way that it will be special when I am able to sing it to someone with meaning.

Tracks: 2 vocals, guitar, piano, mandolin, bass, percussion (consisting of a couch, an empty wheat thins box, the rubbing of my foot on carpet and a lot of EQ work :)

Key: B (Capo 2 and cut capo 4 for guitar)

Pledge

The first one seemed to have way too much bass, causing some cracks and pops, so i reduced the low's on the bass part and made the kick drum more present. I think this mix is better and will have less cracks and pops (hopefully).

At A Loss (2)

This song is completely a product of the grace of God, the one who blessed me with whatever music ability I have, as well as the inspiration for my writing. This song is an attempt to capture the emotions of the characters in the parable of the prodigal son told by Jesus. If anything, it is just one interpretation of how I see both the Son and the Father in that parable. The Lyrics in the Chorus are from the Father's point of view, and the rest of the song is from the Son's point of view. 

Tracks: Vocals, Guitar, Bass, 2 Trumpets, Vibraphone


Prodigal

Come Thou Fount (Acoustic)

I  touched up the vocals a little bit from the original... This is a worship song I wrote recently based on Psalm 130... I threw it together in a day, so it may be a little rough at times, but I'm happy with it.

Out of the Depths

It's a little rough at times, but I was happy enough with it to put it up :) It's one of my attempts at a Worship song that doesn't fit the typical mold, both lyrically and musically. I wanted to do something different that gives glory to God in a new way. I wrote this song as a personal expression of worship, so I'm not worried if it's not perfect or if others don't like it.
