Cocos Lovers -Listening Ear

This is a brilliant song that I've just discovered, which we played for the first time at our church when we had FIVE baptisms and dedication on the same Sunday!!

The wonderful backing vocals are by Jo, sensitive and creative bass by Pete, lovely organ playing by Chris.  We only learned the song together that week and I'm pretty chuffed with the result.  It was recorded by a basic MP3 recorder at the back of the church.

Check out Third Day's songs - they are pretty flipping amazing!!

BTW - the photo is when I went walking around my friend's town with their pet Ball Python called Cinnamon.

Carry My Cross (cover of Third Day song)

A song of gratitude for the life of my dear friend Martin, who died two years ago.  I wrote most of it the week after his death, intending to play it at his funeral, but it was too raw and i couldn't finish it back then.  This weekend, taking part in a ceremony of remembrance for him, I caught and reeled-in the bridge which completes my feelings.  It's a very simple song.
------------------------------------
When I was a boy, you were already a man
And I could tell by the way that you opened a beer, you could do anything you turned your hand (to)
To me, when things went bad, you were the brother that I’d never had
If I didn’t say it before - thank you for that.

And you were a brave one, crossing those lines in the sand
that say that “You can’t go to uni at thirty you old man! Just stick to the work that you can (do)”
Do you know what you did?  You proved there’s no age limit on being a kid
I know I said it before - thank you for that.

I’m so glad to have known you, even now when I’m counting the cost
And somehow you gave me what I needed to survive your loss

Surrounded by people, but somehow you still felt alone
And you had been working your whole life, caring for others, healing everyone’s pain but your own
And now you’ve been gone for more than a week, I don’t know if those are raindrops or tears on my cheek
All of that pain, you didn’t deserve, we’re all here because we loved you the way you were
Holding hands tight, it’s ok to be sad, you were the best friend that I ever had
I’m going to say it once more - thank you for that.

Martin's Song - D. Flecknoe

An interesting look into a more atmospheric / moody style of writing, Cocaine low is the perfect metaphor for anything in life that is your passion, but also that takes too much of your life up without achieving your end goal, but being addicted you can't stop doing it
