I Miss

#GTWD 335 - God-tracking is living an honest life

A song from the mind of someone feeling betrayed, who only wants the truth on a dark night
Ian Howell: Vocals, Lyrics and Tenor Guitar

I just want to see his Face

LYRICS IN DESCRIPTION

I created this song with the help of Udio. This is my third attempt at creating a song through Udio.

I wrote 75% of the lyrics to this song. The rest was co-written by me with the help of AI services (not Udio though).

Below are the lyrics:

I'm in love with a girl,
She’s really out of this world,
I'm in love with this girl,
She really lights up my world,
I'm in love with his girl,
My friend laid claim to this pearl,
Should I try to make her mine, and risk your judgment divine?
It's clear she's really fine, but you said: "Never throw pearls before swine!"

Oh, heavenly father, what do I do?
This heart's in a battle, but my soul’s in the blue,
I'm a god-fearing man, believe it or not, 
But love's a wild fire, and I'm caught in the spot.

I know she is hitched to my old buddy's heart,
And when it comes to being a good friend, so far I've played my part.
But when I look at her now, and contemplate her beauty,
I find it very difficult to uphold my religious duty.
Would you still kill the fattened calf, and celebrate my arrival?
Please give me a sign, it's a matter of survival.
I wouldn't be the first adulterer allowed to whore,
Before being told: "Go, and sin no more!" 

Oh, heavenly father, what do I do?
This heart's in a battle, but my soul’s in the blue,
I'm a god-fearing man, believe it or not, 
But love's a wild fire, and I'm caught in the spot.

Lord, please, have mercy on my soul! 
Obeisance to you has been my life's goal. 
Practicing your catechism, with perfect fanaticism, 
I now dance with the devil, as I flirt with this masochism.
Like Chinese water torture, the sweat drips from my brow, 
As I wait for your judgment, expecting it any day now! 

Even Lazarus, the wretch, had a chance to find rest,
In the arms of redemption, where love knows no test,
But for every sweet moment, there’s a price to be paid,
So I'm keeping my distance, hoping to salvage my fate.

Oh, heavenly father, what do I do?
Oh, this heart's in a battle, but my soul’s in the blue,
I'm a god-fearing man, believe it or not, 
But love's a wild fire, and I'm caught in the spot.

Before you embark, on this fool's errand dark,
Make time to make friends with the lord of the stark,
'Cause one thing's for sure, it's a perilous art, 
Banishment to hell will tear lovers apart.
Banishment to hell will tear lovers apart.
Oh, baby, will tear lovers apart.

Oh, heavenly father, what do I do?
I'm a god-fearing man, but I’m lost without you. 
Oh, heavenly father, what do I do?
I'm a god-fearing man, utterly lost without you. 
Oh, heavenly father, what do I do?

Love's a Wild Fire

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Middle Platonist philosopher and biographer Plutarch's essay On Being A Busybody

This episode focuses specifically on  his discussions bearing on the role lack or loss of self-control (akrasia in Greek) plays in the sort of problematic curiosity he criticizes in this work.  Plutarch claims that lack of self control is just as evident in this curiosity as it is in adultery. He also discusses some of the bad effects for the curious person, including being distrusted by others

Plutarch, On Being A Busybody - Curiosity And Lack Of Self-Control - Sadler's Lectures

This sermon was delivered by Pastor Cory Klein at New Hope Church of Oxford on June 15, 2025.  The text of Scripture is Exodus 20:14.

Exodus 20:14 - You Shall Not Commit Adultery

David Is Not the Hero, Adam Kohlstrom

Daily Devotions with Pastor John David Mull of Shepherd of The Valley on the three-year Lectionary Readings. Lectionary C, 12th Sunday After Pentecost.

Hebrews 13:1-17

This week, we delve deep into the heart of desire and temptation as Daniel Barth explores the seventh commandment. The message goes beyond the surface-level understanding of 'do not commit adultery,' challenging us to examine the very roots of our desires. We're reminded that God's commandments are not mere restrictions, but guideposts for a fulfilling life. The story of adultery in Proverbs 7 vividly illustrates how unchecked desire can lead us astray. Yet, we're also offered hope through James' teachings, which reveal that our struggles with temptation are universal and deeply human. This message encourages us to seek true intimacy with God, recognizing that our deepest longings can only be fully satisfied in Him. As we navigate the complexities of human relationships and desires, we're called to pray fervently for the renewal of our minds, trusting in God's transformative power to align our hearts with His will.

I use Udio to create my own songs. Udio is capable of producing a vast array of musical styles, but I only create songs that I personally enjoy. The lyrics are either fully written by me, or co-written by me with some additional help from AI services (not Udio), after I’ve carefully defined what the song should be about, and written my own original lines for it. I strive to write as much as possible of the lyrics myself. In the description of each song you’ll find the lyrics, as well as information about whether the lyrics were fully written by me, or co-written with the help of AI.

Daniël Majoor, also the producer behind the Alio Forte project,  has been involved with electronic music since childhood.

Growing up with the music of Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, OMD, Ultravox, Depeche Mode, and later the Ambient scene, he tried to emulate his idols with the few instruments he had. Daniël was primarily interested in sounds and learned to create his own sounds on borrowed synthesizers and keyboards.

Daniël is self-taught, doesn't read music, and taught himself to play.

Later in life, he was able to create his own studio and fulfill his dream: being surrounded by synths and technology, as in the photos of Jarre and Vangelis, while creating his own soundscapes and compositions.

Daniël doesn't see himself as a musician, but rather as someone who "paints" with sound. Just as a painter mixes his colours, Daniel continually experiments with new sounds until he has found the right atmosphere.
