NEW SINGLE
I still remember where I was sitting when this breeze of a new song began to blow through my mind. The melody came along with a question: “What if we had no fear, and the love in our hearts ran wild?” This is all I had, but it was all I needed to begin uncovering and writing the rest of my newest single Realms of God - It was initially titled “What If” and I can recall that as Aaron Ankrum and I were preparing to track this song I expressed wanting it to have a somewhat bright, vintage sound, and shared one my favorite Cat Stevens tunes as a sonic reference. I am so pleased with how this song came to life. It has a real celebratory, jovial personality to it, which the spontaneous piano over-dubs at the end especially highlight. The album is now in the final stages, and this track is a great foretaste of what’s to come. Overall it’s a very encouraging, hopeful, and redemptive story.
