Q: How did Ten Good men begin?
It began on a Tascam 4 track tape recorder in the 1990s. I have been dusting it off and reworking it for years. Ten Good Men is based on the Biblical destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha in Genesis 18:23-33. As the cities were besieged for destruction, Abraham pleaded with the Lord to save the cities if he found 50 good men therein... then 40 good men... then 30 good men. Finally, the Lord
promised he would not destroy the cities if he found ten good men. This song is about accountability.
Q: What's the story behind Notable Day?
The notable day of the Lord is a constant motif throughout scripture. It refers to the Lord's second coming and his strange act of destroying the wicked, remaking the earth, and retrieving the saints into his kingdom. It's strange because it is contrary to the loving creator who has tolerated sin for so many years until he executes a final judgment on the wicked. Albeit, the notable day is joyous for those who have waited all of our lives or died with the vision of living in his kingdom. 
Q: Why does You Won't Say sound different from your other songs? It shows my range of musical versatility, drawing on contemporary vocal,keyboard, and guitar influences without losing spiritual integrity. You Won't Say is about all of the things we should have said or done, but did not. It's about our sins of omission. |
