Years ago on my first three song EP released, I wrote a piece called “Eden’s Angel”. I was so proud of it, because it was the first song I wrote that I actually liked! Yes, we as songwriters, have many moments where we look back and think “What was I thinking?” when we write songs. This particular song I wanted to be wistful and romantic, so when David Rosa produced this piece he added a really beautiful classical guitar that made it just that, in a real minimalist sort of way. Now years later I have thought to myself…it’s so beautiful simple, but I should lower it…I sang it way too high! I should add some strings while I’m at it…and I should do this for a good cause.
Over the last few years people have used this song for weddings, and for funerals…most recently in association with little children..either the death or birth of children. Justin and Trish Christensen, two very special people to me are going to use this song to help raise money for an adoption they are trying to complete before the end of the year for two children who have down syndrome. I am a huge supporter of the amazing and wonderful adventures some dare to take. So stay tuned for the newest edition of this song. We just had Kasey Carmondy in the studio to play some classical guitars.
He’s an amazing talent in Vegas, and his guitar sounds like butta! Next week I will have Matt Trygg in the studio for back ground vocals. I love working with Matt as well…..we have such a good time messin’ around…and he’s sick when it comes to background vocals. Hopefully when all is said and done we will have a fabulous track to help fundraise for this adoption!
Special shout out to Nephi Oliva, and Talbot Snow for working on this project with us @ Sound Masters
Tonight I’m on the road working on shttttuuff! I’ll hit you all back when I have more exciting things to talk about!
