“Walking in the Sonlight” Demo

YAY! After staying up way later than I intended to tonight, with my contacts dried out and plastered to my eyeballs, so I'm looking through a blurry haze, I finally figured out how to embed a little player, and how to host audio files, etc., so that I can put my music up here! YAAAAAAY!

So far, I've only posted one song, which is the audio file for “Ordinary Days.” You can now listen to the song at the original post, Not an Ordinary Performance.

Then, after you download the player and listen to that one, you can come back here and listen to this song. I wrote it in the cab of my truck while I was driving courier truck, and Candace sang it on a song-writer's demo album we put together in 2003. So far, no takers on the song, but I have dreams of eventually recording a full album and just selling it ourselves.

(Yikes! The moola that takes, though—just to do ten songs on a songwriter’s demo would have cost us $10,000! Real albums would be at least double that! So, stop and think about that next time you are tempted to pirate music. The people you are really hurting are the hopefuls, just starting out, who have to foot the enormous bill for these recordings themselves. Or the record companies that take a chance on these hopefuls, knowing they will lose money on at least 80% of them. I could go on, but I won't.)

Enjoy!

Walking In The Sonlight

Seems like I'm living my life in a haze
Of darkness, confusion, it's been raining for days.
No reprieve from the pain, this burden of sin
Till love touched my heart and the Son shone in!

Now I'm walking in the Sonlight
Running through the fields of grace
The love of the Father is shining on my face
So I spread my arms wide open
And laugh into the wind
I'm walking in the Sonlight once again.

To the heart that's been broken, To the woman left alone
To the soul that is hungry for a taste of freedom's song
There's a voice that is calling, "Come out of the night,
I have conquered the darkness, you are the children of Light."

Now I'm walking in the Sonlight
Running through the fields of grace
The love of the Father is shining on my face
So I spread my arms wide open
And laugh into the wind
I'm walking in the Sonlight once again.

(Ooo, I'm walking)Oooo
(Ooo, I'm walking) I'm walking by His grace
(Ooo, I'm walking) I'm walking, I'm walking in the Sonlight!

(Repeat chorus)
