Recorded in Reaper with actual instruments mostly. Drums are virtual because I'm no drummer. Never played one on TV, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express(tm) last night. It ended up being about heckling.

In the still of night, my heart hears Your voice.
Forgive me, Father, for running once more.
Bind my heart, my feet, and desires to Your humble throne.

Worries Never Win

Maybe I’m someone

A tree falls in the forest

And it’s too late…
