And Another

I started another song today... my fourth consecutive love song and the second one I am working on concurrently.  It's loosely based on a love story that started in 1977 and ended in 2009.  I'm kinda shy when it comes to gals, hard to believe, right?  But because of that, my late wife Cindy and I got off to a rocky start.  Over time she found that even though at first she didn't think I was the man she wanted, in the long run I was the man she needed.  If you haven't read the story, you can read the long version here.  There are three blog posts covering the whole story, starting with the post regarding how we met.  It's a great story if you have the time.

Songwriters find sources for their songs everywhere.  Someone asked me if my dad was the man behind "The Worn Pages" and I told him that, in fact, the story was pulled together from a variety of sources -- my own Bible, situations that people are facing today, and the desire to represent an ordinary man who finds real answers for life in the God of the Bible.

So, in this latest love song, I will go back a few decades and draw on a true story, put in in a more modern setting, but try to communicate the same thing... God gives us what we need, not necessarily what we want.
