Hello everyone! It is so great to see the subscribers number keep going up. I am humbled and grateful that you are listening. It was a busy weekend for us. Being that is was a beautiful Memorial Day weekend, we spent most of our time outside and with family. The weather was perfect all weekend long. As I sit and write this the rain is falling and the temps are a welcomed cool from the heat of the weekend. There is not much to report on the musical side of things. Life has been busy lately and I haven't had much time to focus on songs. Ideas are brewing though so I know more songs are soon to be developed. This week's song story is for the song, "From The Embrace." FTE is a song about a conversation I had with God, or better said, He had with me while my wife was pregnant with our first child. He gave me some clear guidelines and made me aware of things I needed to change in my life if I was going to be a good husband and dad. The first two verses are basically God talking to me and letting me know what I need to change. The third verse is my reply to Him. It's basic enough. Musically speaking, though, there are many different layers of instruments. This was on purpose. It represents all the paths we take in life and how only ONE path leads to Christ. The violins throughout the song represent the Holy Spirit and how He is constantly guiding and leading us even when we go astray and follow paths that aren't the best for us. You'll notice in the end "jam" of the song that the violins are there, then they're not and then they come in much stronger and more pronounced and eventually take over the theme of the music. All the other instruments fade and the violin is dominant. I see it that way in life as well. The Holy Spirit is always there leading us and nudging us in the way we should go, but we don't always listen. We find ourselves somewhere we don't want to be and cry out to be saved. He steps in and leads us back. The goal is to listen ONLY to Him and follow ONLY Him. When we walk in step with the Spirit (God, Jesus) all of life falls into place and things make much more sense. I hope you enjoy the song and are able to hear all of the layers a bit different now that you know the meaning behind the song. Be well and be kind to one another. Please keep listening and feel free to email me if you'd like. It's always nice to hear from you and hear what the songs mean to you. Take care. Aaron/Caster9
