I started off knowing what kind of a sound I wanted the songs I am working on to have but I stopped for a while. During this time I have had much to think about it. Actually read some articles or interviews when it comes to songwriting from artists I look up to like Brooke Fraser, Vicky Beeching, and Darlene Zschech.
During this time I have also had a couple of things on my mind that pretty much got me to thinking what is the real message I want my songs to send. I do not want to just write songs about things I go through in life. Though writing songs like these might connect with whoever will eventually hear them, I want to write something that goes beyond that. Not for me but for whoever will listen to the songs. I want them to get just more than another person who is going or has gone through what they have but offer them a solution, an answer to those situations.
I have decided to take on a new direction on this songwriting business. For now I am going to stop writing my own songs, well not true. I will continue writing my own songs but right now I want to re-record some songs I love. I'm picking 4 or 5 to record and make an EP from those. I am translating these songs to spanish and making my own arrangements to some of these songs. Today I began working and arranging a song that has recently been released this year that is so simple yet so powerful. His Glory Appears written by Darlene Zschech. Amazing song.
This is what I will be working on now.
