SOS2016 Update

I figured it was about time for a Summer of Songs 2016 update, since I'm almost six weeks in, so here you go!  

All in all, SOS2016 has been what I hoped it would be.  The mere fact that I have had to stay accountable for this adventure has kept me pressing on through days when I think I should be tackling other things.  That isn't to say that other responsibilities haven't crept in and caused me to shift gears occasionally because they have.  I've had to cancel co-writes in order to take care of normal life stuff like car repairs, running kids, and dealing with the unexpected mini=crisis here and there.  I've had to sacrifice some personal refueling time because I still have a business to run and that requires my attention.  But all in all, the focus has been incredible helpful.  

While many songs have been written or rewritten in this season, I have had to give just as much attention to the other aspects of a songwriter's life - producing, administration, marketing, etc.  Those things aren't nearly as much fun for me, but they are a necessary part of what I do.  As with any job, we sometimes have to slug it out through the yucky stuff in order to experience the joy of doing what we love.  I've also been able to unleash a bunch of songs through a new VBS project and a couple of new musicals.  I'll post links to some of that below. 

Just for fun, here's a list of some of the songs that have been born, rewritten, demoed, or unleashed in the past six weeks:

You Belong 
​Hand of God 
For the Lovers Out There 
Fade From You 
My Name
The Safest Place to Be
Higher Ways
Signs
Jesus is Better
All the Way Home
Rock His House
Found
Dig
Location, Location, Location
What a Friend
Unselfie
Self Less
Love is Changing Me
Share Yourself 
Streets I Never Went Down
Alive and Well
The Best Day of My Life

Another song will hopefully be born today as I head into the virtual writing room with a couple of regular co-writers.  We will talk, dream, complain, encourage, hope, discuss, and hopefully create something that matters.  I can't wait to add another song to the list.
