Everyone Gets to Play
So…. what does ‘you’re my everything mean’? Different things to different people for sure, this songs about ‘everything’ being ‘wholehearted’, its a live track in a camp setting with some tricky technical & equipment challenges, we went for it anyway in the spirit of wholeheartedness. The whole bands in on this one, Ian, Tanya, Carl,… Continue reading You’re My Everything
This is the same song that Simon recorded “live” directly into the mac (playing with a loop), except that we played with the vocals and pitch-shifted it downwards! Quite fun. We found it was quite hard for him to hear the pitch, so I think in the end we recorded it without the pitch-shifting and… Continue reading Be still and know – the effected vocal version
This is from our “Rumours of worship” time in August 2010. It’s a song that Simon felt we should sing after “How great is our God” and before “Dwell” – both not original – so we are not putting them on the site (yet). The “Psalm” that Simon and Cheryl did was a bit later… Continue reading Praise Awaits

Simon thought it would be great to use this song, but rework it so the kids could relate to it. It worked really well for the… Continue reading Onward Christian Soldiers
This a song I wrote a while ago and finally got to do a live recording at a worship session at a family camp. It was quite a different setup to what we initially thought but nevertheless the band was involved and that was the first public airing of this particular song. The band playing… Continue reading You Alone
An original song recorded on Ian’s Mac in his lounge. We had fun with the weird effects. Simon is singing and playing acoustic. No overdubs just playing to a loop. Simon couldn’t play to the metronome
Listening to a Santana riff one day, I started to write about my obsession, “Jesus”. The rest is history…… Bob is on bass. Ian is on guitar playing lead. Simon is vocals and autowah rhythm. Tanya is BGV’s. Hey wait for the ebow at the end. Again Ian the legend is on to it!
