This week One Sonic Society is in the studio at The Tracking Room Nashville.

We’re recording a live worship event on Friday night with 70 plus guests singing with us…in our natural environment…a studio in Music City.

Apart from Jason, Paul and I we have the privilege of having, Jimmy Abegg (guitars and mando) Tony Lucido (bass)  and Matt Stansfield (keys) playing with us. We will also be joined by Cara Fox (cello) 

An amazing week by anyone’s standards!

Happy New Year!

Kingdom Of Comfort acoustic version

So it’s 2012…a new year. So why start with an old delirious? song and not a new one?

A little nostalgia?

maybe…

Actually I think that Kingdom Of Comfort is one of the best songs I’ve ever been a part of writing… and I want to go into this new year remembering the best of the past while living in the now.

I want to keep asking myself what am I building… a comfortable life? Or am I still living with big questions about what I’m here for and how does my living affect others?

Am I deaf to the cries of the oppressed, the poor and the powerless?

I hope that this new year is full of clarity, joy, peace, hope, success and fulfillment for us all!

peace

Unloveable

My pre christmas treat today is a song by Babybird from the album Ex-Maniac

Actually my favorite song on that record is Black Flowers but I decided to do Unloveable. Stephen Jones has a way of fusing beautiful melodies with painful, heart wrenching lyrics.

As a husband I connect with this song. I’m probably not on my own there.

The ones we love the most, we can hurt the most.

In the first minute and a half of the video, I’m building up a loop to play and sing to. For those interested I use a Jamman for those that aren’t, I won’t be offended if you skip the beginning :) I just wanted to do the whole thing live again.

Hope you enjoy it…only 4 days to go!!

Here’s an acoustic version of Meet With Me originally recorded on the One Sonic Society ep One.

It was the first song I wrote with Mia Fieldes.

The ambient guitar loop is the one I recorded on the OSS session using my Jam Man and I use it when we play live.

hope you enjoy it
