Because We Love the Songs You Love... [Next CD Project]

Quiet, I watch jays and juncos flutter through freshly fallen snow in search of seed.

I hear in their contented chirps a song I've been learning over months of treasure hunts my own--

His way is peace... and perfect freedom.

I heard the same thing in the summer when the birds sang at dusk as well as dawn. 

(We've got a few lessons to learn.)

We do a fair bit of singing in this house. (epic understatement.)

And not because it's always sunny... 

It's because it fills our sails for the storm. 

Actually, when we're all together on one level, 2 minutes is often the most we go between snatches of some sonnet.

And that is grace to us... Because we also often feel like we're sailing high seas in half a cider barrel a piece. 

Oh, we've swallowed our share of salt water to be sure... 

But we're learning to laugh at the waves. 

And somehow, these cider barrels are proving unsinkable.

But see, that's why the song means so much to us...

So we've got a question. Next month marks a year since I Cannot Tell was tracked in our basement studio. And next month, we will be recording again... We've got a list of songs our hearts love to sing, but we want to hear the list your hearts love.

And they could be songs you've heard us sing, or favorites we've never heard before...

Just do one of three things. :)

As a little thank you, we'll put your names in a hat and when the CD is done in a few months time, we will give away a dozen copies. :)
