So I thought i’d give you guys a Brief explanation for the songs on the anthems for a broken world album…All these songs are inspired by the one who created me, and inspired by moments, people, and stories of myself and others…

TIME – A song about wanting to change the past. A song of desperate measures to erase the flaws of one’s history. On that same journey we find that those things we try to forget helped shape who we are today. We are no longer the people we once were, and who we are now is temporary, for we are on our way to becoming the men and women we were destined to be. On our way to destiny there are things we left behind, not lost! But left behind to be with you.

U Turn- This song follows Jesus into the desert as he was tempted. It parallels to our own deserts, our own temptations, our own enigmas where we search for a way out. When we finally believe it is meant to be here, our lives are transformed, our compass is redirected and our lives make a U turn.

So alive- We all have something, someone, or a moment that makes us feel So alive. With that said there is nothing we would not do, a place we would not go…to constantly feel so alive. The coolest line in the song, “I would walk on fire, I would march in the front line, if  I made my bed in hell, you are there”.

Silas-A song that stirs up a revolution, a movement of the soul that becomes flesh. Late in the midnight hour something remarkable happened. Inspired by the book of Acts chapter 17: 22-35.

Dynamite- Amazing things happen when you let go… and you put it all on the line for the creator of this Universe.

Home- A father goes on a journey in search of a better place. “Through desert roads and mountain tops”…He looks into his family’s eyes and hopes to make a better life for them.

Butterfly- A young girl in a cold waiting room battles with the thought of life within her. She knows it’s a gift but contemplates ending the tiny heart beat deep inside to avoid the shame… Years later she wonders what that baby or dream looked like, it’s smile, it’s eyes.”How could I have been a fool…”maybe she’ll change the world, maybe just saving yours”.

Beautiful Stranger- A love ballad inspired by serendipity

Tonight- Inspired by children all over the world hoping in a dream that seems impossible. Fathers doing the impossible for a better quality of life, everyday people with the chance to make a difference.

Sail Away- Every so often we hear stories of moments that passed people by, great people we let go, opportunities overlooked, Not saying what we really want to say when there was a chance, then its gone…A  metaphorical love song everyone will relate to…”the sailboat we waited for never came…now you’re gone”

Only you- This is the first song I wrote for the saturn project close to 9 yrs ago. The song is about the desire to know and feel God beyond our own existence and human comprehension.

We had a a great Anthems for a broken world meeting with some great people. Fred Garmon, Bill George, Mitch Maloney, Travis Johnson, and Tom Sterbens to figure out how we can take this great music to the world. It totally freaks me out(in a good way) at the thought of all the plans. The Saturn Project is leading a great movement through  our Anthems for a broken World album. This is beyond us, beyond the music, its about God’s heart and doing something amazing on this planet. Our music is gonna help build a village, help provide fresh water, help Cambodia with all we’ve got through People for Care and learning. I will have more details very very soon.

The rumors of tours is no longer a rumor but fact. The rumor that we’d be flying to Cambodia to see first hand what the music will help build is no longer a rumor…but fact. In July we will be heading over sea’s to Berlin and to Spain in October. Big things my friends, big things. It feels great to know we are part of a greater cause,and not just another band making a record. We are putting our words into action and making things happen. There is a rumor going around about a possible Live TSP recording and DVD filming…not sure about that rumor right now…Stay tuned for the truth…

We finally rapped things up here in Atlanta. The album is finished and it is a sad day in the studio. There are 14 tracks done and some hidden surprises, we’ll see what makes the final record. If this weren’t enough… Anthems for a broken World will be available in Spanish, yep I said it. En español para la raza!!! I look forward to that.  South America, we’re headed your way too…

I will be honest I am way too excited about what’s going on here at the TSP headquarters and the coolness going down at LPC that I will stop rambling. Have a great night. For our updated tour schedule please go HERE
