The album "Stars Like Needles" is full of some of
the most wonderful music which is getting folks rather excited!
I set out to write the kind of music which I would enjoy
myself. I've tried to create an album
which is open, honest, unpretentious and truthful. I enjoy using big sounds, joyful rising
crescendos and passionate harmonies to celebrate and pronounce God's love.
Here is a list of tracks and an idea of what you can expect
from the songs on the Stars Like Needles album:
1: Ricochets. A
soulful but joyous song about yearning to be able to give oneself over fully to
the Lord, while battling personal weakness.
If only our Messiah would make us weak enough to allow Him to reign!
2: Living Water. A worship song which acknowledges the Lord's
promises to us, that He can be fully trusted and relied upon, even when coming
to Him may seem frightening.
3: Love Wins
Victorious! Even in the darkest of times, we have the sure and certain hope
that Love Wins Victorious, after everything, when it's all over, Love
wins! Get ready to shout out and dance,
AT THE END OF IT ALL, AND AFTER ALL WE KNOW LOVE WINS VICTORIOUS!
4: Dancing With Jesus.
This song compares our walk with the Lord to a dance, and is presented
from two perspectives represented by two harmonising melodies. A sweet, tender and gentle worship song with
beautiful trickling notes intertwining in a dance of harmonies.
5: How Do You Stand?
What kind of a person are you?
When things get tough, how do you stand at the doorway of your
heart? With your arms wide open, or do
you stand there like a guard?
6: The
Beatitudes. Beautiful, passionate and
intense. This unusual piece presents the
beatitudes almost word for word, as a cry out which echoes across the
millennia. Jesus' word are powerful and high-impact, and this song recognises
that!
7: Wake Me Up in the
Morning. Shake me up in the middle of
the night, I want to praise my Saviour all my life! A celebration song about how we can always
count on our lovely Lord Jesus to be there for us in the dark times, even when
we've mucked up badly! Fruity synth keys and a foot-tapping beat make this an
irresistible sing-along!
8: Stars Like
Needles. The track the album is named
after is a simple happy love song which uses unusual night-time imagery as the
setting. It was formed as a song late on
a crisp night, as the stars, like needles, were pointing through the glass,
during a time of beautiful closeness with God's Holy Spirit. And I'll let you into a little secret, the
love described is for my dear wife Ellie.
Thank you Lord! So it's quite a
traditional love song, but full of God!
9: Glorious! One of
the most widely loved and effective songs on the album, this is a rollicking,
foot tapping jump-out-your-seat and celebrate song, simply shouting out the joy
of the Lord. Amazing, when I'm with Him,
I've never been more alive!
10: An instrumental solo piano piece to finish of in
meditation. The piece asks a question,
'What do you love?'
gonna buy this album now.
