If you happen to stop by this page, please drop me a note and let me know what you think. I'm always open to new ideas and opinions.
I know that no one ever comes here to this abandoned blog, but I just decided to post a few thoughts here today.
"Cry On My Shoulder" is a song I wrote while deployed to the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea in 1999. I was really moved by my intense loneliness and I reached for music almost instinctively as a form of comfort. There is a song by the Beach Boys called "Don't Worry, Baby" that was written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love that has touched me deeply for years - this song, while being a poetic exchange between two lovers before a drag race, actually spoke to a much deeper need for me - the need for comfort and security that only God could offer. I wanted to capture that loving comfort that "Don't Worry, Baby" had offered me for so long and offer it to my friends and listeners in this generation.
"Cry On My Shoulder" will probably never be heard by more than a few hundred people, but those few will hear the love that I poured into the song - love that comes from the heart of God. Hopefully, that love that I first felt from a scratchy old Beach Boys record will touch others, and bring them comfort in a time of brokenness.
Hooray! A comment already!:)
