This song is completely from my heart. It is about my Dad, of course, and his unwavering faith and consistency in prayer. When my Dad does pass on, I'm pretty sure this is what I'll have played at his funeral (which is weird and scary to think about right now). I'm very pleased with how this song came out, having recorded it on good ole Garageband at my friend Kevin Tucker's house. This was the first in a new series of recordings that have resulted in what I hope will be a new chapter of songwriting in my life, profitable or not. The song is truly 3 (maybe 4) chords and the truth. Love you Dad. Thanks for listening.
A quick update (9/26/09):
I called my Dad today. I told him to get on Facebook and go to the blog to listen to "Dad's Prayers." He has a 56k connection, so he said it was kind of choppy, but after about 10 minutes he was able to listen to it uninterrupted. He said he did not feel like he was worthy of the song. I shared with him some of the feedback I have been getting from those who have heard it before him, especially those who have said that it reminded them of him. I said "there's the proof." We talked about some things going on in my life and in his. And then he prayed for me, right there on the phone.
