I wrote lyrics, sang, played  acoustic guitar and some keys. Chris did the rest. My granddaughter Jocelynne Hunter did spoken parts.
The song was a reaction to the nightly terrorism/war reports in contrast to the sense of hope I felt with the response in France. This is a Pink Floyd/Genesis type epic piece best heard with headphones. We hope you enjoy!

Musical Inspiration and Joy. . A personal Experience

By David c Deal

In about 2005 the band I had been in, called “One of These Daze”, ended in that painful way such bands often do. I suddenly found myself without musical direction and found myself brainstorming for direction with two musician friends, Tim and Andy. Suddenly inspiration hit, “I’ll make a cd which reflects all of the spiritual experiences I have had in my life. No religion, just pure experiences.”
At that moment a four year journey began which consumed my non working hours. Often I have taken part in long discussions about where artistic and in particular musical inspiration germinates. I mostly rely on the explanation provided by Victor Wooten in his marvelous book, “The Music Lesson”. He labels the source of creative musical energy as “Music” with a capital M, treating Music as an active, conscious spirit behind all true musical expression. As I look back at that era between 2005 and 2009 I can now perceive how I was indeed the fortunate recipient of “Music’s” energy, direction, motivation and blessed possession.
 During those years, one by one, I was provided with the musical seeds of what became the various songs on the CD Transformations. My constant effort in writing these songs, practicing them, learning how to record at a new home studio was not experienced as effort but as intense, concentrated joy. When working on a song I would think, “Tom’s guitar style would be great on this, or Cynthia’s voice would sound great on this” and one by one musicians of the finest quality would record their inspirations at my asking. Never did a single musician refuse a request to add to any of the songs on the CD and not once did any of their contributions not fit beautifully. Fourteen different musicians participated. A young artist/musician friend volunteered to design the CD cover which I swear is truly a work of art. A local musician/studio owner recorded three of the songs at no charge and mentored my efforts to learn how to record in my newly created home studio.  Now that I look back I am aware how “Music” was actively shaping not just me but all of these other musicians and artists.
I followed publication of the CD by earnestly learning about record labels, publicity, internet publication, ASCH, copyright laws, “song shoppers” and discovered that marketing a CD is not nearly as enjoyable as creating such a project.
I am now aware that “Music” has withdrawn a large percentage of the inspiration which flowed through my being during those years. She still periodically uses my limited talents in writing, performing, collaborative creation and/or in the production of individual songs and when she does I feel my musically driven soul again burst into focused light. I am blessed and extremely grateful for her inspiration both in the past and the present. In conclusion, I want to express my gratitude at being a “conduit” along with so many old and new friends; for being a shared recipient of Music’s inspirational energy.]]> Mon, 26 Jan 2015 23:06:59 -0500 https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/6336/siberian-solstice-full-concert-video-trans-siberian-orchestra-music https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/6336 Siberian Solstice ]]> Tue, 16 Dec 2014 16:17:54 -0500 https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/5935/song-when-no-one-listens-been-there-done-that https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/5935 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 21:27:04 -0400 https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/5876/mea-culpa-with-nigel-potter https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/5876 Sat, 31 May 2014 19:38:20 -0400 https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/5609/open-miy-eyes https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/5609 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 09:17:08 -0500 https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/5554/just-breathe https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/5554 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 02:06:57 -0500 https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/5401/the-dream-video https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/5401 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 00:28:39 -0500 https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/5395/the-dream https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/5395 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 10:08:53 -0500 https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/5382/this-is-a-thank-you-for-middle-of-the-road-john-kennedy https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/5382 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 11:59:53 -0500 https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/5310/who-stole-your-song https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/5310 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 20:23:44 -0400 https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/5282/how-do-i-contact-people-on-this-site https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/5282 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 10:56:15 -0400 https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/4022/fun-jazzy-collab-im-the-only-one https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/4022 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 16:43:45 -0400 https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/3973/symphonic-rock-collaberation-with-pebailey-dcoonrod-and-dcdeal https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/3973 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 09:23:16 -0500 https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/3960/sorry-had-to-re-upload https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/3960 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 15:12:46 -0500 https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/3911/thanks-mix-friends https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/3911 Sun, 27 May 2012 15:29:15 -0400 https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/3881/jime-feat-earthsongs-dcoonrod https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/3881 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 17:20:56 -0400 https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/3879/mea-culpa-with-nigel-potter https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/3879 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 09:25:42 -0400 https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/3809/this-unknown-soldier-video https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/3809 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:30:18 -0500 https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/3771/we-would-love-feedback-on-a-possible-new-project https://mixposure.com/david-c-deal/blog/3771 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 08:44:49 -0500
