Joyful Melody is a song of rejoicing for God's profound forgiveness. There are 2 main verses that are referenced in the lyrics. The first comes from Micah 7:19, where it says "You will cast all our sins to the depths of the sea" and the second reference is from Psalm 103:12, which says "as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us." ..If you reflect on the fact that Jesus cancels our sin-debt so completely, you can't help but offer Him thanksgiving and song! Or as Psalm 95:1 says, "Oh come, let us sing to the LORD; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!"

Had fun re-imagining this dope track from Sajan and Evan!

Carolann reached out to me about doing a remix for her worship song called "All I Want" and I thought it'd be really fun to give it a soul/funk/pop sort of feel. The original is very calm and mellow, so I wanted to see how it would sound with a whole new mood. I love making bass lines, so a big feature of this remix is just the way the bass carries things along. It was really fun to work on, hope y'all enjoy it!

CLARIFIED by Chris Howland

heard a new montell track and got inspired..

Just some luxuriant, purple-tuxedo energy for your listening enjoyment. Uh ha ha. Fresh cut type energy.

Me and my wife made a sappy song about Autumn :)

I've really never liked Autumn, partly because it signals the end of Summer (my FAVORITE season) and the dreary descent into winter (my least favorite season) ...but my wife Dani adores Autumn. She get's so excited about it. As soon as September hits, she starts busting out the Fall decor. Her enjoyment of the season is what gives it some redeeming quality for me. I no longer dread the Fall like I once did, because I know that it makes Dani happy. And I like when my wife is happy.

LYRICS:

[Intro]

You make every season sweet somehow

[Verse 1]

The Summer is over

and it's getting colder out

So cuddle up closer

I'll lend you my coat when we go out

I never liked Autumn much,

but it's been growing on me now

'Cause when it's the two of us

Every season's sweet somehow

[Chorus]

Hmm-mmm,

You make every season sweet somehow

(Sweet Somehow, sweet somehow)

You make every season sweet somehow

[Verse 2]

The Summer is over (ah ah)

and it's getting colder out (ah ah)

So cuddle up closer (ah ah)

I'll lend you my coat when we go out (ah ah)

I never liked Autumn much, (ah ah)

but it's been growing on me now (ah ah)

'Cause when it's the two of us (ah ah)

Every season's sweet somehow

[Chorus]

Sweet somehow

Sweet somehow (ah ah)

Sweet Somehow (ah ah)

Sweet somehow

[Outro]

Sweet somehow (hmm-mm)

Sweet somehow

You make every season sweet somehow

When I first heard Jonathan's song I immediately wanted to remix it! I made a bootleg first draft and sent him a clip to see what he would think. Thankfully he liked it and agreed to send me the vocal files for me to make an official remix with. I'm super happy with how it came out and grateful for the chance to work with Jonathan. I love the dude's voice, his style, and the heart for God in his lyrics.

[Intro]

It's gonna be alright

Everything will be alright.

[Verse 1]

You're my faithful friend

When I feel like I'm on my own

(On my own)

You remind my heart

It's darkest right before the dawn

(It's darkest right before the dawn)

[Chorus]

'Cause even in the dead of night

When darkness is on every side

You're telling me to lift my eyes

It's gonna be alright, alright

Suddenly a light will shine

As we're waiting for the morning light

As steady as a new sunrise

It's gonna be alright, alright

[Post-Chorus]

Arise (Arise, arise)

And shine (And shine, and shine)

Arise (Arise, arise)

And shine (And shine, and shine)

[Verse 2]

Yeah, it's hard sometimes

But I know how the story ends

(I know how the story ends, yeah yeah)

Although this night is long

On Your faithfulness I can depend

(On your faithfulness I can depend)

[Chorus]

'Cause even in the dead of night

When darkness is on every side

You're telling me to lift my eyes

It's gonna be alright, alright

Suddenly a light will shine (yeah yeah)

As we're waiting for the morning light (morning light)

As steady as a new sunrise (yeah yeah)

It's gonna be alright, alright

Even in the dead of night (even in the dead of night)

When darkness is on every side (every side)

You're telling me to lift my eyes (my eyes)

It's gonna be alright, alright (alright)

Suddenly a light will shine (yeah yeah)

As we're waiting for the morning light (yeah yeah)

As steady as a new sunrise (yeah yeah)

It's gonna be alright, alright (alright)

[Outro]

yeah yeah

yeah yeah

yeah yeah

everything will be alright
