Song Story: A back page on my website (see “About DianaDee”) describes the 25-item list of music-related prayers that I made while waiting for a band at the ALIVE '06 music festival in Ohio, USA, 6 years ago.
This list, as I explain in more detail there, is my absolute evidence that all of these about-250-songs are giftings from God's Creative Holy Spirit, and not some sort of special human skill I have....
Writing this list, I was running out of ideas (having already mentioned my klutziness learning guitar pedal boards and the bass slides I'm now great at, and etc) but the band still was not ready. So I added Number 20: “May as well be honest about dreams: To serve You by writing songs that reach listeners and draw then to You (not me). Jazz style would be nice – we need that.” I tried to write songs for several years, with dismal results. In fact, you can't call a quarter-dozen song pieces real “results.”
My point? YOU can do this if you humbly ask God,
seeking to serve Him. NOT said to brag, but to share THE EXCITEMENT OF GOD! This song is not my style, not my skill. I like jazz but don't have a natural talent for it, and wasn't surprised when God's jazz-bass-and-drums-gifted studio producer Claxton Wilson at Valley Worship & Praise Productions wasn't discouraging --- but wasn't enthusiastic about the draft of this song that I “just created” in my home studio on March 29th!
But with prayers and Claxton's concept suggestions in mind, I really “changed up” the music and created the music sheet on March 31st, and recorded the song at Studio 2 on April 2nd, with polishing completion on April 6th. Nine days. It's God. ☺
