I posted a demo version of one song called "atonement" <br />Here are the lyrics, although I usually hate any attempt I make at writing, they are extremely personal so therefore I don't really care if its bad haha. <br /><br />I climbed a dying tree<br />to heal a wound hid deep inside of me<br />I scraped my legs and arms<br />and bled onto the bark to purge my sins<br /><br />Do you just expect me to forgive?<br />Because you know that I could not understand<br />Father there's a river that I know<br />Where you don't have to reap what you have sown. <br /><br />myspace.com/thefrozenoceandavidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16274063389189324749noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8946029761435210710.post-14563594579363549802007-12-02T12:33:00.000-08:002007-12-02T13:37:36.043-08:00Breathing a sigh of relief<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE28ANAjRHiycnDaRmjZnZ6hB9uokG7nupQ5fbm4QDMcssE9EBIw32TCDRMgxBAjEGRtF8KSx5ug8G77PB8gFGm3Xq9e5I4S1NJjbnakErYJRaYuewM7xkP_KsZk8xHiG9U4KXqDLhwho/s1600-r/1645561515_618901086e.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnt5at5SPzmo355w0a7yQCnSnMRA8BnT3j_-3kF6-WHalu0YnkpkvIP7kARd3PN90xrenOagsTXu6RPiAtqAoHmm-74VssE7JArLJp4spEgU1Ea-F-aQZa_6xN6QxP8cInnvslziz4cps/s400/1645561515_618901086e.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5139492412770999090" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />I've been reflecting on the last 6 months I've been on the road with this band and all the experiences I have been blessed with. It's been one of the most stretching times personally and spiritually I've ever had in my life but at the very least I can chalk it up to growth and trust that God had a reason for all of it. Despite being completely exhausted from a 20 hour drive, I went to a show last night to see some friends I don't see often and I left feeling more energized and encouraged than the the last 2 months of sleep filled travel. Maybe it was connecting with someone on a level I had really missed or the possibility of a new musical endeavor, but I left feeling certain that God had meant for me to be there and that alone was exciting. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />currently listening to:<br /><br />CloudDEAD - s/t <br />Allison Krauss and Robert Plant - Raising Sand<br />Ryan Adams - Follow the Lightsdavidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16274063389189324749noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8946029761435210710.post-64168924659776984692007-11-22T09:45:00.000-08:002007-11-22T10:11:34.979-08:00happy thanksgiving<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BULNO7CwDDE&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BULNO7CwDDE&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />Jesus thank you for<br />-food to eat<br />-a warm place to have it <br />-my family<br />-my beautiful fianceedavidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16274063389189324749noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8946029761435210710.post-63363525266509557532007-11-06T21:17:00.000-08:002007-11-06T21:24:38.639-08:00You look down from heaven<br />And melt me with your gaze<br />Then you come down from heaven<br />And wrap me in your wings<br /><br />And it makes me feel loved again<br />So close in your arms<br />And it makes me feel home again<br />So close to your heart<br /><br />-the glorious unseen<br /><br />God's been humbling me lately, it's been really difficult being surrounded by so much self-interest it's amazing how much greed can get a hold of someones life.davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16274063389189324749noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8946029761435210710.post-19103194567434180792007-07-14T09:08:00.000-07:002007-07-14T09:12:20.822-07:00empireI was a middle son<br />between two wayward ones<br />i was more deserving of my parents love<br /><br />i had an angels smile<br />hiding a vultures bite<br />i had no use for your redeeming blood<br /><br />arent i glory, glorious<br /><br />glory, glorious<br />arent we glory, glorious<br />arent we worthy, worthy of hearts at our feet<br /><br />i was a pharisee<br />i never saw my need for grace<br />then your love came to me<br />stood next to mine and i saw that i was poor<br /><br />show me i was poor<br />show us we are<br />show us we are<br /><br />glory, glorious<br />we are glory, glorious<br />not from what good we have done<br />but from being the least<br /><br />glory, glorious<br />oh, i dont know how i was made<br /><br />my heaven tower sways atop their fleeting praise<br />God, i dont know how i was made<br /><br />glory, glorious<br />are we glory, glorious?<br />are we worthy, worthy of hearts at our feet?<br />glory, glorious<br />we are glory, glorious<br />not from what weve done<br />but being the least<br /><br />i was a wicked one<br /><br />.as cities burndavidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16274063389189324749noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8946029761435210710.post-35904043074534017742007-04-14T08:10:00.000-07:002007-04-14T08:23:22.570-07:00can you see the sky turn red?I've been in Texas for the last 3 days and that small amount of time has fanned my hate of texas from a spark into an inquenchable flame. Every time we plays shows here there always seems to be fights that involve either, a. A. a brick, B. a broken corona bottle. C. antlers of a deceased animal. In my opinion, explosions in the sky and barbecue are the only redeeming qualities in an other wise wholly evil place. <br />I had a dream this morning where I met dustin kensrue, and no joke, I went up to him and in a sheepish and nervous voice, admitted that he was one of my biggest musical influences and asked if he would be kind enough to take a cd of my band life in your way. he accepted and I soiled myself.davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16274063389189324749noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8946029761435210710.post-59485131993100516782007-03-24T11:49:00.000-07:002007-03-24T12:18:30.074-07:00you came to take us..I've really been enjoying my last few days left at home before I go on the road for the rest of my life. I had the day off yesterday and recorded a cover song for fun. Take a <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thefrozenocean">LISTEN</a> if you have a free second and be sure to friend me! So besides having to do taxes I'm scrambling around to see friends before I leave.

I've been seriously struggling with the whole idea of blind faith and how to reconcile the fact that I really can't find satisfactory answers to all of my questions about the Bible and nature of God. But however, where I feel the temptation to just give in and continue having a half hearted faith I'm trying to persist and find truth to the best of my intellectual capacity.davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16274063389189324749noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8946029761435210710.post-4839834207137715052007-03-13T11:49:00.001-07:002007-03-13T12:11:25.062-07:00your light will shine when all else fades.I took a walk today while my car was being fixed. It was unusually warm out and made me wish it was summer. I remember before I had my first summer job I would have my mom drop me off in the middle of town at 9am and pick me up at 9pm. I would walk up and down the main road all day, going into random stores I had never been in, or have lunch and see a movie. Just enjoying spending time by myself for an extended period of time is something I haven't done in probobly 5 years. It was nice to remember what it felt like to have that simple fascination in slowing down for a second and enjoying a simple thing like walking in no specific direction to no specific destination.... then I preceeded to walk back to where my car was being worked on and grossly overpaid the nice man there and went grocery shopping... So, those 45 minutes were a really nice break in my day and I hope I can do it more often. <br /><br />currently listening to:<br />hillsong united - united we stand<br />red house painters - songs for a blue guitardavidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16274063389189324749noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8946029761435210710.post-47723651268636789362007-03-12T08:11:00.000-07:002007-03-12T08:31:06.365-07:00well..I'm pretty excited about this, <br />I've never been great with being poetic or charismatic with my words, but regardless it's great to be able to share my thoughts with anyone interested in reading them. So... I'm basically a music nerd of the highest level.. I would not be able to function very well without it. I play guitar in a band called life in your way as my main source of non-income, but have recently been recording some solo stuff which I'm pretty excited about called the frozen ocean. I had the idea of writing songs based solely on dreams, both the musical landscape of the song and the lyrical themes. I really love beautiful, ambient music and this is my attempt to create something beautiful that you can get lost inside of. <br /><br /><br />currently listening to:<br /><br />the innocence mission - befriended <br />nickel creek - why should the fire die?<br />saosin - s/t<br /><br />currently reading:<br /><br />charles templeton - goodbye to God<br />noam chomsky - imperial ambitionsdavidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16274063389189324749noreply@blogger.com4
