Thanks to all of the local 1208 Greenwood artists who made our sometimes-playful, sometimes-serious, multi-genred, Narnia-themed, Christmas album! It was so much fun to make. Here’s a look at the tracks:
- Tell Me a Myth | An acoustic song about finding God in the mythological parts of the Bible and Narnia.
- Green Green Christmas | A pop-rap song featuring Amity Grace and Rob Cunningham about wanting Aslan to end winter.
- Creation Song (Christmas Edition) | A folk song I wrote in Scotland that I recorded with Janae Burchett sometime back. Because it had Narnia references, we threw some Christmas noises in it and pretended it fit 😉
- I Got a Sword for Christmas | A crunk-screamo-rap song that started as a short joke, but then Amity, Joel Bradley, and Olivia Vanderwall Leitner added to it and it turned into a hilarious full track.
- Mr. Beaver’s Song | I had to record this song impossibly slow and speed it up to get the Christmas Alvin and the Chipmunks effect.
- Edmund and Lucy | A jazzy wink to Vince Guaraldi Trio.
- Descend | Wrote this song years ago and asked Andrew Grzyb if he’d make a whole musical recording to it. He did all the music and then Caleb Keepin sang it with me as a duo. To date, this is my favorite song I’ve ever written and the third verse always makes me cry. I decided to leave the tears in the recording.
- A Lamppost in Your Morning | An ambient acoustic song with deep lyrics from my friend, Pastor Dallas Flippin!
- Son of Adam | A broadway-ish ballad about the White Witch’s temptation and Aslan’s salvation, written by Amity and featuring Janae.
- Here in the Shadowlands | A Coldplayish song I did with Jaimie Curtis about the feeling that Narnia is real. It opens with a scene from the movie Shadowlands, which was about C.S. Lewis.
