Songs from the Father

PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
As with our 2nd CD 'On Broken Wings.', our 3rd CD is a posthumous release, coming nearly five years after James Martin's passing. Throughout the many years of their long-distance musical partnership, James Martin and Edward Jerlin continued to write music both collaboratively and individually. With the development of high-speed internet and the ease with which they could communicate and share ideas from a distance, they had recently recommitted to recording the backlog of songs they had accumulated. During the process of choosing which songs to record, Edward suggested that many of the songs James had shared with the congregation he served over the years deserved a wider audience, though the music did not fit the 'progressive rock' paradigm of the group. Rather than try to mesh their musical styles, as has been done with their other CDs, they decided to set this project aside for Jim's songs, with Edward acting more as a facilitator than a collaborator -- though of course, his progressive musical sensibilities inevitably come across in the accompaniments. Because of the distance, they began simultaneously recording the music for three CD projects, making the most of each recording session. Jim was then unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer in September 2008, succumbing in December after a three-month battle. Thankfully, his vocals were already completed before his illness, so there is no hint of any 'melancholy' in any of his vocal performances. Everlasting Arms feels that these songs were meant to be preserved and heard, and that God has a purpose for them, otherwise the recordings wouldn't exist. And while this is a posthumous release, it is not a 'memorial' -- rather it is simply a completion of what we would have done anyway to the Glory of God, had Jim lived. Jim's 'vision' for 'Songs From The Father': A worshipful, Testament to the core values of our Christian Faith, and the personal relationship between Jesus and the Father. An album where the Holy Spirit lives in every Word, and directs every moment. A fresh look at themes that we grew up with, but can never grow away from.
