Mystery Artist

Written by Elliott Park on February 16, 2010 — 5 Comments

Here’s a rough from about three years ago.  Whoever can identify this guy first will win a free cd. (When I’m finished with it)

Hint:  He’s won numerous dove awards and the title of his first album was an emotion.

To the mystery artist in case you look at this… I hope you don’t get mad at me. Email me if you don’t want to be this week’s mystery artist.

Your Smile

Written by Elliott Park on February 11, 2010 — 3 Comments

Thanks God.  Thanks for smiling on me.  Thanks for taking a little song I wrote six years ago in a rent house in Clyde, Texas, all the way to national television.  Will I ever understand your perfect ways? You never rush. You wait patiently – through my tears and frustration and impatient outbursts, sitting through the prosecutor’s evidence that you haven’t fulfilled your end of the deal.  All the while with a pleasant smile, hands folded on your knee.

Then, when the time is just right – when a nation is buried in cold snow and winter gloom, you take a song, blow the dust off, and cast it out like seed in the Spring.

So thank you God. Help us all to see the Sun tracing the line of your smile each day – from horizon to horizon.

The Moon’s On Fire

Written by Elliott Park on February 8, 2010 — 1 Comment

Having a rough Monday? Well maybe this will brighten your day.  Here’s your chance to peek into a songwriter’s journal. Every Monday I’ll post a “rough” from my catalog of rough ideas. Most of these are grainy, hissy, horrible tape recordings from my trusty little cassette recorder. You have no idea how hard this is for me. I’m a perfectionist with my music, but even I admit there is a certain raw charm and honesty in these roughs.  Well, sometimes it’s charming.  Sometimes it’s downright embarrassing.  Feel free to poke fun, tease, or comment to your hearts desire.  I can take it.

This first one is a little song that I made up for my kids. I have no idea why “it would be alright with me” that the moon’s on fire.  But hey, it’s a kid’s song.
