Joshua's Conquest

So much to talk about, so little time to type it in. Here goes nothing:

Wade and I have been tracking a concept song I wrote (which turned into a much better collaboration work) titled "You Can Close Your Eyes". The song symbolizes the marriage of a man and woman and to us, the marriage between us and Christ. I will share the lyrics at the end of this post, PLEASE comment and tell me what you think about them. The song should be (hopefully) posted on our new MYSPACE which can be found here. Please allow us the honor of being your friend. Hopefully we can get back to mixing a few new songs and have an EP out by the end of the summer for all of you to enjoy!

Below are the lyrics: please comment, and when we post the song on our myspace, you will be the firsts to know.

You Can Close Your Eyes
James Davis//Wade Patterson

It's getting late outside
The dark has left you blind
No light for peace you cannot find
I've been noticing lately
That this world's getting crazy
Let Him come and take you inside

So you can close your eyes
And simply be His bride

You woke from a dream last night
Long before the morning light
And laying there lost in thought
Thinking that your hope is lost
You never dreamed of such a Man
With this kind of rescue plan

(CHORUS)

Sweet dreams and memories
to honor the perfect melody
He's come to make you right

The after thought.

For those that made it out to the show at Castlewoods, thank you so much for the support. For those that attended, you know already of the news I am going to formally announce, so bare with me for those that were unable to make it.

My real good friend Wade Patterson and I have spent the last several days together between working and we have been talking, writing music, and anything else inbetween. And we started a new band which we have named Joshua's Conquest. Duo guitars, duo vocals, cannot get any better than that.

Don't worry! I am still doing my solo stuff on the side, which you can check out here and you can also check out Wade's solo stuff here. I promise your ears will love it.

Joshua's Conquest I think has the potential to be something huge. We'll see where it goes :)

Til later.

Showtime!

Please forgive the lack of updates. Work is keeping me busier than I'd like.

The big show is tomorrow night at Castlewoods Country Club in Flowood, MS. If you want to drop $50 for a good cause, and get good food, and dance some mean disco, then this is the place you want to be. Come out and support local music! Doors open at 6 and I start at 7.

Pics to follow.
