When I Was Ready To Listen
This is a straightforward evangelistic song, simply saying how empty my life was before meeting Jesus, and how fulfilling it has been since.
This song was more about the music and incorporating several movements to create a sort of mini "rock opera." Beginning with a long slowly building instrumental, it breaks after a crescendo to the first vocalized line. It builds in the minor mode until it breaks into the first almost about face change, where I sing a new melody in a major mode. It then goes out with the most profound portion of the lyric- the name of Jesus- sung several times with great reverence. Chuck |
