You Ask Me Why
This song was based on a variation of a Carol King riff. It speaks of the joy and optimism that can be a part of the Christian mind set if we choose it. In a world which is coming unglued at the seams, the Christian has the perspective that God is in control, and no matter how bad things may seem in the natural, Jesus is Lord. I wanted to include the idea that while people are screaming for answers, the answer is right there if they are open to receive it.
Production note: The "plucky" sound that appears in delay at the end of the song was achieved by putting a brick on the sustain pedal of the piano to hold it open, while strings were plucked with a guitar pick. The harmonies of the effect had to be stacked one at a time like background vocals. It took about a full studio day must to record this effect.
