Songwriting With David - Here We Stand

Fast Song Ideas: Dance (Jesus Culture, Jake Hamilton, Orig. Suzy Yarei from Morningstar)

Jesus Culture (not the best recording quality):

Jake Hamilton's Version (he gets a little breathless):

 

Suzy Yarei/Morningstar:

 

Slow and chill - Sovereign by Amber Brooks and David Vallier

Ok....LOVE THIS.  Acoustic.  But could also be big with a band.

Fast Song- My Dear by Hunter Thompson (upcoming Bethel Artist)

This is FRESSSSHHH!  Not even released yet but they did it at BSW!  It's very low quality recording.  It definitely sounded a lot better in person, but we could totally get it down!

Medium Power song- Still I Rise/Hallelujah by Amber Brooks

This is actually a recording someone took of Amber and David leading when I was at BSW.  I absolutely loved this song.  The recording isn't best quality but you can get the picture.

Med/Slow song-Like You Promised by Amber Brooks

Medium-Fast Song Ideas: Fragrance of Worship (Rick Pino)

Medium-Slow Song Ideas: In Your Presence (Jason Upton)

Why I like about Jason Upton's slower songs (and Rick Pino does this, too)...is that they really build, even though they're slow. I like that style. There's just something about belting out a love song to the Lord that is like nothing else in this world.

Medium-Slow Songs: Freedom Reigns (Jason Upton or Jesus Culture)

So, it's written by Michael Larson, over 10 years ago, but Upton and Jesus Culture both cover it. Others do, too, but Jason Upton's and Jesus Culture's are my favorites. Jason is so raw, which is probably why I love his version. And we all know I adore Jesus Culture, period. Tehehehe.

Jesus Culture's version:

Slow Songs: Gorgeous Face (Rick Pino)

We need a flute player....tehehehe. :) I'm praying one in!

 

Medium Song Ideas: I Will Search (Rick Pino)

Good for a late Friday night P&P.... :)

Medium Song Ideas: I Really Love You (Rick Pino)

Fast Song Ideas: Eyes of Zion (Rick Pino)

Medium-Fast Song Ideas: Heaven's Song (Rick Pino)

Awesome guitar stuff going on....

Medium Song Ideas: Show Us Your Glory (Rick Pino)

Fast Song Ideas: Daydream (Rick Pino)

Fast Song Ideas: Make You Move (John Mark McMillan)

Youth, for sure. This is the guy who wrote How He Loves Us.

Fast Song Ideas: King of Glory (Jesus Culture)

Also Sunday-friendly. And good for any other time! :) I really like how Jesus Culture does it. I've seen some other worship leaders do it, and it was great, too, but Jesus Culture's version is my fave!

Fast Song Ideas: He Lives (Generation Unleashed)

Another fast, rock one. This would be great for youth, and I think it's simple enough for them to pick up (the melody, anyway...it's got a crazy guitar solo I'd love to learn!)

Fast Song Ideas: I Will Not Be Silent (Jonathan David Helser)

We would need a mini-choir for this - t'would be SO COOL!

Slow Song Ideas: Who Is Like You (Generation Unleashed)

This is a good slow, soaking praise song....I think Em could nail it

Medium-Fast Song Ideas: I Have Risen (Jonathan David Helser)

I want to do this song sometime soon. :) It's kinda intense though, as most Helser stuff is. Friday is a good debut place. Em, get your schedule changed, and fast! :) ;)

Medium-Fast Song Ideas: You See (Jonathan David Helser)

I love anything by Helser, so this is not hard for me to say HECK YA to- but anyway, Em is interested in doing this one soon....so that might be cool!

Medium-Fast Song Ideas: Oh Clap Your Hands All You People (IHOP)

Great clapping action for this song. :)

Medium Song Ideas: Lowest Place (IHOP)

Medium Song Ideas: He Is Yahweh (IHOP)

I soooo love this song! :)  I classified is as medium as far as speed goes. It's not something you can really clap to, but it's also not a slowish songs by any stretch of the imagination. :) The chorus builds nicely, too.  I think this is very Sunday-friendly. Thoughts?

Medium-Fast Song Ideas: Only One (IHOP)

Great chorus in particular. Brings a little gospel action, too!

Fast Song Ideas: Jump Around (Planetshakers)

As requested. Not sure about the rap parts here, but maybe we could make them into melody lines?

Fast Song Ideas: No One Else Can Love You Like I Love You Lord (IHOP)

And more IHOP greatness...

Fast Song Ideas: The Lord Has Given Us Freedom (IHOP)

In the same vein as the other IHOP-KC songs I've been posting, this is a great upbeat song. And I know we need a lot more of those. There's a shortage of good ones out there. This is a splendid one!

Fast Song Ideas: Holy Ghost Party (IHOP)

I think this song is perfect for youth, camp, retreats, and Fridays....especially after a particularly awesome night. Very celebratory!

Fast Song Ideas: Joyful, Joyful (IHOP)

I love the energy behind this - Good for anywhere, anytime, I think. :) We could get some sweet keyboard stuff going on.

Fast Song Ideas: Get Up (Planetshakers)

This sounds like it would be fun to play/sing...actually, these guys have a lot of pretty intense songs. I think we might actually be able to pull off the synth parts with our fancy new keyboard.

Medium-Fast Song Ideas: Lion of Judah (Jason Upton)

Love the message behind this one - it's pretty intense. Good Friday P&P song?

Fast Song Ideas: I Give You Glory (CFNI/Klaus)

Thoughts? It's upbeat...I like it. Youth group might be a great place to debut it. Jesse could learn the guitar parts for Friday/Sunday worship times. It's simple, too. Also, I think it's kinda fun that you can sing the chorus in Spanish, too!
