Sunday Setlist [6.28.09]

1) You Are So Good To Me (Pasley/Chaffer): Key G. Third Day has a pretty well known arrangement of this tune. We do it pretty close to that.

2) Revelation Song (Riddle): Key C. Yet another HOJ remix. Nothing major, just kind of changed up some rhythmic stuff. We’ve always kind of rocked this one out (way more than the recorded version) so we didn’t change the vibe of this song as much as we just freshened it up a bit. Worked out well.

Pardon my bad harmonies and lame guitar playing…just goes to show (maybe) that my strength is coordinating, writing and arranging and not necessarily performing. Haha.

3) All We Want is You (Evans): Key E. I love this song. The verses are a little wordy, but the simple chorus makes up for it. This is one that can be done at a moderate mellow tempo, or for us, a moderate rocking tempo. Driving 8ths in the bass, simple straightforward on the drums, and the chunk chunk sound on the guitars (palm mutes, top 3 strings[E-A-D strings]).

We did more of an acoustic set this week. Since we didn’t have electric guitar again this week. We just cranked up the 2 acoustics, put the drummer on rods (and cranked up the drum mic volumes a little) and rocked it out “unplugged” style. Went very well. For vocals, we had 4 total, but only featured 2 each song. It was a nice sonic variation from the regular 3-4 vocals always on sound that we usually rock.

The reality of our move is beginning to sink in (for me and for members of the team). We chatted for a few minutes before first service about the “next” person coming in. I’m trying to be as encouraging as I can. I know that God has the perfect fit to take the Music at HOJ to the next level. It’s just a little bittersweet knowing that we’ll be leaving all these WONDERFUL folks behind.
