Song of the Week
September 29, 2008

"Lying Next to Me"
- click for lyrics
- click for video / HD version

The original inspiration for this song came from this red shoes photo. Thank you, Christy Veer, for letting me post it for everyone to enjoy! (check out her website)

About a year ago, my wife and I were sitting in Bluestem Bistro (let's hear a shout-out if you love Manhattan, KS!) enjoying the artwork on the wall when this photo captured our attention. Over multiple cups of coffee we talked about how this photo speaks of the journey of discovering who we really are and choosing to live out of that place, verses living out of who others say we should be. (She loved this photo so much I bought it for her as an anniversary gift.) We dreamed of a day when we wouldn't conform to other peoples’ expectations, out of a fear of pain, but boldly be ourselves.

This conversation has rung in my ears since then and I was reflecting on how I so easily revert back to old ways of living… And how I’m so grateful to have her by my side through all of it.

I'm so proud of you guys! I think the show in El Dorado was awesome...there is so much potential for greatness and success with you both! After reading the above post, I remember when Lindsey shared with me at one point how captivated she was by the picture of the red shoes in the bistro's conference room...Patrick, I'm so glad you bought that picture for her:)

Wow. I'm so impressed and can't wait to hear more. Keep pumpin' 'em out, fellas! I'm already a huge fan. Also, I really loved how you kinda "played" the computers like instruments. It was so interesting to watch.

Whoa. I was expecting a demo-quality musical experiment, and this is clearly much better than that. This is beautiful guys! I'm excited to hear more.

The site is great too. I might suggest using a different icon for Flickr on your "follow" page though, I recognized all but that one.

And finally, I started thinking of Bluestem the instant I saw that photo.
