I just released a new song called "The Chains". The song was written in a spiritually dark place. I was too busy for a lot of things, one of them being God Himself and it was obvious in my life. I had become sick of being in the same spot as I was so then I turned to my Bible. I was reading Hebrews and and chapter 12, verse 1 caught my eye. It punched me in the gut and got me pumped. It goes like this:
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.
I knew that was what I had needed to do. I had a lot of junk in my life that I needed to throw away that was keeping me from being the person God calls me to be. And out came this song. I wrote it very quickly in the room I was staying in at my friend Tate's apartment (he has an awesome band called The Lionelle, do yourself a favor and check them out). I had finally started recording the song after my cousin Tommy gave me a mixer when I visited him in Denver. It took awhile but I enjoyed learning how to record. I think it has an Oasis kind of vibe with the acoustics and electrics going at the same time and the four-on-the-floor thing going on.
I really hope you guys like it.
God bless,
Matthew
