Last night my little car pulled into our driveway after a long day on the road. I was tired but still feel a very strong satisfaction in having been able to see a recording wrapped up. After 6 days of being in the 'deep south' Crystal has 6 of her songs saved on her computer. Waiting for the project to be mastered is going to be hard! I want others to be able to hear what I heard.
Here is what it was like for the girls: Long hours of singing. Over and over again. Listening to different options and then singing some more. Andy Osenga's excellent ear and technical skills helping shape the songs. Lots and lots of laughing and conversations, but always getting back to work. Heading out twice a day to find a new place to eat. Meat and three is a great way to eat! Nebraska needs to try this! A hotel only 5 minutes from the studio so I could write. (I finished my story!) A tornado landed right downtown. I thought the midwest had the franchise on that. When you repeat the lyrics of a song, you notice the brilliance of those words. I got to do that every day. Crystal wrote songs from observing her life, and from describing how God is seen in every step of the journeys that make up her life. Getting to see sisters blend their voices. Watching Melissa work so hard to make the music better. She skillfully submitted her powerful voice to be smooth and harmonious.
My heart is full of gratitude.
This is beautiful. I can only imagine how blessed you feel as a mom to have such amazing girls. I love them and I love you. So. Much.
