AHMTS Song by Song 4 - Romans 7

listen here

This is one of the ‘oldies’ (being all of a venerable 3 years old!). Chapter 7 of the book of Romans contains this passage which is one of the most aggravatingly tortuous pieces of discussion I’ve ever come across - and yet it remains one of the few bits of Paul’s writings that I find I can readily identify with, wrestling with the mismatch between our good intentions and our less good inclinations.

After being played live for a while as an acoustic guitar tune for a long time, it was great to be able to give this one the ‘full band’ treatment. Despite not being a drummer myself, I quite enjoy programming the beats and fills. For the drum fills I transcribe an imaginary Carter Beauford doing something improbable.

New stuff!

Hey people, new online happenings:

• DLDown has a new Facebook fan page with a proper music player and video capabilities. I'll be using the new one more over the next wee while, and phasing out the old DLDown group. The new page is here - come and be a fan :o)
• New versions of 4 tracks are up now on Myspace and the afore-mentioned new Facebook page. They are Romans 7, Missing, Icarus and new song Lilies & Sparrows. Lyrics can be found, as always, on our lyrics page.

Let me know what you think!
