At the time I was producing for Road Records in Southern California and writing for and with many recording artists.<\/p>\n<p>This simple lyric video is a big deal for me personally because it&#8217;s the first content I have released since November 2019. In November 2019 my latest full-length musical finished it&#8217;s run and I was totally exhausted, and then COVID hit around the corner from that. Many people think the 2020 Covid time was a great time for writers because they had so much free time to create. For me that wasn&#8217;t the case at all. The daily political chaos of 2020 was debilitating to me and absolutely destroyed all my forward motion and will to create.<\/p>\n<p>Now that the U.S. is (hopefully) emerging out of that chaos, I&#8217;ve preparing my new projects and also going through previous material that has never actually been released online. (So far I&#8217;ve found over 60 pieces never released online). As I was listening to older material I had written, &#8220;Thru Your Love&#8221; really touched me for these current times. It has a sentiment that I really resonate with right now. A sentiment of peace, resolve and quiet strength.<\/p>\n<p>I realize that different people will take away different meanings from the words of this song; that was purposeful when I co-wrote this piece. The lyrics are ambiguous like the song &#8220;You Light Up My Life&#8221; so that listeners can insert their personal meaning into the words. The lyrics can relate to a relationship, personal faith, or both.<\/p>\n<p>As a side note, the co-writer I worked with on this song was Dave Schaack. I look back on this as one of my favorite collaborations. Dave was very generous in giving me the space to develop the song for two different artists. Thank you Dave!<\/p>\n<p>In closing, this song for me is the beginning of emerging from a devastating year of 2020, and now preparing and looking forward to all the new projects to develop. There is a lot of work left to do in this world!<\/p>\n<p><strong>LYRICS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The echoes of my restless heart<br \/>\nAre not easy to recall<br \/>\nSince you came and picked me up<br \/>\nAnd made me to stand tall<\/p>\n<p>Thru the love you gave to me<br \/>\nA whole new life for all to see<br \/>\nThru your love, I\u2019m stronger now<br \/>\nStrong enough to stand my ground<br \/>\nWith the strength I have found<br \/>\nThru your love<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been captured by a dream from heaven above<br \/>\nYou\u2019ve given me more than I ever thought of<\/p>\n<p>Thru your love you gave to me<br \/>\nA whole new life for all to see<br \/>\nThru your love you gave to me<br \/>\nA whole new life for all to see<\/p>\n<p>Thru your love, I\u2019m stronger now<br \/>\nStrong enough to stand my ground<br \/>\nWith the strength I have found<br \/>\nThru your love<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Thru Your Love&#8221; Words and Music by Dave Schaack and Conrad Askland (ASCAP). \u00a9 1997.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p3C0LX-1W6","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/conradaskland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7446"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/conradaskland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/conradaskland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conradaskland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conradaskland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7446"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/conradaskland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7446\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7447,"href":"https:\/\/conradaskland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7446\/revisions\/7447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/conradaskland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conradaskland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/conradaskland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
