Forever's Haunting Me (1 Year Anniversary of a Jesus Crisis video)
In January 2007, almost exactly one year ago, I recorded this video of myself performing a song I wrote in October 2006 entitled "Forever's Haunting Me."
By request, I am reposting it here on The Tao of Jesus Crisis:
When I originally posted this video on MySpace, I wrote this to go with it:
Check out this rough demo video of one of my recent songs and give me your feedback. I was fighting a cold and not at the top of my game the day I recorded it...but I want to share this little rarity, "Forever's Haunting Me," in appreciation of the 1,000 people, known and unknown, who have visited my Jesus Crisis music profile in the past several months, despite my having nothing but one poorly-recorded old song and a few photos on the page. More will be coming soon, I promise! My new CD, featuring my best work ever, will hopefully be available in 2008. Thanks for your patience and support.
Much love and respect,
Jesus Crisis
At the time I thought 1,000 people was a huge number. Funny... when you consider that in the past year that number has increased to nearly 27,000 (and counting).

Blemishes and all? Well, I've got to say I'm jealous. You are an extremely talented writer and composer. I hope you have more, if not to share, than for the joy of creating songs.

Thanks, Liz! I very much appreciate your kind words. I probably have hundreds of songs written - but only a couple on video so far. I plan to record and share more of them at some point. (-;

Thank you. The image is much smaller, but very clear, and I'm glad we won't ever lose this video, now.

Thanks, Dianne!
Now that I've figured out how to upload videos, I will be posting more as time permits. I'm also looking into how to create some live "podcasts." There is so much yet to learn....

"Who are you?" One of the most sensitive, compassionate, and talented men I've ever known. "Who am I?" One who has been blessed beyond measure by our friendship and collaboration. "Who are we?" Sojourners who have not yet arrived...maybe never will...but it's been a wondrous adventure so far! I miss working with you J.C. If only we were closer...

Thank you, my friend.
Funny... this past week I dug out some songs we wrote together for one of your plays. I thought about making a recording of "A Pain That Lingers," but I have yet to rediscover the pages with the orchestrations. Maybe I'll do a quickie video of just me at the keyboard doing it, like I did for "Forever's Haunting Me."
I, too, can say I've been blessed by our friendship and collaboration... more than words can express.

I love that song. You perform it beautifully. I hope that you will be making more videos for us to enjoy.

Thank you so much, Tara! My hope is to one day have demos of lots of my songs on this website. You never know... perhaps it's a pipe dream, but I like to believe that at some point someone who's looking for a songwriter will "discover" me and give me my big break. (-;

Just keep writing songs like Forever's Haunting Me and someone will discover your talents. I have faith in your ability so keep going....

I hope you don't mind me copying your comment here, Toylady. I've posted the video on a few different sites; but in case those profiles are ever deleted, I'm trying to transfer all my comments to this site, so I'll never lose them. Thanks again!
