Onitod – 09282014_107 [ Album: Every Knee Shall Bow ]

Every Knee Shall Bow, is a track that has a chill and cool jazz feel. The song is composed of bass, classical guitar, hollow-body guitar, featuring vox amps, and Ibanez guitars and basses. The track was not named at the time of posting, and keeps its original name, meaning that it was recorded on Sept 28, 2014.

The track is enriched with a live lead from a Roland SH-101, that heard near 2:45, of the playing time.

The album title is written from the point of the believers, that everything is calm and cool, because what God said has then come to pass. Seeing that this was as expected, there is a calm sense of peace and security, because the certainty of the Lord is being fulfilled before their eyes.

The track is designed for meditation and relaxation, upon, where it is beneficial to think about the hope that is far ahead, rather than what is going on right now. The calm believer, is aware of this, and steadies themselves for the rocky road, that leads to the day of peace.

It is this concept, that the believer does not recognize that they are exempt from danger, but that they will be protected, or guided through it. The idea of being prepared for an adverse situation is not so common in this day and age. Though in some corporate or government ways this policy might vaguely exist, this concept is relatively foreign when it is concerned with an individuals scope.

It might seem foreign to look for protection in a time of distress, which is what leads many people to panic, worry and fear, and it is those emotions which turn into actions, that cause much of the turmoil and distress in life to begin with.

Learning the possibility of options and outcomes coupled with enough self-control to seek some wisdom and guidance, is a step to a doorway of peace and a fulfillment of needs being met. The ability to restrain the actions, based on underlying motives, where one is aware enough to distinguish whether one is acting in peace, or worry, or anxiety, from a place of panic, or of sound mind, is a major difference in the outcomes of life that you can expect, since they are often fueled by this simple point of view.

A simplicity of change in the most critical moments of a stressful situation, can bring an enormous amount of peace and comfort, no matter the amount of adversity that one may face. This concept is highly regarded as the ability to change perspective, or to change one’s hope about what is actually possible and even achievable. Be well, and take care my friend.

I have put together some preview tracks. I am about to publish 16 albums, from content that was created between 1997-2014. For the next batch of music tracks, they will feature PREVIEW on the splash screen, and so that means that this track, is one song of an album-in-progress. The track may or may not be in its final mastered form. During this preview promotion, you will get to hear a good many different styles that I produced over the years, and will get a feeling for what is coming down the pipe. All the songs are copyrighted their original content year, and the albums will be formally published in 2015. Once published I will update links on the videos to the iTunes and Amazon, and other places that they music will be available. If you would like to use the music for commercial purposes, you can contact me, and we can talk about your needs and find something that works.

Onitod – Good Character [ Album: Eulogy ]

Good Character, is a combination of multiple attributes that a person can attain, if one is willing to persevere.

This track, came from a journey or perseverance, as the tracks that I was writing months before did not come together as I had wished. Then in a spurt of 3 weeks, some of the best music I had written at the time suddenly emerged.

We are called to be in a state of readiness. Ready in season, and out of season. It does not mean to be working all the time, or obsessed with one thing or another, but it does mean to be willing to take action, and be ready to apply the knowledge you have already attained.

There are generally two calls in life about application. One is that you have to learn it on the fly, in the moment of things, and the other is that you learn it one day at a time, and later on it life you apply what you have gradually learned.

The applying at the time of learning, can often be filled with stress, and lead to corruption of character, where by our willingness to stay in good means, suddenly eludes us as we spiral into a panic of stress and disorder. Therefore, it is much better to be in a place, where you do not worry yourself with not being able to use the information and knowledge that you have attained. Instead wait for the day, and behold it will come, as you press on, that you will get to use all that you have worked hard and diligently to acquire.

The one who approaches life, in a more reasonably calm manner, is one who is headed to keep in good character, when trouble, strife, crisis or disorder appear. In those times, the one who has pursued good character will be able to take wise advise and apply it, listen to it, adhere to it, and realize and know it is wise counsel.

This video is a June bug, that was on my doorstep one night, and I took a video, because the june bug knows if it keeps trying, it will eventually flip itself over. The amount of preseverance that this tiny bug has, to me, is quite amazing. I think in life, that is a good lesson to learn, that even when things look upside down, if you keep at it, things eventually turn up, and eventually if you keep trying, you can get back on your feet.
