Today I release the song Emotional Pain. So often songs are written but the story of what prompted the writing of the song is never told. I can remember what inspired the writing of my songs as this one particularly was written while I was worshipping in church. This was the first time I have ever written a song while sitting in church and listening to a sermon. I was so compelled to write. The pastor of the church was absent that week and the associate minister preached. Never did I know that God would bless me so vividly as he did on that Sunday.
The scriptures were read and I tell you, I started writing and couldn't stop until I finished. This was panoramic for me as I vividly saw the misery of the rejected people. I imagined the people of the town walking with sticks and pounding them on the ground in dismay. They were experiencing grief and as my song says, "how long will men oppress men?" Oppression is blatent in our society particularly experienced by people of color. As time developed this song, I called it a song for social justice. But since this is recorded during the pandemic of 2021, I am calling this one of my pandemic songs. Recorded during a time of great need and sickness in our country and around the world. Listen to my song and see if you can imagine the people in their despair as I did.
I will create another posts and share the scriptural information. Keep watching.
