Here’s another song that needs some work - any ideas?

Since getting back from Thailand I still haven’t managed to get caught up on all the stuff that’s on my To Do list including adding the final 2 songs for the 20/20 project.

However, in the meantime I thought I’d ‘kill two birds with the one stone’ as they say.

I’m working through a mountain of video clips from the Pattaya Praise event in Thailand where we led worship in brothels, churches and public stages.

Below is a clip of our team’s orientation walk through the streets of Pattaya on our first full day there. I’ve avoided lingering too much on the seedier side of life there but at the same time wanted to let you have a glimpse of the nature of the city.

It is a place built on the sex industry and the street in the clip, Walking Street, is one of the more ‘palatable’ sections of that part of town.

Here’s the second thing. As a sound track I’ve added an older demo song of mine called We Say Yes and it needs a re-write.

So once again I’d love your comments and suggestions as to how it might be improved.

Drop me a comment below or an email if you’re on my list and let’s see what we can create!

    I love the song. The video is very appropriate. Rewriting the story… Yes, Lord. That is one thing that Brian McLaren is calling the songwriters to do – writing missional songs. I wholeheartedly agree.

    Hey Simonas,

    yep I’ve read his open letter to songwriters and been inspired by that challenge - Andy

    The video conveyed the nastier side of this tourist attraction without the need to be explicit. Your song, as Toadie said supplied the answer. You guys brought some light into this dark side of the city. Blessings. Arthur

    Really like this song Andy, works so well with the video. My only thoughts on changing anythings would be that after the short instrumental bridge, I felt it was slightly subdued and perhaps it could be built into more of a crescendo,. It seemed to me like it should be a battle cry.

    God bless
    Jean
