Not By A Long Shot (Acoustic) Demo

I've uploaded a brand new acoustic demo of "Not By A Long Shot". This song is particularly close to my heart, because we all find it difficult and sometimes impossible to live up to an ideal.

There is a great deal of pressure in society today. The pressure to be fit and skinny. The pressure to live up to our friend's standards, whatever they may be. The pressure to please people. The pressure to pay the bills and make rent. When all of these pressures close in on us, it can be very difficult to be happy with ourselves and who God created us to be.

I hope you will listen to the song and be encouraged that although we tend to overestimate what can be done in a year, we underestimate what can be accomplished in 10 years. As long as you continue to trust in God, He will encourage you and lead you on your journey.

This version of "Not By A Long Shot" is reflective of my live sound. In other words, if you were to attend one of my shows today, this is very close to what you would hear. This came out of necessity; previously, I didn't have any music that was a close approximation of my live show. I'm glad that I'm finally able to present something that is.

P.S. If you get a chance, please have a look at my new videos (click here). I have been working with a fantastic videographer, Matt Keay, who has been helping me to get the word out about my music. I'm not sure that the camera loves me, but if nothing else, you will get to see Matt's talents at work.
