Thank you for doing all these. I enjoy hearing the background stories. I have been a fan for many years. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do.
Hi Rog… you feel like a friend at this point I know yer first and last name.. prolly couldn’t pick you out of a line up though.. hard to imagine
Strollin’ on the water … this song creates one picture and feeling after another…Truly every line is inspiring. I get why it got so much airplay. I didn’t realize it’s from this album until now. Looking forward to part two..
Wow.. yea it kinda got lost.. my record company had moved on by then.. not a lot of follow up on the song either.. and it still went high
Sensitive man with a heathen streak.
Sounds like a believer in a flesh suit.
The war is real.
yea… I’m not sure why peeps around me are so astonished that I would have defects! LOL
A very unique and creative album. The lyrics and music are like modern poetry. The vocals are also unlike any of your other songs. It is as if you have received inspiration for a truly different, true color work.
the only down side.. is that live, my bands never liked these song, they needed to sound mechanical to make them sound right.. no musician likes that
Hey Bryan,Loved this record.Still in my rotation..27 years later…
WOW that’s a feather in my cap Perry Good to know
Enjoyable and penetrates the Heart… into God’s realm!
thanks I got sidetracked in the front of this.. about songwriting.. but it made me rethink my process..
Mucho gracias for sharing yer insights, my Lunatic Friend! Such an interesting life and yer such a great storyteller.
Yes I am, yes I do, and yes sir, yes I will listen to “Strollin on the Waters” more than once!
I never knew that you were such a versatile and multi dimensional musician. This blind squirrel just unwrapped another one of your rap nuts “Yes I Will”. And I thought “Don’t You Wanna Rap With Me” was a one off! Yer Bryan D, a rapping ‘ machine, tearin’ it up; loud if it’s clean!
And where do we go from here?
Which is the way that’s clear?
Hey, did you rock ‘n’ roll?
Rap on!
The heart is the same, it’s just a different face. We all got, a lunatic place ….
Wisdom and gratitude Samiam
I always perceived this album to be a departure of sorts from what I’d heard in years prior for you and was curious as to the “why” – and now it all makes sense. These introspective are so fascinating and enjoyable to listen to. Thank you for keeping with it through all the history and I’m looking forward to hearing about the rest of this record and the ones after!
Hi Todd thanks for the endorsement. I was only planning to talk about the early 70’s and the Jesus movement.. you’d think I’d run out of records eventually.. I’m gettin close.. there is a sharp decline coming and a wandering after the turn of the century not sure what to say about that..
I’m catching up on reading your posts and will try to comment, not just read, mostly as a encouragement to you that your reflections mean something, and you aren’t just talking into the ether.
I remember this album well. Though Walking on the Water was good, I liked Yes I Will better for two reasons:
1) my kids were young and they would always start dancing when I played the album and this song would come on – they’d memorized all the words. I don’t think they understood, until they were older, that it was an lyrical representation of the struggle between our better higher nature and our ‘unbetter’ lower nature – they just liked to image my/their single mom saying “No you won’t” and then yelling “Yes I will!”. I loved that.
2) I work with a singer/songwriter who is pretty darn popular, on tour now, and she’d say of Yes I Will: “That’s a bop!” So ya, that’s a bop of a song.
Keep sharing. It’s doing you good and it’s doing others some good too.
Have I met you before? thanks for your comments! … you could go be “Lady A” too!
