The Story Behind the Song
While
at the
mall a couple of years ago, my then four year old nephew, Spencer, saw
kids
lined up to see Santa Claus. Having been taught as a toddler that
Christmas is
the holiday that Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus, he asked his
mom,
"where's the line to see Jesus"? My sister mentioned this to
my dad, who immediately became inspired and jotted words down to a song
in just
a few minutes. After putting music to the words, and doing a quick
recording at
home, he received a great response from friends. He sent the song off
to
Nashville without much response, except for a Christian song writer who
suggested adding a bridge at the end of the first chorus. My dad then
asked if
I wanted to record the song to see what we could do with it. I listened
to the
song, made a few changes to the words to make it flow better, and we
headed to
Shock City Studios. It was at the studio where Chris, owner
and
producer, rewrote the 2nd verse and part of the chorus... with goose
bumps and
emotions high, we were all hopeful and felt like we had something
special. The
demo was recorded in just under 2 hours and sent off again to
Nashville...
still no response. Then 2 weeks before Christmas last year,
my cousins
Greg and Robbie decided to do a video to see what we could accomplish
on
YouTube. The first day we had 3000 hits and it soared from there. We
received
e-mails, phone calls, Facebook messages from people all over asking for
the
music, CD's, iTunes, anything... we had nothing. After a couple of
meetings
with Chris following the amazing response, we got serious. We headed
back into
the studio this past spring... this time with guitars, drums, bass,
pianos,
choirs... the real deal.... and here we are today. Getting
iTunes set
up, a website put together, and loving that thousands upon thousands of
Christians have come together... remembering the true meaning of
Christmas. Out
of the mouths of babes come profound truths that many adults can not
understand. Hopefully Spencer's observation will cause people all over
to reflect
on the love of Jesus, and that one day we will all stand in line to see
Him. We
are most thankful to our Heavenly Father to have this chance to share
our music
with you.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
