In honor of the release of the documentary: Sun and Moon, we had some fun on Twitter releasing fun facts about the album. Here they are in total:
- #SunlightFacts http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I2U6HLQ
- The Album #Sunlight started with a successful Kickstarter campaign raising over $13,500 #SunlightFacts https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/sunlight/id571305256
- My song “Drive” had three rewrites and almost didn’t make the album until Adam Searan and Rocky Searan finished their draft of it #SunlightFacts
- The song Drive is a metaphor of Jesus’ prodigal son parable Luke 15:11-32 #SunlightFacts
- The song “Red Letter Day” was the first song written for the album #SunlightFacts
- There were no synthesizers on the album. All keys parts were all circa 1971 instruments and before #SunlightFacts
- The song “Saturday’s Gone” was rewritten on a napkin at Zipps, a local sports grill, two days before entering the recording studio #SunlightFacts
- Tacos Atoyac, http://www.urbanspoon.com/m/r/22/1600775, was the band’s preferred hangout during album production. They went there 9 times #SunlightFacts
- The song “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus” is one of two hymns that appear on the album #SunlightFacts
- The second hymn on the album is “Keep Near my Rapture’d Soul” which is a paraphrase of “Jesus, Keep me near the Cross” #SunlightFacts
- The guitar solo for Sunlight, I consider to be the best guitar solo I have ever written #SunlightFact
- The pipe organ sound in the The Artist is inspired by @Rocknard obsession: the tonality and contrast of the instrument #SunlightFacts
- Every song on the album references a Pink Floyd song in some way whether through lyrics, guitar licks or song title. #Sunlightfacts
