Jason David Carr

It’s a new song day! I haven’t eaten since breakfast this morning, and it’s because I was working on this song. It’s called “Just Like Me”, and it’s basically my confession to the world that I don’t always do everything for the right reasons. Too many people look up to me because they think that everything I do for others is done out of pure sacrifice, when most often it’s done for some form of fulfillment. Not only is this song that confession, but it’s a testament to the fact that Christ does everything for the right reasons, unlike us.

It’s not quite done, but I’m posting it anyway! I can’t wait any longer! ;)

Here is Least of These, as some of you heard at the 30 Hour Famine concert. I’m planning on adding some harmonies to it yet, as well as some bass. But it sounds great already! Let me know what you think! :)

Amber took some pictures of Reese at the park today; he’s learned to go all around the playground equipment now (he has for several weeks). He’s only fallen off once. ;)

Enjoy the pictures. :)

I thought I’d post this one up; this is a song I wrote back in 2003 as a response to President Bush’s actions regarding 9/11. My friend David Alberth recorded it for me and contributed some on the guitar parts; the drums are by another friend named Kyle Baker.

We never really got to polish it, unfortunately, which is kind of a shame because it’s a pretty neat little tune. It’s a good listen, regardless. Enjoy. :)

• Just got back from rafting the rapids and hiking out of the Grand Canyon. Had the time of my life. I'll post pictures soon. #
• Everything you know is wrong
  Black is white, up is down, and short is long
  And everything you thought was just so important doesn't matter #

I hope everyone enjoyed our trip as much as I did; it was truly an incredible experience. I keep going through various forms of withdrawal; I miss the tight community we had and the lack of distractions from the outside world. Once more, thanks to everyone who went on the trip for such an amazing experience.

As I receive them, I’ll be posting everyone’s pictures (and maybe videos?) here (with their permission), to make them easy to share. Below you’ll find all of the pictures for easy viewing online, as well a zip file download for each collection.

Photos are after the jump. Feel free to comment on this post, too, if you’re craving some discussion from the trip. :)

This should be the final version of No Other Hope. I beefed up the guitars a bit, and my friend Larry Williams added some wicked bass to it. I’m super excited because Larry’s an excellent bassist and he’s on track to record bass for some upcoming songs as well. It only gets better from here. :)

There are also two noticeable changes to the song (in addition to bass and beefed-up guitars). Can anyone spot them?
