Ok So here is it is. The final song of 7in7. (single tear falls from eye:::: a la Denzel)
Quirky tune about demons enjoy!
Second to last day. I woke up this morning and after I was reading in Psalm 73 and just reflecting on some of the responses from Awaken on sunday I started writing this song. (always great to be able to write in bed)
enjoy
This fifth song for 7in7 is a story of a guy who left his dreams behind because of shear survival. Life gave him lemons and he made a stack of lemons. Its a story that is so many people. I love to dig a lyric into a deep emotion.
I know I mentioned it earlier today on twitter but this is me on the piano and I’m not a piano player by any means so forgive the sub par playing, but enjoy The Factory
Ok so this actually the second song of the day but the first song was a rap song called “Middle Class Rap Game” I’m hoping to finish that one, but I didn’t have time to fashion the correct sickness level of beat that track would require.ha.
So I wrote a song from a character perspective. Its always a good exercise to get out of your own skin. So in that case this song is a song about a summer love that just went away and time moved on.
Enjoy!
7in7 day 3: Frozen Summer by Aric Brian Harding
Hallelujah You’ve Redeemed My Soul. Everytime I was singing this I was actually hearing someone else voice fit this song better but I only had mine so here it is. I threw a little organaire in there for fun! enjoy.
DAY 2 OUT!

So of course 7in7 would start on my day off which you think would be easy to knock out a song but my day off is kinda my day on! As a father of four I love Thursdays because its a whole day with the family that starts with a donut run and ends with a hiphop dance class (I’m not in it, just watching Rylor)
So I had about 5 minutes on a run to the grocery store to get some thoughts together and after the kids went down I ran up to my little room I’ve put together for the week and went to work. This is a song about my lady. She does so much and our life is always fast paced and fun, so this song is really not about the literal pace of our lives but more about the pace of our relationship.
7in7 day 1: This is My Wonderful Life by Aric Brian Harding
See you tomorrow!
It’s 2011, and it really snuck up on me this year. It seems like the older I get the faster the clock moves. I know I’m preaching to the choir with most of you guys. I don’t think I’m going to make any formal new years resolutions this year other than I am going to engulf myself in the word of God more fully. I, toward the end of the year, had begun to fall into that trap of reading whatever scripture I needed for what I was preparing to present. Any of you guys in ministry know how easy that can be. I will honestly say that God used that mightily in my life this past year, but I am longing to just enjoy the word apart from preparation.
This year will see yet another Harding child in June, which took us a little by surprise but hey I’ve always wanted to convert my garage! It’s a blessing to have a full house. I guess I may make blogging more often a new years resolution.
we’ll see.

It’s Monday morning. I just finished cutting up a pear and a banana for the boys, turning on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and getting down a box of plastic jewelry for Evie to put on her dolls. I’m a little tired from last night. We spent about 5 hours pulling down lighting and staging starting the process of putting together the big show saturday. I’m determined to finish the stage build, media design and practice before the last minute this time. It seems like no matter what I do it’s down to the last minute getting those last things in place. I want to have one album release that I’m simply waiting for it to begin.
This time I decided that I was going create all of the images for the show as well as the staging instead of just throwing up a bunch of stock stuff. So thanks to some of you guys that have helped me get that done. I hope you all will come out and get a copy of the album and the DVD. The DVD will have the film “Cinepoeme” which is a film shot on Super 8 film (no digital stuff), plus a collection of interviews, and a dance mix of “Yes”.
The album itself has 7 songs and 2 hidden tracks (ya how 90s of me). After the night of the release the whole thing will be available at the church. Within the month it will be available on amazon and iTunes. The DVD extra will only be available by order from www.aricharding.com or at Sagemont Church for now.
See You guys at Sagemont on Saturday Night (Oct 30) at 7pm. Here’s the church address so that you can throw it in your iPhone if you get lost 11300 S. Sam Houston Parkway East, Houston, TX 77089
It’s Saturday Night and I’m starting to wind down and thinking about what all we are going to be saying and singing to God in the morning. It’s always a mix of anxiousness and joy when I lay my head down on the pillow each Saturday. Tomorrow we are beginning with a new song called “The Distance”. It’s a song talking about the reach that God made from his perfection to our imperfection. It’s a celebration of the fact that he sheltered us when we were thieves.
Here’s the lyrics:
There was a distance laid between you and me
My sin had a built a wall so I couldn’t see
You came in Your holiness
I felt the weight of Your righteousness
You reached across the distance past my defeat
You have been my hiding place
When I had been a thief
All my weakness clothed in grace
All encompassing
There was a distance locked between You and me
Jesus, You reached across upon Calvary
There’d be no happy ending
There’d be no great reward
Without King Jesus giving up everything
You have been my hiding place
When I had been a thief
All my weakness clothed in grace
All encompassing
