"I like this! But, of course, some suggestions:

Russ Hutto replied to Jason Buechner's discussion 'Worship songs or performance songs?' in the group Songwriter's Circle"Start in Psalms.
Pick a passage, let's say about 4 verses.
Get out a notepad. Think of as many different ways to word those verses as possible, while drawing out a BIG IDEA from the passage.
Write a chorus based on that big idea.
Flesh out…"
Russ Hutto replied to Stevo's discussion '"Sing A New Song"'"I generally think of the word "Tehillah" when I think about these passages.
Tehillah is the hebrew word for praise in several passages that refers to singing spontaneously. Singing a "new song" seems to hint at the songs that…"
Russ Hutto replied to Danny D's discussion 'Why turn a hymn into a rock-n-roll song? Rant'"Right. My point wasn't that every rearrangement is a good thing.
And I'm in total agreement that there are probably parameters we should stay within when reworking classic hymns so as not to ruin them. That being said, those parameters…"

He Is Light (Advent Song, Is. 9, Jn. 1)
Listen here: http://twt.fm/345300As we enter into the Advent/Christmas season I wanted to write a simple song about Jesus entering the world as THE GREAT LIGHT that has overcome darkness.This might not be the most singable song, the range jumps from medium to pretty high, but I think it could be adapted to a multiple singer setting. Maybe having guys lead out on the verses and then the ladies taking the chorus (especially if you play this in a…See More
Russ Hutto added a discussion to the group Songwriter's CircleYou Will Make It (Psalm 91)
Listen here: http://twt.fm/340508A little encouragement based on Psalm 91. Just a little grown up lullaby.I wanted to write a song using the beautiful truths in Psalm 91, without using the words dwell, abide, shelter, or wings.

Russ Hutto replied to Russ Hutto's discussion 'Psalm 93 (The Lord Reigns)' in the group Songwriter's Circle"I actually try to write 1 song per week. And this started off as my project song...
