Ah! "Anna Post Writing", another one of our earlier tunes...it has now become a full studio production on our brand new album, "Overflow". In concert, it featured Greg doing some stellar lead guitar, and gave a chance for everyone, including the back-up singers to do some good work. It tells the sad story of a woman breaking up with her husband, and then losing herself in her job writing the news. BUT! luckily she is inspired to pick up the Bible and reads exactly what she needs to get her hope and direction back. She writes to her husband to extend unconditional Gospel love, and there the story ends with no discernible resolution. Perhaps there will have to be a sequel! (Btw, the name was not meant to refer to anybody in the real world, only to make a play on words!) 

This story quite closely resembles the classic conversion story of St. Augustine, which he tells in his famous autobiography, "The Confessions". While in his garden, he kept hearing a child's voice chanting "Tolle, lege! Tolle, lege!" 0r "Take up and read", upon which he opened to Romans and found the definite answer he needed to his prayer, and Jesus healed his misery and pain. Sound familiar? We, too, are chanting in a child-like voice in this song, 'Tolle, lege'! He can heal your misery and pain! 

I had done a Noteworthy Composer of this song back around 2011 and then the summer before this I added live guitars and voice to make a demo. This year, Mike, Greg, Josh & I put in work to turn this into a studio production, and? voila! here is the result. This features Greg's original riffs and a faithful reproduction of the vocals we did and the very 70's typewriter & references. Please, enjoy!
