Discussions on the music "Cool"

This song is one of my closet favorites because of how technical the music is.  Writing things like this spoke to all the training I've had over the years.  I felt like this piece of music would make my mentors (Alphonza Kee, Matthew Nichol) proud of me on some levels.  Mind you, I didn't write this trying to impress anyone.  I was waking up from a dream and God showed me a vision of my hands playing the main piano rif.  I got up and tried to mimic what I was hearing and seeing in my spirit. It was only after analyzing it that I thought they'd be proud to see where I'm grown to.  And yes, I know... it isn't my growth, its just what God gave me at the time.  But that's how it is with ALL of the music I have.  The blessing on this is that Alphonza Kee actually played the bassline (Hallelujah!!!) on the song.  God has put so many powerful musicians in my path.  Anyway, the song came out so smooth and laid back.  Those times when you shut out the world and just relax in the presence of God.  You're not asking for anything from him, you're just nuzzling in his bosom... warm. safe.

What if we put on mercy kindness humbleness of mind

Forgiving.  Forbearing one another 'til the end of time

And don't let the unclean thing reign in your heart but sing praises unto God.

Hymns and psalms and spiritual songs, singing with Grace in your heart

And let the peace of God rule in your heart and most of all put on his love

Set your sights on all that is right and keep your eyes on the prize above

What if we was cool like that with God's love in our hearts

Reigning in young and old until the day that we depart

(What if we was cool)

What if we was cool?  Lovin' like we 'sposed to

Thinkin' 'bout you more than I do me that Jesus kinda love

(What if we was cool)

What if we was cool?  Lovin' like we 'sposed to

Prayin' 'bout you more than I do me that Jesus kinda love

What if we let his Glory shine in our everyday

Feelin' our hearts with worship songs and thoughts of peace and praise

What if we was cool like that with God's love in heart

Reigning in young and old until the day that we depart

Before I knew you Lord you gave your life for me

By your stripes I'm healed your blood washed my sins clean

Now I love you Lord with everything I am

It would be so cool if we all loved each other the same

(What if we was cool)

What if we was cool?  Lovin' like we 'sposed to

Thinkin' 'bout you more than I do me that Jesus kinda love

(What if we was cool)

What if we was cool?  Lovin' like we 'sposed to

Prayin' 'bout you more than I do me that Jesus kinda love

(What if we was cool)

What if we was cool?  Lovin' like we 'sposed to

I write because God loves me so much that he gives me music from his heart.  All I gotta do is write it down.  I'm writing this with tears in my eyes now because that thought overwhelms me.  I'm some bent kid from nowhere.  And God bless me with the most powerful gifts.  Overwhelmed.

This is why...

Sometimes it seems like I am wasting my time.  And then I get reminded about why I'm doing this.  I just got this today:

Curtis! I've been playing your music and mentioning you on several different areas of the social media world. I have interviewed and showcased many artists in the world. You constantly stand out to me since we met. Life is confusing. I consider myself rather logical and intelligent. Perhaps that is my weakness. Your music and passion inspires me. I struggle with "HIM" or perhaps it is me. I use to have a relationship with "GOD" I forgot! I'm still not sure what it is and no need to detail it. I just wanted you to know that you have reminded me to at least re-consider, Does that make sense? Thank you Curtis!

I appreciate it more than you know when I get letters telling me that my music moves you. It keeps me going. Sometimes moves me to tears, because it seems like God is re-affirming what I'm here for. For all of you who stand with me... Thank you. With all that I am... thank you.
