"Come Out" live in Charlotte



My friend Bill from Faith at Work videoed this from a concert following the EMC event in Charlotte. The song is "Come Out" from the new EP "Fill the Fields." I wrote this song about reconciliation and was specifically inspired by Amahoro, an African greeting in which people embrace and move from side to side as if to kiss each other on the cheek. They do it to let the peace between them flow. One of Brian's friends said, while he was in Rwanda, "When you've seen what we've seen and been through what we've been through, it just takes as long as it takes." So the ballad moves slowly too, to let the peace flow, for as long as it takes.

I'm only traveling with my MacBook and Motu interface. I play whatever keyboard is available with a midi port along the way, and so far no problems.
