I appreciate you mailing the CD. In the future you could save yourself some money and just upload some high quality MP3s to a file sharing sight like rapidshare. Then I could download it and burn my own CD. Probably Micah could to, but I don't want to speak for him.
As far as the arrangement goes, I liked what I heard, I actually like the lyrics revision (sorry Micah) I think it gets the same point across w/out being as direct. I was actually well aware of the situation in Uganda, and I believe anyone crazy enough to be listening to our music would still make the connection. Lets face it this shits not going straight to the radio top 20 so there isn't any reason we have to spell things out for the listener.
I really loved your lyrics for "The Lion in my Chest", If Nate tries to screw those up I'll have your back, but this time I'm with Nate.
Also I think the vocal melody of the chorus on Diamonds needs a little help, I'm not a singer so I can't tell you specifically what needs to be done, it just drags a bit to my ear.
One more thing; is there any chance we could steal "It Feels Right" for this project. I absolutely love that song, more so then anything else the three of us have managed to write. We could give credit to Patton in the liner notes or whatever, I don't care, I would be so happy to rerecord that song.

Jesse,
I totally agree with you. In fact I love what nate wrote especially the melody. I only really had that 1 line. The rest was just rough ideas. I think it would be cool if we all thought about the lyrics on that song. I am just dry. I cant think of anything else other than that 1 dang line and the subject matter. Feels Right is a great great song.
Jesse,
Once Upon A Time,
I was hoping you could help me with this song. It doesnt seem finished and I think there is some good things but some others that suck. I really want to try to capture an honest emotion in the song. I just suck at writing it. Do you have any ideas to for a verse or chorus ?
Also, I was thinking of trading my crappy fender for Les Paul SG Standard. I love fender guitars and I know your love for fender guitars. I just think that Les Pauls work better for me. Do you think they would gel well when we record together ?
Have a wonderful night and thanks for writing music with me again. I love writing with you guys.
Micah
