Inspiring and Breath giving - A perfect start to the day!

A sweet groove and vibe that's smart and easy on the ears. Featuring prominent artists including Billy Steele, Rachel Kurtz, Craig Dion, Agape and more!

I’d been playing around with the little “It’s My Day” jingle for months and as usual resisting the temptation to begin generating too many word ideas which can complicate a sweet riff. I often enjoy a groove for as long as possible before I let myself put words to it. I always feel like I’m loosing something beautiful once the writing process begins and your once delightful free flowing ditty suddenly has structure. But this groove and the phrase It’s My Day was as they say "speaking to me."

I was very lucky to be working with the masterful guitar player and teacher Michael May in Minneapolis around the time that I decided to record this song. He introduced me to vocalist Rachel Kurtz & drummer Craig Dion who in turn connected me to musician extraordinaire David EIland and several others in his circle and voila!

From the beginning this song cried out for a sweet rap. Enter ripping Minneapolis Hip Hop Out Reach rapper Agape (Dave Scherer) who brought on the awesome Billy Steele of the gospel singing Steele family.

Side note: The version posted here is a combination of 2 songs; My Next Great Day & Thinking Strong; with a little spit from Agape to paste em all together.

lyrics

It’s my day, I’m ready to play
You better believe I’ll be making hay
On my way to my next great day!

It’s my day, I’m ready to say cause I’ve prepared the way
That I’m on my way to my next great day!
This is it! This is it!

Yo Yo This is my next great day
I’m gonna keep moving so ya’ll just make way
I’ve decided that I can no longer fight it
Excited I might have been down in the past but now I am delighted
Because I sing songs and I think strong
And I like to serve them up just like ping pong
I keep my head up high never quit
On my way to my next great day this is it yeah this is it!

It’s my day, I’m ready to play
You better believe I will make you pay
On my way to my next great day!

It’s my day, I will say
You will be blown away
I’m on my way to my next great day!
This is it! This is it!

Get your grove on I’m a get a move on
I’m a get my no longer feeling down and blue on
I can see the sun is shining and I never knew if it would shine again
It came back paint that picture in my think cap
Think strong future you can change that
Gotta admit wanted to quit now I spit
Cuz I’m on my way to my next great day this is it!

Get your hands high to the sky and say
I’m on my way to my next great day
Get your hands high to the sky and say
I’m on my way to my next great day

Keep it moving and keep it bouncing and keep it clapping for the next great day

Thinking strong, self talking all day long
My thoughts belong in the service of a purpose in a hit song
Rocking on…moving on, Get your grove on
Be Thinking Strong

Thinking strong
Keeping the dream of the team moving right along
Writing stronger songs
That’s the goal that’s whole and right on
Put your stockings...we’re moving on
Get your grove on
Keep Thinking strong

If your on your way to your next great day then let me hear you say “what”
If your on your way to your next great day dance get your hands and raise em up!

I wake up grateful for the sunrise
Cause once I get done flying some guys get tongue tied
They want my joy it freely available
Gotta choose joy tell my boys so they will know
It’s a mind state, knowing “I’m great”
It’s ready for us now so people why wait
Just some positivity I’m trying to hit you with
On my way to my next great day this is it, yeah this is it!


Thinking strong, It’s what I do when I commit and then I follow through
On my way to my next great day!
Thinking strong! It’s that I care and that serve and that I stay aware
On my way to my next great day!
It’s my day, I’m ready to say I’ve prepared the way
And I’m on my way to my next great day!
Every breath I breathe, I co-create with every thought I think
In every way with every thought I pray
It’s that I dare
Every thoughts a prayer
