"and i feel stuck.." "The song was written and recorded on the same day. October 21. I was looking out across the waters of my life thinking, "Nothing is certain. Anything can happen. But I can't make this on my own. And nothing here can satisfy me." This is my prayer on the day before my birthday: that Christ's love would be all that I need; that even when things are not the way I would have them, His presence would be enough......That was a really, really tough time for me. Just recording that album was tough. A lot of things didn't go the way we wanted them to. Just a real growing time, maturing time I guess. Being away from home for 3 months and the feeling of not being able to express what I wanted to in music. The feeling that you have these songs inside of you but couldn't get them out was a really tough thing. So Let That Be Enough was kind of a song of desperation, a calling out to God to be living and active in my life. I wrote the song after lunch, played it for Charlie (Producer Charlie Peacock) and he said "that's it" and we recorded it in like the second take. We added background vocals and keys, and that as it. We re-wrote the song New Way To Be Human 43 times and recorded it again, and again, and again, and then this one was finished in like 3 hours." -- Jon Foreman, on writing Let That Be Enough every year it gets closer to the 22nd birthday mentioned in the song. but almost every time i revisit this song it still feels the same as i felt in the old days. |
