"By the Light" is written by Melle Johnson and Paul Thomas.

Meaning-Melle battles the angel. I am demanding the angel’s blessing and wrestling him for it. The lyrics were written by Paul Thomas and it seems pretty clear to me what this song is about; faith in the face of adversity. We call this the Jose Feliciano mix due to the liberal use of reverb favored by Feliciano.

This song is featured on the Paul Thomas' compilation album The Lyricist. Listen to "By the Light" and the rest of the the songs on the music page

My Social Connections

Last.fm is an internet radio service featuring "sound of faith". It customizes a playlist based on what you listen to. I get a small royalty when you listen to a song. Imagine that.

Blip.fm is a Twitter offshoot that allows you to be your own DJ. My playlist leans towards fare with a spiritual undertone. Lots of U2, Leonard, Cohen and Melle Johnson. If you are a producer, send me your mp3 tracks and I'd be glad to upload to Blip.

Youtube showcases the finest in my singing newscasts and songs in progress.

MySpace.com is still great for finding new music. Like mine. And my friend Dave Wesson And this guy Agent Lovelace, who my wife is threatening to leave to go hunt down. I also blog on Myspace.

Twitter reminds me to keep it simple.

Facebook, to quote a friend, is a place I make wisecracks and inside jokes. May I get inside your joke?
