Clocks and Clouds
I was honored to have my friend Luke Shogren write recently to ask my input on title ideas for a song his band is releasing. Luke is a wonderful musician and he, his wife Steph, and Derek (on drums) have been part of the worship team at the Rock (my church in Minneapolis) for years. I’ve always loved their music.
I was encouraged that he sought me out for a creative title because as an aspiring writer, it’s said that you know you have a knack for it if others seek you out for your use of words and then benefit by those words. I am very honored to be able to contribute 3 little words to the musical talent of their group, Clocks and Clouds.
I had a list of ideas, many of them bad. That’s how it goes with creativity though. Any photographer will tell you that out of quantity comes quality. “Just write,” is how that sounds for a writer. You can edit later.
So, I sat down and watched the video twice, brainstormed some ideas, then at the end of the day I watched it again and brainstormed some more. From my brainstorming, I narrowed it down to three. “Darkness Gives Way” was the best fit.
I hope you enjoy the song. -And the title
