“Revival,” was an idea I tried to write after attending a worship night where a number of Christian churches came together to sing praise and worship songs. I had never been to an event quite like it, and the next day the word “revival” kept coming to my mind. My original intent was to explicitly make it a worship song, as I was getting tired of my happy song/sad song routine and wanted to try something different.
The opening lyrics, “I’m gonna dust off the vinyl,” were originally, “I’m gonna dust off the Bible.” From there, it morphed into what it is now. Songwriting is a lot like solving a puzzle. And as I got further and further into working on this one, I realized I just had to let the song be what it is - a positive, light, upbeat and groovy love song that can lift people’s spirits and take them to another place. For me, it’s still a worship song :)
“Revival” is available on all streaming services including Spotify and Apple Music.
