The One

Words and music by Evan Agee

I see you as the night turns to day
The sun begins to shine, forgetting all the troubles of yesterday
I see you and the clouds roll away
The sky bares its blue, for you

You’re nothing like my mother and you’re nothing like my friends
and you’re nothing like the woman like the woman I thought I would be with
and you’re nothing like the girls that I’m always chasing after
oh you’re nothing, nothing but the one.

I had heard when I found the girl for me
love would take control and guide us to our destiny
I had heard everyone has someone
one that’s meant to be for you

You’re nothing like my mother and you’re nothing like my friends
and you’re nothing like the woman like the woman I thought I would be with
and you’re nothing like the girls that I’m always chasing after
oh you’re nothing, nothing but the one.

The church I attend, First Baptist Church of Richmond Indiana is also now podcasting! We finally got a new computer in our sound booth (a 20″ iMac) so now we’re recording the services digitally and releasing the sermon portion of the service online. You can check that out on iTunes as well. I’m really enjoying working on our church’s podcast, not something I get to do often.

For work I’ve been getting into some video-related work as well. We’re adding a component for uploading video that will subsequently be streamed via our video streaming server. It’s something that’s hard to troubleshoot and requires a bit of time but it’s great fun.

Some other great news is that the band I played with a couple of years back, Unseen, is reforming with a slightly altered lineup. This time around we’re playing mostly original music that I’ve written and we’re in the process of writing more. My brother Mitchell is going to be our vocalist so I’m really excited about that. He can sing well and it’ll be great to have a chance to spend more time together.

We (the band) are really looking forward to leading worship and providing music for the evening and that attendance will be at least as good as last time, if not better. The Anchor isn’t really a Christian Coffee House, but it is laid back in nature, though the music is loud.

If you’re available that Saturday night, you owe it to yourself to be there!

One thing that we’re going to be incorporating into the site at some point are resources for people interested in Christian books, movies and music. We hope to have a reviews and rating system setup so we can make recommendations. We’ll see what happens with that, it’s a lot of work.

Enough on that for now, how about you bookmark the Unseen website and check it out once in a while? Or, take advantage of the easy-to-remember domain and memorize it.

We’re gearing up to play for the first monthly “The Anchor” service this Saturday. It’s going to be a great, loud time and I’m sure that it will go very well. I only hope that people will pop out of the woodwork and surprise us. It would be awesome to have a ton of people there.

I’ve been doing a lot of work on the church website still and it’s really starting to turn into something very nice and useful. I’m constantly tweeking things, but you can really get a sense of the scale of the site when you visit it. There’s a lot of info there.

Well, I guess that’s it for now, I’m sure that I’ll post some more Unseen news on here as it becomes available, but you might want to add www.whatisunseen.com to your bookmarks to keep up with us.

We’ve been practicing for an event that we’re playing this Saturday and things are going very well. We’re only doing 10 songs, but you wouldn’t believe how much work goes into learning those songs when you’re working with a group. It’s difficult to get everyone to the point where the know the song inside and out, which is what you need to do if you’re going to have a good performance. We’ve all been working very hard.

Through a twist of fate I’ve ended up as the drummer for the group. As it turned out our drummer wasn’t able to make our main practice and therefore wasn’t able to play for the show. So, I’m doing it now, and it has renewed my love for playing music. I have no doubt that this is the best way for me to serve musically. I’m so comfortable playing drums and I don’t feel as nervous when I’m playing as I do on guitar.

Because of this whole situation I’m actually considering purchasing a drum set with my Christmas money. I did some looking online and I can get a nice drumset for around $300, so I may end up getting one. I’ll wait and see once I have the money. I’ve already got some good drum equipment, so part of me would like to just buy one piece at a time of a REALLY nice set until I have all of the parts that I need. That would be one way to get a really nice set without having to save money forever to get it.

The event we’re practicing for is a youth gathering. There’s going to be food and stuff there as well as games and fellowship, so it should be a great ministry opportunity.
