I'm Gonna Play Music!

Today is "Leap Day." What better time to launch a new song, "I'm Gonna Play Music," the first track FamilyBusiness's new full-length album, "Heirloom," available in mid-March 2020. "I'm Gonna Play Music" is a modern take on the Bible's King David's unashamed expression of worship. As David is leading the procession carrying up the ark of the covenant from the house of Obededom to the city of David, he is overflowing with great joy. The band is playing, and David is dancing with all his might and playing music before the Lord. However, his wife, Michal, despises his undignified display of worship. David responds with the wonderful words, "I will play music before the Lord, and I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight." - from which comes the title and theme of this song. "I'm Gonna Play Music" was actually written nearly ten years ago. At that time, I (Brian) was facing much opposition to my ministry from several members of the church I pastored, and in particular, opposing my expressing my faith and life experiences through my songwriting and playing. As I read and reread this account of Obededom's (thus the name of my record label), and especially of David's experiences with honoring the Lord's presence and worshipping Him (II Samuel 6; I Chronicles 15), this song was born. The first recording (2011) has been "in the can" since then, mostly because the master was misplaced. Just last week, it was rediscovered, along with another song from that same recording session ("Breathe In Me" - also appearing on "Heirloom"). So, here it is. We hope you enjoy listening and will resonate with the joyous determination to worship our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, no matter what comes. Let the music play!
