Austin's Aspirations

Hello my name is Austin Long. I am just a guy that does his best to put the kingdom first and live for God. I by no means claim to have all the answers and frankly I don't think any single person does; but that's not gonna keep me from finding all that I can.

bomjumaku asked: Just wanted to say I checked out the ep you posted on here and really enjoyed it. Are you selling it as an album yet?

Wow thanks man! I’m really stoked that you liked it. We haven’t posted it on itunes or anything. We are going back this summer to record 3 more songs. At the point we’ll duplicate it and put it on itunes. But let me know the next time you’re in town and I’ll try to meet up with you to get you a copy of what we have so far. 

This is truly moving. The power of music never ceases to amaze me.

Got her hair done, toes, nails
Is that Her, well it’s hard to tell
Cause she’s so caked up in all that make up
It’s like she tryna make up for what she ain’t but,
She’s a saint, but so confused
Cause she’s been rejected by all these dudes
That tell her on a scale of 10 she’s a two
But that ain’t true
If she only knew
In Christ she is loved, she secure and accepted
Never be rejected by God whose elected her
Her beauty is her Godliness
And she ain’t gotta flaunt it cause it’s obvious
Identity is found in the God we trust
And any other identity will self destruct
Identity is found in the God we trust
And any other identity will self destruct

—Lecrae (“Identity”)

Time to pick the pen up again.

I think its time I start to journal again. Some really cool things, to me at least, are starting to happen and I would regret not recording what I feel like could be a pivotal time I’m my life in more detail.

Take a second to check out the teaser for my band’s new EP “The Operator?”

You know you want to! 

nprmusic:

On dueling grand pianos, Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon and drummer Sean Carey work through stripped-down versions of ”Hinnom, TX,” “Wash.,” and “Beth/Rest” from Bon Iver, “Babys” from the Blood Bank EP, and the single “I Can’t Make You Love Me.”

This is beautiful.
