Welcome to Michael Blue's SoundClick page! I have been writing and recording since the early '80s and have recorded literally thousands of tracks. Mostly scratch demos of simple song ideas. My primary instrument has always been some form of synthesizer or keyboard workstation, though I also play guitar, bass, saxophone, percussion and others. Essentially, my "style" is hard to pin down. It has been described as a blend of good old-fashioned '80s electronica and modern acoustic ambiance, with some orchestral thrown in for good measure. This generally makes for an unusual sonic experience, without the overworked "trying to be different" feel. I have been actively involved in the worship community at my local church on and off since the '80s. I have also been involved in other church-related musical endeavors, including a local-access cable TV program called KDOT. Currently I am working on my first Indie release; "MUSE" (EP), and hope to have it completed and ready for distribution by late 2010. This site gives access to some "behind the scenes" listens to some of the scratch demos that will eventually be reworked into tracks for the project, as well as some other demos and scratch pieces I'm working on. I use SoundClick as a tool to distribute for critique as well as to work with non-local artists on projects. You can be sure to see updates fairly often in addition to a fairly unusual mix of music, from electronica to pop to film soundtrack.

Story behind the song
This an OLD recording (from tape, thus the hiss) of one of my all-time favorites, and the favorite of many of my friends. This is obviously a musical interpretation of Psalms 23, and was originally recorded in the late '80s or very early '90s. This particular recording is from sometime around 1994, and was done in a friend's living room for a demo compilation he put together of all his friends. The recoding is rough now, but at the time this was the single best recording and version of this song to date. This song will be re-recorded for the "my Goliath" project.
Lyrics
The Lord is my shepherd I shall not be in want He makes me lie down in green pastures He leads me beside quiet waters He restores my soul He guides me in paths of righteousness For His Name's sake Even though I walk Through the Valley of the shadow (of death) I will fear no evil Even though I walk Through the Valley of the shadow (of death) I will fear no evil You prepare a table before me In the presence of my enemies You anoint my head with oil My cup overflows Surely goodness and love will follow me All the days of my life And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever, forever... Even though I walk Through the Valley of the shadow (of death) I will fear no evil Even though I walk Through the Valley of the shadow (of death) I will fear no evil For You are with me! ©2008 Michael Blue
