Original Music in Popular Styles Written from a Christian Perspective
Did you know that Carter is the 42nd most popular last name in the U.S.? Or that Robert is the 3rd most popular 1st name?!?!?!?!? Well I asure you that if you are looking for a guy that loves Jesus, writes music to worship and glorify the Father Son and Holy Spirit AND writes...4th and 5th grade band music...? I'M your man!!! These days I have mostly been doing occassional solo gigs as I court the lovely and talented Mindy Schott (my girlfriend of 6 months.) I do orriginal contemporary worship and pop rock orriginals from a Christian perspective. There's just enough humor, sincerity, and vulnerability to keep the audience attentive as I share my Christian experience in an attempt to meet people where they are and bring them closer to God. With the band, we do a lot of "secular" rock covers with a Christ centered focus. That way, people are bound to hear the songs again and have the seed watered.

Story behind the song
While spending time wiht the Lord, repenting for not doing so enough, I got the idea to write another song about it using different metaphors and such (maybe I wrote this one before Together). Yah, I did. But Together fcuses on different aspects of that relationship. Similiar themes, but different approaches. Very different styles. Speaking of style, that awesome guitar solo is Robert Messore! And that's Christine on the Violin! It's as beautiful as she is!
Lyrics
ROUGH SEAS „¶ 1997 Rob Carter Somethin¡¦ deep inside me¡¦s tellin¡¦ me somethin¡¦s wrong. And I think I would be lying to you if I said I didn¡¦t know what it is, and so I won¡¦t say that. (spoken) Let me tell you what it¡¦s like¡K Standing near the water¡¦s edge and needing to swim. And I see all the clouds in the sky, but I rush in anyway, Never seeing the waves that drag me down. CHORUS I would know how to swim in rough seas if I¡¦d been Spending time with the lifeguard of my soul. And I know each day will bring different tides, different things To strengthen me or destroy me It¡¦s my choice. Something deep inside me¡¦s telling me it can change. Though it wasn¡¦t apparent before, it¡¦s not as strange as it seems. These ideals that I dream can be real life. BRIDGE And there¡¦s no excuse that I can say. The simple truth is if I don¡¦t pray I will never be more More like Him (solo, then chorus)
