This song has a particularly special meaning for me. I blogged about this a few years ago, but many of you know that my father passed away in 2009. When I went home for the funeral, I found one of my dad's old mini cassette recorders. On one side, I heard sounds of him hunting (so it had to be really old). On the other, I actually found him singing the old Christian classic "He Touched Me."

Behind the Meaning: My Everything (Close To You)
So this song was inspired by yet another Fred Hammond song (Everything To Me). After listening to this song, I was on this kick to write about how God was just...MY everything. I had a few songs that I had arranged previously that fulfilled this desire, but none of them were good enough to put on an album. I was in the studio with my Producer, Noel, and he played this track for me. Okay, let me pause here for a second. So I have to admit something. This track was NOT originally for me...but after I heard it, I just couldn't let it go. So yes, someone got Track Jacked.... But dont worry, I added my own flavor to it--rearranged it, added some sounds, added an intro, added a vamp, and made it mine :-).

Behind the Meaning: Close To You...The Album
So I've decided to do something that I've never seen from any other artist (I pay attention to)...I'm going to blog about why I created each of the songs on my album. I figure I should start by talking about the album as a whole. Well this whole journey was built on two things. First, I wanted to find my sound (who is Marc Danyell). Then I had to think about WHY I was making this album.
