Exodus 14 | Dawson Cowals

Coming soon to a couch near you! We’ve been booking some intimate home shows in the Portland area this summer and are looking for some more homes to invade. So if you would like to host an Acoustic Living Room Concert please let us know!
“Cowals’ tunes are full and captivating whether he is playing solo acoustic guitar or accompanied by a handful of other talented musicians. The multi-talented artist’s flute work and lackadaisical vocal octave jumps throughout certain songs also give these Biblical verse driven tunes a Dave Matthews feel.” —Kelly O’Neil

Inspiration & Overview

I wrote this song on November 3, 2012 after being inspired by Cliff Graham‘s amazing book, “Day of War,” which is a fictional account of the battles and life of David and his mighty men. They are currently working on turning his book into an epic movie, and the action filled sequences from the pre-visualization work they have done helped inspire the tone and theme for this song. My dad turned me on to the books as he spent several weeks this past summer at the YWAM base in Kona working on the engineering plans and building of the new studio where the movie for “Day of War” will be produced. David L. Cunningham, who also directed the movie “To End All Wars,” will be producing and directing, along with screenwriter John Fusco, who penned the script for “Hidalgo.” You can check out more about the books and movie here:

Here is another song that Nick and I did in our little impromptu living room concert back in August 2011. The dog, Waldo, was apparently trying to lick someone’s dinner plate and was getting reprimanded toward the beginning of the song. What can you do about dog drama? 😉 We played a slightly extended version of the song since Nick was there to do some gorgeous soloing on top of it.

This is a song I wrote back in September of 2010 while we were going through a bit of a rocky time financially and not knowing from month to month how we would pay the bills or put food on the table. I hope this song can speak and minister to anyone else who has gone through, or is currently going through a similar trial.
