More Than Music

Summary: The “More Than Music” Podcast is a passion project hosted by Emily Hamilton, Johnny Hamilton and Jeff Luckey from the band For All Seasons. It’s a collection of conversations between the band members, guests that are smarter than they are, and….YOU! They pull back the curtain on the specific songs and discuss the heart behind them: uncovering everything in the process from initial ideas to the finished product. Their goal is to lead from their wounds, and not their wins — hoping you identify with their vulnerability, while leaving inspired to pursue the unique passion God has placed in you with care, purity, and purpose. So, whether you’re on the brink of a pursuit, or right in the thick of it, the band’s desire is to champion and inspire art that comes from a heart of service. Honesty and passion enable beauty and feeling to be communicated through song. It’s a feeling so tangible that those sound waves can impact a heart forever. Join them in these conversations as they explore the art and beauty of music. Music by Jy lee and Jeff Luckey

 &: "Near" feat. Brian Holland | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 36:05

For this "&" episode, we invite our friend and band pastor Brian Holland to talk about seasons of feeling near to God. Brian has been in full-time ministry for over 20 years, and has been on a journey discovering that he is not only LOVED by God, but also LIKED. This transformative thought process has completely changed the way he looks at life with God. We also spend time exploring what it looks like to bring God into more than just our "quiet time", and recognize that He is ALWAYS with us.

 &: Far feat. Ryan Ellis | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 54:42

For this "&" episode, we invited our friend & fellow artist, Ryan Ellis, to talk about what our response should be in seasons of feeling far from God. Ryan has lived a lot of life, so he brings an incredible amount of wisdom to this topic. Seasons of feeling far from God are hard to admit at times, and instead of asking "God, where are You?", we hope this episode challenges you to ask some much more necessary and life-giving questions. Ryan recently released a 2-part project, "Lyfe" and "Rysponse."

In this newest episode of the More Than Music Podcast, we unpack the creation of our song "Just For Today." As one of our most recently written songs, we go back in more vivid detail on the writing process. We share two separate demos, as well  talk about musical influences, the difference between male and female melodies, and some small nuggets you can hear throughout the song if you listen closely.

 &: "Loneliness" feat. Savannah Locke | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 49:50

On this episode of the podcast, we invited fellow music artist and friend, Savannah Locke, on to the show to have a conversation about seasons of loneliness. Savannah shares her own story, we talk about our basic need for community, the difficulties that social media have introduced, and what it looks like to fight loneliness. We encourage you to find out more about Savannah’s music and writing by visiting her instagram: Instagram.com/savannah_locke

 Behind the song: Friends | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 36:45

Listen as we unpack the creation of our March release, Friends. This is one of our favorite songs to date, so recalling the writing process was a lot of fun. In the episode, we’ll play snippets of the original demo, explain the heart behind the song, as well as explain why this song sounds a little different from previous For All Seasons songs. Feel free to hit us up with any questions you may have!

 &: “Waiting” feat. Rachel Closs | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 47:45

On this episode of the podcast, we invited our dear friend (and inspiration for the song ‘Light & Momentary’) on to the show to have a conversation about seasons of waiting. Rachel shares her own story, we talk about OWNING hard truths, the difficulties we face, the hope that we have, and the importance of trusting in the character of God.    We encourage you to find out more about Rachel's upcoming journey and support her here: rachelcloss.com

 Behind the Song: Light & Momentary | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 39:37

Listen as we unpack the creation of our newest song, Light & Momentary. Unlike our last song, this one went on a LONG journey before being ready to record and release. In the episode, we’ll play snippets of two different demos that were created, explain the heart behind the song, as well as touch on the difficulty of bringing a “live” song into the studio. We hope it encourages you to remember that when creating, the waiting is worth it and some things really do take time.

 &: “Seeing” feat. Pedro LaTorre | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 36:15

In this episode of the More Than Music Podcast, we welcome our friend Pedro LaTorre to join us in talking about seasons of seeing. We met Pedro early in 2018 on The Future Tour, and he has taught us so much about acknowledging God's blessing, living a life of faith, and extending blessing to others. We hope you are challenged and encouraged to see God in all things! To hear the song that inspired this conversation, go here:  https://ForAllSeasons.lnk.to/EveryGoodThing

 Behind the Song: Every Good Thing | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 40:57

We've released our first song of 2019, which means its time for our first "Behind the Song" episode! In this episode we walk you through the process of writing and recording "Every Good Thing." Among many things, you'll hear the full story that inspired the song, learn how we made this pop song feel more like a band record, and hear us talk about our lyrical process. Our hope is that episodes like this one encourage the creative process in all of us!
