Let Praise Arise Living Playlist – YouTube
This “Living Playlist” is official home for my raw, unreleased music, fresh demos and lyric videos before release.
The way it works is, I drop a new track (brand new song, re-worked recording, an old favourite or maybe even by popular request) into this playlist every week or so but the playlist is capped at 10 to 12. So older tracks will disappear (but they may still be found on my other playlist “Let Praise Arise – Full Catalogue”).
How to be a part:
- Subscribe to it at YouTube (and hit the Bell) – never miss a drop!
- Bookmark the playlist – save it to your library to stream the rotation.
- Vote in the comments – tell me your favourite – which track should I take to the next level, or what do you just want to hear more?
A “Living Playlist” is an iterative approach to developing songs and recordings, similar to Agile methodologies common in contemporary software development (as you may observe by frequent updates to your software and apps). It involves incremental improvements with “customer” (your) feedback as YouTube comments, likes and shares. This (combined with analytics and CCLI activity reports) feeds into what I decide to work on next. That, of course, is unless I decide to write a completely new song.
The living playlist is also now featured prominently on the LPA web site home page.
Full Catalogue Updated
In addition to newest song “Fray Through The Night“, most lyric videos have been re-worked, re-mixed and/or mastered since the 2024 editions were uploaded. The goal in 2024 was to ensure that every song in the catalogue was learnable. The 2026 update improves listenability although I still do not yet consider them to be release grade. (Some are getting closer to this).
All songs in the full catalogue have also been updated to have closed captions (CC) use the same lyric source as used on the video. This may seem redundant unless you speak another language and want to enable CC for automated translation into your language. I figured it is better to only deal with translation inaccuracies than to have that compounded on top of AI text to speech inaccuracies.
The full catalogue is still featured below the living playlist on the LPA web site home page, with click-through to full catalogue YouTube playlist on the “Songs” page accessible from the main web site menu.
Fraser Valley Music Awards 2026
I was nominated for FVMA Gospel Artist of the Year 2026, but did not win in the category. I did however increase my portion of the Dakota Leslie cash prize based on fan votes. Thank you all for your support.
