As a special treat, I uploaded a track from the show. Its called &amp;#8220;Sometimes a Light Surprises&amp;#8221;, based off a hymn by William Cowper (of course). Fair warning, its raw and sometimes off-key.&lt;/p&gt;

Just a quick reminder that I have a compilation of songs available for streaming all the time here and on Bandcamp, and you can download the all the tracks from Bandcamp for a mere $2.22** (or more if you&amp;#8217;re feeling generous).

However, for posterity&amp;#8217;s sake, here is the demo I recorded for it. Enjoy!&lt;/p&gt;

In some respects I prefer this version to the other, but this recording is not of the best quality&amp;#8230;and both the guitars and vocals are a bit sloppy. Also&amp;#8230;its loud (or at least its supposed to be). In any case, I hope you enjoy it!&lt;/p&gt;
