Two Wrongs - Artist: Album: released as single only, From: Louisville, Please Support and purchase 'Two Wrongs' from ProjectOpus.com (http://www.projectopus.com/user/chris-carder), Date Posted: March 20, 2007

Song about a true story I heard on the news about 5 years ago. A bullied kid had enough and pulled the trigger. I remember the old line that 'Two Wrongs don't make a right'. Then as a Christian I think how no one will have an excuse when we meet our Maker face to face. We can not say, "I would have lived for You, but I had a terrible childhood, or was abused or was born blind or________ (you fill in the blank). God has given us every opportunity to enter the gates of heaven when we die.....don't make the wrong choice, but accept the gift.

Shoebox 'Shoebox' is my current single from TRUST. You can find out more about the cd release of TRUST here. I wrote this song with Mac Powell of Third Day (he also produced TRUST) in Mac's home studio in Atlanta, GA. My next single should be coming out sometime during the month of January 2006 if you want to know when it comes out take a sec and sign up for my newsletter. Do Over Ever wish that you had the chance to do things over again? Maybe if our past had just been different then things would be better now? Some of us might even have a shoebox "or two" filled with things lost, missed, stolen, destroyed, regretted, etc., and maybe those "empty dreams that never came true" have us looking backwards and missing all the "better days" ahead. Change Changing our lives usually starts with letting go of one thing and embracing another. This song is a declaration of freedom for the human heart. My hope is that you will find encouragement in your own personal journey of leaving the past behind and embracing the wonders which are in front of us now. t00-m0ch, Chris Shoebox I’ve got a shoebox underneath my arm, Yeah, its been draggin’ me down way too long. Filled with empty dreams that never came true I bet we all have got a box or two. I’m letting go Of all the things that are pulling me down Now that I know There’s so much for me than what’s come before I’ve done made up my mind Not wasting no more time I’m leaving it behind I’m tired of thinking ‘bout what might have been How I could change my life and live it again That’s just a lie trying to run me down My better days are all in front of me now. © 2006 Too Much Records.

I wrote this song on a mandolin a friend brought to me in the hospital when I was recovering from back surgery. What a cool transition from the original sound to the finished track. Kip Bell from the band called Rocketboy plays the killer guitars.
