NEW MUSIC VIDEO "PAYCHECK"
"PAYCHECK"- by Mike Ward -Official Music Video
"Paycheck,” the music video that paints a vivid picture of a life too many Americans are facing. The song’s plucky mandolin with haunting pedal steel and a steady rhythm guitar provide the backdrop for the “everyday man” vocal.
The Currency of Forgiveness
The Currency of Forgiveness is song is about learning how to coexist unconditionally inside a relationship with grace, patience, love, understanding and empathy. The inspiration for it came from a letter written to a young couple who were about to be married. It’s really about how to truly value all of the little things every day.
Sunday Morning
The lyric is a poem written by Mike's mother, Marjorie Ward. The poem was found on an old floppy disc that was labeled "recipes" (which every member of the Ward family wanted). When the floppy disc was opened there were two folders. One with recipes and one with poems. "Sunday Morning" describes the usual Sunday routine in the family of eight kids and parents.
