The new track Seeing Everything Beautiful just released this week. Stream on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, and all music platforms, or click below for some moments of peace, hope, and beauty. You can also read the song story as you listen…
This is my first song to feature a new, state-of-the-art guitar software sample, capturing a world class player and connecting their skill and technique with my fingers on the keyboard. Gentle piano chords in the background keep the rhythm, and soothing orchestral horns and strings provide harmonies underneath.
My inspiration began with a different idea for a theme and title, but nothing magical happened for a couple of days. In searching and investigating some other familiar Bible verses, the Scripture from Ecclesiastes 3:11 caught my eye and heart which says, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” This verse inspired the song Eternity back in 2005, on my 4th album The Voice. However, this time the “everything beautiful” stood out for me. I have to be intentional to slow down, pause, and take notice of the beauty around me each day, or else I will miss it.
The emotion in this music expresses God’s beauty over our life, our relationships, our circumstances, life’s ups and downs, and many other aspects of life where beauty is there for us to receive if we see it. There is some mystery, wonder, and poetry to the idea we can see God’s beauty in everything, and over everything, if we look more closely. I hope Seeing Everything Beautiful washes over you and brings you a sense of knowing God sees you, loves you, and knows you and your every need in this very moment.
How does Seeing Everything Beautiful speak into your story right now?
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11, NIV)
Hi,
There have been some songs that I would have liked the sheet music for but was unable to find them. Do you always offer sheet music? If so, how long after the release of the song?
Kind regards,
Maree
Dear Maree, hello and thank you for enjoying my sheet music, and for your question. Can you let me know which songs you were looking for? I am waiting to see which pieces I will do. The sheet music can take several months to be completed for newer songs, and there are only some songs which feature a piano performance and melody throughout the piece. I am grateful for your support, and hope to have a few new sheet music releases later this year and in the New Year. God’s blessings to you! – Stanton
Thank you Stanton for your very quick reply. This song (Seeing everything beautiful) would be one I’d be interested in (but I see your other message that it’s not available). I’m not a very good pianist and take a long time to learn songs. So when I hear a song I love, I try to find the sheet music. If I can’t, I forgot about it! I learnt Awaken the Dawn during a covid lockdown – it was and still is so very calming and special to me!
Hello Stanton from Starkville, Mississippi!
Oh this is such a beautiful song!!
Is there a way I might play this on a keyboard?
Sincerely,
Margaret Ann Chandler
Oktoc Road, Starkville, Miss
Hi Margaret, thank you for your comment and I am so glad you love this new song! I do not have sheet music for this one, or any of the newer works I have composed in the past year or so. A few these have potential to become sheet music, but it will take some time. I believe this one can be adapted as a piano solo, but if I decide to do this, it would take until later this year or early next. Thanks for your support, and God bless you! – Stanton
Dear Stanton,
I LOVE it! Lots going on in my life, mostly good, but health concerns with loved ones. I am so grateful for my new Church and Church family. They mean everything to me! What a difference it has made in me and my life. My wish is that everyone is so blessed to find what I have found. Thank you Jesus! Thank you God! And thank you Jesus and God for being with my sister Susan as she journeys down this health crisis road. Terrible circulation problem in feet. One toe is dead. Doing tests MRI and CT scan soon to get to the bottom of her problem and hopefully solve it. It has been a trying time for too long but she has the right attitude and is in the best care now in the hospital with a great surgeon looking out for her. Thank you Jesus. Amen.
Hi Brenda, thank you for sharing some of your prayer praises and needs as well. I am grateful you enjoyed this new song, and to know that God and Jesus are giving you hope and strength. Grace and Peace, Stanton
Thankyou for another beautiful piece of music. Do you have any new piano solo music to purchase online?
Thank you for being open to write such heart felt and spiritually filled music for the whole world to share. When I listen
to your music, “God is with us,’ and sharing in our faith journey.
Dear Rachael, thank you for your comment and I am so glad you love this new piece, and that you sense God’s presence as you listen to my music. The most recent solo piano Sheet Music PDF I released was “Circle of Quiet” last year. My primary focus is on composing and recording, but there are a few songs over the past year which feature a piano melody performance throughout the piece, and could have sheet music. I am not sure if you have all my sheet music and/or piano books yet, but there are over 130 sheet music selections on my website between twelve albums, seven PDF Collections of five pieces each, and the single song PDFs. Thank you for your encouragement and support, and God bless you! – Stanton
Stanton, I have never heard your music before, but just heard this for the first time on Pandora, while listening to David Michael, harpist. What a gorgeous piece. Truly inspired. Anointed.
I am a beginning harp player, and I am just now learning to play lever harp. Please let me know if any of your pieces might be adapted for beginning harp. Of course someday I hope to have a used upright piano and then I will come looking for beginner piano music! I am a 65yr old nurse, and during this pandemic I have found such a profound need for hearing God’s voice through music. Thank you so much for such beautiful work💖
Dear Janet, thank you so much for listening, and I am so glad you discovered my music! This is wonderful to hear that you play the harp and are enjoying new learning as well. I may have an idea for a few pieces that you could enjoy with your harp, and will be in touch. Wishing you God’s grace and peace, Stanton
Hi Stanton, thank you for your beautiful new music. I think Seeing every beautiful is a great reminder and statement for not forgetting that God is carrying us along our path. In these challenging times it is hard sometimes not to get distracted or discouraged. Your piece is helping us to remind that God is still in control and Loving us beyond our knowlegde. I am working on a project called Dawn and i was determined by Psalm 34:2 :
‘My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad’
It is stated that the humble and meek of heart shall inherit the earth. Let us never forget that and keep on walking our path with Jesus. Seeing everything beautiful along the way
All the best, Jacob / Jacobs Wonder
Hello Jacob, and thank you for your thoughtful and meaningful words about “Seeing Everything Beautiful.” I am grateful my music and this piece are a blessing to you. Wishing you all God’s best with your project and music too. Grace and Peace, Stanton
