Memo From the Mann

Wonderful Counselor - Solo Live on The Huddle with Commentary

I'm often asked which song from an album is your favorite. It's impossible to assign one as your dearest, or most loved ...but as of this moment, if I had to speak of only one, It'd be Wonderful Counselor. It was inspired by Isaiah 9:6. “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” ~ Isaiah 9:6 Lord we need your counsel in every area of our life. As we think about our family, friends, work, and decisions—We know we need to be smart beyond what is humanly possible. So please help us listen to you during this season as the only one who is the Wonderful Counselor. Pray on... Album: Hope Love Joy Peace © 2013 Eddy Mann CCLI #7142112 Hissongs/ASCAP

Hope Love Joy Peace

Hope Love Joy Peace was released ten years ago on November 17, 2015. It's a 10-track collection, that was inspired by the Advent season 2013. Itr blends Americana, and folk-rock influences with spiritual themes. It reflects a period of personal transition for me, as I was adjusting to my mother's change of residence, to her heavenly home. It was a season of change, a moment of growth, and the realization of a deeper faith through the healing.  It's with a humble heart that I pray you are enriched by God's words, the spirit's moving, and the love for Jesus that is present throughout this project. Let hope, love, joy, and peace be ever present as you journey through this coming season of anticipation. Pray on... © 2013 Eddy Mann Hissongs/ASCAP Read my personal reflection on SubStack.

'Rejoice' ...with Commentary

The opening track to this week's featured album (P.O.P.) is 'Rejoice (O Come Emmanuel).' This would have to be in my top ten songs to play, perform and or worship with in a live setting.  One of the true tenets of my top ten, is whether the song and or arrangement holds up on a solo acoustic guitar rendering, and then also with the full band, and this song does it sweetly, it swings either way. I love it! When it came time to arrange the play order there was never a doubt lyrically or musically that this song should open up the album. It's a table setter, it provides the perfect mood in both lyrical tone, and musical harmony for the rest of the project. It's not a banger, it's a bridled invitation to groove along through this season of anticipation. Take a break from the rush, take a divine breath, and listen...  Pray on... © 2015 Eddy Mann CCLI # 7167133 Hissongs | ASCAP

P.O.P.

“For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ~ Isaiah 9:6 P.O.P. (Prince of Peace) was released on November 12, 2013, and it remains a popular fixture throughout my 'Winter Run' every single year. As we approach Thanksgiving and the season of anticipation, I invite you to curl up in a quiet meditative space, and bask in the glory of our Lord's birthday. Pray on...

O' Come - Solo/Live on Evensong with Commentary

When I'm feeling down when my energy's flat, I've learned to turn to God in prayer, which in return leads me to worship and praise, which inevitably corrects my arc. “You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased.” ~ Revelation 4:11 This is a live solo performance from Evensong on November 06, 2025.
