Yes, John had input on most of the songs, but officially only co-wrote one.
Very observant, p-freak.... I asked about this too when I was proofing the texts. Kevan Cajka/Cyka is the same person, and uses different names for writing, and another name for publishing rights.
Do a google search on both names, and you'll find it both ways.

What ever happened to the recordings that were made for hope marches on? Are those ever going to be used they were good.

Down the corridor or life in between our death and birth
We may start to lose our way in the search to find our worth
Our value comes in the fact we live
Life is a gift only God can give

Initial Thoughts
Sounds like the album may have a few songs worth listening to, but I really don't think it's the album he should have made if wants carry the bulk of Petra fans into solo career. I'm not just talking about the Petheads either. We are too small a group to support anyone's career. I'm talking about the average person out there who loved the music of Petra and John's past solo work. I mean even Swine was a better fit for that group than this album will be. This album is basically adult contemporary pop a little (very little) rock mixed in. John's voice was built for rock and roll and this album is just going to tell everybody that John has gotten to old to rock anymore. They will move on to someone who can.

Re: Initial Thoughts
I understand what you are saying about this album, I must say I was very disappointed when I first heard it as a Petra/John fan.Preacherman777 wrote:Sounds like the album may have a few songs worth listening to, but I really don't think it's the album he should have made if wants carry the bulk of Petra fans into solo career.

Having said that, it has grown on me quicker than every other change in music style that Petra/John has gone through.
John's voice is build for rock I agree, and his voice has developed into a heavier rock voice over the years; Going to this style must have be hard, but he is no spring chicken so this is going to be better for him tour wise.
Over all I am pumped about the new album, I will buy extra copies for my mates.

Yeah, but this is where John is now. So, you could hear him sing rock half-hearted, or this whole-hearted. This is a good side of John and I think at this stage in his life, as he is turning inward (it sounds like he is anyway), his message requires this type of music. The lyrics and spirit must be reflected in the music.

Preacherman, it's a new day.
Some times you have to let the past be the past, and move forward instead of hanging on to what was.
Can John still rock? Absolutely. Can he rock out with the best of them? Yes. Does he want to continue in the same direction he's been going in for the past 20+ years? No.
This album is meant not to distance Petra fans, or ignore their loyalty to Petra's rock sound over the years. Of course not. Hopefully Petra's fans will also like this album even though it's not the rock they're used to.
This album will hopefully gain new listeners with a different sound (for John) and a different direction, lyrically.
As Brent said - and John himself, if you've been reading his messages and press releases - this is where he's at is now.

I love John bascially for his big heart and strong voice and I know he is going in a different direction these days, but there is one style of music I can't listen too and thats country. I hate the twang in the guitar, the giity up bass lines and just about everything else there is to do with country; Saying that I'm not a really big fan of the album. The first song on the video is a country song and most likely to be put on country radio; The second song is AC and I really like it. I've listen to all the clips on the site and my ears are hearing some songs I can't stand, but also some songs that are really great and will enjoy for history. I will buy the CD but it probably won't be in my changer/MP3 that often.
I'm sorry I've never been known to be politically correct in my words or thinking, so hopefully I didn't offend anyone.

New & better videos from the Daystar performance available:

BTW: I think it's funny that some of you already are discussing the new album, when all you have heard is 60 sec. of the beginning of trax!
This new solo album is totally awesome, - I have heard all of it
It's an incredible piece of work, both musically and lyrically.
And John rocks too! As always!
