Movement Behind 20,000

Recently I attended my Aunt and Uncle's 50th Wedding Anniversary. What an enormous milestone, in their lives and marriage. They held a ceremony in an historical hotel in New Braunfels, where they renewed their covenant, and shared vows in the form of speeches before dinner. They've always been a huge inspiration in my life, my Uncle being a retired college professor, and pastor, my aunt being a school teacher, and together gifted musicians. During their given speeches they both shared simplicity in their words, but elegance in their meaning. When I arrived home I practically immediately called a friend, and begun working on a song. Not solely to reflect, interpret, or share the inspiration in a musical sense, but also to honor them. When the day was done Ellen and I stepped away with a song that we call 20,000. I wanted to share the lyrics with all of you, and explain some points of the song. This song will also be on my upcoming project "Creatures" which will be coming out at the summer.
