more on the song
to do what i've done since i was a child
come up front and sing
i receive a text from my brother david
reminding me that i am there to do work
that we will breakthrough
i pocket this reminder in the corner of my mind
and set the intention
i've known all week what i am supposed to sing
i contemplate whether i should talk
i think about the past year
and the song that i am going to sing
i must tell jesus
all of my troubles
i cannot bear these burdens alone
in my distress he kindly will help me
he ever loves and cares for his own
it is like i have gone inside my body
and i see the faint scars from the heartache
i remember the days of no longer wanting to live
i reflect upon the moments of hopelessness
and the seeming resurgance that time and love
have brought my way
one of the ministers rises to do a scripture reading
i am stopped in my tracks
love is as strong as death, she reads
and elaborates on her chance finding of this passage earlier in the week
a year ago i found this verse
not in the bible, but in elizabeth cunningham's book
the passion of mary magdalen
which seemingly became scripture for me
they call my name, i rise to sing
and the voice within says
just sing. it's all been said.
love is as strong as death
i begin to phrase and i take my time
each word feels special. each note is precious.
i've sung since i was a child
but lately singing has become something different
it is all very intentioned
the fact that this is healing work is so forefront
i recognize music as the vehicle, not the reason
as the words find their way to the people's ears
i see tears falling from one lady
i hear one choking back a sob
we have all been desolate
we have all been at the end
we have all wondered how we got over
or if we could get over

updates
This is an email I have been waiting to send for a minute now! We've been finalizing details and making sure the i's are dotted and t's crossed...but I am so thrilled to announce that my brothers, Kare Alford & David Sosa, and I will be embarking on a series of dates this summer that we are billing as the SUMMER SOULKISS TOUR.
We launch in NYC on Friday, June 26th at 9:30 PM at The Triad on 72nd and Columbus. The band is amazing...my musical comrade from Nashville, Ron Gilmore, is serving as musical director. Kafele is heading up the horn section and we have a special, surprise guest coming in to top it all off. Purchase your tickets NOW at www.timdillinger.com for $12. Admission without a ticket will be $15, so make sure you purchase in advance.
The dates continue as follows:
Saturday, July 18th: Philadelphia, PA @ Fergie's Pub with Anam Owili-Eger, 7:00 PM
Thursday, July 23rd: North Hollywood, CA @ Kulak's Woodshed with Susaye Greene, Patsy Moore, Michael Mishaw and Myrrh, 8:00 PM
Saturday, July 25th: San Francisco, CA @ PAL Blues Festival with Earl Thomas
Sunday, July 26th: San Francisco, CA @ Brainwash Cafe with Charlene Moore , 8:00 PM
More dates are in the works for August and September and will be announced soon.
I am also thrilled to announce that my radio show, "Out the Box with Tim Dillinger", will be returning to the airwaves on Saturday, July 18th (the same day as our performance in Philly!) at 12:00 PM on Rhythmflow Radio. I am so excited to be able to bring the show back and I can't thank Rhythmflow enough for the platform.
We will be doing interviews with artists as we're on the road with the tour...and will be posting behind the scenes footage at the YouTube channel. Click here to subscribe.
More exciting news is coming...
Stay encouraged babies.
I love you.
