After taking a much-needed break from touring, David composed the music on Winding Down in just six weeks. Every song is designed with purpose, not only to be melodically pleasing, but also to be melodically surprising. While the overall tone of the album is dark, the music is thoughtful and prayerful. It's what soulful yearning sounds like... music to comfort you in difficult, trying times. The return of Hope grows closer with each passing day.
