<span style="font-size: large;">Driving home</span>, this last weekend, for the first time since the semester started, I found I was craving some Rambellwood music, and slid the disc into my cd player. It stunned me a little bit. It had been so long since I'd heard it and I was, in many ways, hearing it for the first time. I found myself listening to layers of the music I'd never really noticed, the details of melodic guitar and the steady, thrumming rhythm of drums and bass, the harmony of sibling voices and textural details of strings and reverb.<br />
The music made me desperate for road-tripping with my siblings, for our suburban packed with gear, for loading and unloading, testing sound, running songs, for wood-shedding transitions and intros till they were perfect, for sharing music, with our audience and each other.<br />
<br />
Rambellwood is in a pause, at present. We are, all of us, pursuing our separate futures outside of family music. Despite that, the music is in our blood, and we are each finding ways to keep it alive in our daily lives. Sam is leading worship and writing music, as well as getting our new website up and running. James found a way to fit his drumset into his small apartment, and is keeping his rhythm in shape. Emma sings on worship teams every chance she gets, and keeps a journal of lyric ideas. Johanna and Grace are both pursuing music at school, vocally and musically.<br />
<br />
The music is alive, and well, y'all. Stay tuned!<br />
<br />
And hey, check out our <span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://rambellwood.com/" target="_blank">new website</a>!</span> It's pretty cool, right? Let us know what you think! We'd love to hear from you.<br />

I will just say it involved a lot<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> dust</span>, and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">cobwebs</span>, and careful thought, </div><div style="text-align: center;">a lot of labor behind the camera, and a lot of effort in front of it.<br />
<br />
And, along with some <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">red paint</span>, and a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">red suitcase</span>, it meant countless hours of editing, long, midnight hours, and a final "all-nighter" to complete the project according to deadline.</div><br />

Every weekend Sam can spare to come home, he makes the 2 1/2 hour drive and spends countless hours in the studio, working to balance mixing, recording and producing with his homework.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-APT_WI0SOQ4/TVxOfM_fWnI/AAAAAAAACOI/1Y05nduHGsA/s1600/IMG_4335.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-APT_WI0SOQ4/TVxOfM_fWnI/AAAAAAAACOI/1Y05nduHGsA/s400/IMG_4335.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div>And we are moving forward! We are pushing toward this goal we are so passionate for. We are recording, and planning, trying to promote and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">seek out shows for the spring and summer.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zDj5e9X0C1E/TWLNw1Dd8uI/AAAAAAAACOM/Y89_9_39jF8/s1600/IMG_4345.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zDj5e9X0C1E/TWLNw1Dd8uI/AAAAAAAACOM/Y89_9_39jF8/s400/IMG_4345.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><br />
</div><div>And.... guess what? <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>"Windowpane" is on itunes! </i></span> In case you missed the <u>Facebook </u>update... check out the song <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/windowpane/id415749487?i=415749492&ign-mpt=uo%3D4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>here</i></span></a>, and please leave a comment to let other <i><u>itunes</u></i> users know what you think.</div><div><br />
</div><div>There is one more thing before I close. As I mentioned previously, we are hoping to tour throughout this spring and summer. Our goal is to find venues that fit our genre, to share our music with a new and larger group of people. So.... do ya'll know of any venues? Churches, coffee shops, even events, where you think our music would fit? Let us know, <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">so we can fill up our <a href="http://rambellwoodband.blogspot.com/p/calendar.html">calendar.</a></span></i></div><div><br />
</div><div>In His strength,</div><div><br />

As we were unable to meet our deadline, we decided, instead,<em><span style="font-size: large;"> to release a single.</span></em><br />
<br />
So... I got to work on it, designed the cover art, uploaded the final mix... and....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-dLtKbJnQTc/TTXBlWAYm5I/AAAAAAAACNc/VNGKycT9OOk/s1600/windowpane+cover+art+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="390" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-dLtKbJnQTc/TTXBlWAYm5I/AAAAAAAACNc/VNGKycT9OOk/s400/windowpane+cover+art+4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Discovered that it could take up to three weeks before it's available on itunes. Bummer, right?<br />
<br />
So... I guess we'll all just have to keep waiting. But guess what? As soon as I get the news, I will head to the computer and let you know. Follow us on our new <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rambellwood-Band/183037965052058">facebook</a></span></i> page, or on <a href="http://twitter.com/rambellwood"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">twitter</span></i></a>, or just here on the blog, to find out first thing.<br />
<br />
And the album is still in the works. We're just waiting for Sam, who is not only the band leader, but also our producer, to come home for the weekend and hit the studio.<br />
<br />
So... until then!<br />
<br />

<i>"Rambellwood"</i> is our home, where we live, lying in the pleasant Piney Woods of East Texas, but it is also who we are, as a family. It is where we share our lives with those we love. It is where we sit, gathered in our living room, and share our hearts with each other. It is where we congregate around a laden table, or assemble to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">rest in His presence</span>. It is where my parents have built their home, and raised their family.<br />
<br />
The Lord has taken us all on an incredible journey in these past months. The discovery of <a href="http://blessbonny.blogspot.com/"><i>Mom's illness</i></a> shook the roots of our foundation, and pulled away the glass from our eyes. Through these past months, He has given us a new vision, a new knowledge, of who we are... as a family.<br />
<br />
And so, <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">as a family</span></i>, we are... <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: ANGELIZED, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Rambellwood.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
In all sincerity,<br />
<br />
Emma<br />

We love that about it, love how it shares our vision to have no musical boundaries, to reach out for new ideas, <span class="Apple-style-span">for fresh sound</span>, to make our music a genre of its own.<br />
