The story of Be Still

         This song was written by Isaac Slade. It was written in 2011 after his little brother (Micah, 21 years old that year) phoned him at 4 A.M. saying him he felt helpless. Isaac talked to him for a while, and then both went to sleep. At the next morning, while having breakfast, he caught his guitar and started composing a song. As he says: “it wasn’t like writing, the lyrics just came. It never comes that easy, just maybe with the song Happiness”. Then he went to the studio and recorded the song. Even he didn’t mean to have it on the record; he just wanted to record it to his brother.  Well, finally they put it on the record, but the original one; as Joe said: “don’t change it, it’s perfect”.

Here you can listen to a live solo version of the song in the Today Show:
