Christ centered songs written by Dan Simmons...the best Gospel and inspirational A.I. music on the internet!
"firesong" is the songwriting ministry of Dan Simmons Thanks for stopping by. It's my desire to faithfully share that which has been given to me. This website will be a sampling of recordings that I, along with family and friends, have done over past 45 years. There are over 600 original unpublished songs presented in demo form on this site. Special thanks go to my partners in music, my daughter Amber, son Ian and the guys of Single Heart (Gene, Bob, Chris, Marty and Tata) who joined me to sing praises to the Lord down through the years. I also wish to thank those co-writers and artists that have joined with me in developing new music the passed few years to share on this website. I'm now featuring AI (Artificial Intelligence) groups that I've developed to sing some of the songs. I hope it's evident to everyone... that though the melodies and harmonies, styles and singers may change... JESUS has always been and will always be...the Song! ...this music is one simple expression of a very thankful heart. (Dan is a retired firefighter and ordained minister)

Story behind the song
Jesus stepped "outside the box" of traditional views and religion and sometimes, many times, maybe most of the time that's exactly where He wants us to be...making a difference outsde the box, outside of the church building, outside of our comfort zones...that's where the need is...right?
Lyrics
I been thinkin outside the box Out beyond the orthodox Out where my faith really rocks From my head down to my socks Im leavin all the rules behind I need to know whats on Gods mind I wanna walk ...where Jesus walksoutside the box Theres so much more God has for me Much more to domuch more to be But I need loose... old tendencies I need a new... philosophy I need to leave... the past behind Throw out the oldand drink new wine A new paradigm... no paradoxoutside the box Theres a new song to sing outside the box I found a new song for meoutside the box Im stepping outside the box I wanna to know ...what Gods got So, I need a faith that really rocks Me from my head down to my socks I need to shake... old attitudes Nothin to fake...nothin to loose I believe the Spirit rocksoutside the box Just beyond the padded pews...just beyond the words we use...out there where the righteous will not go...just beyond my comfort zone...just beyond the things Ive known...out there where the rubber meets the road...OUTSIDE THE BOX!

Not sure if I voted on the song as far as rating. Doing that now with the comment I bought it and it is my theme song very much. Put into words how I am believing at this time and before, and hope to believe into eternity!

Hey Dan, I love the country funk of this song, production and vocals are as usual top notch. You are no doubt one of the best composers I have heard. ART
