Free Music - Take Everything by Joel Rakes (One of Kat’s Favorite Songs…)
Take Everything by Joel Rakes is a song I first heard while sitting at Starbucks early one Saturday morning, tea in hand. I’d been in a season of wanting to simplify my life and make it more about God and less about me. Then this song came through my headphones and blew me away.
It’s one of those amazing tunes that would never get radio airplay (because it’s a slower tempo song) but whose lyrics and melody (and in this case, production) will make you want to play it over and over. And whose words I would love to call my own, if I were brave enough.
Without further ado, here is Take Everything.
And if you enjoy this song from Joel, stay tuned for more from him this week, including the story behind Take Everything and a video performance of another of his songs. So, you might want to subscribe to our RSS feed and our Twitter account to stay in the know.

Rakes has a very original twist to his music. This can be seen on A Sudden Change in the Atmosphere, where he puts to use his full repertoire of instrumentation and his vocal capabilities. Some of his earlier lo-fi demos featuring just his guitar and vocals speak just as clearly and show his talent just as well as full-band studio recordings. Rakes has released free Christmas songs on his website in recent years. Check windows backup software for all songs tracks.
