So a few years back Chauntelle DuPree from Eisley got together at a writing workshop with Zac Hanson and Jon Crosby from VAST to write/record. I'm not really sure the intricacies of it all, but from it came one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Chauntelle stopped singing for Eisley a while ago (some say citing a lack of confidence), which is an absolute shame when you hear her voice. Last I saw her, she was stage right, playing guitar with no microphone in front of her singing her heart out. Anyway, the song they came out of that moment is called "One More Day", somehow that recording found it's way to me shortly thereafter and ever since it has touched me in ways few songs can.

Recently (read: last year, cause I'm apparently not on the VAST mailing list) Jon and VAST recorded "One More Day" for their latest album "April".

I'm still partial to the "demo" version with Chauntelle singing, but both of them are absolute treasures. I tend to think this song would be the most romantic thing ever, if it weren't so depressing.
