LDS Music World presents the music of LDS artist
Aaron Edson
"Show
Him" was inspired by President Hinckley's address to the youth
of the church about the "6 Be's" that we must live in order
to overcome the trials we have today. The lyrics recount many of the
main themes of the talk, from the point of view of a listener whose
life was touched by it. Because of the power and scope of the Prophet's
message, "Show Him" is intended to further engrave the message
of the address into the hearts of those who listen that the trials we
as youth face today are the most easily overcome in all of recent history,
if we simply learn and live certain guidelines.
Born in Michigan and raised in Wisconsin, Aaron Edson has been a musician
all his life. He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Caracas, Venezuela. He attended Brigham Young University
before leaving to pursue a music career in Los Angeles. He is now a
professional music producer as well as a songwriter. His recording studio,
One South Studios, is located in Pasadena, California.

The title track is a pop/rock tune with a compelling arrangement and an almost post-modern feel that has earned Edson respect in the Los Angeles music industry. Its subject is a soul-searching individual whose prayers are answered by the Holy Ghost and whose "wondering" is set aside by an assurance that "He's there" (listen closely to the background vocals in the finale and fade out and you'll hear those words beautifully articulated by Brooke White, another LDS artist with a promising pop career ahead of her). The album also features a re-engineered version of "Show Him", a song popular among the youth of the church for its reminder of the prophet's "6 Be's" admonition (be grateful, smart, clean, true, humble and prayerful). The music throughout the album is extremely listenable, and though some of the tunes would not be appropriate for Sunday services, all are appropriate as a replacement for pop music with lyrics that frequently degrade or set aside the values of the church. If you have found yourself enjoying some of today's music on the radio, only to be disappointed in the messages conveyed, you are in for a treat with "Wondering". And who knows? As fresh and enjoyable as Edson's music is, don't be surprised if some of the songs do end up making it to the airwaves.

Aaron's debut CD, "Wondering", brings a fresh, new
sound to the world of contemporary LDS music. The album takes
the listener on a soul-searching journey, featuring a wide range
of pop feels over its 11 songs. The gospel messages never seem
heavy-handed or super-imposed over pop music. Rather, the songs
are organic expressions of life today as seen through the eyes
of a gifted, young LDS artist. Sample
