More Precious to Me than My Own represents the labor of almost a decade of creative efforts by Mark Smythe along with many brilliant collaborators. Fan-favorites like Hazel Eyes and Space Monkey speak to the heartâs constant struggle of seeking fulfillment in anotherâbasically romantic love songs presented in pop-rock wrapping paper. Acoustic tracks, like Forever Your Man and Hail Holy Queen, aim to express heavenly devotion and love to Jesus through Mary. All told, the fifteen tracks included in this compilation album range from overtly religious, Catholic hymns to hard-rocking, Alternative songs reminiscent of late â90âs/early â00âs radio station mixes. The choice to collect these songs and reoffer them to the public reflects a departure that Mark has made in his personal life. Beyond just his work as an artist, he is now an educator at an amazing Catholic school that truly lives out Christian stewardship and as such he has decided that ALL of the profits from the sale of More Precious to Me than My Own will benefit a rural school in Uganda, Africa. Mark has finally succumbed to the true desires of his heart â teaching truth to others by endeavoring to live the Gospel. This includes making heartfelt music that communicates love in truth and also returns to God the musical gifts He has given. So, after many years of hammering out live performances, soulful songwriting, and the release of three albums with his Orlando-based, Alternative Rock group, OPEN, Mark Smythe has not tired of composing and recording music. No, instead, he has embraced his musical roots in liturgical music and will continue to release more musical offerings as he discovers them. Work on In the Worldâ¦But Not of It, a double-album of 25+ tracks of new original material, is currently underwayâ¦
