Philip you create music of such longing, insatiable longing. Like a deep hole in the soul that never gets filled. It's almost heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. Wow!

Um hi...
well... first of all, sorry for my english... but I hope, you will understand the
text, wich you will read now...
ehm...I have to say thank you... you and your amazing music... ( I know, its not
really in your interest to know that all... but... I just want to let you know, how
important your music still for me is...)
At the moment, I have a lot of bad luck... nah' its christmas time, so its not
really a special new :D but... to begin of the next year, or earlier, maybe a friend
will die an cancer...
I don't let him really know, that I am still crying when I am think about the
checkless future... and I want to be very often alone with my mind on this... and so
horrible thats are... your music gift me the power to stand up, and to enjoy the
last maybe days with him... without crying and with a smile.
Nah - there was a lot of situations, in this year and befor, where I felt me sick..
but... your music, helped me to fight, and to stand up... to sleep... and to wake
up.
So...(I hope thats not to stupit...) well...
Mr. Wesley - God bless you.
I hope, everyone will hearing your music, one day... because, every song, every
melody and every chord, is a part from your heart, I think... its amazing, and no
words of poetry could describe them.
Thank you a lot...
And - befor I forgett -
Merry Christmas :)
Your Fan,
Larissa, Germany.

I just want to say how much of a fan of your music I am. I have been playing piano
ever since I was 7-8 and I have never heard any music that even comes close to how
beautiful yours sounds. Thanks for all you do!

Hi Philip,
Thanks to you and the other three guys who shared a stage with you, my sister and I had a most wonderful, insipiring weekend!
Yes, I'm the one who almost got to enjoy your music at my son's wedding in St. Louis last year. My sister and I have been on your mailing list since then and bought almost the first tickets sold for your concert the other night (#13-14). We've been anticipating this "sister trip" for a long time and it was an amazing evening. (She drove from Theodosia, MO a day ahead to meet me in St. Louis and we drove down together)
My one regret was that I did not get a chance to talk with you (a quick sentence across the "retail" table from across two people to the left doesn't really count) because I truly appreciate your gift of music that you share and simply wanted to sincerely thank you for your willingness to come play, even though it didn't work out at the time.
I love each of your CDs and will continue to be a fan. Whispering Pianos is a great concept and I enjoyed being introduced to the other artists there, also. (Already a David Lanz, fan, of course, too, but honestly for my sister and I, you were the main attraction that night. He and the others were a wonderful bonus.)
Hopefully, we'll see you again at one of these events. The intimate atmosphere made it that much more of a special event!
All the best to you and yours... thanks for enriching my life with your music!

Hi Philip.
I discovered your music some days ago by chance and I like it very much. "The
Approching Night" is my favourite one so far.
But there is no sheet music of it available by now.
My question: Do you intent to make it downloadable on your homepage or is there any
other possibility to get sheet music of it (songbook or something)?
Kind regards from Germany.
Dominik
Simply incredible
September 10, 2009
Dark Night of the Soul is an amazing album. All the pieces are absolutley beautiful. They are all so dark and mysterious, sounding full as opposed to delicate, and with heavy use of the lower end of the piano. My total favorite is 'Darkness Falls' which I'm currently learning to play, though I recommend to anyone to purchase the album in its entirety. Philip Wesley's best so far!

Hey I found you on Pandora after making a station based on Yurima. As I started rating songs to build my station, I kept noticing that I had a fair number of your songs with a thumbs up. I will definitely buy dark night of the soul, and if you are ever in Wichita, KS I will be there too.

Hi Philip,
today I heard one of your songs on youtube for the first time (Wings to freedom). It
was beautiful.
I was sitting in the garden and was working on my diploma thesis, quite stressed and
not in a good mood at all. When I heard this song, I took a break and looked around.
Suddenly everything was beautiful. The wind gently weeping through the trees, the
sun warming my skin, the birds were singing, the bees were buzzing, the neighbours'
children laughing. All these things happened minutes before as well but I just
didn't notice them. And then your song suddenly made me aware of how beautiful this
day was. And that we should enjoy and notice these little things a little more often
in life.
Thanks and greetings from Germany,
Markus

Hi Philip,
I don't know if you remember me, but I sat next to you on the plane to Sea-Tac back in March. How did your concert go? I visited your site when I got back to school, and I haven't gotten the chance to comment until now. I love your music; it's very relaxing and helps me study. When I got the chance, I introduced my suitemates to it. Now when I study with them we listen to your music. It's amazing. I'm really glad I got the chance to meet you, and I look forward to listening to what you create next. :o)
Your fan in Tacoma.

Hi. I was just surfing iTunes Classical radio streams and I happened to stumble
upon a channel (don't know which) but it was playing something by you called
"Tabatha's Song." I have to say, I was really moved. I've just been listening to
some of Beethoven's piano sonatas played by Alfred Brendel and I couldn't help but
be connected by the emotional impact of your work. So I have to ask, who is Tabatha?
Because after hearing that music, I have to know. It's interesting, you compare
yourself to a lot of modern piano composers I've never heard of. But to me, your
work strikes the same emotions that Beethoven and Schubert lived in.
Best regards,
a new fan

Mission accomplished :)
That is a great story. I often hear this from parents about their children.
I've also heard from special ed teachers who use it in the classroom for their Autistic children. It does wonders to calm them. I'm glad that something I created has such a positive and profound impact on people.

Philip,
Thanks for the information. I am definitely interested. We (me and my boys) have loved the music CD's I bought
last year -- in fact, my 3 year old requests to hear your CD when we are driving in the car and he is tired. It is so
mellow and relaxing, he always falls asleep!
You're very talented! I look forward to hearing more of your music.

Thanks for the music. I remember seeing your performance at Fairview Heights' Borders store a couple years ago and being really impressed. I got a copy of Lamentations of the Heart for my brother and he performed it in front of over 200 people the next summer. (He leaves this summer for college as an aspiring musician.) Thank you for the newsletter update--I look forward to hearing more about upcoming concerts, sheet music, and CD sales.

Today Monday 21 of April I have not words, and the emotion has filled of tears my
eyes when I have listened to "Away In A Manger".
Your music has remembered to me aromas of white holidays with my grandparents. My
more sincere congratulations, your music has something very special, I do not know
to say it!

Dear Mr. Wesley,
Firstly, sorry for my English is very poor.
I am a fan to the piano from the 8 years and now with my 25 years I continue
touching and composing.
I have listened to your theme "Lovés Last Embrace" in "Sky FM" It is great!!!!.
Here in Spain does not sell your discs, then, I have sent myself to buy them in
Amazon. I have acquired the three:
"Finding Solace"
"In A Lifetime"
"Comfort And Joy"
And I shortly hope to be able to also buy "Dark Night Of The Soul".
I thank for all my afternoons to you of tranquillity that you have offered me,
Kindly, Alejandro,your fan from Seville, Spain.

Just heard We Three Kings on Got Radio.com and fell in love with it. I purchased
your Comfort and Joy from CD Baby. Both my sons are aspiring piano artists studying
the Suzuki Method in Florida. Do you have sheet music available for the Comfort and
Joy album?
I will let all my friends and family know about your music and encourage them to
visit your web site. Best of luck to you in your career.

I am really enjoying your music now that I discovered you (through Napster) but I
was wondering if you had any other sheet music available for your Christmas music
other than the "O Christmas Tree" available on this site. I appreciate the simple,
contemplative style and would love to recreate some of the recordings on your
"Comfort and Joy" Christmas CD on my own piano for our family Christmas gathering.
Would you/have you considered selling any additional scores? Thanks,
A lazy musician,

As you can probably tell, I've also turned my guestbook into a blog spot. So feel free to continue adding your comments, and I'll continue to post here as well.
I had a few performances in Nashville that were a lot of fun to be involved with. One was the VPH concert on 11/15/07 and the other was the Luton Society Dinner at Cheekwood Gardens on 11/16/07. Thank you to Dr. Myung Lee and Dr. Stephan Heckers for their support of my music at these Vanderbilt events.
I also want to thank Musicians on Call,(a non for profit organization that brings the healing power of music to hospital patients)for recognizing me and my music as a valuable asset to their wonderful program.
These were the first real public appearances I've made since moving to Nashville in 2006/2007. It feels really good to start performing again. I'm in the process of finishing up a new CD and I'll continue to make more appearances in Nashville as I get to know the city a bit more. Everyone here plays guitar and sings so it is interesting to see how my music stands out here, especially in a live performance setting.
Philip
Thought for today
November 8, 2007
Everything in life is not logical, but we can enjoy the moment anyway. Lord, help me become spontaneous to the dreams that pass by.
Thursday, November 8, 2007
See the bright future
What has happened before has brought you to where you are. Yet the past has no control over where you can go from here.
Your past history does not create your future. The choices you make right now are what create the substance of that future.
Learn from your mistakes, but do not agonize over them. There is nothing you can do to change the fact that they happened, yet there is much you can do to move positively beyond them.
When you dwell on the past it holds you prisoner. When you let it go, that allows you to go anywhere you now choose.
People change, circumstances change, and you can change too. With each moment comes the opportunity to shake off the old assumptions and limitations, to give new purpose and meaning to life.
Give new energy, new effort, new commitment and determination to this day that you have the good fortune to be living. See the bright future that can be, and you will make it so.

It's been a bad day
You've been looking back
And all you can see is everything you wish you could take back
All your mistakes
A world of regrets
All of those moments you would rather forget
I know it's hard to believe Let me refresh your memory
Yesterday is history And history is miles away
So, leave it all behind you
But let it always remind you of the day
The day that love made history
You know you can't stay right where you fell
The hardest part is forgiving yourself
But let's take a walk into today
And don't let your past get in the way
Would you believe that you are history in the making, in the making?
Every choice that you are making
Every step that you are taking
Every chain that you are breaking
History is in the making
Every word that you are saying
Every prayer that you are praying
Every chain that you are breaking
History is in the making
History is in the making
History is in the making

Cry Out
July 31, 2007
To everyone who's lost someone they love
long before it was their time.
You feel like the days you had were not enough
when you said goodbye.
And to all of the people with burdens and pains
keepin' you back from your life.
You believe that there's nothing
and there is no one who can make it right.
There is hope for the helpless, rest for the weary,
and love for the broken hearts.
There is grace and forgiveness, mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are.
Cry out to Jesus. Cry out to Jesus.
For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on
have lost all of their faith in love.
and they've done all they can to make it right again
still it's not enough.
For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains
you try to give up but you come back again.
Just remember that you're not alone
in your shame and your suffering.
There is hope for the helpless, rest for the weary,
and love for the broken hearts.
There is grace and forgiveness, mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are.
Cry out to Jesus.
When you're lonely and it feels like the whole world is falling on you
you just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus
Cry to Jesus.
To the widow who suffers from being alone,
wipin' the tears from her eyes.
For the children around the world without a home,
say a prayer tonight.
There is hope for the helpless, rest for the weary,
and love for the broken hearts.
There is grace and forgiveness, mercy and healing
that meets you wherever you are.
There is hope for the helpless, rest for the weary,
and love for the broken hearts.
There is grace and forgiveness, mercy and healing
that meets you wherever you are.
Cry out to Jesus. Cry out to Jesus.
Cry out to Jesus. Cry out to Jesus.
What is Happiness?
July 28, 2007
Happy people focus more on what they have and less on what they don't have; in addition, they more frequently practice appreciation for the good things in life and are less likely to take simple pleasures and benefits for granted.
Gratitude is undoubtedly an important component of happiness...but it's not just about being thankful for good things, it's also about the way you think even when things don't seem to be going right.
When the work is piled high on your desk, think about how thankful you are to even have a job while so many are unemployed. When work is driving you crazy, think about the fact you are healthy enough to work. When you are sitting in traffic, be thankful you can drive a car while so many have to walk miles just to get clean water. When the restaurant messes up your meal, think about how many unfed mouths there are in the world.
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others. - Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC),
Gratitude is the most exquisite form of courtesy. Jacques Maritain (1882 - 1973)
Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well. - Voltaire (1694 - 1778)
Practice gratitude - every night before you go to bed, or every morning as you wake and start the day (or both!):
list (preferably in writing) 3-5 things in your life for which you're grateful
reflect on 3-5 aspects of your life for which you're grateful
meditate on anything and everything in the world you believe deserves to be appeciated.
there is a route to genuine and enduring happiness, but it flies in the face of much that is our greedy, self-obsessed culture. It's called generosity, and it involves freely giving of our four most valuable resources - time, talents, treasure and touch. In return, we'll receive unimaginable "riches".
In recent years, many scientists have begun examining the links between religion and good health, both physical and mental. Now two psychologists are working to unlock the puzzle of how faith might promote happiness. Dr. Michael McCollough, of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, and Dr. Robert Emmons, of the University of California at Davis, say their initial scientific study indicates that gratitude plays a significant role in a person's sense of well-being.
From Cicero to Buddha, many philosophers and spiritual teachers have celebrated gratitude. The world's major religions, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Hindu, prize gratitude as a morally beneficial emotional state that encourages reciprocal kindness. Pastors, priests, parents and grandparents have long extolled the virtues of gratitude, but until recently, scholars have largely ignored it as a subject of scientific inquiry.
McCollough and Emmons were curious about why people involved in their faith seem to have more happiness and a greater sense of well-being than those who aren't and decided to study the connections. After making initial observations and compiling all the previous research on gratitude, they conducted the Research Project on Gratitude and Thanksgiving. The study required several hundred people in three different groups to keep daily diaries. The first group kept a diary of the events that occurred during the day, while the second group recorded their unpleasant experiences. The last group made a daily list of things for which they were grateful.
The results of the study indicated that daily gratitude exercises resulted in higher reported levels of alertness, enthusiasm, determination, optimism and energy. Additionally, the gratitude group experienced less depression and stress, was more likely to help others, exercised more regularly and made more progress toward personal goals. According to the findings, people who feel grateful are also more likely to feel loved. McCollough and Emmons also noted that gratitude encouraged a positive cycle of reciprocal kindness among people since one act of gratitude encourages another.
McCullough says these results also seem to show that gratitude works independently of faith. Though gratitude is a substantial part of most religions, he says the benefits extend to the general population, regardless of faith or lack thereof. In light of his research, McCullough suggests that anyone can increase their sense of well-being and create positive social effects just from counting their blessings.

Praise you in the Storm
June 28, 2007
I was sure by now,God, that You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.
And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away
I lift my eyes unto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes unto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
Pusuit of Passion
June 20, 2007
I was wondering if you had sheet music available for Pursuit of Passion? That has
quickly become on of my favorite piano selections to listen to. I would love to get
a hold of a copy of the sheet music for it. Is that possible? If so, where do I go
to purchase it?
Thanks so much.
If You Want Me To
June 13, 2007
The pathway is broken
The signs are unclear
I can't find the reason why You led me here
But just because You love me the way that You do
I will go through the valley
If You want me to
Now I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet
And if all of these trials can make me like You
I will go through the fire
If You want me to
It may not be the way I would have chosen
'Cause it leads me through a world that's not my home
But You never said it would be easy
Only that I'll never go alone
When the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear You answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through
And I will go through the valley
If You want me to

I'm writing a piece for a recital and found your music very inspiring.
Love this song
June 6, 2007
Have you been walking on a surface that’s uncertain
Have you helped yourself to everything that’s empty
You can’t live,
This way too long,
There’s more than this,
More than this
Have you been standing on your own feet too long
Have you been looking for a place where you belong
You can rest,
You will find rest
Let this old life crumble,
Let it fade,
Let this new life offered be your saving grace,
Let this old life crumble let it fade,
Let it fade
Have you been holding on to what this world has offered
Have you been giving in to all these masquerades it will be gone,
It will be gone
Are you carrying the weight too much,
Are you running from the call
'2 Corinthians 5:17 says, ” Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come.” This is a song for anyone that is trying to hold on to the cares of this world. Unless we realize that through Christ we have all that we need, we’ll never understand the true grace and peace that He offers. Know that when you give your heart to Jesus, the past has been forgiven and we have been given the fullness of new life.

Hello Philip,
Do you intend to transcribe your version of Carol ofthe Bells? Its probably one of my favorite versions I've heard and
would love to have it in my repertoire for this coming holiday season.
I'm sure others would as well. Hope you had a great weekend.

We stand and lift up our hands
For the joy of the Lord is our strength
We bow down and worship Him now
How great, how awesome is He
And together we sing
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with His glory
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with His glory
The earth is filled with His glory
We stand and lift up our hands
For the joy of the Lord is our strength
We bow down and worship Him now
How great, how awesome is He
And together we sing
Everyone sing
It's rising up all around
It's the anthem of the Lord's renown
repeat
And together we sing,
everyone sing
In a Lifetime Fan
April 24, 2007
I purchased all three songs off your website. I enjoy them a lot! My
favorite cd of yours is "In A Lifetime" I especially like the songs: Pursuit of
Passion, Equstrian Dreams, Friends, and In the Eyes of a Child. I would love to
see any or all of these songs on sheet music! I'll be checking your website often,
so I can be the first to buy them when you get them out! THANKS A LOT!

I just wanted to say thank you for responding to my email. I really appreciate it.
I fell a week ago and broke my neck, and my wife bought me two of your CD's from
your website. To help me get through this tough time.
Sincerely yours,

I just purchased "Wings to Freedom" sheet music, and I have been playing it no-stop
for two days now! What a beautiful song! If and when you get any more sheet music
for sale I would love to get some more! THANKS!

I love listening to your music. It has such a way of soothing me, also, makes me wish I could play as well. Keep up the good work!

Phillip I listend to your music for the first time today. I recently started
learning again reading music after taking lessons as a Disabled kid that could do
nothing much else but play piano. Now still disabled and much older and again can
do nothing much else but play. I recently bought a piano and started playing again.
The One Love I never pursued but knew I should Have. In My Heart I know it would
have been my career as well as my love. I have played by ear all my life and always
wrote my own music, sadly never writing it down. I heard one of your pieces and it
is so simmiliar to what I have written it is almost scary. Your style is exactly
like my own. I Just had to write you and tell you. Love your music and I will have
to write a different song or everyone will say I copied you. Wrtie me sometime I
would like that.

Philip
I would like to ask you if it is possible to buy the sheet for "In a lifetime" or
"State of Grace"?
I will soon buy your CD (In a lifetime), because I like your music very much !
I come from Denmark, and I started to play piano a couple of years ago. I really
hope that it is possible to buy the sheets, because it would be so nice to play your
beautiful music myself.
Thank you in advance.

I heard you say you would love for a lifetime.
Now you complain a lifetime just doesn't feel right for you.
Another casualty of casual love.
Another soul out of place, a heart that gave up.
Why do we break the promises we make?
Are we living for ourselves?
Don't give up on love and throw it all away.
Don't give up on love and let it fall away.
When did it become so easy to run from your pain?
Don't give up on love and throw it all away.
I heard you say you can't change a stubborn heart.
I can relate 'cause that's how I feel when I talk with you.
Why should it take losing everything
to realize it might be time to change?
Your restless heart won't win 'cause you take but you don't give.
And you'll keep moving on until you learn what love is.
Don't throw it all away, don't give up, don't give in.

It hasn’t always been this way
I’ve remember brighter days
Before the dark ones came
Stole my mind
Wrapped my soul in chains
Now I live among the dead
Fighting voices in my head
Hoping someone hears me crying in the night
And carries me away
Set me free of the chains holding me
Is anybody out there hearing me?
Set me free
Morning breaks another day
Finds me crying in the rain
All alone with my demons I am
Who is this man that comes my way?
The dark ones shriek
They scream His name
Is this the One they say will set the captives free?
Jesus, rescue me
As the God man passes by
He looks straight through my eyes
And darkness cannot hide
Do you want to be free?
Lift your chains
I hold the key
All power on Heaven and earth belong to me
You are free
You are free
You are free

I'm a senior at La Salle Academy and I was talking to my teacher after
school one day. He had the computer on and this site called gotradio.com
was playing your christmas song "Wishing for Home" and I fell in love
with it. I have played the piano for 11 years, and I don't think I have
ever found a song that I loved so much. Thanks for inspiring me!

Philip, I love your music. Since I won't be able to hear it just about everyday, I guess I have to buy your CDs, huh? :-) Take care and God bless in all your endeavors.

With each keystroke, Wesley draws us close and gradually reveals the intimate experiences of his heart. Be it beauty, anguish, joy, or longing - we find sanctuary there in his musical embrace and comfort in the familiarity of emotion with which his songs are infused. I look forward with great anticipation to Wesley's next CD as it is always a privilege to be allowed into his inner realm.

Hello Philip. My girlfriend Lisa is a big fan of your music (she listened to the same 30 second clip over and over!). I'm buying her two of your CDs for her birthday on August 28th. I was wondering if you could send me a short letter wishing her a happy birthday that I could give her with your CDs? I think she'd be really thrilled to receive something like that. I know you're probably really busy; but, I would really appreciate it.
