music galore!

music monday anyone? i thought you might like one.

Kutless is a pretty neat band. they’re a rock group that came together about 8 years ago in Portland, Oregon. Hearts of the Innocent is an amazing cd. My favorite songs off of that cd are probably Million Dollar Man & Hearts of the Innocent. I saw them in concert with my youth group while we were in Gatlinburg for a Strength to Stand Conference. They’re pretty good performers too.

BigStuf Band. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to actually count them or not…but what the heck why not? You have heard me go on & on about BigStuf if you’ve read much of my blog. (Going on in the best possible way of course) I can’t help it though I’m so in love with BigStuf & everything it provides. I’ve come to know God on a much closer personal relationship because of this camp & have been pushed to the limits here. Not to mention that the band still to this day, having heard them for five years now, brings tears to my eyes. So many memories with this band. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve laughed & cried some more. Anyways, you can’t get all their amazing cd’s on iTunes, but  you can get them from the BigStuf Storehowever, you can get a couple from the iTunes store. I do highly recommend them. They’re a great band with a great message & their performing abilities are significant & their hearts for God are very visible. Even better, I’ve been able to meet some of them & they seem very down to Earth and sweet. Some of them include: Kristian Stanfill, James David Carter, Ben Snider, Steve Fee, Chrystina Lloree Fincher, Casey Darnell, (Chris Coleman has been featured), Neil, Slug, Davis Harwell, ect.

Now I’d like to direct your attention to a song & not necessarily a band. I’m not going to lie to you, I’m pretty sure I only have one song by the band Point of Grace. But I like what I hear. Especially the song that I do have. It’s called How You Live. It’s got a great inspiring message. Everyone should listen to it. It makes me wanna cry every time I hear it.

midweek pick me up

well, i know i know, i havent posted, & i missed “music monday” but this week has been CRAZY!! soccer has been right & left, not necessarily bad, just keeps me busy & on my toes. so i’ll do a “midweek-music stop.” kind of a catchy sound? okay..maybe not.

casting crowns, i’m sure almost everyone has heard of casting crowns if you haven’t heard a song by them. what if his people prayed is what i’m listening to right now, fantastic song i’m pretty sure that “WHAT IF THE FAMILY TURNED TO JESUS STOPPED OPRAH WHAT TO DO!” is my favorite line…ever. it just makes me laugh, because its true..think about it. ………okay now that youre done thinking. my favorite song ever is probably slow fade & its such a true song & its just so heartbreaking to think about. i can think of so many examples that fit the lines of the songs, & its just sad to think about. but its us that need to bring them back. & voice of truth, which i just learned how to  play on the piano fairly recently. i’ve been fortunate enough to get to see casting crowns in concert, oh what a thrill, it was a great night!! (&  what are the odds i’m wearing a shirt that i got from that concert..? :))

relient k. so i’m pretty sure everyone has heard of them too. but they just have a way of brightening my day with their witty lyrics & sweet tunes. not to mention that i might get to go see them in concert with ff5 & tobymac in decmember 🙂 well..my favorite song just might be in love with the 80s, or mood rings.. its a toss up. but theyre amazing..check them out. not much else to say.

kristian stanfill, i’ve seen him perform so many times i cant even count them with my fingers & toes. & being the lucky kiddo i am, i got to meet him a couple years back & he was just very down-to-earth & nice. a different world cd, which i’m thinking you can’t get anymore? is my favorite, mainly songs he wrote in college. my favorite song would have to be close behind its just very witty & just..i dont know, you’d have to listen to it to understand. but he just has an amazing voice & yep, check him out at www.myspace.com/kristianstanfill or www.kristianstanfill.wordpress.com 🙂

until next time, peace out
