Lift Me Up -- The Afters
New song post!! :D This song is pretty special. I love the meaning for me in my life right now. So often we freak out about our circumstances. I could name a few just this year. All in one year I went through the end of a friendship/relationship, college let down last second, confusion over my future with jobs, increasing levels of back pain followed by...

"I Refuse" Josh Wilson
Ok first off…. LOVE THIS SONG. I’m going to post the lyrics. I know I don’t usually, but I’m going to try a little spin on what I’ve been doing. Let me know what you guys think!
This song was written because Josh Wilson wanted to do something to help with the flood that happened in 2010 in Nashville. A lot of people were just saying to only pray, but so...
scripturesketches asked: Hi Becky,
I honestly haven't done any "inspirational" reading in a long time. But there are a couple books that have helped grow my faith. Maybe I'll make a post about them sometime.
It was a long, crooked road that led me to Chile. At first I was going to be in the Air Force. I even went through basic training. But I was there mostly because I...

Dakota Green (2.3)
So I know a lot of you probably won’t know this guy… honestly I didn’t either. He added me on my twitter and so I listened to his music and figured I’d pass on some info to you guys about him. :)
You won’t know about him because he is an Independent signed artist. He got started with music because he was at a concert and fell in love with the idea that he...

Jake Hamilton- Freedom Calling (1.75 out of 5)
So I partly chose to review this for you guys because it was at the top of itunes, and partly because it’s kind of unique to what I’d consider typical Christian Contemporary Music.The album is filled with an interesting mix of more folk-ish songs and then harder rock. This guy even does some screaming. It’s kind of crazy. It kind of reminds me a little bit of Trans...

Dara Maclean
Dara has been releasing music as an independent artist since 2006, but something tells me that now that she is signed to Word Entertainment she’ll probably have a decent career ahead of her. Her voice reminds me of Francesca Battistelli but a bit more bright in its sound. Its very soulful with hints of jazzy playfulness. Which is somewhat weird to...

Anthem Lights 3.4 out of 5
Anthem Lights is a new Christian boy band. They have four members (from the left) Kyle Kupecky,Caleb Grimm, Alan Powell, Chad Graham. Their group started with Chad Graham. He was pursuing a music career and his friend Alan Powell teamed up with him one day to do some writing. In that time they realized that the music would be better with multiple voices. With that they added Kyle and...

Backstreets Back?
Ok.. so I know my blog is mostly about Christian music, but I couldn’t resist blogging on the return of Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block. Ok.. so these guys were super popular in the late 80’s and 90’s… and they’re trying to make a comeback. I saw them on Dancing with the Stars (yes I admit.. I watch that show) and couldn’t believe what I was hearing....

Arms that Hold the Universe
Ok so as I’ve been listening to the radio I’ve noticed there is a new cover out of ”Arms that Hold the Universe”. I’ve gotta say that I tend to be a loyalist with the original artist in most cases… accept maybe Chris Tomlin when he covered “God of this City”. But to be fair I’m gonna tell you guys about the pros and the cons of the original...

Love For Japan
If you guys like a good deal AND want to help Japan recover from the craziness that’s been going on down there… BUY THIS CD. It has 34 songs for $9.99 … yeah that’s an incredible price. Not only is it a good deal, but it has some of my favorite more worshippy artists like…

Jeremy Horn (3.25 out of 5)
Jeremy Horn is a newer artist in the music world. He has been freshly signed by Ardent Records and before that he lead worship at his church. This guy is pretty cool. He’s got a heart for the church and seeing true worship emerge from it. Part of that is the emphasis he puts on a lifestyle of praise, and not only an hour of singing on Sunday...
