Kristian Stanfill – ‘Attention’ EP

February 2, 2009, by Zack No comments yet

Looking for some good, new music?

Check out Kristian Stanfill’s new EP, ‘Attention’.

I downloaded it last week and I’m liking it a lot! Very worshipful lyrics with pretty cool, original music to boot.

I have no doubt that we’ll be singing some of these songs in church before long.

You can preview each song and purchase a download of the whole album from Amazon for less than five bucks here.

2008: Album of the year

January 12, 2009, by Zack No comments yet

So, still haven’t quite found the time to finish our new years blog post. But a track from ‘Singalong‘, by Phil Wickham just came up, and it literally changed my attitude.

‘Singalong’ is by far my favorite album of 2008, and the best part is that it’s completely free!

If you haven’t made the 5 minutes to go download it and check it out, what are you waiting for?

What was your favorite album of 2008?

Top 10 Ways To Write a Bad Worship Song

October 22, 2008, by Zack 1 comment

Check out this post over at WorshipMatters. It’s pretty funny and very worthwhile.

I especially like #6:

6. Make sure the majority of your songs talk about what we do and feel rather than who God is and what he’s done.
Why clutter up our songs with clear, specific, and compelling descriptions of God’s character and works? Why not just emote and talk about how passionate we are? Because an emotional fire that has no doctrinal fuel dies about pretty quickly or ends up trying to feed on itself.

What is one worship song that you LOVE to sing? What is one worship song that drives you crazy?

For me, a worship song that I LOVE to sing is “From The Inside Out” by Hillsong United. We still don’t sing it at our church fellowship, which is beyond me, but it’s been on my iPod for at least 2 years and I still love it because it almost forces me to come alive with worshipful thoughts about God.

A worship song that I struggle with is “Above All”. Musically, it’s beautiful. And I believe that Michael W. Smith had pure desires when he wrote it. But to me, that song is depressing, and theologically incorrect. I’ll stop there, because everyone else I know really likes that song, and I don’t want to step on your toes. If you love that song, then more power to you!

Alright, so let’s have yours…
