I posted a video here a few days ago of a Nike commercial that we really liked. (Still do, in fact.) But, the song that we bought from the video—Ali in the Jungle – The Hours—needs to not be missed. (Just in case you did.) The song was picked up by Nike for use in…

It’s Not Where You’re From, It’s Where You’re At
Nike: The Human Chain I’m not 100% sure of the title of this commercial, but I saw it several times during the Olympics and really liked it. The commercial is very visually creative (and cool) and I like the song. Especially the line, “It’s not where you’re from, it’s where you’re at.” We just started…
Steven Curtis Chapman: This Moment
Also available as an MP3 Download ($9.49) Steven Curtis Chapman has always been one of my favorite songwriters. At least, “always” since I began listening to music that would be labeled “Christian” in my late teens. (Holy cow, that seems so long ago…) For whatever reason—for many reasons—his music and his lyrics really connect with…
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
We have been getting snow the last few days here, and last night it finally turned into “real” snow! (The kind that comes down in big, fluffy flakes and starts piling up on everything quickly!) And it looks like there’s more where that came from! I love snow! It just makes me smile, and even…
Serious Discussions
After seeing her Mom crying while listening to the Beauty Will Rise album in the van yesterday, Kirstie seemed to be the most affected by the story of a five year old girl going to heaven. (Perhaps because she is also five years old herself?) She told me about it when they got home, and…
Beauty Will Rise – Steven Curtis Chapman
As with pretty much every release of his, we purchased Steven Curtis Chapman‘s latest album, Beauty Will Rise, the day that it was first available to do so. We love his music, so there was no question we would purchase it at some point, but this project was different. On May 21st, 2008, the Chapmans…
Life Is You
So… it always happens this way… In the middle of intense busyness and while feeling quite burdened and overly stressed … a song was birthed. I really don’t do that much anymore. I can easily push them aside, the little lyrics and melodies and piano/guitar riffs. I have other stuff to do. And, well, I…
CDBaby.com Sells Music
I know that might sound funny, if you know anything about CDBaby.com… “Of COURSE they sell music… that’s what they DO!!” But, my point is: They really do. I was on their site today checking up on our account with them and not only is their site just magnificent in its usability (and now it’s…
[Song For The Day] Come As You Are
Come As You Are Purchase @ iTunes Song (at Amazon) | Album Come As You Are Today’s song – the final song in this 7-day celebration of the 7-year anniversary of the album – is the title track, Come As You Are. If you have been following along all week, you may see the reason…
[Song For The Day] You Love Me
Come As You Are Purchase @ iTunesSong | Album You Love MeToday’s song probably doesn’t get played very often. It’s not a “radio length” song. (It’s around six minutes long.) It’s near the end of the album, and we don’t do it that often when we perform live. But in our recent listen to the…
