Music is my life. Everything can be expressed, handled or just felt more deeply with the right chord or phrase. I have been blessed with some amazing friends and am still at that point where my life is an open book. If you’d like, stick around for a bit and help me write a few chapters…They Say That Love Can Heal The Broken
April 17th, 2008Music is music, no matter the genre… instruments… or message, and every once in a long while an album comes around that changes everything you had previously thought or known. Highly regarded as one of the most influential Contemporary Christian music
albums, Jars of Clay’s 1995 self-titled album broke through the stereotypical boundaries of ‘church music’ and, along with DC Talk’s Jesus Freak and Steven Curtis Chapman’s The Great Adventure, paved the way for CCM as its known today. What started off as just a ‘class project’ for a group of four college seniors became sixty-five platinum minutes that captured a music-loving generation of believers. Looped drums, acoustic guitars, and strings served as the backdrop for this musical poetry. Every van ride, church camp, or youth event in the 90s was playing this album on heavy-rotation, and most of us grown-up ‘church kids’ still stop and sing-a-long whenever we dust it off and give it a spin. So if this is one of your favorites, take a minute and relive the first time you heard “Worlds Apart”, and if you’ve never heard this “God rock” before, give the music a chance. It just might surprise you.
