Paramore Cover Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody"

Pretty cool cover of a great song.  

I Hate All Your Show

I heard this song for the first time at Catalyst when Jon Foreman performed it there.

Very powerful lyrics.

"Instead of a Show"

I hate all your show and pretense
the hypocrisy of your praise
the hypocrisy of your festivals
I hate all your show

Away with your noisy worship
Away with your noisy hymns
I stop up my ears when your
singing ‘em
I hate all your show

Instead let there be a flood
of justice
An endless procession of righteous
living, living
Instead let there be a flood
of justice
Instead of a show

your eyes are closed when you’re praying
you sing right along with the band
you shine up your shoes for services
but there’s blood on your hands

you turned your back on the homeless
and the ones that don’t fit in your plans
quit playing religion games
there’s blood on your hands

Ah! let’s argue this out
if your sins are blood red
let’s argue this out
you’ll be white as the clouds
let’s argue this out
quit fooling around

give love to the ones who can’t love at all
give hope to the ones who got no hope at all
stand up for the ones who can’t stand up at all
instead of a show
I hate all your show

Go buy it on iTunes

The Intro At North Point on Sunday!

Yesterday morning I was at Andy Stanley's church in Atlanta (North Point).  This video is the intro they did for service.  Here is a link to some better footage of the same song intro they did at Buckhead a few months back.

Anberlin - New Surrender

Anberlin latest cd, New Surrender, came out on Tuesday.  I was late on the Anberlin bandwagon and happened to stumble upon them when their previous cd came in a Relevant Box a little over a year ago.  I have listened to the cd a few times now and can officially give it two thumbs up...and one pinky (like when you drink tea at a tea party).  I really like Stephen Christian's songwriting and he has one of those voices that is instantly recognizable.  If you have never had a chance to check out Anberlin go to iTunes and give them a shot at winning you over as a fan.

 If you enjoy John Denver, like to Pop & Lock to Usher or if you have ever wished that Zach Efron would make a pop cd.....you will love Anberlin! 

                          * Personal opinion *
          Best song on the new album is The Resistance. 

 

I Love the 80's!

Any Music Video with a cardboard cut out of Steve Guttenberg is one worth enjoying again.  This priceless gem has lasted the test of time!

Can you name the "blockbuster" movie this is from?
