ELEVATION RHYTHM, Joe L Barnes - SIMPLE (feat. Joe L Barnes) (CCM)


ELEVATION RHYTHM, Joe L Barnes has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called SIMPLE (feat. Joe L Barnes).

Here are the lyrics to this song: 

Lyrics:

When I was just a kid
I dreamed about the life I’d live
Buy fancy cars and a new crib
And cruise around with all my friends
I’ve been waking up
And realizing all those things
They look so different through a screen
That type of life ain’t what it seems
Isn't what it seems

The designer bags are not all bad
But I’ll never find my worth in that

I 
Don’t need
A Bunch a money, clothes and diamond rings
To be 
Happy
All the best things in life are free
Give me the simple things

People might say
There’s a game you gotta play
Just play along and you’ll get paid
But I refuse to be a slave
I’m just gonna be me
Love all the weird things on my skin
My crooked smile my lazy grin
I’m throwing caution to the wind

Cause what’s popular don’t always last
So I’m okay with being the outcast

Joshua Holiday, Davide Mutendji, Joe L Barnes, Chelsea Plank
CCLI: # 7175274

Today, in part 1, we focus on the foundation needed to build a larger audience/fanbase, where to focus, and your place in a bigger picture. Next week, in part 2, we will focus on your online hub, ways to attract more visitors to your online hub, and being more than a musician.   Why do some Christian artists have millions of monthly streams on the streaming platforms, while other great artists struggle to get more than a few thousand monthly streams? Many Christian Artists struggle to reach new listeners. Marketing music was never easy, but quite a few artists (and even agents/distributors) are not using all of the possibilities that are already available. What saddens me is that many Christian artists only scratch the surface of their music marketing possibilities. DIY-platforms, such...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...
