Amanda Danziger - Be Still (CCM)



Amanda Danziger - Be Still
Amanda Danziger has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called 'Be Still'.

This was part of a larger project that Amanda worked on last year. She released one song per season, and this song represents Fall, completing the entire project in her 'Seasons' EP. Amanda wrote it, and her great friend Filipe Michael composed it. At the heart of it all is collaboration.

This project is distinct in that it is not a typical worship album; instead, it was created to emulate cinematic soundscapes, which Danziger refers to as devotional worship.

'Devotional worship is a place of listening and stillness,' explains Danziger. 'It doesn’t sound like corporate worship or an anthem you sing in church. It’s made to be a spiritual experience in your devotional time with the Lord.'

Each song begins with a distinct sound that conveys that season. 'Vindicate' begins with the pounding of a winter storm. 'Prison Walls' begins with rain and thunder, and 'Refining Fire' begins with the crackling of a summer campfire. 'Be Still' begins with the sound of walking through the woods on a leaf-strewn path.

'Each song is approached in a cinematic style that paints a musical picture of the season,' Danziger shares.

Story Behind the EP:


Danziger drew the musical outline for each song and relied on producer and co-writer Filipe Michael to fill in the colors.

'While the songs are my melodies, lyrics, prayers, and my heart, Filipe composed the soundtrack of the entire album. This gave him the ability to think outside the box when it came to composing. He only had stems of my vocals to work with to create the sounds in this album,' she continues.

'I’ve really been looking forward to sharing this project with you. Written over the course of the seasons—each song was released in its season with my co-writer, Filipe Michael who composed the tracks. Seasons features the fall track plus a bonus instrumental. As an independent artist, I sincerely thank you ahead of time for your support. If you’re interested in collaborating in any way as the project releases, please don’t hesitate to connect back.'

"Lord You Are So Awesome" by Mario Tucker: Turning Everyday Moments into Praise

“Lord You Are So Awesome” by Mario Tucker is a reminder that worship doesn’t have to be complicated in order to be powerful. The song is based on the fact that what matters the most is that God’s greatness deserves our constant praise. Our praise doesn't have to meet any quality standards for it to be pleasing to God. So, ask yourself... when was the last time that you took a moment to say, “Lord you are so awesome / Lord you are so great / Your name is above the Heavens”? This song invites you to be constantly aware of God’s greatness, and that includes awareness outside the walls of church, like during car rides, your quiet time, and those precious triumphs in life. It's an awareness that leads to response. “So let’s praise and magnify your name.” Praise is not a matter of passively observing and responding... it’s a call to turn your admiration into active devotion. Think about it for a moment: what would change in your life if praise became your first reaction instead of ...

"Repentance (20th Anniversary Edition)" by Thoughts and Notions: Remembering Christ’s Love Through Repentance

Thoughts And Notions released a 20th Anniversary Edition of their song "Repentance," emphasizing that the weight and purpose of this message is still very relevant to us today.  The song was originally inspired by The Passion of the Christ and shaped by the songwriter's memory of seeing a lone cross high above the Swiss Alps. The key message is less about performance and more about our response. It places us at the foot of the cross. When you listen to the lyrics, you'll notice that it is a prayer in song form, and one that looks straight at Christ's suffering. It asks you to reflect on the question: "what will you do with such love?"   The lyrics begin with awe: "I looked at your bloodied face" and "you laid down your life." From there, the lyrics move into an honest confession. "God, how I've been such a fool" isn't despair or an excuse to stay trapped in guilt. It is the first step toward His grace, a journey o...

"At The Feet (Midnight)" by Action Worship: Surrender and Rest

(by Jasper Tan) After making a review of Action Worship's song "All Praise (Dawn)" early this year (which, by the way, moved me so much), Action Worship is here once more with a beautiful follow-up single called "At The Feet (Midnight)." Continuing their songwriting sessions at a beach house retreat, "At The Feet" is a powerful and once more immersive Christian contemporary worship song that captures a raw and intimate atmosphere of worship. Like their other previously released songs, the track is anchored in a "Beach House" setting, leaning on a warm, organic, and slightly lo-fi feel as compared to the more traditional stadium worship recordings of other Worship songs. This makes the song feel more like a shared spiritual experience rather than a polished studio recording. This has always been Action Worship's greatest strength with their songs. And this creative process has definitely defined the signature sound of the Action Worship te...
