Linnea Näslund has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called 'Take Me There'.
Linnea Näslund wrote this song in desperation for God's comfort and healing, as she struggles with chronic pain. Despite praying for healing for many years, she continues to trust in God, knowing that one day she will be free from pain. The song was also inspired by her grandma, who was suffering from Alzheimer's and approaching the end of her life. Näslund found comfort in the thought that her grandma would one day be free from pain and suffering, and that she would be with Jesus. Even as her grandma lost her speech and memory, she continued to praise and call out to her Savior. After Näslund's grandma passed away, the song helped her maintain hope and find comfort in the thought that her grandma was finally free from sickness and with Jesus. Through this song, Näslund hopes to share the message of Jesus with others and bring hope to believers in Christ.
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...
Ever feel like life's a bit… frosty? Or that you're longing for something more profound and meaningful in life? Robert Peterson and The Crusade connect with that feeling. In their second release, "Change Coming On," they explore the search for meaning and change. Robert Peterson, who has been playing music since his early teens, has an interesting approach to writing lyrics. He is especially careful that his lyrics do not immediately lead to people labeling the song as "Christian," and tries to avoid classifications like "Christian Rock" so that he can reach a larger audience with his message. People who otherwise would be turned off by overt religious references. "Change Coming On" accomplishes this with subtlety and depth. The song opens with the image of being "all alone on a crowded city street," creating a feeling of isolation and longing. As the song continues, a powerful awareness is building up, "I can feel a chang...
Riley Clemmons has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix. The song 'Inside My Head' was born out of a season of pain and healing. As a result, the song has a way of speaking about life's difficulties that is accessible and relatable to everyone. "As I was writing and dreaming up this record, "says Riley, "there was never a plan to create anything but honest music, born from hurting, growing, and healing. I collected songs for this body of work much like I collected every experience I found myself in the middle of over the past couple of years... the highs & lows, the conversations with God, the questions about my identity, the heartbreak, and the healing." Although the music addresses life's hurts, it does much more than that. The trials of life, according to Clemmons, are ordained by God so we can draw close to him. "The thread that began to connect them all quickly became the idea tha...
