Amanda Joy Powell - Lay Your Burdens Down (CCM)


Amanda Joy Powell's song 'Lay Your Burdens Down' is a heartfelt and moving plea to those who may be struggling with difficult emotions or circumstances. The song's lyrics are a reminder that we don't have to carry our burdens alone, and that we can find hope and freedom in Jesus.

Powell's inspiration for the song came from a powerful encounter with a woman consumed with anger and bitterness, who was struggling to let go of her burden. Amanda shares: 'The day before writing this song, I had just been talking with a woman who was consumed with anger, resentment, and bitterness; and she wasn’t ready to let go of it. Her burden had become such a part of her that she was more comfortable carrying it around with her than laying it down at the foot of the cross. I remember leaving that situation and just crying for HOURS! Praying on her behalf that God would help her to let go, and to forgive, so her healing could start. My heart was shattered for her. As I was laying down my burden for this lady and giving this concern to the Lord, I sat at the piano and poured out EVERYTHING I was thinking and feeling at that moment.' This experience led Amanda to create this beautiful song, 'Lay Your Burdens Down.'

Secrets Artists Should Learn About The Spotify Algorithm

Spotify's competitive edge is the amount of data it holds on listeners and the way it uses that data to increase engagement. ... Using the same underlying data and technology can provide unique insights to record labels and artists about who's listening to what and help them reach more listeners. The Spotify algorithm sets itself apart from other digital music streaming services. The algorithm is an AI system known as BaRT (an abbreviation of Ba ndits for R ecommendations as T reatments). Basically, BaRT’s job is to keep listeners listening. It does this by playing and suggesting songs it knows the user is familiar with, while dropping in some fresh tracks it thinks they might like, but most importantly, haven’t heard before. This makes sure the listener is engaged, but things never get boring. BaRT decides what to suggest to listeners by combining two concepts – Explore and Exploit. This combination is the key to the platform’s recommendation system. Exploit uses the listene...

"Coming Out Of Babylon" by Robert Peterson and The Crusade: Finding Purpose and Joy in Christ

Robert Peterson had barely dusted off his drum kit when the Lord handed him a new setlist. Robert shares: "this current round of songs being created were different - they were all his - well sort of all his." He had decided it was time to offer up his talents to the Lord. Robert writes: "I was mortified at the thought of actually giving my life to Him. I didn't want to give up who I thought I was."   "Coming Out of Babylon" is the first song coming out of this change (one that was on the shelve a while pending creation of a intro). The result is a five-minute testimony that turns a trembling surrender into a victory march. As you listen, you can feel how this slow ache of "doing what I wanted to… without a fear" transitions into the realization that "I needed You - all the way."   What I enjoy about the song is that it helps to see "leaving" as the first step that is needed to following His calling for us. The chorus emph...
