Hanno Herbst's 'Shine on Jerusalem' - An Anthem for Unity and Peace


Hanno Herbst - Shine on Jerusalem

It has been said, 'Where words fail, music speaks,' and Hanno Herbst's 'Shine on Jerusalem' is a testament to this truth. This fine piece of music soars above linguistic boundaries, carrying a luminous message of peace. It is so much more than just a song; it’s an anti-war hymn for all humanity. Its lyrics peel back the worldly layers of strife and conflict, revealing at the core a radiant beacon of hope.

'Shine on Jerusalem' speaks to our collective longing for unity, a unity embodied in the symbolic heart of the song—'Jerusalem'. 'Jerusalem' represents not just a geographical place, but a spiritual locus of mutual respect, tolerance, love, forgiveness, and above all, unity. Crafted with an orchestra's symphonic richness and modern rhythms, the song captures the harmony that is not just a dream, but an attainable reality.

The power of unity is interwoven into the very genesis of the song itself. Majestic classical voices seamlessly blend with ebullient pop tones, echoing the delightful diversity we treasure in humanity. 'Shine on Jerusalem' is more than just an auditory journey; it's a call to action—a call for us all to build a harmonious, sustainable future together.

We encourage you to experience Hanno Herbst's uplifting anthem. Let's help 'Shine on Jerusalem' resonate further, touching more hearts, sparking more minds, and inspiring more souls. Together in faith and song, we can illuminate the path forward.

"A Love Song" by Seek and Surrender: The Three-Stranded Covenant

(By Jasper Tan) We always see people say "I love you" to someone, professing their love to that significant other. But we often see how a marriage united by love easily shreds to tatters, and we ask ourselves, "Why?" Where did it all go wrong? How did something joined together by love easily get broken and be accepted as "falling out of love"? But the biggest thought that comes to mind while listening to Seek and Surrender's latest song, "A Love Song," is: do we really understand what it feels like to love? In Seek and Surrender's song, there are countless lines in which the singer professes his love to his bride. It seeks to highlight the sincerity of his love, the magnanimity, the pureness. But in those lines, there's this line that we all should focus on —  "If Christ gave Himself for His bride, Oh, then I'll give myself for mine." Do we know how Christ gave himself for his bride (the Church)? He sacrificed himself w...

John Mayer's Secret to Writing Catchy Song Lyrics

John Mayer's Secret to Writing Catchy Song Lyrics by Kapa Freeman  Why are John Mayer's song lyrics so easy to remember? It comes down to human psychology. I am notoriously bad at remembering song lyrics, except for John Mayer's Songs. Other artists may write a song I remember here or there, but John Mayer does it consistently. Why? I discovered the reason when I was working full-time as a teacher. Teachers can always tell when they're losing students. When those eyes start to glaze over, when that one eyebrow raises in confusion and someone yells out... "I don't get it!"  I got those a lot when I first started teaching. Talking to other teachers, I soon discovered why. I was giving too much information at once. I would vomit these elaborate explanations, thinking that more information would help clear things up... But they just got confused. Talking to my teachers reminded me of lessons I'd learned while getting my teaching degree:  "People remem...

"If Jesus Could (Walk on Water)" by John Fumo & Robert Fumo: A Funky Call to Compassion

Have you ever considered Jesus’s actions as a benchmark for our own compassion? In their funky, soulful new track, John and Robert Fumo do just that. In their song, “If Jesus Could (Walk on Water)”, the brothers Fumo share how easy it is to be compassionate and loving in light of the accomplishments and miracles which Jesus performed. In other words, His incredible acts should make our own acts of kindness feel entirely achievable.  For example, “If Jesus could …walk on water,” the lyrics challenge, “then we can …love one another.” There’s more… If He could feed thousands with a few fish and loaves, surely “it shouldn’t be hard to keep the people fed.”   The song reframes Jesus’s acts into a call to action. Instead of seeing insurmountable problems, we are reminded that if Christ could “rise from the dead, // We could trade hate for love instead.” The song not only triggers a paradigm shift, but it also empowers. At its core, it reminds us of Jesus’s promise that ...
