"Six Feet Under" by Alex Young And Friends – Dancing in the Rhythm of Eternal Freedom


Alex Young And Friends' latest single, "Six Feet Under", is a joyful and upbeat song of hope. It's the kind of song and melody that puts a smile on your face and gives you summery feelings. It reminds you just how life-changing faith can be. 

Alex Young And Friends - Six Feet UnderThe song was born during a last-minute writing session on the day before they wrapped up their album, which is funded through a Kickstarter campaign. This song feels alive in every sense because it's all about resurrection and finding true freedom in Christ. The lyrics start with, "Six feet under is where I'd be without You." Without His gift of resurrection to all who embrace Him, there would be nothing for us but chains, emptiness, and despair. But then something changes: a new song, new heart, even the earth breaking … "I'm alive, because of You"

The song tries to give words to what it means to move from spiritual death to freedom. "I feel a new song, new drum beating again" and "Visions of resurrection, bodies rising up," the joy of being unchained and relieved from everything that is holding us down. It's a celebration that we're all longing for. So, if you're feeling weighed down by guilt or fear, may this song remind you that there is a way forward through Christ and the gift of redemption that he offers. Listen closely, you might just hear your own story in this song.

(Related scripture: Ephesians 2:4-5; Romans 6:23; John 10:10)

"Soon and Very Soon" by Robby Robinson: Why This Classic Still Hits Like the First Time

What if one song could carry the weight of every hardship you've ever faced, and still leave you smiling? That's exactly what Andraé Crouch accomplished in 1978 when he wrote "Soon and Very Soon," and this new recording by Robby Robinson, Tony Galla, and Ray Reynolds makes sure you feel every bit of it.  The song is based on Revelation 21:3–4, reminding us of what's coming: no more crying, no more dying, just the glorious moment we finally see the King. Simple words, but it carries a profound promise.  Crouch was honest about the journey. There are "rivers we must cross" and "mountains we must climb." He emphasizes the truth that faith doesn't erase our struggles — it sustains us through them. God, as the lyrics remind us, will "supply all the strength that we need."   Featuring powerhouse vocalists Tony Galla and Ray Reynolds, Robinson blends this classic gospel energy with a rich, Hammond-organ-driven groove. Rather than a slow...

"Just Like You" by Senora Boyd: Chasing Christ Above All Else

What does it really mean to be transformed? Senora Boyd answers that question boldly in her Christian Rock/Pop anthem, "Just Like You" — and the answer might surprise you.  Less than a year before meeting her now-husband, "notlouwee!", and connecting with Billboard-charting producer "I Project", Boyd's life was looking completely different compared to where she is today. Her desires shifted, her priorities became centered on God, and the way she created music changed, together with her faith. We're talking about a full reset! What started out as a new spiritual journey quickly grew into a creative movement. Together with notlouwee! and I Project, she recorded nine songs within seven months. "Just Like You" is Boyd's fourth release, and it may be her most personal release yet.  The song is a raw, faith-filled confession. Lines like "Strip away my sin, I feel like a criminal" and "I was lost, running from the truth"...
