The SMOOTHY Journey: From Roland MC303 to "New Bounce District Jerusalem"

The sound of a music store buzzing with exciting possibilities. That's where SMOOTHY found an audio marvel called the Roland MC303. Little did he know that this gadget would ignite his endless love for music. A love that has led to the sounds of his latest electrifying track, 'The New Bounce District Jerusalem.' SMOOTHY began performing for small gatherings and intimate venues. His music had a purpose much larger than the simple thrill of foot-tapping beats. He knew that many of the values in the music industry contradicted his strong Christian beliefs, and many Christians were dancinge to tracks with little or no morals, lyrics encouraging behaviour that no sane-minded person would want to happen to their children or loved ones. For SMOOTHY it was time to be the change. He wanted to add the essence of his faith to every beat and note, a distinction that would enrich his sound. So SMOOTHY embraced digital music and tweaked loop packs and VSTs like a blacksmith tweaks his to

'My Story' by Chace Skelton: Finding Home in His Grace

Chace Skelton just released a new song called 'My Story'. The song talks about how much Jesus loves us and how He can help us go from feeling lost to being found. It doesn't matter where you are in your faith walk-you're invited to see how Jesus can take even the worst parts of your life and turn them into a story of hope and redemption.  The lyrics really spoke to me. They remind me that all the tough times, doubts, and fears we go through don't really define who we are. Sure, these experiences color the 'glasses' through which we see the world, but they don't really define who we are. What really defines us is the grace and forgiveness that come from our relationship with Jesus.  A key message in this song is that it's never too late to come back to God, no matter how far we feel we've strayed. His love never gives up and His mercy has no end. You'll find your true home and purpose in God. God is the one source you can count on to really re

'You Stayed' by Natalie Grace: The Song of Unwavering Hope and Salvation

The lyrics of Natalie Grace's 'You Stayed' were inspired by her daughter's innocent a pondering, 'He stayed?' . Quite some years ago, when Natalie's daughter was really young, she was reading a story to her daughter about Jesus dying on the cross. It talked about how he could have saved himself - he didn't have to go through this suffering, but he chose to stay because He loved us and knew that this was the only way for us to be saved. Her daughter's sweet little voice just kept asking, 'He stayed???' Natalie thought this was so powerful since they had spent a lot of time singing about how He didn't stay in the grave. There wouldn't have been a resurrection if Jesus hadn't stayed to finish His work on the cross. 'You Stayed' reminds us of God's immense compassion and sacrifice for us.  The beauty of 'You Stayed' comes from its simplicity. Natalie Grace brings us closer to the heart of Jesus' sacrifice thro

'Spirit Come' by Vineyard East Anglia: An Invitation to Divine Encounter

The band Vineyard East Anglia created a beautiful song called 'Spirit Come' that came from a really special time of connection with God. They were all together in a warm, sunny room in Thetford, brainstorming songs. That's where this melody was born. 'Spirit Come' isn't your average song though. You can feel the group's shared desire to experience God's presence in a real, powerful way. This song is a prayer, begging God to send revival and fill people's lives.  This song 'Spirit Come' really reels you in from the beginning. It paints a picture of needing God that tugs at your emotions. As you listen to the words, it's easy to relate to feeling raw and hurting inside yet still having hope. The lyrics put you in a place of bringing all your problems to God, and fills you with expectation that He wants to meet you how and where you are. 'Spirit Come' reminds us of an important truth - even when we're struggling and in pain each

'Abel to Jesus' by E. James Smith: A Melodious Journey from Beginnings to Aspirations

E. James Smith's new song 'Abel to Jesus' is a song with a strong rock base, a soulful horn section, and lively choral vocals. The story of this song, 'Abel to Jesus', tells something we all know too well: the ups and downs of life form us into who we are. Through faith, we have the confidence that all of these experiences are molding us into who we were meant to be. As a result, the name we've been given or the problems we've faced don't really matter. What really shapes us is allowing God to use these experiences to help us grow, improve and ultimately, do our best. Through the raw honesty of Smith's lyrics, the essence of our humanity finds a voice.  Just as fascinating is the fact that Smith got the idea for 'Abel to Jesus' from looking through a phone book. I doubt if 'Abel de Jesus' realizes that his name helped to spark a masterful song of faith. A song highlighting that the journey from 'Abel,' who represents our begin

Embrace Divine Acceptance in 'Nothin' to Do' by Grande Baliad

I just listened to that song 'Nothin' to Do' by Grande Baliad. Whoa, what a message! God loves us no matter what. His love is a gift, not something we earn. All the good stuff like being close to God, healing, getting our needs met, and feeling loved - that's all been given to us already! We only need to accept it as a free gift. The song says to stop trying to 'earn' God's grace by doing good things. We can't earn it or deserve it - it's already ours! We just need to 'step up into freedom' and receive what Jesus already did for us on the cross. God's approval and grace doesn't depend on what and how well we do - it depends on His sacrificial love as demonstrated in Jesus Christ. We are asked to believe in His Son! That's pretty amazing when you think about it. So don't wait around feeling bad about yourself. Just enjoy this free gift and praise God! Sing to Jesus and open your heart up to His love. The song says all you need
