Why is missionary a bad word? Also, I TOTALLY agree with your thoughts on The Stand. I can barely pay attention to the beginning, but near the end i suddenly am like, “Wow, I love this song!”
Sounds like a great set. I’m loving your DJ. Do you guys have a dj every service or just for the remix series? By the way, how long does it take you guys to set up for service in the gym. It looks great.
Hey bro. I’ve been digging your stage set-up for the remix series. How long have you had a DJ a part of your worship band? I’m jealous…
Sounds like you guys had a good set. Our set went really good yesterday. Here’s the songs:
All We Need – Hall
All Because of Jesus – Fee
Made to Worship – Tomlin
I Stand Amazed – Some old guy, along time ago
Your Grace is Enough – Tomlin/Maher
i like the stand alot. i dont like open skies. its too much words and not a real noticable melody. i like the remix version of that song better besides.
Justin. I totally don’t like you either. But I sing you anyways.
Just Kidding.
OK. So we have a The Stand verse fan. And a Open Skies hater.
More opinions?
Actually this seems like a good post…

Great set. We intertwined a drama with the McLachlan tune. It went so poorly during the morning run-through I was about to take the little pill they gave me in case I was ever captured. The little jar was out and was sitting on my amp ready for me to end it all. But alas, it came together swimmingly and created a totally great creative experience in the middle of the service.
i think that people should just be more hungry and stop worrying if the song is “boring or whatnot” its still something to sing to the lord i mean i admit i have not heard that song i think but i would really need to find it…..hunger and thirst for God and all that is offered and not dwell on something that the Lord could care less how you sound because its not about that its about worshipping..am i right…please reply
I was at the eleven o’clock service and it was a little weird the way you introduced open skies. i think you could’ve just played it without the acapella singing…
and i love the stand. all of it. =)
Yesterday was good. I liked All We Need too. Holy is the Lord was perfect right after the sermon. It seemed very reverent, but it always seems a bit abrupt to move out of something quiet, worshipful and reverent into, ok lets take the offering. Just some of my random thoughts….
Hey Los,
Just thought I would let you know that God broke me sunday night during the second set. It was one of those times where you don’t sing, you just listen and he used you and the band to tell me what I needed to hear that night. I just wanted to say thank you for making yourselves avialable to be used by God to reach people like me. Its more then the music you play, its the way you present worship as an act of joy. Thanks again.

Man, it’s always harder to watch/listen to what you did separated from the moment (although i didn’t much like that break into E.W.&F. at the time either)…almost had the beat there, but perhaps i coulda let the bass hang around and then echoed it out better? Ah..yadda yadda: it’ll be different the next time and i’ll either like it then or i won’t be satisfied all over again.
Sets are a funny thing, some of the guys we work w/totally plan them out, even write it out: this goes to this at this BPM, then juggle this riddim in this order and end w/that..etc. I’ve done that before, but generally i have a core set of songs or sound that i work for somewhere in the 45min-hour that i’m spinning and i either work to it, or work from it…sometimes there will be a core towards the beginning and another at the end, working from A to B or whatnot……but it is always important to figure out what vibe you’re starting from and where you’re leaving it for the next guy…sounds like the same thing w/leading worship before and after the sermons. Gets weird: last nite the DJ i spun after thought it was his fault that i transitioned so noticeably and heavily into a MUCH slower set of songs, but it was really nothing like that: had some new stuff i wanted to work in and i hadn’t played hotmilk or murderer or guntown in 6 months or so and wanted to fit’em in…HE kept apologising for a decision that I made that, frankly, did not make for a bad transition at all……ah well, perception is a funny thing.
I don’t really much know the names of the songs you play, just how they go…usually the stuff that sticks in my head is the chorus devoid of the rest of the song (i.e. “consume me from the inside out”)…i guess that’s why some folks call it ‘the hook’; cuz it’s what hooks you in and gets you caught up. In original hiphop it was the break, the maybe 16 bar section of the song that people got down to, so koolherc and grandmaster and all the other oldskool guys would cut it back and forth and forget about the rest of the song (as an example check out ‘amen, brother’ by the winstons)…then drop straight into the break on the next record and keep the party live in that way.
whatevs…thanx for contributing to my internet footprint….i’ll have to google me in a week or so and see what comes up.
oh, and tracey realtor?… you wouldn’t wanna holla at my hair if it was covered in popcorn grease, trus’me, honeydoll….and neither would i even if it was white-cheddar flavored
check out 722 webcast this week. Kristian goes from Wholy Yours into The Stand….with some babble from Jarrett Stevens inbetween. Kinda cool, maybe in the right moment…Perhaps going into the I’ll stand part from Wholy Yours.
RAIN IT DOWN
Awesome. You’re right about the Stand. The verses aren’t too much, but man the chorus rocks hard. like. yeah.
Why is missionary a bad word? Also, I TOTALLY agree with your thoughts on The Stand. I can barely pay attention to the beginning, but near the end i suddenly am like, “Wow, I love this song!”
The set was amazing today.
I absolutely loved “Open Skies.”
Thanks for another great Sunday!
