BEAUTIFUL SONG.........READ THE MESSAGE FIRST, THEN LISTEN TO THE
SONG!!!!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=OExXItDyWEY&vq=medium
Here's the message, in case you want to read about it.
Far from being a professional, even I know the mix of music/song
could be improved, but having said that, when I see/hear something
like this song video, I know there is hope for the youth of our
country. This is well worth the time to read about the song and
watch the video.
About the Song (Sung by Becky Kelley) Directed by Chris Benson
"While at the mall a couple of years ago, my then four year old
nephew, Spencer, saw kids lined up to see Santa Claus. Having been
taught as a toddler that Christmas is the holiday that Christians
celebrate the birth of Jesus, he asked his mom, "where's the line to
see Jesus"?
My sister mentioned this to my dad, who immediately became inspired
and jotted words down to a song in just a few minutes. After putting
music to the words, and doing a quick recording at home, he received
a great response from friends. He sent the song off to Nashville
without much response, except for a Christian song writer who
suggested adding a bridge at the end of the first chorus. My dad
then asked if I wanted to record the song to see what we could do
with it. I listened to the song, made a few changes to the words to
make it flow better, and we headed to Shock City Studios.
It was at the studio where Chris, owner and producer, rewrote the
2nd verse and part of the chorus... with goose bumps and emotions
high, we were all hopeful and felt like we had something special.
The demo was recorded in just under 2 hours and sent off again to
Nashville... still no response".
Then 2 weeks before Christmas last year, my cousins Greg and
Robbie decided to do a video to see what we could accomplish on
YouTube. The first day we had 3000 hits and it soared from there. We
received e-mails, phone calls, Facebook messages from people all over
asking for the music, CD's, iTunes, anything... we had nothing. After
a couple of meetings with Chris following the amazing response, we got
serious. We headed back into the studio this past spring... this time
with guitars, drums, bass, pianos, choirs... the real deal.... and
here we are today".
Getting iTunes set up, a website put together, and loving that
thousands upon thousands of Christians have come together...
remembering the true meaning of Christmas. Out of the mouths of babes
come profound truths that many adults can not understand. Hopefully
Spencer's observation will cause people all over to reflect on the
love of Jesus, and that one day we will all stand in line to see
Him. We are most thankful to our Heavenly Father to have this chance
to share our music with you. Merry Christmas everyone.
