shane and shane

I bought SHANE & SHANE's new CD last week. At first, I wasn't a big fan ... the songs were not ministering to me the way others have. But, I have played it over and over (and over) this week and I'm slowly falling in love. I'm really appreciating the lyrics, the depth of their songs and their beautiful harmonies.


I found some commentary that's worth sharing:

"...they are worshipful, reflective, reverent and poetic. Their blend of songwriting, instrumentation and heart makes Pages more than just another CD. It is an experience.”

"...their latest album represents a leap in quality… Always honest, always profound, Shane Barnard and Shane Everett make the kind of music that Heaven savours.”

“Enveloped by the double-Shane yearning vocals that are as rich as they are melodic, their usual acoustic passion drips from every lyric and guitar strum, but this time we get a little more alternative aggression than before."

It makes me want to listen to it right now!! I want to sit with each one of you and "experience" the album with you :) The first song is called VISION OF YOU and the chorus says "Awaken what's inside of me. Tune my heart to all You are in me. Even though You're here, God come. And may the vision of You be the death of me. And even though You've given everything, Jesus come." ... beautiful. There is an interesting song called EMBRACING ACCUSATION about the truthful accusations of the devil. The song builds and builds until the end when it redeems itself - the song is truly an experience. And the entire album ends with a song called WOUNDED, which is followed by a final instrumental piece called HEALED ... beautiful once again.

FYI: You can sample some of the songs on their website.
FYI2: Shane Barnard & Bethany Dillon are engaged - crazy!
