anyway, I started listening to Remedy right when it came out last year & for about a month it was the only thing in my iPod... then it rotated off my playlists & is fresh again so I'm listening to it a lot now. especially in the shower 1st thing in the morning. i love it as something to help me wake up & focus on God in a fun way 1st thing in the morning (i am the opposite of a morning person).

Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn't mention that David is one of the funniest humans alive! He's written 2 books and I rank them both as the 2 funniest pieces of entertainment EVER produced. That's right EVER!!! Funnier than any comedian, any movie, any joke... straight up funny. That's just natural Crowder. So go buy his 2 books = Praise Habit: Finding God in Sunsets and Sushi and Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven But Nobody Wants to Die or (the eschatology of bluegrass). But I recommend starting with the 1st one, Praise Habit. It is really short with really big letters and glossy pages and even color pictures!
But back to Remedy. I'm guessing you already have it because everyone should, but if you don't buy it here today.
If you were at Passion '07 you'll recognize a few of the songs he debuted there

Then, there's the great techno-feeling, experimental, Crowderesqe Can You Feel It? that makes every muscle in your body start to move inexplicably... because YES, you do feel it. 3 of my favs on the album are ... neverending ... & 2 we do at Ridge a lot - We Won't Be Quiet (which propels me to obey the title for the next half hour after I listen to this adrenaline-filled, ADD kids wonderland of a song that lasts all of 1 1/2 minutes) & the smooth, catchy Never Let Go.
Oh, what love, oh, what love/ In joy and pain/ In sun and rain/ You're the same/ Oh, You never let go - it's a beautiful song!
Of course, anything produced by Louie is gonna be pimp. It's a guarantee. I can almost hear his influence in the last track on the record - Surely We Can Change. Basically a plea for God to "let us be the remedy!" This song ignites passion and hope in me simultaneously (and is u

But, my favorite song on this CD (which is kind weird for my because I'm not usually a "title track" kind of guy) is Remedy. It's honestly just the beautiful story of humanity's brokenness and God's grace and beauty coming to rescue us. It's a beautiful story that is written as worship back to our amazing God... who IS the REMEDY!
You are the ONE who has saved us
You are the ONE who forgave us
You are the ONE who has come and is coming again
YOU'RE THE REMEDY
Oh, in us You're the remedy
Let us be the remedy
Let us bring the remedy
So, definitely buy this cd(from probably my favorite "still playing" band) if you don't already have it. You can buy it here or on iTunes or wherever you buy music. (don't just rip it off your friend illegally).

Patrick, I know that I am your most faithful reader, because I have you on my blog reader and therefore I read every post...your use of "flippin" & "pimp" is interesting and often quite comical, must be a Charlotte thing or something...today's usage was the best. Not sure if Charles Wesley was a "pimp," but what do I know...
word. my fav is Never Let Go (not sure if thats the title...) anyway Crowder rocks. ive seen him live a couple of times. once with jim in mobile, al. not that we went while at pcc. this was After he got kicked out! ha ive got most of his songs memorized cuz i sing em as loud as i can. Braylon likes Crowder, too. he closes his eyes everytime i turn it on. joanne says its cuz the musics so loud. bump that, i say its cuz he luvz it
