Bombs Away...It's time for some Videos

I must admit that I was surprised by how many liked the new direction that I started last week.  I am having a blast and honestly this has become the thing I look forward to sharing every week.  Today two videos premiered and while one is probably going to be the popular pic I am amazed by the second.

Eye On It by Tobymac feat Britt Nicole

I have to admit that even though the song is great and Britt Nicole's vocals are a welcome addition, I am a little disappointed by it.  The video honestly looks like something that could have been thrown together in a weekend by the road crew.  While this is an okay look for new and upcoming bands I think Toby can give us a little more.  Also even though "Eye On It" is the albums title song, there are so many other stronger songs on the album like "Me without You", "Forgiveness" feat Lecrae, or "Unstoppable" feat Blanca.  With such an amazing album, why choose a relative "b-side" song to make your first video out of. 

Bombs Away by Jonathan Thulin feat Rachael Lampa

Now for this week's favorite.  This song is an amazing mix of vocals, strings, and drums that pulls at the heart strings but the video takes it to the next level.  In the behind the scenes video Jonathan states that he believes that a video should explain and enhance a song and with "Bombs Away" he definitely makes the song powerful.  I have to admit that at the end I had tears in my eyes.  The emotion and passion portrayed by the singers is believable and relate-able.  The visuals of a once white room (representative of our soul) becoming trashed by the decisions and mistakes that we make made this song more than a song and moved it more into a six minute presentation of the Gospel.  I would encourage you to view this and to also share it.

Thanks once again for reading my thoughts and I look forward to continuing to show you more of the music that drives me.
