Electromagnetic Starfield

Not sure where the electromagnetism comes into play, but oh well.

Having only been exposed to a few of their songs from CCF and Sunday worship sessions, I didn't really know what to expect from a so-called "Christian concert". Coming out of it, it felt like a very powerful musical worship night...catered to certain demographics, of course. (I know the style of music and "presentation" definitely won't fly at my home church.)


There were a few songs that caught my ear that night...usually certain words that stuck out:

Saving One: 
A slightly more hymn-esque melody for the verses. This song explains the death and resurrection of Christ, and its effect on those who believe. The bridge stuck out most, which was taken from Joel 2:32 and quoted again by Paul in Romans 10:13. "Anyone who calls upon His Name will be saved."

Rediscover You:
A genuine reflection of a spiritually drained believer. The author touches on David's prayer life. Even though David was a man after God's own heart, his psalms paint a picture of a Christ-follower's spiritual journey. 

Revolution:
More of a rocky-punk style song that shows a Christ-follower's faith and determination in the midst of opposition. "I'm a war already won/ I'm a revolution" stood out to me, suggesting that a repenting sinner is already a miracle in itself. 

All We Need:
An invitational song that brings fellow Christ-followers together in total devotion and praise to God. "You are all our hearts are beating for." "We don't want what the world gives anymore."

Reign In Us:
Oh man, so much goodness in this song. It starts off with God's omniscience, beginning with the idea of being individually known by Him before the beginning [Ephesians 1:4], and then mentioning that God knew that we would eventually fall into sin and would need His grace and mercy. In response to this, the author submits his life to Christ, wanting Christ to reign in his life. 


In all, it was a great worship night. Musically, nothing was off...it was technically seamless. I'm usually a sucker for cool chords and continuous quarter beat bass drumming, and I may get distracted at times...but it felt no different than listening to Greg Liu's guitar playing :D
