Have you heard of them?
The Lower Lights?
I just did. And it was very moving.
He says in this clip that people want to hear hymns in a way that they haven't been able to before.
That resonated with me, a whole lot.
About 7 years ago a young lady that had recently been baptized in our ward played the piano and sang a hymn in sacrament meeting. She didn't sing it in a traditional way though. She had changed the arrangement and her voice was smooth and sweet with an edge of bluegrass. I got a prickly feeling on my arms listening to her. The same feeling I got just now when I watched this video.

I absolutely LOVE this!
Songs that you must have a listen to if you have never heard them:
I Need thee Every Hour by Jars Of Clay
Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing by Sufjan Stevens
I am now going to the Lower Lights web site to see how I can get my hands on this CD!
I LOVED that sacrament meeting! If this is anything like that, I will love it too:)
LOVE this! Thank you for sharing. It is both going into my shopping cart and on my own blog! Yay!
Hi! I'm not sure if you'll see this comment, but I'm with The Lower Lights and we wanted to thank you for helping spread the word about our music. We are getting ready to release another album of hymns and wondered if you'd be interested in helping to review/promote it on your blog again. If so, please email me so we can send you a promo copy.
Thanks,
Sarah
