Redemption – Lyrics
redemption.
everything that I was to blame for
was a trade for
Your hand in mine
the spear that pierced the side of my Savior
was a payment for my life
See You Again – Lyrics
see you again.
This life is totaled
You moved to a better place
A place beyond the sunrise
And we’re still standing on the earth you left behind
With years left to finish
Song for Matthew – Lyrics
song for matthew.
oh are you really gone oh are you really gone
oh are you really not coming home with us, with us
oh are you really gone oh are you really gone
Horizon – Lyrics
horizon.
You’re my horizon
You bring the light in
You bring me hope when hope is gone
You’re my horizon
You bring the light in
You break the dark with the dawn
Look for the Light – Lyrics
Look For The Light – Amanda Falk
there’re too many things to count I can’t explain
and the more I figure out the more I don’t know anyway
like the question why always remains the same
In a Moment – Lyrics
in a moment.
have you ever loved somebody so much you could not feel the span of time
you couldn’t explain why with every look in her eyes the weight of the world shifted
We Will Wait – Lyrics
we will wait.
Can you see us
Cause it’s getting hard to breathe down here
Are you near us
It’s getting greyer.
The black and white is gone
The clouds have crowded their way in
Landslide – Lyrics
landslide.
our love is
a disaster of infinite proportion
and I’m caught in the after math of your affection
like a time bomb
I’m waiting on the moment to arrive
Symphony – Lyrics
symphony.
there was a girl, dark haired and wide eyed
looked at the world, strong willed and unafraid to put up a fight
though she appeared tough on the outside
Unbreakable – Lyrics
unbreakable.
I was a seed
Scattered within a forest of trees
That burned to the ground in fall and winter covered me
But spring found me Your sun melted all of the things
No More Shadows – Lyrics
no more shadows.
why are we living in the shadows of yesterday
the ashes from last night’s cigarettes have blown away
still memories, they haunt us, of the
people we used to be
That’s What You Do – Lyrics
That’s What You Do – Amanda Falk
Homeless
That’s how I feel when you’re not with me
Restless
I cannot concentrate on anything
But your eyes, and your smile
Paper Planes – Lyrics
paper planes.
every single star at night
is called by name to shine
with the brightest brilliance I’ve ever seen
this is who you are to me
and I am driving down the road

Carolyn Arends’ New CD – Love Was Here First | preview and review
by Steve Bell
I am always astonished at how much Carolyn Arends can pack into a pop song. Her songs are consistently like those mythological abodes of fairy-tales that are magically bigger on the inside than they can possibly be from the outside.

New Jon Buller Album: Light Up the Sky – release date: Nov.1
Hello Everyone!
It is with great excitement that I am writing this in preparation to release my first original music CD in about 5 years. It is also with tremendous thanks to Steve Bell and the whole Signpost team, David Jennings of Incarnation Ministries and Roy Salmond from Whitewater Productions.a
Almost 3 years ago I received a generous invitation to join a group of singer songwriters, theologians and music lovers at a retreat in Whistler, BC. At that time in my musical life I was coming off a 10 year period of touring and was starting a new career as a pastor of worship and arts. And for about 2 years , I barely wrote a single song. It seemed I had very little to say through my music, and artistically… I was exhausted.

New Video | Janzen’s Jazz
I got to know Mike Janzen back in 2001 (ish). Due to scheduling complications, the keyboard player hired to play on my Waiting for Aidan tour had to cancel just weeks before it began. In a panic I called bassist Fergus Marsh and he suggested I call Mike who I ended up hiring on the spot – solely on the strength of Fergus’ enthusiastic recommendation. A week later, Mike showed up for rehearsals and I haven’t done a band tour without him since.

This Bright Sadness – Review by Brian Walsh
I’ve been listening to it every chance that I get. I admit it that I first went to listen to your cover of Dylan’s “Everything is Broken”. In my books it takes some balls to cover Dylan and do it well, so I went with a very critical ear. And brother, you nailed it. This is a great cover.Then, having passed muster with his Bobness, I went on to listen to the album. Absolutely wonderful. I love it. I admit it that I’m partial to the blues (It’s Promising Rain is wonderful) and to dark tones in music. I’m also a total sucker for an organ in songs like this.So thanks, Glen, for thinking of me and giving me this wonderful recording. And congratulations on such a wonderful artistic work.Brian WalshI’ve been listening to it every chance that I get.

Meeting Carolyn Arends – by Steve Bell
Carolyn Arends
Years ago when I met Carolyn, Dave (my manager) and I traveled to Dauphin, Manitoba to play at a fairly large Christian music festival. I’d never been a big fan of festivals – not as a performer anyway. I tend to feel a bit lost on a big stage and often the camraderie one might expect to happen backstage between artists well… gives way to posturing and bravado.

Acoustic Christmas – CD Review
Review from CrossRhythms.co.uk
STYLE: Roots/Acoustic
RATING 
DISTRIBUTION: Signpost
FORMAT: CD Album
Reviewed by Matthew Cordle
From the outset the tone of this CD is meditative and conjures up an image of late-night introspection around an open fire. There is a wonderful breathing space in Kevin’s playing, with none of the over-complication that so often characterises Christmas music, neither the excess of “virtuoso” playing that can sometimes dominate guitarists’ music. The arrangements are musically creative and the recording quality is excellent – you can almost imagine Kevin is right there sitting between your speakers as the notes hang like droplets in the stillness. There is a curious shift in the stereo field about two thirds of the way through “Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming” which I’m not sure should be there and “Auld Lang Syne” seems a little out of place to my mind. But other than that there are no weak points at all here. “Away In A Manger” seamlessly combines two of the traditional tunes, the arrangement of “Good King Wenceslas” is beautifully interesting, “What Child Is This?” is Greensleeves with a delicate dash of Spanish flair. Unless you really dislike the acoustic guitar I would thoroughly recommend this CD as a reflective reminder of the Christmas story.
