Ever since Sunday and my having been re-introduced to the Christian alternative rock that I used to listen to and love, I've been on the hunt for a particular song. Unfortunately, I could only remember just a few details about it:
- It *was* a Christian rock song
- It was played multiple times over my trip to Centrifuge
- When it played, Robert Watson and I would make hand motions to the part about 'hold[ing] the world in [our] hands'
-
Randy once snapped a picture of Robert and I doing the aforementioned motions (with a Pepsi® displayed very prominently also, if I recall correctly)
Alas, these few things were not enough for me to locate the song easily. A search at
Google.com yielded
less than promising results for 'Christian rock world lyrics,' as did a search for
'Christian world lyrics. I knew that I could probably just ask Randy what the song was, but I also kinda wanted the sense of pride that comes with finding something on your own.
I searched through all of my old tapes today, knowing that at one point, I'd made myself a Christian rock mixed tape and that the song was on it. I couldn't find that tape (it probably died - I used to play it a LOT).
Tonight, more determined than ever, I decided to search through the musical history of each Christian rock band name I could think of, with exception to the wonderful
PETRA, of course, as what I could remember didn't *sound* anything like their work. I went through
Newsboys and
dc Talk before finding the song among...
Audio Adrenaline's own work.
The very band that started my re-introduction to this genre of music on Sunday with their song 'Big House.'
The song is
'Never Gonna Be As Big As Jesus'. The only line I could really partially remember is this:
'Never gonna hold the world in my hand.'*shakes head*
Ah, well. I'm just glad to have located it now.
*commences grooving and silly hand motions*
