Last night our CU meeting was a bit different. Since everyone is stressed out with exams (not me of course… hmm) we thought we’d chillax. An acoustic night… we were pleased to welcome a Christian Indie band from Sydney, called Richard Beeston band. They are mates of Ross from BH, so he gave short talk from Ecclesiasties 3 (and a bit of Mark 8).
As well as their own stuff, they covered Coldplay – Clocks, and a different, but very good version of ‘No Woman, No Cry’. Their own stuff is great too – firstly they’ve proved that you can write Christian songs and still musically be good. The songs are about God, sometimes explicity, sometimes less so. I’ve been listening to their album for a couple of weeks and my favourite was track 3 – ‘I give in to you’. It was great to hear it live and to hear the story behind it… all about a young man who came to Christ, but his family didn’t like it and put aside £1.3 million (around 20 years ago – that’s a lot!) and offered it to him to reject his faith – he chose Christ saying that that money didn’t come close to eternity in heaven with Him.
Listen to their music and buy it – it’s great! You can get it on ITunes…
