Free Christmas Song From Matt Maher

Free music today from Matt Maher!  AmazonMP3 is giving away Matt’s Christmas song “Silent Night (Emmanuel)” as part of their very impressive of other free songs.  Matt first released the song last year digitally, and, if I remember correctly, it was featured on iTickets then.

Anyway, the song is a medley of “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”, and “Silent Night”, and pretty quiet & relaxing.

Wally’s Yule-Rock Sampler

You know how the Free Christian Music Awards are going on right now here on TFCMB?  Well, I think I just found my vote for sampler of the year.  This particular sampler is being released by the radio show Total Axxess & Provident Music.  I have to say, this is the most impressive track-list I’ve seen in a long time:

• Fireflight – “Desperate”
• Leeland w/ Brandon Heath – “Follow You”
• Tal & Acacia – “Garbage In”
• Pillar – “Secrets and Regrets”
• Phil Stacey – “You’re Not Shaken”
• Matt Maher – “Hold Us Together”
• RED – “Start Again”
• Brandon Heath – “Love Never Fails”
• Tenth Avenue North – “Times”
• Jars of Clay – “Boys (Lesson One)”

You’ve got brand new Fireflight, great songs from Pillar, Phil Stacey, Brandon Heath, and Jars of Clay, really, just about everything on this sampler is worth getting.  Don’t miss this one!

The Weekly Downloads: Oct. 13 ~ Oct. 19

It’s that time again!  This week is going to be a little easier to cover then last week, since there are far fewer free songs this week – which is a little disappointing.   Oh well, there’s always another day, another batch of downloads…

First up this week, iTickets has two free songs from Out of Eden, with “Rolling Stone”, and Matt Maher’s fantastic song “Alive Again”.  I’m really digging Matt’s voice in this song, I really like it, and if you don’t have it yet, definitely grab it for free now.

Another great song that’s free this week is Fee’s new song, “Arms that Hold the Universe”.  It’s from Fee’s brand new CD, and you can download it from Tangle.com:

Last but not least, you can get a free copy of Satellites & Sirens’ video for “Take Me Back” from VideoRocket.  The video is pretty cool, and while you’re at VideoRocket, you can also watch the debut of the band’s brand new music video for the song “Breaking the Noise”.  Check the out here, and download “Take Me Back” below.

The Weekly Downloads: Oct. 6 – Oct. 12

Welcome to another week of free downloads from all of usual suspects – iTickets, NewReleaseTuesday, Tangle, and Gospel Music Channel – this week, there’s about twice as much music as normal, thanks to Gotee Records – but more on that in a bit.

First up this week, Tangle.com is featuring Mandisa’s song “He Is With You” on their homepage.  It’s from Mandisa’s sophomore album Freedom, and the soundtrack to Mandisa’s second music video, which you can watch here.  Check it out!

Also free this week is a brand new Christmas song from Chris Tomlin, courtesy of Gospel Music Channel.  It’s called “Emmanuel (Hallowed Manger Ground)”, from Chris’s new album Glory in the Highest, which came out two days ago on Oct. 6.  Incidentally, that’s the same release date as Downhere & Family Force 5’s Christmas albums.  Anyway, it’s never to early to start collecting Christmas music, and this is a pretty good place to start.

Besides that, last week, Gospel Music Channel had pretty cool song that’s still available.  It’s “It Is Your Grace”, by Andreas Sandlund.  If the name sounds familiar, there’s a good reason – I was privileged to feature his song “We’re Miles Away” on TFCMB last January, and I’m really excited to see him getting some major attention.  Definitely check this one out!

iTickets also has several free downloads this week, from COS, Relient K, and Paul Wright.  Now, Relient K shouldn’t need much introduction, nor should Paul Wright, but COS doesn’t have the advantage of being famous, at least not yet.  Basically, “Your Will” is a super-stripped down worship song, it’s barely acoustic, and actually sounds quite good.  Worth checking out.

This post is getting long… and I’m only about half way.  Seriously, this is a big week – and the biggest batch of downloads of from NewReleaseTuesday.com.  They have a whopping 8 downloads this week, seven of whom are Gotee Records artists.  The listing:

• Relient K – “The Lining Is Silver”
• B.Reith – “Mess”
• House of Heroes – “In The Valley of the Dying Sun”
• Abandon Kansas – “I Wonder If It’s Me”
• Ayeisha Woods – “Transparent”
• Stephanie Smith – “Not Afraid”
• I Am Terrified – “Falling On Everlasting”

And hanging on from last week, an excellent song from non-Gotee artist Matt Maher called “Alive Again”.  I’ve already gotten all 8 songs free from other sites, but if you’re missing all or any, this is a great opportunity to download them, for free.

Augh!  I just keep finding more music…  ah, it’s hard to complain about that.  You can also get three free songs from Michael W. Smith, Matt Maher (once again!), and Phil Stacey at this link:

-A New Hallelujah Tour-

And you can download three songs from Matt Papa, Jason Gray, and High Valley at OnCourse.  Bottom right of the page, follow the instructions there.

-On Course Magazine-

And that wraps up the weekly downloads for this week, so till next week, this is Matt signing off.

Christmas 08: It’s Coming!

It’s December 3, and iTicket’s has got two Christmas downloads on there site this week.  The first, by BarlowGirl, is a mp3 from their latest CD, Home For Christmas called “Panis Angelicus”.  I’m pretty sure the title is Latin, but beyond that I have no idea what it means.  If anyone could translate that I would appreciate it! 

Edit: “Panis Angelicus” means “bread of angels” in Latin. Thanks everyone!

The other song is thankfully a bit easier to figure out.  It’s called “Silent Night (Emmanuel)”, and it’s a new Christmas song by Matt Maher.  (Matt’s probably best know for the song “Your Grace Is Enough”, which he wrote and Chris Tomlin recorded.)  I haven’t had an opportunity to hear either song yet, but if you like either band (or Christmas music in general) you’ll definitely want to grab the songs.
