The Free Christian Music Blog

The Weekly Downloads: Nov. 17 ~ Nov. 23

It’s that time again!  Admittedly, this isn’t turning out to be the best week ever for free music, but there’s still quite a bit of music free, especially if you like Phil Wickham’s new song “Coming Alive”.  You’ll see what I mean by that in a bit…

First up this week, iTickets’ has two free songs from Desperation Band (“Light Up The World”) and Jennifer Shaw (“God Loved The World”).

Gospel Music Channel, unfortunately, doesn’t have any free music this week, but they do have a stream of “Again” and “Beautiful Bride” from Flyleaf’s new album Memento Mori.  I have to say, both songs are extremely good – one review I read compared “Beautiful Bride” to DC Talk’s universally popular “Jesus Freak”.  That’s extremely high praise in the Christmas music world.  Definitely worth a listen or two, or more.

Remember how I mentioned Phil Wickham’s new song “Coming Alive” earlier?  Well, there’s a good reason:  FreeCCM, Tangle, and New Release Tuesday all have that song for free this week.  Pick your favorite site, and download away!

Even though it’s not music, or a music video, Video Rocket does have an interesting free video this week – it’s the the trailer for Sarah’s Choice, the new pro-life movie starring Rebecca St. James.  Has anyone seen the movie yet?  Is it good?

Well, that’s everything that’s available this week – not a lot, but still.  Stay tuned, since next week, they’ll be a totally different batch of downloads.  Till then…

25 Years (And The Music Don’t Stop)

Free music today from one of the biggest websites in free Christian music, HearItFirst.  It turns out that EMI CMG / Sparrow Records (who used to own HearItFirst) had a 25th birthday recently, and to celebrate, they gave away 25 five free downloads, covering what appears to be a full 25 years of music.  They’ve got some old classics, and some fairly recent ones too.  The full list:

Scott Wesley Brown – “Consider The Lilies”
Amy Grant – “Sing Your Praise To The Lord”
Jump5 -”Friends”
Avalon – “For Freedom”
BeBe and CeCe Winans – “Change Your Nature”
Bethany Dillon – “Waking Up”
Lost Ocean – “Just Glide”
Margaret Becker – “Say The Name”
Newsboys – “You Are My King (Amazing Love)”
Charlie Hall – “Marvelous Light”
Oceans Above – “Beautiful One”
DC Talk – “The Hardway”
Petra – “This Means War”
DeGarmo and Key – “Casual Christian”
Rebecca St. James – “God Help Me”
Sanctus Real – “The Face of Love”
Shawn McDonald – “Captivated”
Stacie Orrico – “Strong Enough”
Delirious? – “Majesty”
Steven Curtis Chapman – “Signs of Life”
Edison Glass – “Let Go”
This Beautiful Republic – “Casting Off”
Future of Forestry – “Open Wide”
Geoff Moore and The Distance – “Homerun”
Audio Adrenaline – “Big House”

As you can see, I wasn’t kidding about a the time line. Amy Grant and Scott Wesley’s songs were both released before my time, and then Shawn MacDonold’s “Captivated” came out just this year. Anyway, regardless of your age, you’ll probably find something you can enjoy. I know James really likes Edison Glass, and I’m glad to see Audio Adrenaline’s “Big House” on the list. That’s just a classic.

To access the downloads, you’ll need to be a HearItFirst member and be signed in. Then you can pick & download the mp3s you want. Happy listening!  (Oh, and happy birthday HearItFirst!)
