Skillet
The Weekly Downloads: Nov. 10 ~ 17
Wow, another week has come and gone – and with it, another nice long list of free song downloads. Actually, I’m quite happy with this week’s selection, especially the Vota download – “Honestly” might honestly be the best song I’ve heard from them. Anyway, let’s get this party started!
First up, an artist I know lots of people will be excited about: Skillet! FreeCCM.com has their song “It’s Not Me It’s You” available now, and it’s aggressive, loud, rocking, & well, it’s Skillet.

Gospel Music Channel actually has two new songs this week (either that, or I’m just a week behind, I’m not sure.) Either way though, you can download the radio edit of Byron Cage’s song “Faithful to Believe” and Claude Deuce’s Christmas song “Every Day Is Christmas” for free.

Speaking of Christmas music, iTicket’s has Kari Jobe’s song “Adore Him” from the Christmas compilation Worship And Adore: A Christmas Offering, plus a free song from Josh Wilson’s new EP, a whimsical love song called “How to Fall”. Both a well worth downloading if you ask me.

If you don’t have Sara Groves’ new song “Different Kinds of Happy” yet, you’ve got another chance to download it this week from New Release Tuesday. I don’t know about you, but I really like the artwork for Sara’s new album, somehow, it fits.

As I mentioned earlier, Vota’s song “Honestly” is one of the downloads available this week for free, and it’s my favorite of all the available songs. It’s a slow, piano driven song, it’s just open, and raw, and honest, and beautiful. I highly recommend this one.

Wrapping it up with week, VideoRocket has a free download of KJ-52’s latest, “He Did That”, which happens to feature some of the best breaking dancing I’ve seen in a long time. I wish I could do that…
Free Song from Skillet
Not too long ago, Matt had posted a poll asking for the album releases everyone was looking forward to this year. At the end of the voting, Skillet’s Awake had came in second. Well, for those of you who voted for Skillet, I’ve got some good news for you (unless you’ve gone off and bought the album already). For a week or so, you can download the song “Never Surrender” off of Tangle’s homepage. Be sure you get a chance to visit Tangle, and to get your free download from Skillet.

Free Christian Music updates
Today is Tuesday, and every Tuesday several different sites update music downloads. NewReleaseTuesday.com and iTickets.com both update their sites for free music. Tangle.com and GospelMusicChannel.com also both update their sites for a free download weekly, but that sometimes happens around Tuesday-Friday. As well as those sites, FreeCCM.com, NOTW.com and MusicChristian.com also updates their free downloads every now and then (usually monthly). I advise that all of you put all these links in your bookmarks and check them every so often so that you don’t miss any free music, just in case if we don’t feature them.
Anyway, NewReleaseTuesday seems to keep up one song up for two weeks. They have “My Last Amen” by Downhere (also on JesusFreakHideout.com) and “Life Light Up” by Christy Nockels. “Life Light Up” was featured previously on her website, but that download is no longer available. It is available on Amazon.com as well.
iTickets has songs by Aieysha Woods, Brad and Rebekah Bichsel, and Misty Edwards. I have not heard of the last two artists until iTickets have featured them, but I do know Aieysha Woods. Both of the latter artists both seem to be worship artists, so if you’re worship music, be sure to get those at iTickets this week.

Tangle is featuring Travis Cottrell, a worship leader, on their homepage. You can pick up his song “To The King” on Tangle’s homepage. This was the download from last week, so you might want to pick this one up ASAP.

The GospelMusicChannel has a free download weekly. Most of the songs are from some artists I’ve never heard of, but lately they’ve had some good stuff from well known artists (Hillsong United, Jonny Diaz, Israel Houghton, Philmont, and Abandon). Currently, they have a song from the band VOTA, formerly known as Casting Pearls. They had changed their name to reduce confusion between them and the ever-so popular Casting Crowns. The song is ‘I’ll Go’, and it is currently their single on Christian Contemporary Hit Radio music charts (Christian CHR). It’s a very catchy-upbeat song that I hope you’ll like.

FreeCCM has a couple of free songs by Addison Road, Jonny Diaz, Chris Rice, Skillet, and Darlene Zschech. I don’t know how many songs I’ve gotten from Addison Road, Skillet, and Chris Rice on FreeCCM. I’ve almost completed Addison Road’s entire album thanks to free downloads. Anyway, FreeCCM might be updating their site soon, since it seems like change out songs monthly. Be sure you pick those up soon.
Not Of This World, abbreviated as NOTW, is a good source of some more alternative Christian rock music. They usually update their site monthly, but they have not had any new songs up for over a month and a half. Anyway, they have “Back To The Five” by Ruth and “Providence” by Abandon (also on Tangle.com/abandontx)
-Notw.com-
Last but certainly not least, MusicChristian.com has free downloads every so often it seems. Previously, they had “Fill This Place” by Press Play and Lanae’ Hale’s Back and Forth. Today, they have three free songs from new artist Tal & Acacia, a pop sister- duo from Portland, Oregon.
Unexpected Sources of Free Music – Part 1
I know this isn’t totally free, but when a friend emailed me about this, I knew I had to feature it…
ChristianBook.com is got Absolute Smash Hits Volumes 1 & 2, a four disc CD se
t (think a WOW Hits clone), on sale for $5.99. That’s 50 songs for 6 bucks. 50 songs! That’s 8.3472454090150250417362270450751* cents per song. That’s approximately 91 cents cheaper per song then iTunes. Not bad at all, for a collection of some of Christian music’s greatest hits. In fact, it’s a steal. Not as good as free, but almost.
Of course there has to be a downside. In this case it’s the selection. It’s almost all somewhat under-the-radar artists CCM artists. The loudest it get’s in 12 Stones and Skillet. But, that maybe perfect for you, in which case that would be a plus and not a minus. So, anyway, it’s worth checking out.

Update From FreeCCM.com
Hey everyone, this isn’t Matt. My name is James, and I will be helping Matt out by bringing you free music whenever he is unable to.
Now that that introduction is over, lets get to the free music. FreeCCM.com has four free downloads for your listening pleasure. The featured download there is “Shine With Me” by POD, which you might have picked up a few weeks ago (from this post), but if you didn’t get it then, you should head over to FreeCCM and pick it up. Rounding out the free songs are “Falling Inside The Black” by Skillet, “I Will See Jesus” by Mark Harris, and “Be Thou My Vision” by Sandi Patty. Both the POD and Skillet tracks are solid songs by those bands, and though I’m not a big fan of Christian Contemporary, both Mark Harris and Sandi Patty have good songs that those of you who are CCM fans should enjoy.
Skillet Free Song Download
Free music today from Skillet. You can download the song “Imperfection” for free on the pre-order page deal for Skillet’s last CD, Collide. The song is a hard-hitting look at human imperfection. Great for hard rock fans. I’ve actually had this song for quite a while, but only just rediscovered the link thanks to CCMSingles. Enjoy!
5 Sites: If You’re Not Signed-Up, You’re Missing Out
Over the years I’ve come across quite a few good sites with free and legal Christian music, but occasionally, I’ve found some great sites. Sites you have to join access. And it’s worth it. This is a list of my favorite members-only free music sites.
(It will probable be changed from time to time, so be sure to bookmark this page!)
5. MySpace.com – Despite user security issues, if you want to access the music stored on MySpace, you’ll need an account. Personally, I have a “junk” account that I use to download songs. Just make sure to talk to your parents about it.
4. FreeCCM.com – The only record label-run site to update it’s selection occasionally. Right now, it has music from The Afters, Addison Road, Laura Story. Previously it’s had Skillet, Disciple, MercyMe, and more. Definitely a site to watch.
3. iTickets – Since MyFreeMusicFriday is pretty much dead, I’ve decided to replace them with new comers iTickets. They are giving away one song a week to all iTickets members. Sign-up is a pain, but after that it’s easy to get the music, lyrics, and concert info.
2. The Free Christian Music Blog – Umm, this is a bit awkward, but even if I didn’t run it, I would still recommend it. I usually post once daily, with any style of music possible. Sign-up box is on the right at the top of the page.
1. HearItFirst.com – One of the oldest and best site for Christian music. You have got to sign-up for the mailing list. Once a week they’ll send you a free song to your inbox. I just got Sanctus Real’s “We Need Each Other” free, just for being a member. Admittedly, the website is confusing, but in this case the pros (music) out weight the cons (annoyances).
