Sleeping At Last
Free (Very Special) Song from Sleeping At Last
Not long ago, the band Sleeping at Last gave fans an opportunity of a lifetime – to appear in a Sleeping at Last song. All the band asked was that fans would send in short clips of themselves singing a single A# note, which were later compiled into a internet choir of sorts for an acoustic version of Sleeping at Last’s song “All This To Say”. The band had had over 70 people answer the call, including myself, and despite that, it still sounds downright amazing. 
Here’s a note from the band explaining the details and how to download the new version of the song for free:
“As you may already know, we recently asked folks to sing and record an “A#” note and send it to us, to be used in a new version of our song “All This To Say.” We got TONS of wonderful recordings sent to us from all over the world and all of ‘em were lovely! We were pleasantly surprised to hear so much “choir” talent in our listeners! Nice work, guys! Thanks so much to those of you that participated!
We’re excited to announce that as of right NOW, this exclusive version of “All This To Say” is available as a FREE* download for everyone!*Free with a tiny catch: In trade for the FREE song, we would very much appreciate your help in spreading the word about us!
… For those of you in the midwestern U.S., we would really appreciate your help spreading the word about our upcoming, Feb. 11th Chicago, IL. show (feat. strings!) via our Facebook Event. Just visit the following link and at the top right of the page, click on the “Invite People To Come” and invite your pals! A link to download the free song is on the page as well. Enjoy! http://bit.ly/FREESONG
… For those of you NOT in the area, we’d really appreciate you just telling your pals about us in some small way (via your Facebook or Twtter, etc. However you see fit!) After sharing, just visit the following page and there’s a link to download the song FREE! http://bit.ly/FREESONG
In past, we’ve asked that you report your Invites and Facebook/Twitter posts in order to get the free download, but you guys are wonderful people and we trust you! So the link’s just there on the event page for all to enjoy.”
The song really does sound nice, and I know I’m biased, but I think it’s definitely worth getting.
Free Sampler from Sleeping at Last
Free music today from Sleeping at Last. The band recently released a 6-song sampler through NoiseTrade, featuring three songs from Keep No Score (“Careful Hands, “Umbrellas”, and “Quicksand”) and three from the group’s latest, Storyboards (“Porcelain”, “Chandeliers”, and “Birdcage Religion”). If you’ve never heard Sleeping at Last, be prepared for some very different, very artistic, music. For me, I have to be in a certain mode to really enjoy the band. Maybe that’s true of you, and maybe it isn’t, either way though, they’re worth at least a listen.

You know what else is worth checking out? The band’s music videos for “Green Screens”. It’s different, but I think it shows what Sleeping at Last is really like. Enjoy!
Free Acoustic Sleeping at Last Song
Sleeping at Last recently sent out an email with information about how you can get a copy of a special, acoustic version of their song “Umbrellas”, recorded by the band “acoustically at our home, for fun. It’s a bare-boned, live version of the song with only a couple microphones, an acoustic guitar, our fav. upright piano and some singing.” The band is willing to email you a free copy of the song – with a catch. You can get all the details from the band’s blog, but I will say it involves Facebook. Curious? Check it out!
Free Album From Sleeping At Last
If you’ve been following this site for a while, you should be aware of NoiseTrade, a site started by Derek Webb, which features full albums, put up by artists themselves, for free. The catch is, you have to help promote the artist to 5 friends, or otherwise pay what you choose, in order to download the album. However, telling 5 friends about a group in exchange for a free album is what is known as a good deal. Especially with the many quality artists already on the site.
Which brings us to Sleeping At Last. They’ve recently put up their critically acclaimed album Keep No Score up for download on NoiseTrade. I think the best word to describe the album is beautiful. The instruments, the vocals, the imagery in the lyrics. But don’t like that stop all of you metalheads, etc, from downloading, or at least giving them a chance. You might find you like it. If you have to just hear a few tracks they have a link to their myspace. But hurry, because according to the band, it will only be up until the end of June.
Relevant Update
Did anyone else notice when Relevant Magazine took their free song page down a while back? I was pretty disappointed when I noticed that their epic list of free, legal, live, acoustic, song downloads was missing. Thankfully…
Relevant Magazine recently updated their website, and have put the same great list of downloads up, just on another URL. Same songs, different web page. If you haven’t download these yet, and live, acoustic performances by artists like Jars of Clay, Tenth Avenue North, Sara Groves, Pigeon John, and No More Kings sounds good to you, you don’t want to miss this. You can either link up here, or check out my old post for more information in my post about it.

Christmas Series: Day 12 – A Bit Of Everything
It’s Christmas Eve, and thanks to many reader suggestions, I have more then enough songs to finish up this year’s Christmas series. In fact, I’ve got so many left, this post is going to be predominately composed of links. This post is going to be a bit of a endurance event, so make sure you’ve got a while to dedicate to downloading. I kid you not, there is a TON of music to come. Brace yourself. Oh, yeah, and merry Christmas!
Let’s kick it off with Shane & Shane. They’ve got their song “Away in A Manger” available from Today’s Christian Woman. Actually, Mandisa, Sara Groves, and Casting Crowns all have songs on that site too.
Alli Rogers has a brand new Christmas EP up on NoiseTrade. It’s called The Silent Stars EP, and you can pay want you want for it, or get it for free by sharing it with 5 friends. Also on NoiseTrade is the Christmas edition of The Silent’s CD Unseen, featuring their version of “We Three Kings”. To top those two, you can also get a free compilation featuring songs from the Love Came Down A Christmas Time Tour. The sampler has songs from all 4 artists on the tour, Jars of Clay, Sixpence None the Richer, Sara Groves, and Leeland. Very cool. Check it here.
If that’s still not enough music for you, GodTube has got free Christmas songs from Travis Ryan, Rachel Scott, and Sara Groves, plus some other goodies. Then there’s two free songs from High Valley on the Centricity Record’s website. Leigh Nash has a free Christmas song on Download.com, Theocracy has a wild Christmas song called “Rudolph vs. Frosty” up on their website, and then there’s The Staple Singers, who have “No Room at the Inn” up on Download.com.

BarlowGirl, Jars of Clay, Chris Sligh, and Casting Crowns all have free mp3s available on CCM Magazine’s website.
I think Don Francisco wins the award for the most songs available. 21 on his website!
Even though it’s not a download, The Advantage has added a cool Christmas song to their MySpace profile. It’s called “Retail Christmas”, and it’s actually quite good. Here’s hoping they do a free download of it soon.
Brian Bate’s has an interesting free download. It works on a honor system – something you sadly don’t see much of any more. Anyway, the song is “Mary Christmas” and it’s available on his website.
Willet’s website, after being down for weeks, is finally up and running again with a free original Christmas song by the band. It’s called “The Nativity”, and looks pretty good.
Speaking of independent rock, the group The Violet Burning has got a full Christmas CD for free this year. It’s called Divine, and you can check that out on their website.
And, to close, Sleeping At Last has three Christmas downloads up on their Virb profile, plus one live song and another normal track.
Merry Christmas everyone!

There you have it, all 62 songs. That should pretty much speak for itself. It looks like hardcore/metal songs form the backbone of the sampler, but there’s enough “normal” music to make it worth while even if screaming isn’t your thing.
Now, there is one small problem. Like I said, Another Way To Fight Vol. 1 was created by a French website. So, the site is in French. Thankfully, thanks to Google’s handy Translator, the rest of us can read it too. Enjoy!
Free Song by Sleeping At Last
Today we have a free song by Sleeping at Last. This is a band I really like. I spent all my free time trying to figure out the still happening centering problem, so I don’t have time to describe the song for you, but I do recommend giving them a listen.

MASSIVE Amount of Free Live, Acoustic Mp3s
Free music today courtesy of Relevant Magazine, and specifically, their podcast. They have approximately 60 (give or take) free songs, all of which were recorded live in their studios. The majority are acoustic, but there are a few “normal” songs, specifically by Pigeon John and The Procussions. I wasn’t sure what a live, semi-acoustic rap would sound like, but it’s really pretty good. As expected, artists like Sara Groves, Phil Wickham, Derek Webb, and Andrew Peterson sound as good unplugged as plugged in.
There are also quite a few new, indie artists on the site as well. A couple to watch out for are Band Marino and No More Kings. And if indie isn’t exactly your favorite thing in the world, there’s plenty of staples like Jars of Clay, Leeland, Dizmas, NEEDTOBREATHE, and David Crowder*Band. Just about something for everyone. Enjoy!
Edit: Relevant has moved their list of free songs to a new page on their site, get the details on that here.
New Music on Soul-Audio
Since I last featured Soul-Audio, they have added four new mp3s from Anthony Evans, Jon Foreman, Lyrycyst, featuring Rachel Lampa, plus a remix by Soul P. That’s in addition to the seven free downloads already on the site from artist’s like Ever Stays Red, Alli Rogers, and Hello Kelly. Definitely worth checking out.
