Come Home

My dear friend Ellie Holcomb was on women's weekend doing special music and performed this song "Magnolia" that I have to be honest...not one of my favorites.

Until...she told the story behind writing it. (Isn't that the way it is?)
She said that "Magnolia" is a name that she uses for herself in songs. And the song is written from the perspective of God and how he longs to be with her. And how she busy's herself with a million other things all day long and the price that she pays for missing out on that relationship.

This is a love song from God to Ellie/Magnolia/You/Me.

(clearly sound quality is not super awesome cause I ain't no freakin' professional. Don't blame Ellie. Listen to the words and fill in the gaps. Or better yet-go listen to it on itunes after this!)

Now?
My new favorite song.
Seriously.

I haven't really stopped listening to Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors all summer long.
We really really love them and their music.

Go download A Million Miles TODAY. You won't regret it.
Especially Magnolia, The Valley, Love Will Bring You Home and from a different album Fire and Dynamite.

A Million Miles Away

While here at Crooked Creek, we are with musicians Drew and Ellie Holcomb. Let me just tell you that we have been blown away by their talent. TALENT people.

They are LEGIT. Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors have just released a new album called "A Million Miles Away" that is an acoustic album that they recorded because whenever they play YL camps-people hear them playing on just acoustic guitars rather than the "rock stars" that they normally are.

But it is a soulful, amazingly beautiful sound that will add so much to your life to have it playing in your car, at your house and on your ipod. Also, when these people make it big...you can say that you knew about them way back when. Trust me on this; it's gonna happen. Just take a listen to the song, "Mercy" on itunes and then tell yourself that you don't want the whole album. Or "Love Will Bring You Home" or "Hung the Moon" and try to not smile and love your spouse a little bit better or not fall in love all over again.

It's not going to happen.

It will be the best 9.99 that you will have spent on itunes in long time. I promise.
Here is the link to them on itunes:
