song of songs, which is

Video below is of Jeremy Camp doing a cover of (what I thought was) By the Tree's "Beautiful One" (skip to the 2:00 mark to actually get past the intros). A quick google search finds that the song is from Camp's album released in 2004. How's that possible? The song was released by By the Tree in 2004 as well. Another google search tells me the author is actually some guy named Tim Hughes -- but he released the song in 2004 also!

I call a moratorium on Christian artists doing covers of already popular songs that have been released in the last five years. This is getting out of hand. If you run out of ideas, go cover a hymn. Except you, Amy Grant. You just go away.

CCM just put out their last Magazine ever. In it was a tribute to "Contemporary Christian" artists who paved the way, Toby Mac, Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith. Steven Curtis Chapman....yadda yadda

The main article was written by the guy who has been in charge of the magazine, and he shares some theory's as to how there will be no such thing as contemporary Christian music soon and how it is dying out. Great way to end the mag, transparent honesty.
