Casting Crowns

สำรวจชีตเปียโนโดย Casting Crowns บน Zen Virtual Piano Mark Hall was a youth minister in Daytona Beach, Florida, when Casting Crowns formed, and the band's sound developed as it led Wednesday night worship for the youth group. An expanded version of the group released two independent albums that were well received in the Atlanta area. A sound that grew out of weekly worship rather than a studio, and albums that were well received nearby, hint at music made first for a particular room of people. In the summer of 2003 a country music artist started a small boutique label and signed Casting Crowns, a band not yet widely known, as its first act, as CrossRhythms tells it. Per AllMusic, Beach Street Records, a division of Reunion Records distributed through the Provident Label Group, was Miller's new label; he signed the band there and brought in Steven Curtis Chapman as co-producer for the studio sessions. The resulting album, Casting Crowns, came out in 2003 on the Beach Street imprint. A new label's first signing, placed beside a better known co-producer, makes the band's start feel like a shared bet. Mark Hall wrote Who Am I. The song, produced by Mark A. Miller and Steven Curtis Chapman, was the second single from the band's self-titled 2003 debut album, and it came out on February 22, 2004. Hall told Christian Today he was riding back from a holiday in the car, with his children and his wife Melanie asleep, thinking that it was just him and Jesus having time together, when he began to get a picture of how small he is. A song titled as a question and begun in a moment of feeling small suggests writing that started as private reflection rather than a plan for an audience. He says that many of his songs are written alone in the car, because as a youth pastor he is always around people and the car is the only place he is by himself. A song begun on a quiet drive suggests that the car gave Hall space that a busy week did not. Who Am I is a pop rock and adult contemporary ballad built around the piano and using orchestral sounds, and it won Song of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year at the 36th GMA Dove Awards. Hall told CrossRhythms that he is a youth pastor before he is an artist and that music is, for him, the tool that earns the right to talk to someone about something eternal. A musician who puts the pastor's role ahead of the artist's suggests songs written to serve a purpose beyond the charts. The band could be booked all 52 weekends of the year, yet it chooses to be home every other Sunday and every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Home days set aside in the touring schedule hint at how seriously the band treats its first community.
