Matt Conner has a great interview with Third Day over on the CCM Blog. As everyone is anticipating the final availability and full release of their newest album “Revelation†this interview gives you even more reasons to be a fan of this tremendous group of guys.
“What was funny with this record is that we got everything we could have wanted,†says Anderson. “We’ve learned that the limitations that people feel for Christian music are self-imposed. We can prevent our own progression. If we could just be bold enough to go for what we really want, we might actually get it. We’ve learned this over the years. We wanted Brendan O’Brien [Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Train] to mix our albums for years, and we were told that it couldn’t happen. So finally, I just picked up the phone, called him myself and he said, ‘Oh yeah, I love the band. I’d love to do it.’ Along the way, people were just assuming he wouldn’t do it.
How many times do I (or you) apologize and limit ourselves for what we think is reality which in God’s reality isn’t what we’d expect at all for our lives?
