Based on Colossians 1:16 and 1 Timothy 3:16, Isaac Watts proclaims the wonder of Christ’s two natures, fully God and fully man. From eternity, the Word existed with God and was God, the Creator and sustainer of all things. Yet in love, He took on flesh, humbling Himself to dwell among us.

This hymn marvels at that great mystery: the eternal Son clothed in clay, shining with truth and grace, drawing angels to awe and sinners to worship. The retuned melody seeks to carry the weight and wonder of these truths, helping us sing with reverence and joy of our Immanuel, God with us.

“Mortals with joy behold his face,
The eternal Father’s only Son!”

Glories of Immanuel

Brass on the Cobblestones captures the heart of Brackenford’s streets, where lively brass bands once echoed off old stone walls during fairs and feasts.

Think of it as the sound of neighbors gathering, feet tapping on uneven stones, and joy spilling into the night.

Part of the Tinkus & Tonkus album, the song is rooted in the town’s folklore but feels right at home today — celebratory, communal, and just a little rough around the edges, like a true street tune.

The Tinker’s Oath tells the story of Brackenford’s wandering craftsmen — the tinkers who roamed from cottage to cottage, mending pots, pans, and hearts with equal measure of skill and humor. Tradition says every tinker swore a simple oath: to leave each home better than they found it.

This track on the Tinkus & Tonkus album captures that vow with steady rhythm and folk grit. The music carries the sound of hammers, wheels, and road songs, blending age-old lore with a fresh arrangement. It’s both a tribute to the humble tradesmen of old and an anthem for anyone who walks the road determined to do good.

The Pocket Watch Waltz is a dance with time itself. In Brackenford folklore, it was played at autumn gatherings when townsfolk would mark the turning of the seasons by setting their watches — or in older days, the town clock — to the rhythm of the fiddles. The waltz carries both nostalgia and momentum, reminding dancers that while hours slip away, joy is best measured in steps and laughter.

On the Tinkus & Tonkus album, this tune takes that tradition and spins it anew. It’s music for memory, motion, and the fleeting beauty of the moment.

When the Gears Stop Turning reflects Brackenford’s industrial years, when the hum of mills and the grind of gears filled the air.

Quiet After the Bell captures the hush that settles over Brackenford when the market closes and the church bell tolls the evening hour. Stalls are packed away, laughter fades down cobbled lanes, and the town exhales into a gentle stillness. It’s the sound of rest after labor, of peace found in the ordinary close of day.

On the Tinkus & Tonkus album, this track leans into that calm; soft melodies, spacious harmonies, and a lingering echo that feels like dusk itself. It’s not just silence, but a silence alive with meaning: the quiet where gratitude, memory, and hope take root.

Quiet After The Bell

When the band first formed in the cellar of McPhilbob’s parents’ home, they had no idea what they were getting themselves into.  They believed that nothing happens by chance and that God had given them a soapbox for a reason to impact the lives of people around the world.  Above all, their ultimate goal was to glorify God in everything that they do.  They believed that they are the greatest band of all time because they represent the greatest of all time, Jesus Christ.
