As Family We Go - Tour Playlist

🧭 Wenn das Leben ein Navi hat und es nur "Umleitung" sagt... |

Die Wahrheit, die keiner hören will:
Leben heißt Veränderung. Ja, danke für die Info, Universum! 🙄 Wir wissen alle, wie hart das ist. Manchmal steht man im Leben da und denkt: "Okay, ich starte jetzt durch!"... und 5 Minuten später stolpert man schon wieder. (Aber hey, der Trick ist ja, wieder aufzustehen – manchmal sogar schon am Start. Profi-Tipp!)

Die Storytelling-Challenge (AKA: Der Refrain):
Mal ehrlich: Am Ende bleiben nur Geschichten. Was erzählst du dir selbst? Bist du der Hauptdarsteller in der epischen Saga deines Lebens, oder die traurige Randfigur, die nur Popcorn hält (die Geschichte eines Narren)?

Wir haben uns alle schon mal ins Aus katapultiert oder an der falschen Ecke abgebogen. War vermutlich eine Abkürzung, die wir auf Google Maps nicht gesehen haben. 🤷‍♀️ Aber keine Sorge, es muss nicht immer strahlend sein! Wir schreiben unsere eigene Story, auch wenn sie Ecken und Kanten hat. Und hey, Risiko = Glück. (Vorsicht, könnte Spuren von echtem Leben enthalten.)

Fazit:
Ein Umweg ist nur eine sehr lange Abkürzung. Wenn du gerade auf einem steinigen Weg bist, dich fragst, wie du hierhergekommen bist, und dringend einen Soundtrack für deine nächste Wiederaufsteh-Aktion brauchst, bist du hier richtig.

Schreib deine Geschichte! Sie ist DEINE! 🎧

To understand what makes Rend Collective so unique and special among worship artists, you have to go back—way back. Some 1500 years ago, the Irish missionary St. Brendan sailed from the Irish coast without maps or any clue where he was headed. “The only thing he knew was that God had called him,” says bandleader and drummer Gareth Gilkeson. And so Brendan chose to “go”: a bold act of faith that not only echoes the album title As Family We Go, but also speaks volumes about the songs.

It also tells you a lot about Rend Collective, a Northern Irish band that has ventured from its native land at the beckoning of an invisible hand. And they’re doing it differently than most other artists before them, living and working—singing and sharing the laundry duties—as a tight-knit family. It’s just the foundation to foster faith and community through music, and forms the heart and strength behind their latest effort.

And my, how this musical family has grown. This young, freewheeling band has seen so much recent success: from opening for the likes of Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman and Kari Jobe, to landing Christian radio hits such as the revival hymn, “Build Your Kingdom Here.”

The next logical step, then, was to hunker down in their private studio and work at a brisk, breathtaking pace—cutting the eleven tracks on As Family We Go in two weeks. As Gilkeson puts it: “There wasn’t much time for sleep—just going for it.”

In this case, sleep deprivation yielded divine inspiration. Then again, how many bands brave a family pilgrimage the way Rend Collective does? Or proudly present themselves as examples of a self-styled genre, “celebration music”?

Though that describes the sound on the new disc—a joyful mélange of foot-stomping acoustic grooves and full-on pop pockets worthy of U2—it only hints at the spiritual thread that pulls everything together.

“We want to make music that is journey music,” says singer Chris Llewellyn. “We notice that sometimes music is seen as the end goal, that a worship encounter is having a music experience. But that’s not really it; it should be the soundtrack to mission: community living, the soundtrack to a meaningful worship experience.”
