NEEDTOBREATHE is one of my favorite bands. Here's why.
1. They are incredibly talented. Their voices. All those instruments. Just woah.
2. Every song is amazing. You know how some artists just have one or two great songs and the rest are just meh? That's not the case here. Every song is good. Even the really old stuff.
3. Their sound is unique and varied. No song sounds exactly like another.
4. Their faith shines through. It's awesome to hear their Christianity naturally come out in their songs.
5. They have really great hair. That's important, okay?
6. They sound even better live.
|from the concert my sister and I went to last month in Dublin! Best. Day. Ever.|
7. The music videos are cool. You know it's a good music video if someone is wearing an astronaut suit.
8. Sometimes banjos and harmonicas are involved.
9. Their lyrics rock.
Even when the rain falls
Even when the flood starts rising
Even when the storm comes
I am washed by the water
10. You can listen to NEEDTOBREATHE all day and not get sick of it. I've tested this hypothesis.
11. Apparently, it's good music to write blog posts to. I've been listening to them this whole blog post long, and it's been a fabulous experience. You should try it.

I've just had a listen to them and oh my gosh they are so so good!! I think Wasteland is gonna be on repeat for the next few weeks! Thanks for the recommendation Hannah, I've got a feeling that they're gonna quickly become one of my favourite bands :)
ReplyDeleteHope you've had a lovely day!

Ahhh that's awesome! I'm so glad you like them, Nabeela! Thanks for commenting and telling me. :)
DeleteI'll definitely have to check this band out! I've been listening to Twenty One Pilots and I love them. If you haven't heard them, you definitely should give them a try.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are enjoying America! :)
I don't think I've ever listened to that band! I'll look them up! Thanks for the recommendation, girl. And thank you - America's been great so far! I'll post about it again soon! :)
DeleteGahh I love NEEDTOBREATHE, and these are perfectly perfect reasons why everyone should listen to them! :)
ReplyDeleteYay! You like them, too! Thanks girl :)
DeleteHair is definitely important. ;-) I've heard a few of their songs, and I like them, but generally that isn't my favorite kind of music.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's so exciting that you got to see them live! Going to a concert by your favorite music group is one of the coolest things ever. This spring I got to see Celtic Woman live....SO amazing!

I can definitely see why not everyone would like their sound! But ooo...Celtic Woman! That must have been incredible! Yes, it is such a great experience to see favorite artists play live.
DeleteThanks for commenting, Emma!
I love NeedtoBreathe!! "Brother" is one of my absolute favorites. :]
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love that one, too!!
DeleteWhat a fun fun post! YAY TO ALL THE LISTS.
ReplyDeleteThey have great music, and you can tell they genuinely love their Creator. ;)
YES LISTS THANK YOU. You're right, you can :)
DeleteYou are about six hours away from me! Can you come through St. Louis?

DeleteI wish we could, Clara, but I don't think we're heading that way! :( That would've been really fun. Maybe another time! I've always wanted to see St. Louis.
DeleteThank you so much for the nomination!!
I just "discovered" NEEDTOBREATHE recently because Switchfoot is playing a show with them this summer in Boston that I realllyy wanna go to. But I had never heard anything by NeedToBreathe. Now I am totally going to check them out! They sound fabulous. And the hair thing? I totally agree. It's important. Thank you for sharing this, girl! Hope you and your family are doing good! Enjoy Chicago :)
ReplyDeleteOooo, Switchfoot AND NEEDTOBREATHE? That would be an incredible concert! If you check them out, let me know what you think of them!
DeleteThanks, Katie!! I hope you've been enjoying your summer, too!
A woman after my own heart, I see. :-) Needtobreathe is pretty much my favorite band. Has been ever since THE HEAT. You're right, they do sound awesome live. I saw them in Baton Rouge last year and had a blast! At one point, Bear and Bo performed "Brother" with nothing but an acoustic guitar to back them up, and you know what? I liked that better than the recorded version. I don't know of a whole lot of artists who could pull that off.
ReplyDeleteBesides Needtobreathe, I've been listening to Damien Rice a lot lately. I'm just a wee bit obsessed with his songs "I Don't Want to Change You" and "My Favorite Faded Fantasy." I've also recently taken a liking to The Civil Wars, a year too late, it seems. :-(
Aren't they just so good live? I agree, I think they're the very best live and acoustic! So great. I'll have to check out those songs you mentioned!
DeleteOooh. I've never heard of NEEDTOBREATHE before, but they sound amazing. And I'm always looking (like quite a ravenous animal) for new music!! So thank you for sharing this. AND YES TO HAIR. <3 Ahemm.... Have fun in Chicago!! I hope you get to Skype with your kitties soon! :D
ReplyDeletelove,
abbie
Yay! You should check them out, I think you'd really like them. HAIR IS IMPORTANT. And thanks, Abbie!!
DeleteI've heard of NEEDTOBREATH, but I've never listened to their music. But they sound like they're an awesome band, I'll check it out! Lately I've been enjoying some acoustic guitar pieces, and some older songs by Imagine Dragons and One Republic.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to let you know that I tagged you for the Infinity Blog Award over at my blog, http://oyescribes.blogspot.com/ if you're interested!
