For The Family
Introduction I thought it might be fun to create a playlist of family-related songs, possibly veering towards progressive, and artists who are my favourites. So it may be the song title or the artist's name, obviously Family have to be in there, though they have an entry of their own in my Beat stories here:

The Movie vs. The Movement: Learning from Jesus Revolution
A Film That Sparked Nostalgia In 2023, the release of the film Jesus Revolution brought the story of Pastor Chuck Smith, Greg Laurie, and Lonnie Frisbee to the big screen. For many, it was a fresh reminder of a time when the church cracked open its doors to an unlikely group of barefoot seekers. The movie became more than a faith-based film; it was a cultural moment that reignited conversations about revival.

Music at the Margins: Why the Church Needs Outsiders to Lead Revival
God Moves at the Edges History makes one truth clear: revival rarely begins at the center of power. It begins at the margins, among those dismissed, overlooked, or rejected by polite society.

Brandon Lake’s Sevens: A Prophetic Anthem of the Jesus Revolution 2.0
Introduction: The Sound of Truth When the first riff of Brandon Lake’s Sevens from his King of Hearts album drops, it doesn’t feel like the start of a worship set — it feels like a revolution. 🔥 The guitars roar, the drums thunder, and the lyrics cut straight to the heart. This isn’t polished background music for Sunday morning; it’s prophetic fire wrapped in heavy rock. And that’s the point.

Spin Like An Egyptian
Introduction On Thursday, I was in Preston and bought a vinyl copy of "Desire" by Bob Dylan from Action Records, which contains a plethora of excellent songs. "Joey" contains a couplet that perfectly describes me:

Lil Nas X: The Musical Revolutionary Who Changed Everything
You know that feeling when a song comes on and you instantly know it's going to be stuck in your head for weeks? That's exactly what happened when "Old Town Road" first hit the airwaves back in 2018. But behind that catchy tune was a young man from Georgia who was about to flip the music industry on its head – and he was just getting started.

Summer Without a Soundtrack: Why 2025 Feels Like ‘Brain Rot Season’
Every summer has a mood. In some years, it’s defined by a blockbuster movie, a chart-topping anthem, or even a cultural trend that captures the collective imagination. Think of the era of “Hot Girl Summer,” or the way Barbie and Oppenheimer collided to create the “Barbenheimer” trend in 2023. These moments weren’t just fun; they were shared cultural connections that gave summer its flavor.

Progressively Covered
Introduction I wanted to do a playlist of progressive music that was maybe a littel different, and then remembered that Yes had covered Simon and Garfunkel's "America", and thought what about some unexpected covers of songs by artists that could be classed in the Progressive Universe, and four immediately came to mind.

Introduction I haven't done much in BEAT for a bit, and despite being a Top Creator in the community, I have not had a Top Story for years, despite getting a lot of reads outside of Vocal, but they don't seem to like my taste in music any more, I am obviously too good for them 🤡.
