    Interview with The Original basic Band

    We have a SPECIAL EDITION of basicmm radio for you today! This past week we caught up with three of the original other four members of basic (including Greg's sister, Tara - the original "s" in basic!) It's a pretty entertaining conversation about where everyone is these days, and remembering some funny moments in our time together as the original basic band! We also included two songs from a video we found taken during a youth rally at the Clarence Church of Christ in April 1996! The lyrics and links to those songs are below. Thanks for listening! Don't forget to pick up these songs at the iTunes Music Store after hearing them here! Enjoy the interview! As I Hear Your Voice (1995) As I hear Your voice softly whisper, "Child, Come spend some time with me" I go, but then I falter Doing only that which pleases me Why do I lose my focus? Doing the things I don't want to You know my aim, my hope is Only pleasing, loving You (Chorus) My Lord, My God, My King You are my everything And right now as I sing My humble praise is all I can bring My Lord I know where I stand My eyes can't even meet your feet But still you call my name, and Lift me so our eyes can meet Oh how undeserving I'm a sinner saved by grace In my walk I am swerving But your Spirit leads me straight (Chorus 2X) Words & Music: Greg Campbell Copyright © 1995 Greg Campbell.

What You Say (1995) You say you're going nowhere And fast, you don't know how But you gotta get off this crazy carousel You say you don't know when But you know you want it to end But you go around and round again CHORUS He wants to free you from the Things that are binding you and Give you the peace that only he can give You say you'll never leave me And not a thing can separate me From the love in you You say that I have loved Because of the love first shown me All I need my God, Oh, is your love You want to free me from the Things that are binding me and Give me the peace that only You can give Words & Music: Greg Campbell Copyright © 1995 Greg Campbell.

    The Mountain To The Sea

    This week's edition of basicmm radio features a conversation with the inspiration behind one of the songs on our Come As You Are CD, The Mountain To The Sea. Chris Irwin is a friend who has a funny story about this particular song. :-) It's a different sort of show, hope you enjoy! The song was recorded at a coffee house in Victor, NY in 2003. The lyrics are included below, and you can click the iTunes button below to purchase the individual track directly from iTunes. Or, you can grab the whole album for only $9.99! Good deal! Thanks for listening! See ya next time! Greg & Jen C (from the road!) The Mountain To The Sea (1995) Dancin' on the hilltops Following the mountain to the shore All the way you stop to wonder Will I see this mountain anymore? Such a calm and peaceful place You don't want to leave it but you know There will be many mountains you will see As you reach the shore you notice A wide and open raging sea "Can this be the way to go now Is this sea calling to me?" Though the waters rage around you You press on 'cause you can see There will be another mountain there for me On this path of life we go through many stormy Seas not knowing when we'll reach dry land But looking back just reminds us of where we used to be Not where we're going to be Pressing on toward the goal of our lives we will Reach that final mountain top, there with Him Following the path to heaven Stormy seas come and they go But mountains interrupt their madness A sturdy peaceful place to go There is one last mighty mountain A final mountain for your soul There will be the greatest mountain we will see Words & Music: Greg Campbell Copyright © 1995 Greg Campbell.

    Faith To Be My Eyes

    It's not always easy to really trust God, and not worry about the things we see around us. In our lives, finances have often been so tight that they truly test our faith in God to provide. That has been the case over the last months, and was definitely true when I wrote the song, Faith To Be My Eyes. The song was recorded through a little 4-channel 80-watt power amp to a cassette deck two years ago on Nov 21, 2003. So, the audio quality is not great. The song is a great reminder for me to trust what I know about God, rather than what I see around me. That's harder to do sometimes. But we know that He does not change, and that allows us to "walk by faith, and not by sight". The lyrics of the song are below. Faith To Be My Eyes has not been recorded on a studio album yet. It is slated for a future release currently title, "Reach". There are no concrete plans for when that might be released. After 2007, I'd say. So, you can enjoy this pre-release version for quite some time. :-) As always, thanks for listening. Catch ya next time. :-) Faith To Be My Eyes (2003) Why is it that I can trust you When I’ve got my ducks in a row? But when anything goes against me I wonder why you never showed What is this right to perfection That I feel my life must deserve? When my life gets a little harder I wonder where I made the wrong turn chorus I need to keep my eyes wide open And know that you never change Don’t let my worrying heart take over I need my faith to be my eyes We have this misconception That bad things mean something’s wrong But I have learned from example That you can turn bad into good This pain is just temporary Though right now it overwhelms me Please train my eyes to focus On your faithfulness to me bridge Walk by faith, and not by sight We’ve heard those words before tonight… But when our world is fallin in on us That’s when they really can take flight… Keep my eyes off circumstances And let me focus in on you My worryin heart is prone to dancin With every new point of view But every new day is full of chances To rip off the blinders and gaze into The world of faith that can be before me Knowing that you always come through Keep my eyes on you - - - I need my faith to be my eyesWords & Music by: Greg Campbell Copyright © 2003 basic music ministries.

    Local Artist Showcase

    Get to know basic on this edition of basicmm radio! A few years ago now, we did an interview on a show called "Local Artist Showcase" on the Family Life Network (a group of radio stations across NY and PA). I came across the CD recently, and am posting the show in its entirety here with their permission. The interview is done by Bruce Barrows, and includes our songs The One and My Visible See-Through Friend from our Come As You Are CD. Also, they featured another artist Wendy Gammon from Livonia, NY. Bonus! :-) We mentioned on the show that you can e-mail in song suggestions to the show and we'll see what we can dig up! Email us at info@basicmm.com. Also mentioned was that you can make a donation to basic via this website and PayPal. Your donations would certainly be appreciated, and probably won't be mentioned again. :-) Enjoy the show! Here are the two songs featured, along with a link to purchase the song from iTunes! The One (1997) buy this song at ---> I'm searchin' for somethin' real to me, I'm searchin' for nothin' that I see They say there's nothin' out there, They say that I'll go nowhere But I say... hey, I say... Chorus I want to know You better, Lord I want nothing less, nothing more I want to know you better... There's nothing new under the sun, nothing that hasn't already been done There's nothing new under the sun, Lord, I want to know the One Who made the land, who made the sea; who gave me life and now watches me From the tiny bird to the mountain, the desert refreshed by a fountain He made it all, it all is His, and He gives the life that I now live That made me, that formed me to be; that caught me, brought me to my knees I can not believe You loved me, hung on the cross thinkin' of me But now I sit here knowing the One who's known me the best since my life begun Words & Music: Greg Campbell Copyright © 1997 Greg Campbell. Admin by basic music ministries. All Rights Reserved. My Visible, See-Through Friend (2000) buy this song at ---> I can't feel your arms around me, but I know that they are there And I can't see your eyes lookin' at me, but I know they're everywhere And I can't even hear your voice, callin' out my name But deep inside my heart confirms you, and I know it just the same You speak the language of my heart, connecting with my soul And though it seems we're worlds apart, you have become my whole Life, my whole way of thinking, you cause my every move And deep inside my heart confirms you, cause my life has been made new chorus Oh, you have my heart, though I can't touch you And I know that I am yours - I feel it deep inside No storm can ever undo, the faith I have built in you My visible, see-through friend I did not get to see when you made the stars Was it all just for me, did you see so far Ahead, that I would see your face, lookin' back at me In all the things that you have made, sayin, "I have set you free!" bridge Can it be that just a man right here like me Can have a friend he can not see? Well friend I tell you that it's not these eyes that see It's the eyes of faith that have come - from seein' the things he has done Words & Music: Greg Campbell Copyright © 2000 Greg Campbell.

    1998

    The selections for this edition of basicmm radio come from a lost recording recently rediscovered in the Campbell house from the year 2003. We recorded a live show at Chesapeake Coffee Company in Victor, NY (a now-defunct coffee house) with a gathering of friends that made for a fun night. (listen for some great back-up vocals on Called Out Ones!) The interesting thing about the songs chosen is that they are the only two songs that I wrote in 1998. That was quite a break from the norm at that time! There were a lot of changes in my life that year, and so somehow I only wrote two songs, and both during the same week of camp in PA that summer! Crazy! Both songs are available for purchase on iTunes, click the links below to go directly to that song at the iTunes Music Store. (must have iTunes software installed on your computer. For the free download, click here) Wretched Man - Come As You Are (2002) Called Out Ones - Lord, Hear My Voice (2000) A few things to add to the podcast: I mentioned that Jen didn't want any part of music that first year we were married... it was true! That's why it was such a cool work of God that we ended up doing music full time! It wasn't something that I clung to, or that she wanted at all, and yet God made it clear that was where he wanted to use us. Amazing. Scriptures referenced here in this podcast: Eph 1:3-5, and Rom 7:15-25. Jen wanted me to point out that we discovered we were pregnant in April (or so) 1998, he was not born until Dec of 1998. :-) The camp mentioned was actually in PA. Was with some good friends of ours, Dave & Marie Drake. Jen likes it when I play guitar now. :-) Kyle Krenzer, who engineered the recording, has a website Enjoy the podcast! Here are the lyrics for the songs... Wretched Man (1998) There’s a war inside of me And I am the enemy It seems to take control And it’s starting to take its toll You said, “Be Holy, ‘cause I AM” I try, but I am just a man How can I bear the weight Of this one very tall command CHORUS Thanks be to God our Savior, Through Jesus Christ our Lord Thanks be to God our Savior Through Jesus Christ my Lord and King What a wretched man I am Fallin’ down on my face again Who can save me from this mess I’m in I don’t wanna be here again (chorus) How many times I’ve said I wont Just to turn around and choke On my own words killin’ me Oh, I just want to be set free (chorus) Called Out Ones (1998) You are the called out ones Chosen by the Father To be like His Son (2x) Before he made the world He chose you as His own Before you did a thing To take the love He’s shown It was God who made the loving sacrifice Calling out to you, “My child, take my life” And that’s why (all repeats of chorus - “We are the called out ones...”) Words & Music by: Greg Campbell © 1998 Greg Campbell - Wretched Man recorded on Come As You Are - © 2002 basic music ministries, Called Out Ones recorded on Lord Hear My Voice - © 2000 basic music ministries.
