Life Is Beautiful, is the 12 track project follow up album to the band’s 2010 ‘Light Up the Sky. More than two years after that album’s twin radio single hits ‘Light Up The Sky’, and ‘Lift Me Up’ their new studio album draws inspiration from the encouraging promise that God is continuously with us and life is still beautiful no matter what challenges we face.
The Texas based foursome comprised of vocalist-guitarist Josh Havens, guitarist-vocalist Matt Fuqua, bassist Dan Ostebo and drummer Jordan Mohilowski quotes James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change,” (ESV) as a major source of inspiration for this album.
Their hope for the record is that it will encourage people to see how God is working in their lives - not just on the sunny days, but in what no matter what we go through in life. ‘Life Is Beautiful’ began with challenging questions the band members posed to themselves, and a commitment be honest with their audience by sharing things that are personal and meaningful.
Says singer and guitarist, Josh Havens, "We wanted something strong, upbeat and positive… We're reminded every day of how many bad things there are in life, so we wanted to write a reminder of how much God is capable of doing." If you think you've heard the title track somewhere before, it's the uplifting theme song for the life affirming DVD move, 'October Baby'.
