Ashes Remain has a new album releasing next month, and we can’t wait to share their music with you soon! Check out this video interview below with the guys in the band to get to know more about them and what went into the making of their new album, “What I’ve Become.”

“Let God just destroy me and break down everything that I think I am and that gets in my way when I’m trying to do my work as a follower of Christ. And let only the ‘Ashes Remain’ so that he is the only thing that people see.”

- Ben Kirk, Drums

A few weeks back we had the pleasure of getting to hang out with the boys from Ashes Remain. And although they were only in town for a short time, we absolutely did not let them leave without sitting down to talk about their new album on camera, so you could get to know them as well! In our first video interview episode frontman, Josh, talks about their single called “Everything Good” and what it means to him. The band hit the road this week to visit radio stations across the East coast to share their song & we’ll have a special inside look at their adventures along the way Be sure to follow the guys on Twitter and Facebook to keep up, and stay tuned with us for more fun with Ashes Remain.

Check out some photos from our hang out time with the band!

A few weeks back I got to meet a great up and coming new band called Ashes remain, and ever since I have been waiting in anticipation to get their new album which comes out later this summer. Emerging from Baltimore, MD, the guys were once named “Best Band In Baltimore” by Hard Rock Café, and have shared the stage with the likes of Jeremy Camp, Collective Soul, Family Force 5, Kutless, Red, Disciple, and TobyMac.

In addition to getting a taste of their musically hard driving pop rock sound, it was great to also get to see their incredible heart for the Lord and the ministry they live out through doing what they do. “We were built for this,” says frontman Josh Smith. “This is our place in what God is doing in this world.” There’s a song on the upcoming album that says “I’ll Be Right Here” and that is a commitment that the band strives to mirror with their fans and anyone they cross paths with in day to day life. Band member Ben Kirk explains, “It’s something we take very seriously. We can’t be off our game so to speak just because we are busy or have something else on our mind, we feel called to be available to our fans. Connecting with a kid who was one conversation away from attempting suicide has a way of reminding you that you never know what that person is going through that night.”

The song I get to share with you today though is called “Everything Good,” and it’s the first single off of the record and one of the band’s more uplifting songs. “This song is actually the flipside or brighter side of everything else on the record,” explains Josh. “Its hope & praising God when nothing makes sense. Like Paul singing praise songs while sitting in jail.”

Lead singer, Josh Smith, sat down to talk more about the song. Click below to hear what he had to say about the meaning, and then preview the clip.

“Everything Good” Lyrics

You are oxygen, on a late night drive
To clear my head when hope has passed me by
You are gravity, when I’m upside down
You help me find my way back to the ground
And this is why

You’re everything good, everything true
When all the world is fading, You’re everything new
You are my eyes, when I can’t see
When all the world is broken, You will always be
Everything good

You are all I have, and all I need
And all I am is what You’ve made of me
And this is why

You’re everything, good to me
You’re everything, that I need, that I need
