Blast From The Past. Name That Song – Level 2!

BlastFromThePast_330x160

I know, I know. Last week’s Skillet quiz was way too easy for you guys- not to mention everyone could see everyone else’s answers in the comments. lol I guess I didn’t completely think through that part of it. HOWEVER- we’ve got another round for you this week that will hopefully be a bit more hardcore.

Here’s why:

(1) I’m only streaming 10 seconds of each song- that way you really have to know your stuff to figure out which one it is. Plus I made sure to keep out the giveaway parts of each song- for example- on “Best Kept Secret” that would be the part where John sings “You’re The Best Kept Secret!” over an over again…

(2) Instead of sending your answers in a comment for everyone else to see, we’d like you to send it to us in a direct Twitter message (Twitter.com/freeccm). If you don’t have Twitter and are not interested in jumping on it, you can also email your answers to us (freeccmcontest@gmail.com).

(3) Well, this doesn’t really have anything to do with anything, but I stumbled across this old school Skillet music video the other day and just wanted to throw it up here for fun.

We’ll have another round next week that will be even more difficult, so I’m excited to see how many of you make it to the end. I might do 2 second clips or something ;) Also, don’t forget about Skillet’s special sale on iTunes right now for all of their music from “The Early Years.” Click here to go check it out!

Alright, enough talk- here it is:

Name that song!

I have randomly selected 3 clips from past Skillet albums- Listen to each one below and name the song and album title it comes from.

“Light Up The Sky” Contest

MikaelaPhoto_3_330x200

Hey friends, Intern Mikaela here.

I’m not from Nashville and I must say, ya’ll have some confusing weather around here. I mean, it will be a scorching 99 degrees outside and then start pouring rain within a 5 minute span. Weird.

Anyways, Nashville makes up for it by having some pretty awesome sunsets.  Recently, every time I’ve seen a sunset, or the unfortunate times when I’ve been awake early enough to catch the sunrise, I’ve thought of The After’s new song, Light Up The Sky. The chorus says “light, light, light up the sky, You light up the sky to show me You are with me.” I think it’s a great reminder that just like God faithfully provides a sunrise and sunset everyday, He is faithfully with us always, through good times and bad.

As a major photography lover, I try to take as many pictures of sunsets as possible.  After all, not one is the same, right?  Here are a couple of my favorite sunsets:

The first picture I took on an airplane from Peru, the second picture is off of my deck at my house in Austin, Texas, and the third picture is on a beach in Peru. All of this being said, I want to see your best pictures of a sunset or sunrise and the place where you took it! Email them to me at FreeCCMcontest@gmail.com.

In fact I’ll even randomly choose 5 people to win The Afters’ new album, “Light Up The Sky” before it hits stores! Not a photographer? That’s ok- you can still enter to win by simply leaving a comment on this blog post about your favorite song from the band. Sound good?

Don’t forget to go get The Afters’ new “EP on iTunes today!
