Glad to have found your site as I also enjoy Paste magazine. <BR/><BR/>Could you point me in the direction of other musicians who exhibit similar qualities that Innocence Mission do. I'm looking for music that contains a Christian steeped atmosphere like the Innocence Mission creates so well. I'm also looking Christain music of the sort found on Innocence Mission's Christ is our Hope.<BR/><BR/>I think what I appreciate about the Innocence mission is their subtlety and attention to detail. I hope you can direct me more of the same.<BR/><BR/>Glad to have found your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1145562932475621512006-04-20T15:55:00.000-04:002006-04-20T15:55:00.000-04:00This is weird- I've been on vacation for this week...This is weird- I've been on vacation for this week and whilst driving home today- I was listening to a mix cd that included all the songs form IM's album "Christ is my hope" as well As Sufjan's "Seven Swans" They go together perfectly. Kathleen insists on going to sleep to their music every night. You can get their prolific Indy releases off their web-site.<BR/><BR/>Much reccommended!Jeff Cannellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03232703856341377295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1145469651762591452006-04-19T14:00:00.000-04:002006-04-19T14:00:00.000-04:00Karen, the song that worked that way for us when m...Karen, the song that worked that way for us when my daughter Emily/Katryn was a toddler was called "True Confessions" by Tonio K. She used to request it every time we got in the car, and would sing along, loudly, at every opportunity to: "It's a jungle out there/It used to be a garden/But the times got tough/Now all those innocent hearts have hardened."<BR/><BR/>It was always interesting hearing someone in a carseat bellowing that.Andy Whitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010130934552315074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1145467197870244362006-04-19T13:19:00.000-04:002006-04-19T13:19:00.000-04:00I just hosted a "Can you describe the Innocence Mi...I just hosted a "Can you describe the Innocence Mission's music?" contest.

We got to the show a little late to find that they due to lack of ticket sales all 20-30 people got to sit in a circle around them while they played an acoustic show. Not sure what I paid for that show but, come to think of it, I would have paid triple. Other favorite song of theirs "Wonder Of Birds".....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1145446719866391132006-04-19T07:38:00.000-04:002006-04-19T07:38:00.000-04:00i love the innocense mission. when simon was a bab...i love the innocense mission. when simon was a baby (till about 4 years old), the one cd that would calm him down and help him nap in the car (while on a trip) was their 'christ is my hope' cd. he called it "a calmer song". when he was an infant we had to play it continuously or he would start crying.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03873045531201669483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1145413402153465602006-04-18T22:23:00.000-04:002006-04-18T22:23:00.000-04:00That's as sparse as the innocence mission comes. ...That's as sparse as the innocence mission comes.

Ms. Peris really reminds me of her. Why? I guess it's the simple soft way she tells a story. <BR/><BR/>I met Sarah outside Fileen's Basement downtown Boston while I was in college. She was busking and I had a few minutes to stop and listen. I picked up her CD before I hustled off to wherever I was heading. <BR/><BR/>Just like you, I didn't know what she was singing about but the way she sang it made me want to figure it out. I couldn't put the CD down for about 2 years, and I always stopped to listen when she was playing. <BR/><BR/>Wonder where she is now?????KarlandBethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15940406452375461309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1145390893886986892006-04-18T16:08:00.000-04:002006-04-18T16:08:00.000-04:00I heart Innocense Mission.
