Brand New “Song Story” Videos

– May 13, 2010Posted in: Misc

Hi friends,

Many of you have watched my “EPK” video (Electronic press kit – meaning, a video piece that gives you a window into my heart and music). Following that, we filmed ‘song story videos’ for each song on my new album “Eternity Invades”.

So the videos tell you what was going on in my heart and life, that caused me to write each song. I also play a bit of the song acoustically too.

This is the first Song Story, and it’s about Break our Hearts, one of my favourite songs on the album. It’s a song about social justice, about us needing to live the lyrics we sing and be the hands and feet of Jesus.

Hope you enjoy it :)

Here are the lyrics… I wrote them as a challenge to myself, and I hope they are a challenge to all of us.

—————————-

Break Our Hearts

It’s time for us  to live the songs we sing
And turn our good intentions into action
To bring the kind of worship you desire
And move beyond our self-absorbed distractions

The mountains are shaking
Could this be a great awakening?

Break our hearts
With the things that break Yours
Wake us up to see through Your eyes
Break our hearts
With the things that break yours
And send us out to shine in the darkness

It’s time to move outside our comfort zone
To see beyond our churches and our homes
To change the way we think and how we spend
Until we look like Jesus again

The mountains are shaking
Could this be a great awakening?

Break our hearts
With the things that break Yours
Wake us up to see through Your eyes
Break our hearts
With the things that break yours
And send us out to shine in the darkness

Here I am, send me
To be Your hands and feet
Here I am, send me, I will go
———————————-

What are your thoughts on the relationship between worship and justice? Do you think that its enough to sing things to God, or do we need to live it out too? Do you see that in specific parts of the Bible? How are you trying to live out your worship through your lifestyle choices?

Love,

Vicky

Vicky’s Video Shoot in London!

– January 23, 2010Posted in: Technology

Hi friends!

Yesterday I spent the day in central London with a camera crew and my manager Wendy, filming a video piece to go with my new EP and album! It was bucketing down with rain, under a grey cloudy sky… so it’ll look very legitimately British! We started off inside St Mary’s Church, a beautiful, tall church built in the early 1800s near Marble Arch and Marylebone in the heart of Westminster. We filmed the stories behind the songs on the album there. Then after grabbing sandwiches we piled into Wendy’s car and drove around the city center with both camera men hanging out the windows filming the city in motion!

We parked near the River Thames and got footage of me chatting about themes on the album and about life in general. The rain didn’t stop so I pulled out my black and white polka dot umbrella! We filmed the London Eye and the Houses Of Parliament, then drove into the dark and very heart-breaking area of Soho – it has been London’s prostitution district for the past 400 years.

I got out of the car with the camera crew and we captured the explicit and devastating nature of those streets. I shared thoughts with the camera on worship and justice and my passion to see human trafficking ended. We ventured down some very dark, small alleyways lined with prostitutes and pimps. My heart was racing when we got accosted by one of them and told to stop filming as what was going on was private and not to be documented. It was scary and we felt pretty vulnerable…but I am so glad we were able to go there and let our hearts be even more deeply broken by what goes on behind closed doors. Worship and justice MUST go hand in hand – one of the songs on the new album is all about that…so my decision to shoot some film in Soho was one I’m still glad I did.

Watch out for the video! We’ll post some “Flip camera” B roll in the next week or so to give you a taste of what the full version will look like!

Not long til my 3 song EP comes out…. Feb 9th!!

Love,

Vicky

Two Things That Inspired Me Today

– October 7, 2008Posted in:

Two things really inspired me today… so I thought I’d share them both!

I’m packing my cases for Canada here in my apartment, but wanted to blog quickly in between changing guitars strings and figuring out how many teeshirts I need to take for 2 weeks!

The first thing that inspired me today was seeing a totally awesome car…I love old cars… I’d love to own something like this, or maybe an old VW camper van someday… they always make me smile as they look like they have stories to tell from all their travels!
