So my dear pal Fainy introduced me to the most amazing video I have seen – well since OK GO.

I love me some David Crowder Band, so it could be him sitting on top of a box singing and I would think its fabulous, but people I am telling you this is super greatness.

How many times has a light bright music video made you cry? Okay, well exactly (or maybe I’m a freak).

Even if you aren’t a sap who can cry like I can over light bright music video – you must check this out:

SMS stands for Send Me a Sign

SO…. David Crowder Band – HOW DID YOU MAKE THAT VIDEO?

Well them David Crowder Band boys wrote a post on that. And apparently Light Bright is Light Brite (r) – who would of thunk. But more amazingly:

over 700,000 pegs are visible in the video (this doesn’t even come close to the actual number used due to our amateur stop motion skills, as in, for every sequence you are viewing there was some mistake, or story piece that didn’t work like we hoped, which means hours of “pegging” gone to waste. i’m confident that we, and our dear friends, pushed well over a million pegs. that is certifiably insane when i think of it. the world record for the largest Lite Brite(r) ever made on planet earth (i don’t want to be presumptuous) is just over 300,000 pegs. we didn’t just beat such a number, we crushed it completely.) we shot over 1200 frames. we had to learn animal and plant origami. and there was then the stop motion trickery, as in, how do you make something jump through the air and capture this in still photography. we knew nothing about any of this until we started down this trail. (don’t get me started on how much time it takes to cause confetti to appear to be thrown from a hand and fall into a Lite Brite(r))

SMS (Shine) Lyrics:

Send me a sign
A hint, O whisper
Fill me with life
‘Cause I am listening

Come break the quiet
Breathe your awakening
Bring me the light
‘Cause I am fading

Surround me with the rush of angels’ wings

Shine Your light so I can see You
Pull me up, I need to be near You
Hold me, I need to feel loved
Can You overcome this heart that’s overcome?

You sent a sign
The hint, O whisper
Human, divine
Everyone is listening

Death laid low
Quiet in the night is stirring

All around the rush of angels

O the wonder of the greatest love has come

Shine Your light so all can see it
Lifted up, ’cause the whole world needs it
Love has come, what joy to hear it
He has overcome, He has overcome

Need a Tissue?

I had to do a complete make-up reapply after getting all snotty face crying over this. Yes, I’m a sap.
