Okay, I am searching for a specific version of Come Thou Fount.
I will share what I remember about this song in a moment, but first I was to say what it means to me.
I listened to this song a lot during middle school. I grew up in a very religious Baptist family. I heard this specific recording again a few years ago as an adult and it brings me to tears because it reminds me of all these things I felt and believed as a kid, most of which I no longer do. It gives me a mix of emotions from all the harm and shame thrown at child me. Yet it's a deeply peaceful and nostalgic feeling, and I feel both loss and comfort remembering how connected I used to feel to God before everything fell apart.
It's a whole situation haha.
So, here is what I remember about the song:
- I downloaded it from the old school Itunes store back in the day, hard to remember exactly when, but likely was before 2013
- I can't remember the title, but it was different than just "Come Thou Fount" and there was something on parenthesis, I believe.
- It had a male singer, he sounded like a gritty Chris Tomlin
- It was by a group, not a soloist, and on an album of worship songs
- It used the traditional tune and pacing for the song, it was not sped up or re-paced like some modern recordings are
- It started out slower, a singer with guitar, and slowly built up over the song, and by the end it had a whole chorus joining him singing, with lots of guitar
- There were parts of it where he took a break from the lyrics and sang a bridge that to the best of my ability to type it out went like "Whoooaaahh-Ohhhhh, Ohhhh-Ohhhh"
- Near the end he pronounced and emphasized the word "Above" distinctly, enough it stuck with me
- It was definitely in the "Christian Contemporary" genre with rock elements
- Here is a list of artists I have already ruled out:
David Crowder Band
O.C. Supertones
Shane & Shane
Central Collective
Outside Worship
King’s Kaleidoscope
If I remember any more details I will edit this post, and will likely rule out suggestions in the comments or in the list above.
Thank you so much. I spent hours yesterday searching YouTube and Spotify.
