简介

在1999年组队，以他们的同名专辑《Downhere》在2001年让Christian music world网站大吃一惊。他们最新专辑《So Much for Substitutes》的出现dow

nhere使饱受赞誉。这张专辑赢得了Juno Award nomination for Contemporary Christian Gospel Album of the Year。其中的歌曲《Breaking Me Down》赢得了Dove Award for Modern Rock Recorded Song of the Year。 正如主音作词Jason Germain说的：“explain in our art what being a Christian is”by being“as deeply layeredas possible”Downhere决定让他们的歌曲为人们所理解的同时极力避免客套话。在Coldplay,Pearl Jam和Radiohead的影响下，乐队将自我反省的歌词灌注到guitar-driven rock的歌曲中：《Starspin》，《Iliad》和《What It's Like》。《So Much for Substitutes》这张专辑以温和的表达挑战着Christian complacency，以鼓手Jeremy Thiessen的话讲就是：“struggle sand joys of human existence。”downhere就将这样的信息传给世人。

部分歌曲

beggar who gives alms

there are no mystic jewels, embedded in my prose,

no moonlit haloed cherubs, perched on my piano,

no lyrics laced with pixie dust, no angels sings along.

i am just a beggar who gives alms

gold and silver have i none, but such i have give thee,

borrowed words from the one, who gave the gift to me,

the pearl that i could never buy, this life, this dream, this song,

and i am just a begger who gives alms

i am not the creator, but a scribe with a pen,

i'm recreating visions, through a cracked and broken lens,

only one has ever seen the home for which we long,

and i am just a beggar who gives alms

all at war

i'm learning to stand the more that i fall down,

it's the law of inversion, and it's all turned around,

and i'm staggered by the clash inside my soul,

so purposed for good but inclined for evil

it's justice and mercy the old dichotomies,

all along the frontlines of my heart in both doubt and belief

the sinner and saint, the old arch enemies,

all at war, in me

i was born depraved, but created for the divine,

with death in my bones, in my heart eternal life,

i'd love for eden, but i'd kill for rome,

i'm native in a land that is not my home

you are the beginning, and you are the end,

into your great reversal, i am born again,

a beautiful redemption, you leverage even sin

in me your final victory, i know you'll win

into light, from the shadows,

into life, from the grave,

into love, into love

cathedral made of people

if they shut down the churches,

where would you go?

if they melted all the stained-glass windows

replaced every sanctuary with a condo

where would you go?

where would you go?

we are a cathedral made of people

in a kingdom that the eye can't see

we're a house, we are the bride

where god's spirit lives inside

and nothing ever could stand against her

if they burned every bible

what would you know?

if they tore your marked-up pages

how would you grow?

and declared your devotion to be criminal

what would you know?

what would you know?

when they throw you in prison

what will you do?

when they hate you for the things that you know are true

they can tear down this temple,

but they can't touch you
