NewSong has discovered concept video! This new video (their second) is a virtual feast for the eyes and ears. The group performs some of their songs from their All Around the World album with a lot of different scenery to background their message.
My favorite song, because of its footage, is "Fields of Faith." If you get airsick easily, you might not appreciate the aerial shots zooming over vast farmlands which illustrates the message of sowing seeds for the Kingdom of God. I also liked "Finger Tips and Noses," filmed at a one-room rural mountain school house even the children shown didn't fit the image of "special kids with special needs," as sung about in the song. "From This Moment On," was performed onstage and combined slow motion cuts of the audience's reaction and how NewSong responds to the crowd during an invitation. The "Reach Out, I'll Be There" number was a little disappointing, relying mostly on scenes of old filling stations-which weren't as visually appealing as I had hoped for this fun tune. In addition to the title cut, there is one more number on the project, "Got Me Going." It is used as the background song to a "behind the scenes look" at the making of the video.
Produced and directed by William VanDerKloot and Fred Taylor, the six songs hit about 30 minutes, which was a little short-my only major complaint.
