off for the summer!
it is true: summer is pretty much over, at least so far as quote unquote summer vacation goes. but i choose not to concentrate on this. you see, we are now on an official break. and i, for one, am calling it summer break. yes, i know, it is undeniable: the college students are rolling back into town which signals an end to quote unquote summer, but i insist it continues. the autumnal equinox is still ahead. endless summer i say! at least while i’m quote unquote off, which means at least a couple of weeks. and so it shall be. summer! i mean feel this heat! do not deny this heat! summer i say.
for you: below is a bit of goodness from our last summer hoorah! and wow, yes, it is conclusive, we had ridiculous, beautiful fun this merry summer season. a happy “thank you” to all who were with us while we were out and about. we love you deeply and can’t wait to see you again soon.
speaking of reuniting: i beg you, please get your tickets to the fall tour now as we’re really close to selling out a good number of these (for instance i know that anaheim has sold out now) and i don’t want you guys to miss it.
click here to purchase! por favor.
one last item of business: we now have remedy up for presale on our website. it releases officially on the 25th of sept. which i’ll tell you more about later, but i thought i should let you know about the presale now.

Good stuff, *DCB! Looking forward to seeing you in January when you will be in LA!!
Take cares.
Oops! I guess we missed our chance for Anaheim. . .we’ll try for Hollywood. Can’t wait for Remedy!
Have a great break!
God bless,
~Scott
I saw you at Summer’s creation festival in Mt. Union, PA!
y’all were amazing.
God bless you guys. Keep up the spreading of the gospel, via music!
Shiny! Enjoy the summer… come swim at the beach!
oh man ive been listening to that same soundtrack for the past few weeks! isnt it amazing? and the film is so great too
isnt it depressing summer is over?
that’s a fun video
I’ll be honest:
Whenever I play this song in my car, I gotta turn it down close my windows. (ala Opening Scene in Office Space).
Ah… the joys/sorrows of living in the Northeast.
Def. looking forward to both (tour/release).
i hear poland is beautiful this time of the year.
awesome. come back to new york city!
Crowder…I just pre-ordered your CD. I’m thoroughly excited for it, because I have heard a total of 4 of the songs between Passion and YouTube and have liked them all. DO NOT DISAPPOINT ME!!!
Oh yeah. My family and I know your old youth pastor and family..the Carsons. High school connections and whatnot…anyway, all that to say that I hear that you used to play keyboards in the praise band there, which is excellent.
I always read, rarely/never comment this Xanga. After reading your tour dates (and noticing several ideal gaps in the schedule), I comment to say the aforementioned, along with the following proposition/ultimatum: Come to CCM Central–Nashville–; demonstrate show that creativity shan’t die completely in the CCM scene; and do your whole performance and worship deal. Bring the Guitar Hero guitar and keytar with you. You have 6 months from now.
*cough cough* Grand Rapids, MI! *cough cough*
Oi! Oi! Remedy! It’s comiiiiing!!!
*Is sad that it only has 10 songs, but is happy that it exists nonetheless*
Do we get any clips of the songs to hear to make us all excited?
“I Saw the Light” was one of my favorites from A Collision. It’s nearly impossible not to dance to that song…
I was there! it was the most fun i’ve had in a long time! I help staff a high school ministry and we brought about 25 kids that night to watch. God bless
I always know when Summer ends because my brother’s birthday just happens to fall on September 21st. When I was younger I’d always tease him and tell him that his birthday was the worst day of the year.
Nice ho-down there.
Oh, Crowder and Band, I have pre-ordered my cd and bought my tour ticket, but it is terribly hard to know what to do with all this anticipation. I cannot wait to see you guys in Atlanta, and I know it will be amazing! It’s just a matter of seeing if I can wait ’til the big dates in September and November…….
You guys unequivocally rock my socks. Have a great summer break! See you soon!
Just ordered the CD…Ticketmaster was down (again), so I will recheck that tomorrow.
Going to LA and Disneyland Blues of House. WOOT!!, thinking about going to San Diego. If you message me and tell me to go I will be at San Diego!!
ho down on the west. revival is coming. the dude at 1:50 was cracking me up, same with the good folks in the dugout.
excellent stuff. when are you guys coming down to australia?
why not nashville!?!? for the love of everything against squirrels, why not nashville? very very sad day.
Every time I hear you guys do that song it makes me bubble over with joy.
David… I’m a bit confused. For 2 tickets to the Ohio show in November it’s over $40? That doesn’t sound like it’s right… is it?
i am counting the minutes till remedy, i am so pre ordering it, you rock and jesus is proud!!! Not that i might know.
I’m a bit confused because I’ve never done anything with getting tickets online – I’ve only been to a Shawn McDonald show and I got those tickets when I got to the show… which I don’t want to do with your show.
can’t wait to see you all November 11th!!
and can’t wait for Remedy!
both will be awesome I’m sure.
oh and summer isn’t technically over til after my birthday which is September 20th.
I hope rest finds you well during this break David. Everyone needs repose at some point…even the David Crowders of the world.
Come to the UK! We’d love to have you do some tours over here!
So, I started listening to The Frames b/c I knew you guys loved them, then I saw the movie, and now they’re pretty much my new favorite band. Hope you guys are doing well! Say hey to the wives for me!
The Wal is dropping my friends. I am so flippin pumped. November 7th cant come soon enough.
Awesome, Dave.. I preordered Remedy.. I can’t wait!
Now, Mr. Crowder…
I must admit that I am rather concerned, upon seeing the track listing of your CD and the price. Before this CD, you offered lush arrays of tracks in varying styles for fair prices… but I see 10 tracks for 15 dollars…
I trust your musical ability, and your creativity, but am I going to be disappointed with a sub-40 minute glorified EP? Please tell me no.

Brilliant soundtrack choice Mr. Crowder. See you soon.
i had to come back to watch the video again.
having you all here in ’08
will be great!
cannot wait!
woot woot woot.
oh, and i love that you are all on tour with phil the wickham. awesome blossom.
looking forward to seeing you guys in October. Are you guys going to dig into the vault a little bit for us veterans? =]
hmmmm….I’m thinking Intoxicating, I suppose Rain down is sufficient enough. You know you are on the rotating stage in Phx right? That will be crazy dude. Do you any of you guys get motion sickness?
Hey david, I’ve always wondered in Our Love is Loud, did you use a unit (wraith) speech from Starcraft in the song? It says “waiting for command” and i thought that was funny if it is.
hi Dave! you know i was thinking about asking you to sing for my friend’s birthday on Monday cause hes such a huge fan of you but i don’t think i can afford you so I’ll just have to settle with pre-ordering your CD for his birthday. one day… when i’ve got the cash hopefully we’ll get to meet ya
Dear Crowder,
I have a little problem. I ordered my ticket for the Atlanta event super-early (read: the first day they were available). I have lovingly carried my ticket everywhere with me, but today I happened to pull it out to remind myself of the glory to come when I noticed something odd - my ticket says “SAT NOV 16.” Unfortunately, the 16th of November falls on a “FRI” this year and not a “SAT.” What to do?!? Which day is it?! Oh my, oh my!
Give my regards to your band. I’ll email ticketmaster in the meantime.

Any chance another show in Ohio will be scheduled on a weekend?
A friend and I wanted to go on Nov. 7th but now things aren’t working out well because of the day of the week it’s on… she works both days and would have to take off Nov. 7th & 8th for the drive there and back, and she’s the Youth Pastors wife at our Church and he wants her to help on Wednsday’s and I have school….
Oooh the dread of not having everyday Summer vacation or a weekend-day. *grin*
Hoping to STILL be able to see you in Ohio somehow, somewhere…
I just got your message from my Sunsets and Sushi post. I haven’t really realized there is more to just posting and commenting to xanga, its getting so complicated these days.
Well, at least there’s some Remedy coming.
love love love the new song! I am looking forward to release soon!
Dear Mr. Crowder,
I must say, I am quite blown away by CYFI7.0… It is amazing. And it is even more amazing when I go biking on a trail by the sea with the sea wind blowing on my face as I listen to that song (you should try it sometime…). I really really really really really really really really really really really really really enjoy it… and yes… ICFI. I can not wait for the album.
Mr. Crowder, I have a question to ask of you… if you don’t mind. My friend’s birthday is coming soon and he is a guitarist and a musician and stuff… and I can not think of what to get him for his birthday. Do you happen to have any ideas? None of my friends are really guitar players and so… you are my only hope! wahhh…
Haha. I hope you are enjoying the summer! I can not wait till you come to NYC in November ;PPP
Sincerely,
w00tage =D
i too feel as if summer is pretty much over. i’m back at this horrible thing they call school
and it is school that is keeping me from coming to the show in Raleigh on November 13….ugh! but i do have to say summer was so good, and it was great running into you twice and even making the site! I can NOT wait for Remedy!
omgsh dave, did you know that ONCE was playing last week at this indie theatre here in boston?! i love Once too, it has the most amazingest soundtrack ever. see you in november and maybe we can go watch Once together if it’s playing here again!
