This final episode is larger than most because I figured we should go out with a bang! So you get a full HOUR-LONG EPISODE! We received a tape from a concert we did this month in Clinton, NY (Resurrection Assembly of God), and there were some holiday tunes on there, and a bunch of other stuff that came out pretty OK... so I figured, why not! You'll get the full experience of a basic concert! It is a 42.9MB file, though... so sit back and relax as it downloads. :-)
There are too many songs to put the lyrics and links to iTunes here, so if you want to buy any of the songs (that are available) on this program, just click the link below to go to the iMix I created with ALL of our songs on it:

Well, as the saying goes... All good things must come to an end. (Or, at least, it's something like that...) This is the final episode of basicmm radio. Thanks for joining us on this experimental journey! It's been really fun! I've learned a lot about podcasting for sure, and just had a ton of fun digging through the basic archives. I hope you have enjoyed it too! :-)This final episode is larger than most because I figured we should go out with a bang! So you get a full HOUR-LONG EPISODE!

We have a SPECIAL EDITION of basicmm radio for you today! This past week we caught up with three of the original other four members of basic (including Greg's sister, Tara - the original "s" in basic!) It's a pretty entertaining conversation about where everyone is these days, and remembering some funny moments in our time together as the original basic band!We also included two songs from a video we found taken during a youth rally at the Clarence Church of Christ in April 1996! The lyrics and links to those songs are below.Thanks for listening! Don't forget to pick up these songs at the iTunes Music Store after hearing them here!Enjoy the interview!As I Hear Your Voice (1995) As I hear Your voice softly whisper,"Child, Come spend some time with me"I go, but then I falterDoing only that which pleases meWhy do I lose my focus?Doing the things I don't want toYou know my aim, my hope isOnly pleasing, loving You(Chorus)My Lord, My God, My KingYou are my everythingAnd right now as I singMy humble praise is all I can bringMy Lord I know where I standMy eyes can't even meet your feetBut still you call my name, andLift me so our eyes can meetOh how undeservingI'm a sinner saved by graceIn my walk I am swervingBut your Spirit leads me straight(Chorus 2X)Words & Music: Greg Campbell Copyright © 1995 Greg Campbell.

We are playing at Impact Theater tonight, so I found a tape from a previous concert and thought I'd share a little taste of Impact with you guys who might not be able to make the show. :-)The song we chose to highlight this week is one of our more popular songs off of the album Lord, Hear My Voice. Peace is a very simple song taken from the words of Paul in Philippians 4:6-7. This version was recorded at Impact Theater in November of 2003. The audio quality is not the best, but it is a live version, so that's to be expected.We have included the lyrics below, and you can click the iTunes button below to purchase the individual track directly from iTunes. Or, you can grab the whole album for only $9.99! Good deal!Thanks for listening! See ya next time!Greg & Jen C(from the road!)Peace (1996) Be anxious for nothingBut give all things over to GodAnd daily in prayerPresent your requestsCHORUSAnd the peace, that passes understandingWill guard your hearts and your mindsYes the peace that passes understandingWill guard your hearts and your minds in Jesus ChristWords & Music: Greg Campbell Copyright © 1996 Greg Campbell.

This week's edition of basicmm radio features a conversation with the inspiration behind one of the songs on our Come As You Are CD, The Mountain To The Sea. Chris Irwin is a friend who has a funny story about this particular song. :-)It's a different sort of show, hope you enjoy!The song was recorded at a coffee house in Victor, NY in 2003. The lyrics are included below, and you can click the iTunes button below to purchase the individual track directly from iTunes. Or, you can grab the whole album for only $9.99! Good deal!Thanks for listening! See ya next time!Greg & Jen C(from the road!)The Mountain To The Sea (1995) Dancin' on the hilltopsFollowing the mountain to the shoreAll the way you stop to wonder Will I see this mountain anymore?Such a calm and peaceful placeYou don't want to leave it but you knowThere will be many mountains you will seeAs you reach the shore you noticeA wide and open raging sea"Can this be the way to go nowIs this sea calling to me?"Though the waters rage around youYou press on 'cause you can seeThere will be another mountain there for meOn this path of life we go through many stormySeas not knowing when we'll reach dry landBut looking back just reminds us of where we used to beNot where we're going to bePressing on toward the goal of our lives we willReach that final mountain top, there with HimFollowing the path to heavenStormy seas come and they goBut mountains interrupt their madnessA sturdy peaceful place to goThere is one last mighty mountainA final mountain for your soulThere will be the greatest mountain we will seeWords & Music: Greg Campbell Copyright © 1995 Greg Campbell.

This is a busy, busy time for us here in basicland. We have a busy month of special days (birthdays and anniversaries) and we have been doing more gigs than normal, and we are going on vacation next week... so, lots to do.For that reason, this show is shorter than usual, and strangely, the song is quite applicable to our current whirlwind of life! We recorded the old hymn, The Solid Rock this past February in Harrisburg, PA at the PCTC (the Pennsylvania Christian Teen Convention). Actually was a pretty decent recording, and I love the version of the song. The band filled the song out nicely!We do not have a link to the song in iTunes, but you can purchase the whole PCTC 2005 CD for only $4.95 through our website! Here's a link to that page: http://basicmm.com/store/music.html. It has 12 other songs, including some originals that have not been otherwise released.Thanks much for your support, and I hope you know the Peace of The Solid Rock today!
It's not always easy to really trust God, and not worry about the things we see around us. In our lives, finances have often been so tight that they truly test our faith in God to provide. That has been the case over the last months, and was definitely true when I wrote the song, Faith To Be My Eyes.The song was recorded through a little 4-channel 80-watt power amp to a cassette deck two years ago on Nov 21, 2003. So, the audio quality is not great. The song is a great reminder for me to trust what I know about God, rather than what I see around me. That's harder to do sometimes. But we know that He does not change, and that allows us to "walk by faith, and not by sight". The lyrics of the song are below.Faith To Be My Eyes has not been recorded on a studio album yet. It is slated for a future release currently title, "Reach". There are no concrete plans for when that might be released. After 2007, I'd say. So, you can enjoy this pre-release version for quite some time. :-)As always, thanks for listening. Catch ya next time.:-)Faith To Be My Eyes (2003)Why is it that I can trust youWhen I’ve got my ducks in a row?But when anything goes against meI wonder why you never showedWhat is this right to perfectionThat I feel my life must deserve?When my life gets a little harderI wonder where I made the wrong turnchorusI need to keep my eyes wide openAnd know that you never changeDon’t let my worrying heart take overI need my faith to be my eyesWe have this misconceptionThat bad things mean something’s wrongBut I have learned from exampleThat you can turn bad into goodThis pain is just temporaryThough right now it overwhelms mePlease train my eyes to focusOn your faithfulness to mebridgeWalk by faith, and not by sightWe’ve heard those words before tonight…But when our world is fallin in on usThat’s when they really can take flight…Keep my eyes off circumstancesAnd let me focus in on youMy worryin heart is prone to dancinWith every new point of viewBut every new day is full of chancesTo rip off the blinders and gaze intoThe world of faith that can be before meKnowing that you always come throughKeep my eyes on you - - - I need my faith to be my eyesWords & Music by: Greg CampbellCopyright © 2003 basic music ministries.
A home recording of a song written for the Victor Unity Fest back in 2001 is featured on this edition of basicmm radio. The song was a request by our friend John Oliphant, and was first performed at the Unity Fest in January 2002. The lyrics of the song are below.Now, for those of you who actually VISIT the podcast page... :-) you get an inside scoop not posted elsewhere...We are in the preliminary stages of our next studio album! This song will be included on that CD, along with up to 14 or 15 other worship songs. The album will apropriately be titled (as of now) "Worship". Hope to have it available for purchase sometime in 2006. Stay tuned!As always, thanks for listening.

Get to know basic on this edition of basicmm radio! A few years ago now, we did an interview on a show called "Local Artist Showcase" on the Family Life Network (a group of radio stations across NY and PA). I came across the CD recently, and am posting the show in its entirety here with their permission.The interview is done by Bruce Barrows, and includes our songs The One and My Visible See-Through Friend from our Come As You Are CD. Also, they featured another artist Wendy Gammon from Livonia, NY. Bonus! :-)We mentioned on the show that you can e-mail in song suggestions to the show and we'll see what we can dig up! Email us at info@basicmm.com. Also mentioned was that you can make a donation to basic via this website and PayPal. Your donations would certainly be appreciated, and probably won't be mentioned again. :-)Enjoy the show! Here are the two songs featured, along with a link to purchase the song from iTunes!The One (1997)buy this song at --->I'm searchin' for somethin' real to me, I'm searchin' for nothin' that I seeThey say there's nothin' out there, They say that I'll go nowhereBut I say... hey, I say...ChorusI want to know You better, LordI want nothing less, nothing moreI want to know you better...There's nothing new under the sun, nothing that hasn't already been doneThere's nothing new under the sun, Lord, I want to know the OneWho made the land, who made the sea; who gave me life and now watches meFrom the tiny bird to the mountain, the desert refreshed by a fountainHe made it all, it all is His, and He gives the life that I now liveThat made me, that formed me to be; that caught me, brought me to my kneesI can not believe You loved me, hung on the cross thinkin' of meBut now I sit here knowing the One who's known me the best since my life begunWords & Music: Greg Campbell Copyright © 1997 Greg Campbell.

The selections for this edition of basicmm radio come from a lost recording recently rediscovered in the Campbell house from the year 2003. We recorded a live show at Chesapeake Coffee Company in Victor, NY (a now-defunct coffee house) with a gathering of friends that made for a fun night. (listen for some great back-up vocals on Called Out Ones!)The interesting thing about the songs chosen is that they are the only two songs that I wrote in 1998. That was quite a break from the norm at that time! There were a lot of changes in my life that year, and so somehow I only wrote two songs, and both during the same week of camp in PA that summer! Crazy!Both songs are available for purchase on iTunes, click the links below to go directly to that song at the iTunes Music Store. (must have iTunes software installed on your computer. For the free download, click here) Wretched Man - Come As You Are (2002) Called Out Ones - Lord, Hear My Voice (2000)A few things to add to the podcast:I mentioned that Jen didn't want any part of music that first year we were married... it was true! That's why it was such a cool work of God that we ended up doing music full time! It wasn't something that I clung to, or that she wanted at all, and yet God made it clear that was where he wanted to use us. Amazing.Scriptures referenced here in this podcast: Eph 1:3-5, and Rom 7:15-25.Jen wanted me to point out that we discovered we were pregnant in April (or so) 1998, he was not born until Dec of 1998. :-)The camp mentioned was actually in PA. Was with some good friends of ours, Dave & Marie Drake.Jen likes it when I play guitar now. :-)Kyle Krenzer, who engineered the recording, has a websiteEnjoy the podcast! Here are the lyrics for the songs...Wretched Man (1998)There’s a war inside of meAnd I am the enemyIt seems to take controlAnd it’s starting to take its tollYou said, “Be Holy, ‘cause I AM”I try, but I am just a manHow can I bear the weightOf this one very tall commandCHORUSThanks be to God our Savior,Through Jesus Christ our LordThanks be to God our SaviorThrough Jesus Christ my Lord and KingWhat a wretched man I amFallin’ down on my face againWho can save me from this mess I’m inI don’t wanna be here again (chorus)How many times I’ve said I wontJust to turn around and chokeOn my own words killin’ meOh, I just want to be set free (chorus)Called Out Ones (1998)You are the called out onesChosen by the FatherTo be like His Son(2x)Before he made the worldHe chose you as His ownBefore you did a thingTo take the love He’s shownIt was God who made the loving sacrificeCalling out to you, “My child, take my life”And that’s why(all repeats of chorus - “We are the called out ones...”)Words & Music by: Greg Campbell© 1998 Greg Campbell - Wretched Man recorded on Come As You Are - © 2002 basic music ministries, Called Out Ones recorded on Lord Hear My Voice - © 2000 basic music ministries.

The song for this edition of basicmm radio is one that has only been recorded once, for a now extinct demo CD recorded way back in 1995! (View the cover art below... it's amazing.) :-)I made an error on the podcast. I said that the song was written in 1995. It was actually written in 1994! Crazy. That's a long time ago. The words are still true. The song is still cool. Mostly. :-)So, here are the lyrics, and the album art. I hope you enjoy the song. (click the title above to listen if you are just visiting the page, and not getting this via iTunes or some other podcast software).We'll see ya next time!The Grace of God (1994)chorusOh, I've done it againThough I said I wouldn'tYeah, my flesh was weakAnd I turned from God//How can He ever forgive meOver, again and againLord, I come back pleadingFor your love// (chorus)(But) Oh, He's done it againLoved me, even though he shouldn'tYeah, my love is weakBut His is strongHis is strong, is strong
