Welcome to a very special edition of Music Video Monday. Today we say goodbye to one of the legends of Christian Music. Third Day was a pioneer of Southern Rock. Before they arrived on the scene in 1993, Southern Rock was known only mainstream music fans with bands such as Bad Company and ZZ Top. With Third Day's departure two remain, Disciple and Decyfer Down. There are probably others, but they haven't cracked into the limelight.
The band started in 1993, and lead singer MacPowell began in a bleach blonde mode. It wasn't his best decision. Their self-titled debut album released in 1996 and it is chock full of memories. Blackbird, Thief and, one of the best known Praise songs of the band Consuming Fire.
I wasn't there at the beginning, but I discovered the band at the inaugural Inside Out Soulfest in 1998. By the time they played the concert they had released their second album Conspiracy No. 5 (1997). This is You Make Me Mad
Moving into the 21st Century we jump to the album Move (2010). The band wasn't known for its Music Videos, which is a shame. All great songs deserve a Music Video, and Third Day had a lot of great songs. This is Lift Up Your Face.
Miracle came out two years later. This is I Need A Miracle.
And finally, in 2015 they released a worship album entitled Lead Us Back. This is Soul On Fire.
That does it for this very special edition of Music Video Monday. There wont be a band like this on the scene for quite a while. They will be missed, but after 25 years on the scene, they can be forgiven for wanting a break. I only wish it wasn't now. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
