My Top 10 Christian Songs: #6
6. Sky Flashings by Earthsuit
Earthsuit
was a band with a style not befitting of just one genre. They performed
with a mixture of reggae, hip hop, rock, and electronica and this blend
of music is highlighted very well in their song, Sky Flashings, on the album Kaleidoscope Superior. The
album title is a reference to the song in question from the line, “It
takes a miracle kaleidoscope superior…” You might be asking about the
lyric’s meaning. Well, it is all an allusion to God and His grace and
power shown by nature through His creation.
Sky Flashings champions intelligent design by God Almighty
and it does so very eloquently. Earthsuit was always a band with extreme
musical talent and the way this song gradually swells from beginning to
end is nothing but a masterstroke of instrumentation. It begins quietly
with bass, guitar, and synths and ends with distorted guitars leading
the way. In addition, there is just an ethereal and epic atmosphere
throughout the whole song.
