维基百科介绍:
Bluetree is an Irish Contemporary Christian Music (CCM)/Christian rock band signed to Lucid Entertainment. This band is known for its hit song, "God of this City" (video), which was vaulted into international popularity when it was covered by Chris Tomlin on the Passion: God of This City and Hello Love albums.
Bluetree originated at Strandtown Christian Fellowship church in 2004 but is now based in Exchange Church Belfast. According to lead singer, Aaron Boyd, Bluetree was born out of frustration. "I was frustrated with the idea that worship is only to do with your heart. I don't really agree with that. It's bigger than just your heart attitude towards something. Like the idea that music can be secondary and as long as you love Jesus, that's fine! I don't think that's right." Bluetree originally consisted of five guys and then the mighty Pete Kernoghan joined completing the lineup. While the band was travelling on a missions trip to Pattaya, Thailand, the poor conditions of said city became the inspiration for their hit song, "God of this City". As an independent band, they recorded their debut album, Greater Things, at the Windmill Lane Studios (U2's preferred studio).The record was eventually released in September 2007, but on January 24, 2008, their album was picked up by Fierce! Records for UK Distribution. In May 2009 the band launch their charity "Stand Out International" It's a charity that directly rescues kids out out of the sex industry.
Following their debut album release, Irish worship band Bluetree has independently achieved what major record labels and marketers often dream: a swarming buzz that transcends time zones and international borders. Upon listening to the first few tracks of God of This City, it becomes quickly evident that the offering is greater than a collection of powerful songs – it is a personal story. The encounter begins with the epic, melodic crescendo of "Life's Noise," effectively setting the stage for greater things, in particular the contagious, anthemic title track "God of This City," written by the band while leading worship onstage at a squalid nightclub in Pattaya, Thailand. Perhaps both equally a song and a prayer, "God of This City" has become a response that acknowledges the power, presence, and sovereignty of a Holy God – and His plan for a better, bolder future.
During their inception in Belfast, Ireland, the members of Bluetree desired to create an atmosphere of worship where people could encounter the Spirit of God Almighty through music – a climate where the complete expression was greater than a singular attitude of the heart and music a secondary compliment. The music style can be described as a convergence of worship, rock, and technology, with a symphonic delivery of thunderous drums and entrancing guitars that is both imaginative and inspiring. Ultimately, Bluetree is a refreshing and rewarding worship band that transcends the typical and the trendy, whose debut album invites listeners to seek first the Kingdom of God and courageously anticipate greater things.
