Contemporary Christian pop-punk band Stellar Kart may be known for its hard driving guitars and power punk anthemic choruses, but when it comes to turning a ballad, few other punk bands can match its naked honesty and unforgettable melodies. (Relient K comes to mind.) While Me and Jesus was by far its biggest hit, the midtempo Something Holy has what it takes to get back into radio’s good graces. Lifted off the new CD Everything Is Different Now (INO Records), Something Holy’s accessible sound and sing-along chorus certainly has good things going for it. The song, which encourages the listener to trust that s/he is important, valuable, and “part of something holy,” takes the whole “we have a purpose” adage and spins it into something accessible that even tweens should be able to understand and appreciate. SK’s Adam Agee even shares a devotional here based on the song.
After a bit of a hiccup – Everything is Different Now was originally released exclusively online and via concerts in November 2009, with a nationwide release four months later, sans Something Holy, something that miffed some fans – it looks like SK is back with a vengeance, and GannsDeen.com’s fearless prediction is that Something Holy will chart somewhere in the Top 10 for Christian CHR and somewhere north of the Top 30 on the main Christian chart.

SOMETHING HOLY Lyrics
Stellar Kart
You say that the well’s run dry.
And there’s no more tears to cry.
You’re searching for something real.
To make you feel.
You Know that you’re incomplete.
A song with a broken beat.
There’s a whole in all our hearts.
And there’s a reason why!
[Chorus]
We were born to be,
A part of something holy.
All of us are restless until we find.
We were born to be,
A part of something holy.
Bigger than, bigger than
You and I.
Bigger than all our lives.
The hunger you feel inside,
That keeps you unsatisfied.
It pulls at you constantly.
Like gravity.
This world never was enough.
We’re made for a deeper love.
There’s a whole in all our hearts.
It’s part of our desire.
[Chorus]
We were born to be,
A part of something holy.
All of us are restless until we find.
We were born to be,
A part of something holy.
Bigger than, bigger than
You and I.
Bigger than all our lives.
All our lives we long for something more.
The life that we were all created for.
We were born to be,
A part of something holy.
All of us are restless until we find.
We were born to be,
A part of something holy.
Bigger than, bigger than
Bigger than you and I.
Bigger than, bigger than all our lives!
Bigger than, bigger than
