This project is awesome. Seriously.
I'll be praying for everyone involved.

(This project is bringing me out of AMV retirement. The first video I've made in a year.)

Cool.

Added you to the track list.

Sweet, I just bought that song off iTunes. It's awesome.

Both of you, welcome to the project.

Can I make 2 tracks and then show them to you and you pick which one is better and put that one in? Because I've hit another good idea but I don't want to take up the space of 2 tracks in the project.
Sure, if that's what you want.

Cool. In that case my second track will be ...

Song: Olivia the Band - "Heaven"
Anime: Akira
Type: Serious/Action
Length: 0:45 - 1:00

Once I get them done you can pick which you want. This song is one of my favorite worship songs so I'm excited about it.

I personally wouldn't consider Mae (or Anberlin for that matter) a Christian band. I guess my definition of a Christian band is a lot different than your guys'. Mae is another case of "Christians in a band", not necesarilly "a Christian band." They're all lumped into that category because they happen to be on Tooth and Nail (which as I had stated before, is not specifically a Christian label). But, meh. I dunno. In the case of Mae there's only one song where they even mention Jesus (Tisbury Lane). Many of their songs do have positive themes, but by that logic you could lump in hundreds of secular bands/songs.

Ah well.

I don't know about tooth and nail, but I think you may have missed the mark there. Christian bands and Bands with Christian members are the same thing. How? If they are truely christains then it will show through their music wether it be Christian or Secular. Just because a song lasks the word "God" in it doesn't mean it is secular.
for example, if you were to say that if a song had the word "God" in it has to be Christian, then what about "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails?

I know this isn't what you ment but I'm just saying. I believe Anberlin classifys as a Christian band and should be allowed. As for MAE.......welll..I've never heard of them

Then by that definition, you could consider P.Diddy, Jay-Z, Kanye West, and several several others who are self-proclaimed christians (not just hip-hop/rap) would be considered Christian artists. And I never said that a song has to mention God or specific Christian themes to be considered a "Christian song". What I was talking about is whether or not the band considers their music to be their ministry. As far as Mae, Anberlin, and several others on Tooth & Nail go, this does not apply.

I am not saying that these artists should be "banned" from this project or whatever. I'm just saying it's something that should be taken into consideration. I spent a long time in the Christian rock music scene and I guess I just have a hard time seeing artists being labeled unproperly.

Akira? Well, I guess if you can make it work somehow. Your second track is added to the list.

Yeah, reading through the artists' lyrics, most of their songs were simply about guy/girl relationships. They're listed on Christian music radio sites and Christian music sites, but that's probably because they're assumed to be Christian bands from being on Tooth and Nail.

Both the artists did have a few songs that could be interpreted as being Christian, though (Mae a little more so than Anberlin). The two songs that were picked for the project sound at least semi-Christian in nature to me. We're not gonna be too picky about that now, since we already ok'd the songs. So we're gonna let those two artists on the project anyway. I do see your point, though.

Heh, thanks. That's why I wanted to double-check with you two before I posted anything.

Mae is another case of "Christians in a band", not necesarilly "a Christian band."

That's precisely why I meant to ask.

Well, if my part doesn't enhance the theme of the project, it can be pushed to the side so others can participate. I can still use my part for a future individual project.
