Throughout their musical career they have had many achievements with songs like "Everything Glorious" winning Gospel Music Association awards. A pivotal album for the group was 'Church Music'. In mid the David Crowder Band announced they would fold after a final tour. David thought, "Oh my goodness. He got halfway through the last song and cracked up. Their final appearance at the Passion event - broadcast worldwide by God TV - was also highly emotional.
Alongside their stirring final performance comes the swansong album, 'Give Us Rest'. Amazingly, it has 34 tracks packed into a double CD and explores the forgiveness and judgment on man's relationship with God. David is clever with the way he creates his lyrics as the songsmith's album is based on the requiem funeral mass from liturgical traditions. David said the requiem masses have attracted composers because it's such a great theme to write about.
He then went on to explain why there are so many tracks on this album. There's a lot of content that we felt like we needed, we couldn't just disregard. David told Christianity Today, "What's weird about this record is that about 85 percent of it was done with all of us in separate locations. All the guys have studio setups at their houses, so all we were doing was sitting around in our own place uploading files to each other.
It's the longest record we've ever done, and the most amount of work we've ever put into a project - and nobody can really tell you when they recorded it! It was just spread out in little spurts and stops, and files getting passed around so that you couldn't see the outcome or where the thing was.
So that process eliminated the potential for a big emotional moment. The sentimentality was absent simply because we were not in each other's presence. But when you're in a room playing with each other it's like another level of connection, and so it's sort of a good way to ground the record, in a sense.
And then we went off on our own after that. But it's not that we don't feel the finality of it. We have a good sense of closure.
