\"EverythingThatHappens.jpg\"<\/span>David Byrne and Brian Eno have teamed up for a new project inspired by gospel music. Byrne wrote the lyrics, Eno wrote the music.
\nEno is quoted at thecelebritycafe.com:<\/a><\/p>\n

“I was surprised by how little attention Americans paid to their own great indigenous musical invention: gospel. It was even slightly uncool – as though the endorsement of the music entailed endorsing all the religious framework associated with it. To me gospel was a music of surrender, and the surrendering rather than the worshipping was the part that interested me.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I found that comment interesting, because so often we forget that the act of praising and worshipping can only come after total surrender. How often do we overlook the surrender in our music? I can’t wait to hear the album.
\nThe new project, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today<\/em>, will be available at www.everythingthathappens.com<\/a> and staring August 4, listeners can download a free preview of the album.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
