The Crossover Connection Week 32: Eddie Money Meets Smashing Pumpkins

During the Coronavirus, my work was deemed essentially so while many of my co-workers opted to stay home for a few months, I worked between 50 and 60 hours every week. Since I had to maintain a safe distance from other staff, I began searching You Tube for new Christian artists and bands. One of these searches introduced me to Silverline, a in your face version of Eddie Money but slightly softer than Smashing Pumpkins.

By this we come to know (progressively to recognize, to perceive, to understand) the [essential] love: that He laid down His [own] life for us; and we ought to lay [our] lives down for [those who are our] brothers [[l]in Him]. 17 But if anyone has this world’s goods (resources for sustaining life) and sees his brother and [m]fellow believer in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him? 18 Little children, let us not love [merely] in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity), 1 John 3:16-18.

Since I couldn’t find an exact match, Silverline’s music is somewhere between Eddie Money and Smashing Pumpkins. Ballads like Never looking Back and Too Far Gone will appeal to Eddie Money fans. Meanwhile, the harder stuff like Get It Right and Voices in the Night give me that Smashing Pumpkins vibe. Since I wasn’t able to find an entire album to listen to this week, I hope you enjoy the mix of songs attached.
