Great find. And sure it's safe to add it. For starters I already added the youtube link. You get the honour of completing the rest. ;)

Amazing find, great job. Was just listening to this last night and again found myself wondering about it.

massive find! I've been looking for this for ages, that little sample has bugged me for ages.

Well done. Bit cheesy but it's a good little tune isn't it?
We had a dream last night. We had the same dream.

Haha! I cannot believe it.

Gotta love TBN.

Bumping this thread just to gush about this song.

Never would have guessed such an elaborate and beautiful arrangement could come out of a children's album about a Christian robot. The aching melody that ends on the unresolved sus2, echoed (and resolved) by the keyboards, arranged into these almost Brian Wilson style harmonies. Then around 3:10 that bridge, w/ the 70s soul strings, swirling electric piano arpeggios + 12-string guitar, and the super jazzy turnaround. The way it keeps building in the final verse with the strings getting higher and higher and adding the descending line at the very top of the vocal harmonies. It's really so good.

There are some other really stunning moments on the album too. This one is written like a Todd Rundgren song, and then check out the glittering space disco synth arpeggios and funk bass at 1:35.

The whole thing is worth a listen.

I actually have this one on vinyl. Can’t remember where I found it. It has been several years ago.

Rad, I definitely want to get my hands on one too at some point.

I also dove a bit into the songwriters' previous Christian folk rock band, more of the Jesus Freaks era (Inferno synergy!), but also with some quite lush songwriting and arrangements.
