CHRIS MEDWAY: WATCH OUT! MUSIC Christian children kids praise, worship and theatrical songs. Strange & Beautiful, Weird & Wonderful music
Hello, and welcome to Chris Medway's WATCH OUT! Music page on Soundclick where you will find fun and creative music for kids aged 0 to 200. So turn on the Soundclick music player, turn up yo' speakers, grab anything within reach that remotely resembles an instrument and let's jam......... CHRIS MEDWAY is a Christian composer/ songwriter/ musician/ producer from Devon, UK. CD "ALL ABOARD THE HEAVEN EXPRESS" Using quirky but catchy Biblically-based songs, inspired arrangements, atmospheric sound effects and train announcements, all lightly spiced with (questionable) humour, Chris has created a fun and evocative CD for all kids aged 0 to 200. Woo-Hoo. So climb aboard the Heaven Express and be taken on an electrifying musical tour calling at exciting stations to Heaven Central. Another Woo Hoo. This CD will brighten up your day at any time but if you press play at around 10:13 a.m. then you can even experience the journey in real time. Woo-Hoo again. Chris' music is often described as colourful, eclectic and theatrical. Click on the 'music' thingy above and play some music to see why. Two of Chris' children's songs, "If you know God's love" and "O, Give thanks to the Lord" were published and recorded by Kingsway Children's Ministry with Ishmael and have been used in kids worship many times. Also of interest: The hitherto unreleased demo CD from Chris' stage musical about Daniel raised many eyebrows due to witty lyrics and intricate instrumentation. Some crazy and beautiful songs from the musical can be found here. It's a roar. ### The Heaven Express will be coming to a station near you, so WATCH OUT! ###

Story behind the song
In this short improvisational instrumental piece I imagined what it would be like to live in a city such as Tehran, or any other fundamentalist Islamic City, where the leaders and most people are openly hostile to Christians and where fanatics abound. As you walk through the city you are surrounded by constant reminders towering above and around you of thee facts. There is a feeling of threat and unease in this dark city where you live but somehow do not belong. Yet amongst this you know you are in the presence of God whose light shines on you as you look up to the heavens and bask in His glory.
