After over a decade of making music with the David Crowder Band, David Crowder is now embarking on a new musical journey as a solo artist, under the name Crowder. “I am thrilled to announce a new album coming out under the name Crowder,” the singer explains. “I’ve never been more excited about a batch of songs!”
His first single, "I Am," off his upcoming album Neon Steeple (February 18, 2014), is a great reminder of how we are always in the presence of God- no matter where our lives have taken us. “The name of God when it’s revealed is a big moment in history." David explains. “That evokes the idea of the presence, of being in his name. For me, that is one of the greatest hopes of the Christian faith. That no matter where you are in life, that you live and breathe in the presence of God. So many times I forget about that, and I need to be realigned to that reality."
The album Neon Steeple, is described by David as “Folktronica-” porch music and computer music combined. "It's been a couple years since the David Crowder Band has made music, but there was more to be written," he says. "I collected some players that could all fit on a porch and have instruments that you wouldn't have to put on a wall, like- banjos, fiddles, that type of thing. The point is to feel like we were on a porch together."
In addition to the "porch music" sound, David said it was important to him to add an electronic element as well. "I love computer music," he says. "Growing up around the video games I loved the sounds. It makes my heart happy."
Crowder will joining artists such as Newsboys, Tenth Avenue North and Thousand Foot Krutch, on the Winter Jam Tour this fall. He will also be headlining a nationwide tour in 2014, with All Sons & Daughters, and Capital Kings. "It's gonna be a 'Folktronica' night," he says of the tour. "I cannot wait for you to hear it!"
Hold On We're Going Home
Crowder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're everything that I see
I want your hot love and emotion, endlessly
I can't get over you,
You left your mark on me
I want your high love and emotion, endlessly
'Cause you're a good girl and you know it
You act so different around me
I know exactly who you could be
Just hold on we're going home
Just hold on we're going home
It's hard to do these things alone
Just hold on we're going home, ho oh
Just hold on, just hold on,
We're going home we're going home
So just hold on, just hold on,
We're going home, I know exactly who you could be
The lyrics to Crowder's rendition of “Hold On We're Going Home,” originally by Drake, portrays a longing and a yearning for someone or something. The song's opening verse, “I got my eyes on you, you're everything that I see, I want your hot love and emotion, endlessly” expresses infatuation and the desire for the subject's love and attention. The following verse, “I can't get over you, you left your mark on me, I want your high love and emotion, endlessly,” displays the singer's inability to forget the person, and their longing for the subject's love and commitment. The chorus of the song, which includes the repeating line “Just hold on, we’re going home,” resonates the meaning of staying together through challenging times by leaning on each other's love.
As the song progresses, the singer talks about how the woman is a good person, but it appears that around him, she changes. “You're a good girl and you know it, you act so different around me, yeah, you're a good girl and you know it, I know exactly who you could be” is an explicit declaration of his feelings towards the woman and the belief that there is something special about her. The repeated refrain “just hold on, we're going home,” carries the theme of being together through the tough times and creating a future filled with love and support.
Overall, “Hold On, We're Going Home" by Crowder is an ode to love and loyalty. The song expresses the feelings of the singer towards the woman and the need to hold on to each other to face whatever life throws at them.

This is from my Neon Porch Extravaganza a few years back. That night was a hoot and now we can all watch it on the YouTubes.
