The Waiting



           The Waiting is a Beatlesque alt-rock Christian band that I started listening to in the late 1990s.  It was a listening phase in a way.  I acquired a few of their CDs and began listening to the music on a regular basis over a couple year period.  Then I stopped listening to music as much as I had done back then.  I started listening more to classical music or older rock music.

           The CDs are there waiting for me if I ever want to listen to them.  The Waiting plays good music with smart lyrics and good musicianship.  I still like the group just fine.   I'm sure I'll listen to those CDs again eventually.  I'm waiting.

  2. First time I've heard this band, I think. My main music is contempory Christian. Christian music helps me through my days. :)

  3. I enjoyed that! And I don't usually listen to contemporary Christian, but I love the older spiritual songs. Actually, I don't listen to much new music. Thanks...I think I will try to post them to my musical group for them to enjoy

  9. G'day Arlee, First time I've heard this band. I actually really liked it, mostly I listen to easy listening and pop rock Christian music. So I was pleasantly surprised with this one. See ya mate. Have a good one. Love, KC

  10. Scots Lass -- Thanks for the follow

    Funny -- Not that they could be mistaken for the Beatles. I just thought that some of the songs by The Waiting have that sound.

    Lynn -- Who knows what is going on with Blogger. I haven't encountered any problems today--not yet.

    KC -- The Waiting has a pretty light pop-rock sound I think. They're easy on the ears.

  13. Janyce -- The Waiting has a more 70s type sound which is why I like them I guess. Thanks for the follow.

    Suze -- I'm sure I've heard that song but I don't know their music well enough to recall it. I just know I like them.
