2. "Certainly sometimes I feel as if I was born in the wrong era, you know with the internet and people with camera, and phones…everything is captured… there’s nothing sacred anymore…there’s no mystery. Sometimes I wish we were back in days when there was vinyl and you would discover an artist… a friend would tell you about a record and you wouldn’t download it to anything… you would put in on the record player and have this tangible, physical experience with the music and you wouldn’t really (have to) know anything about the artist…"

    Brooke Fraser on her issue with being a modern day artist.

    Brooke darling, I have to agree. Wholeheartedly.

  5. joshmaldito: This is why I love Brooke Fraser so much and how she became my influence. Also, I can relate so much in this passage; it’s a sort of a reflection of my own journey too. “My most powerful moments of ministry have not been, and will not be, on the stage. They’ve been sitting, knee to knee, in a darkened church side room with a 12 year old girl whose father has abandoned her for his new family. They’ve been on an international flight next to a Brit rocker, who, intrigued by a hymn album I had in my CD wallet, asked if I was religious. I replied, “No, I’m not religious, but I’m really into Jesus,” prompting him to put down what he was doing and asking me to talk to him about that. They’ve been crying with a producer in the dressing room of an Australian television network studio as God overwhelmed us both with His love for her. They’ve been singing “Shout to the Lord” to a group of orphans on the side of the road in Rwanda. They’ve been kneeling in prayer with a single mother out the back of a pub in the Waikato after a show, broken glass digging into our knees.” - Brooke Fraser (Soul Purpose Magazine)
