Change the World - by This Beautiful Republic

This [beautiful] song crossed my mind as I've been hearing more & more on the news about the wars & protests, esp. in Libya, Egypt, Yemen, & the genocides still happening today...



TBR is from Toledo, OH & they formed in 2004.  They were signed to ForeFront Records in 2006 and released "Casting Off" - a debuting EP released Jan. 9th, 2007.  Later that same year, they released their LP "Even Heroes Need a Parachute" on April 3rd.  Their singles "Black Box" & "Going Under" got some attention and charted in ChristianRock.Net's top 5.  Their next LP was "Perceptions" - released Aug. 19th, 2008.  They've toured with the likes of NEEDTOBREATHE, Ever Stays Red, Falling Up, Family Force 5, Jars of Clay, TFK, other well-known acts; and have also appeared at some festivals including Ichthus, Creation Festival, and even some international festivals.  However, in late 2009, they announced that their lead singer was parting ways (& this left only Kunkle [guitar], Paxton [bass], & Toews [drums]).  Sadly, it seems that they may have broken up - there hasn't been much in the way of news aside from them selling their van & trailer, and some pieces of equipment.  This song is from "Perceptions".
