Tom Read - Borderless




“Being borderless is not so much a political statement, as it is a human one. When we choose to see beyond the border, we choose to see each other.” - Tom Read

‘Borderless’ is setting the tone for an exciting batch of songs, released month-by-month. It’s an upbeat, alternative-pop fuelled call to action- one that couldn’t come at a more appropriate time given the current divisive political landscape.

It has always been the role of art to ask questions of the establishment, and ‘Borderless’ doesn’t shy away from this duty. “This song is a protest against tribalism, and those that would seek to divide us up” Tom reflects, “What if we choose not to accept those borders and the walls that have been put up between us. Whether you take these words literally or figuratively, I believe that our hope can be found in unity.”

Tom has been outputting fresh creativity for the church for over a decade- in more recent years including songs such as ‘Gravity’ (featured on Integrity’s Ultimate Worship 2016) and ‘You Restore My Soul’ (the title track of the New Wine 2018 live album). Lament EP garnered widespread critical acclaim, emphasized by editorial placements on Spotify’s New Music Friday Christian, Worship Now and Top Christian playlists.

‘Borderless’ was produced by Henry Marsden (Worship Central, Jake Isaac), mixed by Jonny Bird (Martin Smith, Bright City) and mastered by Drew Lavyne at All Digital Mastering.

'Praise You Anywhere' by Brandon Lake is a powerful anthem that encourages us to turn to praise in every season of life.

'Jesus Name' by Seek and Surrender: Embracing the Promise in Prayer

'Jesus Name' by Seek and Surrender is about how powerful it is to speak the name of Jesus. Many Christians will say, 'yes, I know that', but the truth of the matter is that speaking His name is a faith-driven force that is often overlooked as we go through our day-to-day activities.  This song gently reminds us that the truth of Jesus can overpower any lie we face, and reassures us of the freedom we find in Him. It's like having a conversation with your heart and reminding it of hope.  But there is more to this song. It expands on the promises that Jesus made about faith - especially the faith that can move mountains. I have to admit that I have doubts whether my faith can move mountains… I know I still have a way to grow in that. Thankfully, we don't need to to have mastered that level of faith before we see the effects of speaking His name.  Part of the lyrics refer to the passage, 'When you ask, it will be given unto you'. What does that mean? Anythin
