Name that obscure 90s female-fronted Christian alternative band?
I’m trying to remember the name of a Christian female fronted alternative/ rock band. I think it’s from the 90s, possibly the very early 2000s. they had this song that I really liked, and I’ve been searching all over the Internet to find out who this band is, and I haven’t been able to find it, Google Gemini and ChatGPT have not yet been able to find it.
I’m fairly sure it was recorded sometime around 1997–2003, possibly a little earlier or later. It was by a relatively obscure female-fronted Christian band, not one of the major CCM artists. I remember it as a real alternative-rock band with distorted electric guitars, bass and drums, rather than a contemporary worship group.
The song had a mid-tempo 6/8 (possibly 3/4) feel. I would estimate the underlying tempo at around 78 BPM.
I think the song may have been called “Sun, Moon, Stars,” although that’s not certain.
Here are the lyrics as I remember them:
“Verse 1: You’ve been so close to me
I can’t believe where you have been
In the corners of my mind
Verse2: You’ve been so good for me
I can’t believe what you have done
In the shadows of my heart
Pre-chorus:…burning like fire…desire
Chorus: Sun, moon, and stars all bow to who you are
The great affection has seized my heart.”
Some of the wording may be slightly different, but I’m pretty confident about most of these phrases.
I’ve considered Fleming & John, but I don’t think they’re the artist, although I think it’s in the same vein.
Does anyone recognize this song or band? I’m particularly interested in anyone who was deeply familiar with the late-90s/early-2000s Christian alternative-rock scene, including smaller/independent labels.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
