Shane & Shane Bio

Shane & Shane's latest project, Pages, documents a personal season of change and re-evaluation. Pages was produced alongside Will Hunt (Ginny Owens, Robbie Seay Band, and Ryan Cabrera), who also manages Spaceway. David Hodges (Evanescence, Charlie Hall, Kelly Clarkson) made a guest appearance on piano.

"Beg" is a song that Barnard describes as 'honest - honest words about how much I don't love God as much as I want to, and what kind of posture and place that leaves me in at the end of the day. He commands us to love him, and I don't feel like I can so many days. That leaves me in a bare place of crying out for help.

But for most listeners, their first exposure to Pages will be "We Love You Jesus," which Barnard wrote in a coffee shop. "I just heard it playing in the air. It's still unbelievable to me." says Barnard. "I went home and wrote it down, and we started singing it everyday. It's a poppy song of hope but also a song about death. The first line in the chorus says ' we love you for so many reasons-for death, for life.' The second verse is about the passage in I Corinthians where it talks about taking the sting out of death."

In March, Barnard's father died unexpectedly, "One of the many helps for my family and me was that song, saying 'I love You because you save. You take the string out of death.' My dad was a new believer. He saved him four years ago . . . I think that's why I heard it that day in the coffee shop. It was a gift of comfort," Barnard says.
