“Never Enough” Album – Behind the Scene

We witness that God has arranged and planned everything for us. We started with playing music in JOY (Jesus fOr Youth, a youth prayer community in Jakarta) every Saturday afternoon. We always remember that at that time we practiced in a small 2x2 sq meter room, with a poor instruments and simple amplifier. Only terrible noise and hot air could be felt inside that tiny space. However, that unfortunate situation was not slow us down. Instead, we kept our spirit high and we still able to produce various music arrangement applying our creativities.

Slowly but sure, we can then start renting a studio for our practice. The money came from our own pocket, sacrificed our income in order to pursue our commitment keeping Chronicle exists. We also began to join some music courses in order to enhance our skills. “Pay for the price” also applies in this music ministry. Skills and Spirits are two things that can not be separated from a music ministry.

The longer we play music together in a band, the greater our desire to see that our music will bless more and more people, not only in JOY. We often spot the enormity of God’s work because of the music. That makes us even amazed and fired to spread God’s joy and love to others. Music has its own magic. It could express a soul and touch a heart. We are so proud that God has given us, youth Catholics, a chance to introduce God to our friends through music.

God always works in a way that we can’t imagine before. Somehow, we got a chance to start making our first album. It’s a mini album, with Indie style, and most of the songs were arranged by Yohanna (Chronicle’s keyboardist).

We have only 2 months time in order to make the album. That’s because we need to launch the album right on time when there is a Catholic Revival by Bo Sanchez on February 2007, so that we could promote the album effectively when almost all Indonesian youth Catholics gathered in that event. During the album-making process, we faced a really difficult situation, when there was a big flood disaster in Jakarta, all main roads were flooded by dirty water from the river and all public transports were hard to be found. Once again, we witnessed that God has His own plan for us. The flood also made us unable to go to school and to work for a while. That means, we will have enough time to complete our album. Awesome God!

“However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived”. what God has prepared for those who love him" (1 Corinthians 2:9)

Praise God, Chronicle’s first album received lots of support from our family and friends. That’s why, we would like to also invite you to enjoy our first album, with title NEVER ENOUGH.
