It starts with a steady, electric bass and drums, then weaves a haunting, distorted guitar with a fierce rap about the mysteries of our faith. Then come samples of someone speaking slowly, "You young people, ask yourselves: Do I believe these words of Jesus in the Gospel?" Suddenly, you realize it's Pope John Paul II. In the creation of Change Me, Tom was inspired by meditations on conversion, which starts with an encounter with God then moves to this courageous prayer: "Change me, Lord." "Ultimately, the call to change is the call to love. Like Mary," he says, "May we say 'yes' and be changed." 13 original songs.

Famous people have "unraveled," ruining their reputation through some scandal. That's not the way God wants us to go.

This album reflects on this unraveling that Christ calls us to daily.The title track and four other songs are in the tradition of the classic American/ British rock song; there are also ballads and songs. The classic poem "The Hound of Heaven" comes to life in "The Shade of Your Hand," There are three guitarbased psalm settings with breezy, melodic, acoustic styling.

"Ceili" is a Gaelic word for "party," specifically one with live musicians, dancing and general merriment. "Coeli" is Latin for "heaven." Rain is stuff that falls from the sky. Thus, Ceili Rain is a "downpour of heavenly partiness."
Ceili Rain makes an innovative blend of pop-rock music with a Celtic/Irish flavour and a subtle but sincere Christian message. Described as a cross between the Beatles and the Chieftains, this talented group adds button accordion, bagpipes, tin whistle and fiddle to the usual guitars and drums to create a sound you can't resist. They take a gentle, roundabout approach to evangelizing. Knowing many folks "don't love to be preached at," they create music that speaks to us where we're at, presenting the Christian message in the context of everyday life.
