The Most Bizarre Music Video We Ever Made - The Kempters - Circa 2009

This music video was one of the first we ever made and never released for a multitude of reasons. But going back through old videos I ran across it and could not stop laughing. So here it is in all of it's glory. Maybe I'll make a video explaining how we made it if you all want or can't figure it out. Anyways, enjoy and happy Monday.

Inspired art isn't bizarre, it's just plain beautiful.

[@CarlSteyn]

The only bizzare thing about the video is the title. The childlike faith shining through is abeacon and so inspiring in the cynical world we live in. ❤❤❤

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

Watch the background, and who is where relative to it.

[@waynetube58]

Not bizarre at all only reason to call it that is to get attention to get people to watch it. So.... The title is a LIE Who did the lying????

[@ThinkandDew]

[@marks5610]

Absolutely fantastic, beautiful voices and music praise be our Lord

[@taniaclass2796]

When I saw 'bizarre' I almost didn't watch it. I'm so glad I did. Not bizarre... Beautiful!

[@TheKempters7]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Bentcypress]

I agree. Not bizarre at all. A beautiful video indeed. God Bless all y'all.

[@proft1942-y7n]

Absolutely beautiful song and family. Bless ‘em❤

[@guaporeturns9472]

Absolutely beautiful. I’m not a Christian but when I see and hear something this wonderful I feel like I’m missing out on something special. Brilliant.

[@ptmy8590]

There is nothing like a relationship with God Almighty. You are missing out if you do not have a personal relationship with Him. Jesus said, You must be born again, and nothing compares to being a child of the King.

[@guaporeturns9472]

@@ptmy8590 Yeah none of that means anything to me. Lots of people have said lots of things. Jesus was just a man , nothing more. A good man for sure , but just a really nice dude. I know how women get pregnant.

[@ptmy8590]

@@guaporeturns9472 If Jesus was just a man then He was crazy because He claimed to be God. The religious leaders knew who He is and rejected Him because He threatened their power. People reject Him today just like people back then, because of pride. Jesus is the Christ, God in the flesh, the living Son of God. Jesus is God.

[@guaporeturns9472]

@@ptmy8590 Many people claim to be god. Can be crazy and still be a good man. I live in a world of proof and facts.. science if you will , please show proof of god.. I know you can’t but I’m sure you will try. I’m not trying to be mean , I just find it ridiculous to believe so strongly in something that there is really no sound proof/evidence of.

[@ptmy8590]

@@guaporeturns9472 There is proof all around us. Creation cries out their is a Creator, our conscience tells us there is a God, God's Word testifies of Him, and His chosen people (the Jews) show there is a God. That is just for beginners, but it is not my responsibility to prove God to you. God has already proven Himself and if you reject His proofs it does not matter what I say. If you do not believe the light He has shown you will not believe anything anyone says. Pride keeps man from believing in God.

[@carmenwyoming5610]

😂 That's funny! The youngest had an amazing harmony voice! Love your voices no matter how many times you walk around in circles!

[@chandrajameson1562]

That's great! Let me guess, ok as soon as someone's off of the camera they run around behind the camera to a further spot and then act calm when it's on them again? There's a spot where Chris is smirking at someone just off camera.

[@TheKempters7]

Annnnd you have no idea how tired we were of filming that video! hahaha!

[@rickysnatchko6645]

@@TheKempters7 It was worth it

[@BoilerBen]

They’re a mystery bunch that loves Jesus!! Keep it up.

[@bkdexter79]

The only clue this wasn't a video gimmick was the young girl rushed out of picture at 1.28. Otherwise it was a seamless walking capture. Very well done!

[@brandirobinson8430]

I love it!

[@PeterGregg]

The editor deserves an award! Trees change seasons, Chris gets older then gets younger then gets bigger then gets smaller, the world goes round, but the Kempter are well grounded in Him. As the world turns bwahahahaha. Beautiful, not really bizarre?? Ain!t so, what's in the water you all are a drinkin? Thumbs up, of course 👍

[@Unkl_Bob]

I did not see what you describe. Time to watch again

[@valentinolsantiago7883]

Beautiful god is truly amazing when he made these beautiful being......

[@TheJimbob1603]

Thats some mighty fine editing going on there ...... The music is pretty good, too! ;-)

[@mooseman2868]

Not bizarre, uplifting!

[@henrydavid5886]

Hey Kempters. Glad you came across a 2009 "Blast From The Past" video and finally premiered it. You brought a Smile to me and you all sounded great. Would like to see a behind the scenes making of the video. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!

[@robjohnstonloftlayout9207]

Hi everyone ,working 12 hour night shift ,having a break at 4AM and this popped up on my phone, really made me smile then I hummed the tune till shift end at 6am. Hope you are all safe and well,kind regards Rob Johnston Carlisle England

Nothing bizarre about this music. Just beautiful. What a blessing. 😊

They do have a different approach ! Like it !!

This old video is positively brilliant. Why it is not released for 11 years is a mystery.

[@geraldellis4875]

My favorite... NOTHING else compares!

[@little-eagle-girl]

'Bizarre ' .... she keeps passing the same people in the background. But, I love it! Great video!

[@Homested_Happenings]

She passes the same people in the background and yet they themselves are also rotating. Didn't notice till my third time watching the video.

[@wolfgangn2749]

i am not religious, but this song is great. peace & harmonie!!

[@juanavila3245]

The whole place -and these people-makes smell super spring fresh-good job guys

[@Docsjeff]

That young lady on mandolin is REALLY GOOD!!! Plays with a lot of “FEEL”

[@wingleberry1]

Wonderful. I think some semi-circle algebra is involved in this shoot. :)

[@PoPphys]

I’m one of those agnostics but I would never disparage someone’s faith. Wherever it comes from, the musicians and athletes who share their strength are an inspiration to me. This one and the Petersens’ The Scientist get me in a way beyond words

[@kayc853]

What a beautiful song! I don't know it, but am inspired by it! Thankfully, I stopped to listen to it!! Thank you for sharing!

[@bennygonzales237]

I’m one of those that don’t believe Agnostics exist or don’t exist, so why did you even make a comment ?As far as your inspiration that you got out of this song, what’s the point? No one is ever inspired by an Agnostic. You can’t make up your mind one way or another if God exist. You will. When it’s to late. Find Him well you can. You only have this much time left. 0

Just watched again and again and again, then realized nobody was in the same position twice...BIZARRE 🤔😂😁👍KIND REGARDS ROB

I have to say that I am not a religious kind of person but this is just awesomely beautiful!!! Truly wonderful!!

[@edgewood99]

Well...I am not fond of "Christian" music...but I liked this. Why was it NOT released?

[@mbsoldschool]

Why do I keep coming back to watch this??

[@Rainerjgs]

"Bizzar" is the completely wrong choice of words, because “magical” would certainly be more correct!

[@fredlibby8518]

!!!!

[@cskatesv]

i think it's just darling! If I were to choose the "most bizarre", I would nominate the dueling violins with 5 Chris's. However, it IS the first video I saw, and where my Kempter addiction began. So sorry you have broken up somewhat! I hope there will be many reunions in the future.

[@setfreemiss]

The little girl is adorable and she sings great also!

[@kayrogers880]

I love them and their music! Have been following since I accidentally found the "five" boys (looking to be about 16 or so) playing a killer version of Orange Blossom Special on "his" fiddle. I said five boys earlier (2 sets of twins plus 1 ... as I had read at first). But it was the same person! But with some cool editing an awesome video shows the family's talent! Google them! Going to try to forward the Orange Blossom Special. Enjoy! Mesa, AZ

I have a question that has been bothering me ever since I watched this video days ago. I'm sorry if I'm asking anything inappropriate. I'm wondering if the woman in the front, is your mother when she was younger or someone looks similar to her? Maybe I need glasses. If that's your momma, you guys did an amazing job putting this together...its the entire family. I think its amazing🙏💜

That is Danielle, the keyboard player. She is not the mom, but a lot of people think she is! Thanks for watching!
