Song Obsessed!

That ever happen to you? You get a song in your head and just can't get it out? But it's not a bad thing because you actually really like the song! Well, that's been the case for me and Coldplay's "Paradise". Absolutely love it although, yes, I lost some respect after seeing the music video... Really? Elephants?

Anyways, I must share with you!

Jammin' Out

...to my latest obsession: Christian rap.

Lecrae, Tedashii, ect... I wasn't too much into it before, but now I'm in love.

Okay, so I know this won't be popular to everyone, and I acknowledge that. But a lot of these lyrics are pretty good and Biblically sound.











Here's just a few, but now that you've listened to my small sampling, what are your thoughts?

Do you like Christian rap? If so, why? If not, why? Feel free to share your thoughts.

Freedom Is Here

Love this song.

Beautiful Love

I have no idea why I like this song so much, but I have since I first heard it about four years ago. Christian band, but it's a love song. I just found the music video today. The video itself is okay, but I just like to shut my eyes, listen, and smile.

Beautiful Love - "The Afters"

Far away, I feel your beating heart
All alone, beneath the crystal stars
Staring into space, what a lonely face
I'll try to find my place with you

[chorus]
What a beautiful smile
Can I stay for awhile?
On this beautiful night
We'll make everything right
My beautiful love, my beautiful love

Larger than the moon, my love for you
Worlds collide as heaven pulls us through
The secret of the world is written in the stars
I'm carrying your heart in mine

[chorus]
What a beautiful smile
Can I stay for awhile?
On this beautiful night
We'll make everything right
My beautiful love

Maybe a greater thing will happen
Maybe all will see
Maybe our love will catch like fire
As it burns through me
[3x]

[chorus]

What a beautiful smile
Can I stay for awhile?
On this beautiful night
We'll make everything right
[2x]

My beautiful love
La la la la love
La la la la love

My beautiful
La la la la love
La la la la love

My beautiful love




Blessings,


P.S. Sorry for the lack of posts! I've been super busy. Happy New Year!

Sounds Just Like Queen!

Wow. I can't believe I never realized this before! Marc Martel, the lead singer of Christian band Downhere, sounds so much like Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen.

What? Don't believe me? Take a listen! :)



Blessings,

Your Love Is a Mystery!

This song is so my life right now! Love, love, love!

"God I know that you exist
I've been told a thousand times
But my friends they all insist
That the truth is just a lie
You see the lives that they all live
Seems like a party all the time
The temptations I resist
Because it's You I glorify!"

 Hawk Nelson's "Your Love Is a Mystery" Enjoy!



Blessings,

Be My Magnificent Obsession!

This song is an oldie, but a goodie. It's rare that a song gives me the chills, but this is such as song. "Magnificent Obsession" Steven Curtis Chapman! Mr.Chapman recently released his latest album Re:creation, which includes a remake of "Magnificent Obsession".

You Can't Run When You're Holding Suitcases!

"Suitcases" by Dara Maclean. My song pick of the week! :)

How can you move when they're weighing you down
What can you do when you're tied to the ground, yeah
You carry your burdens, heavy like gravity
Just let them go now, there's freedom in release

You can't run when you're holding suitcases
It's a new day throw away your mistakes and open up your heart
Lay down your guard, you don't have to be afraid

Just breathe, your load can be lifted
There's a better way when you know you're forgiven
Open up your heart, lay down your guard
You don't have to be afraid

Can you imagine what it's like to be free
Well, send those bags packing, they're not what you need
Abandon your troubles on the side of the street
Just let them go now, believe me

You can't run when you're holding suitcases
It's a new day throw away your mistakes and open up your heart
Lay down your guard, you don't have to be afraid

Just breathe, your load can be lifted
There's a better way when you know you're forgiven
Open up your heart, lay down your guard
You don't have to be afraid

There's nothing hold you back now, just run

You can't run when you're holding suitcases
It's a new day throw away your mistakes and open up your heart
Lay down your guard, you don't have to be afraid

Just breathe, your load can be lifted
There's a better way when you know you're forgiven
Open up your heart, lay down your guard
You don't have to be
You don't have to be afraid

Blessings,

I May Fall, but I Will Rise

"Rise" - Josh Garrels

I hung my head, for the last time
In surrender and despair
Before I’m dead, I’ll take the last climb
Up the mountain, face my fears
The time has come, to make a choice
Use my voice for the love of every man
My mind's made up, never again
Never again, will I turn round

Though they may surround me like lions
And crush me on all sides
I may fall, but I will rise
Not by my might, or my power, or by the strength of swords
Only through, your love, my Lord
All we’ve lost, will be, restored

Take courage sons, for we must go under
The heart of darkness, and set them free
But don’t lose heart when you see the numbers
There’s no measure for, the faith we bring
It’s given us, to overcome
If we run, where the spirit calls us on
The greatest things, have yet to come
With the dawn, we will rise

Though they may surround us like lions
And crush us on all sides
we may fall, but we will rise
Not by my might, or my power, or by the strength of swords
Only through, your love, my Lord
All we’ve lost, will be, restored

Blessings,

Can't Get Over Anthem Lights!!!

These guys are way too good. Anthem Lights is a new band to the Christian scene, but they've already launched themselves into the top song circles. I mean, I am seeing Anthem Lights everywhere!!!!! Props to them. Amazing vocals, great fan base, and one awesome God they praise.

Here's an acoustic version of their song "Can't Get Over You"

My Brain Says Stop, But My Heart Says Go!!!

Okay, I've had this song stuck in my head for several days now... So catchy! "My Brain Says Stop, But My Heart Says Go" by FM Static! By the way, you may recognize the lead singer. He's the lead singer of Thousand Foot Krutch, Trevor McNevan.

Randomness Friday: I've Found Third Day's Twin!

Okay, voices are unique. It's a scientific fact. There's a lot that goes into what makes your voice your voice. Bone structure, size of the vocal chords, anatomy of the mouth, orientation of the tongue and teeth... But I'm telling you, this new band called Cloverton sounds a lot like Third Day. And that is a compliment from me.

Granted, they don't look like twin bands...

Something In Your Eyes...

I absolutely love this song, even though I discovered it yesterday. Love, love, love! And its the perfect song to celebrate the most post-ish month! 24 posts this month! That's a new record, people!



"Something In Your Eyes" Shonlock Lyrics:

There's not a man who could number the sands of the ocean
Control the breeze send a ripple through the sea for motion

And it feels just like you're showing me a love song
And it feels just like you're telling me to hold on

I see something in your eyes tonight and it glows,
letting me know I'm never alone

I see something on your eyes tonight, what a show
I'll never let go
Never let go

Mended the pieces to my heart when my heart was broken
Put me together again the doors of grace were open

When I'm feeling like the world is on my shoulders
When I'm feeling like I just cannot go on

I see something in your eyes tonight and it glows
Letting me know I'm never alone

I see something in your eyes tonight, what a show
I'll never let go
Never let go

When I look into the sky
I feel so alive
When I look into your eyes

When I look into the sky
I feel so alive
When I look into your eyes

Blessings,

"Impossible" Anberlin

I absolutely love the beats and the lead singer's voice!

Blessings,

"Crazy Love" Hawk Nelson

Another recent favorite of mine.
