This Is My Crazy Face!

This day’s been crazy but everything’s happened on schedule
From the rain & the cold to the coffee I spilled on my shirt.
But You knew how You’d save me before I fell dead in the garden,
And You knew this day long before You made me out of dirt.
And You […]

Just a quick note before my programming fundamentals class starts:
At the risk of boring my readers with another post about a song, this one is more tied to the person singing the song. Beyonce’s ‘Irreplaceable’ has been running through my brain all morning, and I can’t think anything but ‘ironic’. That is, no one should […]

As youth groups go, these kids are pretty talented. Not sure I totally approve (not that my approval matters), but at least they’re not selling retail goods with this song…

This second set of 10 actually has 11 (a tie I was not able to break). I think this second 10 provides a greater sense of the thematic and sonic features of what 21st-century music should be.
Cherry Blossom Girl - Air
This ethereal electronica selection draws its retro-futuristic sound from the steady beat and the high […]

You know, I got to thinking on the ride home that there are just some songs that don’t seem like they belong in the 2000s. You know, the era of flying cars, hoverboards, laser ovens, and other cool retro-futuristic ideas. Well, I’m still waiting for my flying car, but I wanted to point out (in […]

2 - Trust or Trust (Reprise) - Sixpence
3 - Beautiful Scandalous Night - The Choir
4-8 - At least 1 song each from Bread and Circus, Pale, Fear, Dulcinea, and maybe […]

I brought my Waterdeep CD’s with me to the Christian youth camp I worked at for a couple summers in college, and played them in the kitchen where we were working. A coworker of mine (”Sweeper,” for those in the know) hated it whenever it was my turn to pick the music and I put […]

My father told me never to fear
All of the darkness that I see down here
He said not to worry, you’ll be okay
Just don’t become a part of the deadly game
And if you’re troubled by all the hate
Don’t look aside, just stare it in the face
And you can love them like you should
Love all the people […]

The girl you love
You’ve tried to tell her that
That you love her so
But if she’s supposed
To love you back
She doesn’t seem to know
Just to be fair

It’s not always this way
Once in a while
From behind your back
You can hear somebody say
“No one told you
That I am really here
But I have been all […]
