Renaissance 2.0
I’m numb from having just experienced this wonderfully poignant song called “From Where You Are” by Jason Wade of Lifehouse, one of my favorite bands. He wrote the song for the AllState’s Teen Driving Progam and dedicated it to all teens that have perished in auto accidents. It was also a tribute to his friend…
I love Imogen Heap! I just adore her voice and the way she sings. I also think she’s beautiful and has such an unique and original spirit and vibe. I also love her old group Frou Frou.They’ve had a bunch of their songs featured in motion pictures and popular TV shows such as CSI Miami,…
I experienced this song for the first time recently through a friend of mine. I’ve always loved Sade but never heard this one before. Not even sure when it came out. All I know is that I love the song, the lyrics, the mood it elicits, the way she looks is amazing and the way…
Tasmin Archer isn’t well-known in the USA but she’s been a pop star for many years world-wide. My favorite song is the first one that I ever heard from her called “Sleeping Satellite” (1992). Sleeping Satellite I blame you for the moonlit sky and the dream that died with the eagles’ flight I blame you…
The classic “Ooh Child” by the StairSteps is timeless and continues to be used in movies, commercials and others mediums. It’s a beautiful and positive anthem that speaks to every generation that hears it. The fact that all this talent comes from a family not named Jackson is absolutely astounding! Here’s a live performance of…
On April 20, 1999, Cassie Bernall, a junior at Columbine High in Littleton, Colorado, was a typical teenager having a typical day, then a classmate aimed a gun at her and asked if she believed in God. She said “Yes”. Even though she witnessed another classmate get shot for answering yes moments earlier, she still…
Amy Grant has done a ton of great songs, Christian or otherwise. For some reason, “Lead Me On” has always been one my favorites. Michael W. Smith wrote the song, so it’s no wonder why I love it because he’s another favorite of mine. The music video is well done too. She’s out in the…
I’ve heard some horror stories from friends who’ve committed adultery and every time they’ve been filled with guilt and remorse and regret. I guess some people have to learn things the hard way in life. Some just have to find out if the grass is greener on the other side while others just know what’s…
Everything But the Girl’s “Apron Strings” is the other unforgetable song from the movie “She’s Having a Baby” (1988) that I’ve covered on here before (“This Woman’s Work”). It’s such a beautiful song about a common every day object that takes on monumental meaning. Every little thing changes when you have a baby and it’s…
I love Carly Simon and especially her classic “You’re So Vain” which she’s never revealed who it was about. Rumors have always been that it was about Warren Beatty or Mick Jagger who actually sings background vocals in the song. Here’s a shortened version of the song followed by the full version live performance. Then…
