Renaissance 2.0
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…
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…
Today’s my birthday so I’d like to share one of my favorite songs of all-time. “God of Wonders” is by Third Day and Caedman’s Call for a special City on the Hill project they did together with other Christian music artists. I hope you listen to the song even if you’re not a Christian. It’s…
it’s always sad whenever the world loses a gifted artist, but it’s especially tragic when they die as young as Minnie Ripperton was (31). She’s famous for her one and only number one song, “Loving You” with its amazing 5 1/2 Octav range. It’s still a beautiful song and extremely bittersweet when you think about…
Some People from 1985 by Belouis Some is an infectiously likable tune. After all these years it still puts a smile on my face. The music video is especially enjoyable. The young dancers and the choreography are splendid as are the older actors in the story. In the video, Belouis portrays some kind of pied…
Sometimes, don’t you feel like telling the world to shut their yapper? I’ve always loved Julian Cope’s “World Shut Your Mouth” cause of its unusual sentiment. The music video is unusual too, checkout the unique mic stand he uses. Julian was in a band I liked from the 80s called The Teardrop Explodes. WORLD SHUT…
Here’s a song called BREATHE by Angels and Airwaves. BREATHE A blue, black shade of love. Sent from above. My hands are tied to worlds alone, And this I know. Your breath’s like wine, And just like clouds, my skin crawls. It’s so divine, the sky it glows with fields of light. Did you know…
