Finally, a female artist! :)

Well, today i actually started packing my things. It is starting to get really real-- I leave for school in six days! I'm finally starting to feel ready for it too.

For some suggestions today I thought I'd recommend a great female artist. I've realized that I listen to mostly male bands, which I had never noticed till I started this whole blog thing haha. Elisa is a wonderful artist and the song I'm going to introduce is called "The Waves." If you like the song some other good songs by Elisa are "Dancing" and "Rock Your Soul." She's really good at the power notes, her songs are super emotional, and she really has an outstanding voice. 

The next artist is Dave Barnes, who also has a spectacular voice. Now normally I wouldn't use a live video because either the artist sucks live, or the crowd is too loud. But i've decided to post this live version of "Grace's Amazing Hands;" I really love this song and Dave Barnes does a great job live, plus there aren't any good videos of the recorded version. (Be forewarned that there is a pretty decently long guitar solo). Dave Barnes' EP "Three, Then Four" is absolutely fantastic, I encourage you to check it out. Another good song by him that is not on that EP is "God Gave Me You." And if you like him I'd recommend checking out Marc Broussard, who I'll probably feature on here at some point because he is also equally amazing. Enjoy :)

As always let me know what you think of these songs :) 

Hi sorry I haven't posted in a while

Hi! So I've been lame and I thought that when I went on vacation I was going to have access to a computer... obviously I was wrong haha. I just got back from visiting relatives who live in Boston and met up with my cousin and uncle from Australia. It was a great trip, I love visiting family. :)


Also the college countdown will start with this post! I only have EIGHT days till I leave for school. It's actually starting to hit me now! I can't believe it, I don't feel like I should be this old. To make it all the more nerve wracking I'm not anywhere close to being ready or packed or anything. Now on to some suggestions:


"You Make it Real" by James Morrison. This song has wonderful vocals and some really interesting lyrics. All of the videos with lyrics had poor sound quality so I'm going to post them below the video. Some other great songs by James Morrison are "The Letter" and "This Boy."  


I definitely hope to post more than I have been. Let me know what you think of the song!


 


There's so much craziness, surrounding me 
There's so much going on, it gets hard to breathe 
When all my faith has gone, you bring it back to me 
You make it real for me 

When I'm not sure of, my priorities 
When I've lost site of, where I'm meant to be 
Like holy water, washing over me 
You make it real for me 

And I'm running to you baby 
You are the only one who saved me 
That's why I've been missing you lately 
Cause you make it real for me 

When my head is strong, but my heart is weak 
I'm full of arrogance, and uncertainty 
But I can find the words, you teach my heart to speak 
You make it real for me, yeah

And I'm running to you baby 
Cause you are the only one who saved me 
That's why I've been missing you lately 
Cause you make it real for me 

Everybodies talking in words 
I don't understand 
You got to be the only one 
Who knows just who I am 
Your shinin in the distance 
I hope I can make it through 
Cause the only place 
That I want to be 
Is right back home with you 

I guess there's so much more 
I have to learn 
But if you're here with me 
I know which way to turn 
You always give me somewhere, 
Somewhere I can learn 
You make it real for me 

And I'm running to you baby 
Cause you are the only one who saved me 
That's why I've been missing you lately 
Cause you make it real for me 

You make it real for me
