Song of the Day

Gardiner Sisters - "Disney Love Song Medley"

1/19/2021

Ah Random Tuesdays.

What is a better thing to have for a random pick than a medley of several songs?

And Disney. For the win. :)

Come stop you crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand, hold it thight, now
I will protect you from all around you
I will be here, don't you cry

American Idiot - "Last Of The American Girls"

1/18/2021

To this day I am still amazed at the sheer luck Amanda and I had to see this show. It was a whim, a simple choice of what was affordable and a desire to see something on Broadway that day.

We wound up seeing this show in its last month, 12th row, and completely blown away.

And this song? Hell yes as a personal theme. A solid rocker with a story about a girl. Oh and the video below? That's not just Green Day - it's also the incredible women that starred on BROADWAY. Yup.

She sings the revolution
The dawning of our lives
She brings this liberation
That I just can't define
Nothing comes to mind

She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's salt of the earth
And she's dangerous

Michael W. Smith - "Surrounded (Fight My Battles)"

1/17/2021

Last year I got this vision in my head of a sword and shield, and had it on my heart that the Lord is the provider of strength and safety. I didn't know what it meant or when I would need to realize it, but after some family turned their backs over a statement I made (which I didn't make in a political light yet, well, that's how it was taken, and poorly), and a few intense days of depression that followed, this song played on the radio. It's all of three lines total, two really when you look at it. But the power as I shouted it out so loudly on the highway - that's when I knew where my strength to face this came from.

It may look like I'm surrounded
But I'm surrounded by You

This is how I fight my battles

David Bowie - "Starman"

By far one of my favorites in my vinyl collection is the soundtrack to my bedtime, Ziggy Stardust. Yup, that explains a lot.

So on Saturdays sometimes, I just need to throw this on and enjoy connecting to the heavens.

Also, I just realized I have a very very similar blue guitar. It's the first and only one my mom got me. Stellar.

Some cat was layin down some rock 'n' roll
"Lotta soul," he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no DJ, that was hazy cosmic jive

There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds

Hunter Hayes - "The One That Got Away"

1/15/2021

When the article that pops up saying "Hunter Hayes finds freedom in new single" you come to realize what a song is about way quicker than you were catching on in your first listen. Fear not, Hunter's still a good country boy, but it sounds like Red Sky (Part II) is more studio based, with polish and (dare I say) pop influence. God this is going to be good in summer wind with the top off the Jeep.

Cause you broke so much more than just a promise
When you made me believe I wasn't wanted
I could miss you like you want but if I'm honest

I feel like the one that got away
Don't know how I escaped
Breathing better cause I'm better now
In the middle of the night
Made it to the other side
You can run but you can't catch me now
I'm the one that got away

Bruno Mars - "Grenade"

Okay first off, the video and Bruno dragging a piano along brings a whole other element of your career not caring enough about you to this song. Just my twisted head? K, moving on.

This song was #1 ten years ago. At that point, we were still figuring out if Bruno was a new, fresh version of MJ, and he was showing us he is all his own. This is emotional and the vocals on it are gorgeous, especially for a pop song of this nature.

But that video... keep watching, through to the end. Talk about a mini-movie on top of it all.

Black, black, black and blue
Beat me 'til I'm numb
Tell the devil I said "Hey" when you get back to where you're from
Mad woman, bad woman
That's just what you are
Yeah, you'll smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car

Anna Hamilton - "In My Head"

Anna seems so youthful when you first see her and her work, and even down to her Instagram handle you'll find fun and humor. But this is a slightly darker on the air number that is truly introspective. It's a relatable condition - that you get stuck in that internal narrative that hasn't even fully played out. It's not fair to ourselves, but it really is the truth.

I obsess about the mess
That I haven't even made yet
When I get upset over nothing
Another side effect
I can't help it
In my head

Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris - "We Found Love"

1/12/2021

Ah the randomness of random Tuesday treats us real good sometimes y'all.

I mean look, you can associate this song with whatever you want - drugs, sex, freedom, whatever. It's an anthem of finding something good in the bad, and honestly if you want to find a way to deny that, then I don't think we need to hear from you anyway.

Shine a light through an open door
Love and life I will divide
Turn away 'cause I need you more
Feel the heartbeat in my mind

It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go

We found love in a hopeless place

Dear Evan Hansen - "For Forever"

I look forward to being two friends on a perfect day someday soon, bestie.

One foot after the other
One branch then to another
I climb higher and higher
I climb 'til the entire
Sun shines on my face

And I suddenly feel the branch give way
I'm on the ground
My arm goes numb
I look around
And I see him come to get me
He's come to get me
And everything's okay

Lauren Daigle - "Still Rolling Stones"

I'll be real with y'all, for personal reasons I took some time away from listening to Lauren's music, but there's no denying her power and message and I had to come back to it for the incredibleness that it holds.

In a week of weakness, binge-eating, barely moving from my bed, just in a terrible state, it was hard to remember whose I am and what I'm meant for. It's not this. We're still rolling. We're still capable. It's time to rise up and remind people what real Christian love looks like.

Six feet under
I thought it was over
An answer to prayer
The voice of a Savior
Rise up
