You're a God who has all things, and still You want me...
This song pretty much describes my life's spiritual journey. I spent so much time doing meaningless things and being lost and not knowing where to go. Pushing Him away. But He never left me. He loved me so much that He eventually put me in a position where I was able to open my door, reach out and let Him in. I had it on loop for 6 hours during work. Great song. And BarlowGirl is a great band. Hope they tour Canada.
A friend told me that once you start listening to these type of songs, you'll never go back to listening to "today's" music. And in a way, it's true for the most part. And I completely agree. When I did listen to some of these "today's music", which are mostly about party, drugs, sex, [insert more immoral things here], I never really listened or pay attention to the lyrics because I just simply liked the beats and sound/rhymes. I guess that's why I prefer listening to video game music, instrumental music and trance. They seem to have more meaning and/or emotion, in a way. And peaceful, in a way.
I have actually liked these inspirational type of songs and I still do. I just don't know the name of the singers to be looking for. Because there are songs that I can't stand even if it's meaningful (eeek!) because of the way it sounds. So another friend gave me the annoyed look because of my reasoning. Even suggested some artists which I can't remember except for Chris Tomlin. I also answered my own question too, INTERNET!
So with that little push, I took the time to do some research. Wanted 2 male and 2 female for a nice variety. I also wanted something that will not annoy me. Because let's face it, if you can't stand the music, why force yourself to listen to it? So with that in mind, I was looking for light rock, pop'ish, BackStreet Boys, Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne, Evanescense type. Bought 4 albums off iTunes.
- The Afters - Light Up the Sky
- Matthew West - The Story of Your Life
- Audrey Assad - Heart
- BarlowGirl - Our Journey... So Far
Already have some memorized and the song above is one of them! Well you would think if someone just listened to it for 6 hours straight, they would have it memorized, yeah? In any case, the only other music I listen to are love songs, songs that has a meaning but not necessarily a worship song (ie. Jessie J - Price Tag), or music without lyrics. Though I haven't listened to them in a while. These 4 albums just have so much meaning.
In other news, I did some changes in my "About Me" and "Copyright" pages.
God bless!
