REGINA SPEKTOR/Dance Anthem of the 80's

LOL I was walking down the street in the Big Festy City (filled with odours d'puke, piss, cig smoke, smog and BOOZE) and I couldn't help but think how appropriate this song was... however contrary to the title it seems to also very much apply to the current era! LOL



There's a meat market down the street
The boys and girls watch each other eat
The boys and the girls watch each other eat
When they really just wanna watch each other

Sleep
They want to watch, to watch each other
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Sleep
They want to watch, to watch each other
Sleep, sleep, sleep

HILLTOP HOODS/the nosebleed section

Sheeeesh! how the hell did I miss such a COOL SONG?? right in my own backyard? LOL, it took a DUTCHMEN the other side of the world for me to actually listen to this band for the very first time! Slooooow.

Anyway I like em. Very Beastie Boys, maybe even cooler but maybe a bit too long winded and repetitive...

But yeah...*catchy* :)

too bad it ain't spring. but yeah cheers up these wet and cold autumn doldrums :P

HILLSONG/Forever Reign

LOL when did IIIII become a HILLSONG groupie?!!

(HILLSONG is like the huge rock concert version of christian church home grown in Oz...not for the faint hearted or crowd-a-phobic, lol!)

Anyway no unfair bias...it's a good song! Well at least my favourite on the album "A Beautiful Exchange" which my friend sent me...boy am I ever lucky these days...always getting sent PRESENTS!!! ; )

So anyway since it's coming to that most important time of year...I wanted to post an appropriately themed song...I have included lyrics so you can sing along...




You are good, you are good
When there's nothing good in me
You are love, you are love
On display for all to see
You are light, you are light
When the darkness closes in
You are hope, you are hope
You have covered all my sin

You are peace, you are peace
When my fear is crippling
You are true, you are true
Even in my wondering
You are joy, you are joy
You're the reason that I sing
You are life, you are life
In you death has lost its sting

Chorus:
Oh, I'm running to your arms
I'm running to your arms
The riches of your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

You are more, you are more
Than my words will ever say
You are Lord, you are Lord
All creation will proclaim
You are here, you are here
In your prescence I'm made whole
You are God, you are God
Of all else I'm letting go

Chorus:
Oh, I'm running to your arms
I'm running to your arms
The riches of your love
Will always be enough
Nothing comares to your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

Chorus:
I'm running to your arms
I'm running to your arms
The riches of your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

My heart will sing no other name
Jesus, Jesus
My heart will sing no other name
Jesus, Jesus
My heart will sing no other name
Jesus, Jesus
My heart will sing no other name
Jesus, Jesus

Chorus:
Oh, I'm running to your arms
I'm running to your arms
The riches of your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

Chorus:
I'm running to your arms
I'm running to your arms
The riches of your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

COLDPLAY/Viva La Vida

Okay so I'm still undecided about whether I like this musically as a song or not- I think just I am a sucker for anything that has a cello or string underlay.

In terms of the video though WOW this has got to be the WORST TACKIEST UNCREATIVE music video for a really mainstream song!

I think at 70 million? hits this probably takes the cake by a few zillion for the most commercial clip I have ever posted on here...LOL

Here is the daggy video and catchy but so so song:



actually once you change the clip the song just improves immeasurably! but I'm too lazy to repost...

Tom Tuena/Walking Your Way

Well folks...cos it's Sunday and I'm wondering whether I can get myself out of bed to church, I thoughtI'd put up some praise & worship in the form of talented muso Tom Tuena who I was lucky to see for free by accident while I was travelling back in Jan.

Apart from Sufjan Stevens, not aware of any young musos in this generation that are openly Christian...and SO IN TOUCH WITH GOD! Anyway it was a great energy to be present for and was very inspiring for me on my own walk with God :)

So here is Tom with his original song that oozes faith and a living relationship with God...this version is from last October- it was a much better rendition by the time I saw it in Jan...or maybe cos Live is always eons better than crappy youtube recordings, lol.

Enjoy...
