Kate Voegele – Lift Me Up

Kiel — Wed, 06 May 2009 04:09:25 +0000

I haven’t listened to very much of Kate Voegele, but as I was looking for new music tonight, I came across this wonderful song. For me, this song shows that life is difficult, but that those difficulties result in something much greater. I love the song’s simple message, the piano as the main instrument, and Kate’s awesome voice. I don’t know if this song will win any awards and it’s certainly not my favorite song of all time, but still worth a listen. Enjoy!

Lift Me Up
Kate Voegele

This road is anything but simple
Twisted like a riddle I’ve seen high and I’ve seen low
So loud, the voices of all my doubts
Telling me to give up, to pack up and leave town

Even so, I had to believe
Impossible means nothing to me, yeah

So can you lift me up,
Turn the ashes into flames
‘Cause I have overcome
More than words will ever say
And I’ve been given hope
That there’s a light on up the hall
And that a day will come
When the fight is won
And I think that day has just begun

Somewhere, every body starts there
I’m counting on a small prayer,
Lost in a nightmare
But I’m here, and suddenly it’s so clear
The struggle through the long years
It taught me to outrun my fears

Everything worth having, oh
Comes with trials worth withstanding

Oh, lift me up
Oh, lift me up
Oh, lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up
Oh, Lift me up

Down and out is overrated
And I need to be elevated
Looking up is not enough
No, I would rather rise above

Oh, oh, oh, just begun
Lift me up, yeah, oh, oh, oh, yeah, now
Oh, oh, lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up

Norah Jones – Thinking About You

Kiel — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 04:21:38 +0000

As always, I’m looking for new music and I came across this one by Norah Jones. Funny thing is, I had already had it in my iTunes library. As I listened to it, I loved it’s simplicity and I just really love Norah’s voice and the tone of her music… it is EXCELLENT chill music. Enjoy!

Thinking About You
Norah Jones

Yesterday I saw the sun shinin’,
And the leaves were fallin’ down softly,
My cold hands needed a warm, warm touch,
And I was thinkin’ about you.

Here I am lookin’ for signs of leaving,
You hold my hand, but do you really need me?
I guess it’s time for me to let you go,
And I’ve been thinkin’ about you,
I’ve been thinkin’ about you.

When you sail across the ocean waters,
And you reach the other side safely,
Could you smile a little smile for me?
’cause I’ll be thinkin’ about you,
I’ll be thinkin’ about you,
I’ll be thinkin’ about you,
I’ll be thinkin’ about you.

Hayley Westenra – Prayer

Kiel — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 17:43:28 +0000

Hayley Westenra has a VERY beautiful voice and I absolutely love the message of this song. My favorite verse is when she sings: “Let your arms enfold us, Through the dark of night, Will your angels hold us, Till we see the light.” This woman has the voice of an angel.

Prayer
Hayley Westenra

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light

Hush, lay down your troubled mind
The day has vanished and left us behind
And the wind – whispering soft lullabies
Will soothe – so close your eyes

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light

Sleep, angels will watch over you
And soon beautiful dreams will come true
Can you feel spirits embracing your soul
So dream while secrets of darkness unfold

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light

ADELE – Make You Feel My Love

Kiel — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 05:35:26 +0000

My brother gave me an iTunes gift card, so I’ve been searching for new music that I might not buy otherwise. I came across ADELE and loved her song, “Chasing Pavements,” so I figured I’d look for other songs by her. “Make You Feel My Love” is pretty good, it probably won’t be on my top list, but the lyrics are definitely awesome!

Make You Feel My Love
ADELE

When the rain
Is blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows
And the stars appear
And there is no one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you
Haven’t made
Your mind up yet
But I would never
Do you wrong
I’ve known it
From the moment
That we met
No doubt in my mind
Where you belong

I’d go hungry
I’d go black and blue
I’d go crawling
Down the avenue
No, there’s nothing
That I wouldn’t do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging
On the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change
Are throwing wild and free
You ain’t seen nothing
Like me yet

I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn’t do
Go to the ends
Of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love

Joseph Arthur – In The Sun

Kiel — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 06:12:00 +0000

I’ve been a fan of Joseph Arthur for several years since I came across some of his music. I like this song, “In the Sun”, because of it’s depth. To me, it tells the story of a man who was with a girl who brought out the best (and possibly worst) in him. Now that she’s no longer in his life, he has pictures in his mind of how she’s handling the break-up. And it seems like he wants to apologize, but the opportunity hasn’t presented itself.

I don’t know why, but I just love this song. The instrumentals are done well, his voice fits well, and the lyrics are pretty awesome. Here’s a video of Joseph singing “In the Sun,” it’s not the studio version, but it still sounds pretty good. I hope you enjoy!

In the Sun
Joseph Arthur

I picture you in the sun wondering what went wrong
And falling down on your knees asking for sympathy
And being caught in between all you wish for and all you seen
And trying to find anything you can feel that you can believe in

May God’s love be with you
Always
May God’s love be with you

I know i would apologize if i could see your eyes
‘Cause when you showed me myself i became someone else
But i was caught in between all you wish for and all you need
I picture you fast asleep
A nightmare comes
You can’t keep awake

May God’s love be with you
Always
May God’s love be with you

‘Cause if i find
If i find my own way
How much will i find
If i find
If i find my own way
How much will i find
You

I don’t know anymore
What it’s for
I’m not even sure
If there is anyone who is in the sun
Will you help me to understand
‘Cause i been caught in between all I wish for and all I need
Maybe you’re not even sure what it’s for
Any more than me

May God’s love be with you
Always
May God’s love be with you

The Fray – You Found Me

Kiel — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 22:04:14 +0000

This is an interesting song by The Fray. It’s about a man asking God some questions, like, “where were you?” I haven’t processed through it, but though i’d share it with all of you.

You Found Me
The Fray

I found God
On the corner of First and Amistad
Where the west
Was all but won
All alone
Smoking his last cigarette
I said, “Where you been?”
He said, “Ask anything.”

Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Were spent by the telephone
That never rang
And all I needed was a call
It never came
To the corner of First and Amistad

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me

In the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing her
The only one who’s ever known
Who I am
Who I’m not, and who I want to be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me

Early morning
The city breaks
I’ve been calling
For years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve
Taking all I want

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Where were you, where were you?

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me

Why’d you have to wait
To find me, to find me?

Chris Tomlin – God of This City

Kiel — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 03:44:33 +0000

As I continue looking for new songs, I am continually amazed how talented Chris Tomlin is. For those of you who don’t know who he is, let’s just say that he’s kind of a big deal in Christian music… almost like… well, there is no comparison. Time and again he writes excellent songs and this is no exception. We recently played this song at our Covenant Community gathering at Grace.

I think sometimes we forget who is in charge. It’s not a mayor, governor, or president… but God. We can influence our communities… our cities. Some friends and I were recently inspired by our church’s Weekend of Service that we have decided that we want to contribute to our community by serving the homeless. It started out as, “we’ll cook meals and take them downtown on Tuesdays.” But then we realized that there are already organizations out there doing these things, so we’re going to connect with them.

Anyways… back to Tomlin. It’s a great song… enjoy!

God of This City
Chris Tomlin

You’re the God of this city
You’re the King of these people
You’re the Lord of this nation
You Are

For there is no one like our God
There is no one like our God

Greater things have yet to come
Great things are still to be done
In this city
Greater things are still to come
And greater things are still to be done here

You’re the Lord of Creation
The Creator of all things
You’re the King above all Kings
You Are

You’re the strength in our weakness
You’re the love to the broken
You’re the joy in the sadness
You Are

Greater things have yet to come
Great things are still to be done
In this city
Where glory shines from hearts alive
With praise for you and love for you
In this city

Greater things have yet to come
Great things are still to be done
In this city
Greater things are still to come
And greater things are still to be done here

Alanis Morissette – Head Over Feet

Kiel — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 04:40:24 +0000

I don’t know how or why this song by Alanis Morissette got into my head today, but I immediately loaded up iTunes on my iPhone and downloaded it. It’s a great song and Alanis has an awesome voice.

Head Over Feet
Alanis Morissette

I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it

You treat me like I’m a princess
I’m not used to liking that
You ask how my day was

You’ve already won me over in spite of me
And don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your fault

Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You’re so much braver than I gave you credit for
That’s not lip service

You’ve already won me over in spite of me
And don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your fault

You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience

You’re the best listener that I’ve ever met
You’re my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long

I’ve never felt this healthy before
I’ve never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now

You’ve already won me over in spite of me
And don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your fault

Martina McBride – Anyway

Kiel — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 03:17:44 +0000

This song was played at a memorial service I was at today. It has a great message about how sometimes things don’t work out the way we expect, but we keep going… really got me thinkin.

Anyway
Martina McBride

You can spend your whole life building
Something from nothin’
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You can chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway

God is great
But sometimes life ain’t good
And when I pray
It doesn’t always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

This world’s gone crazy
It’s hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
In a moment they can choose to walk away
Love ‘em anyway

God is great
But sometimes life ain’t good
And when I pray
It doesn’t always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
Yea – I do it anyway

You can pour your soul out singing
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they’ll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yea, sing it anyway
Yeah, yeah!

I sing
I dream
I love anyway
