SARAH JAFFE: SUMMER BEGS (LIVE)

Listen to SARAH JAFFE's "Summer Begs", one of my favorite track from her album Suburban Nature. Were this music food, it'd be fit for the gods.


(lyrics)

Somewhere someone's sleeping
somewhere someone's weeping
somewhere someone's listening
to the sound of a record spinning

Sing to me now
right out your window
your father'd be proud
now that it's simple
but don't sing too loud
you'll wake up the neighbors
and they will complain
so I must persuade them

Hold it right there
I don't wanna move
and summer it begs
it begs us to prove
that we can last
just one more season
and that there, gives me a reason

Secrets are for keeping
that's what gives them their meaning
it's your certain proclamation
and it needs no explanation

Sing to me now...
(...)
Hold it right there...

I for one I'm willing
to stay here until you're willing
maybe you're not ready
to handle something steady

Sing to me now...
(...)

OWL CITY: IN CHRIST ALONE

Adam Young, best known as the pop sensation OWL CITY recorded a beautiful song called "In Christ Alone," which was featured on his blog, Such an amazing song! You can totally feel that Adam is worshiping through this song; that it is more about God than the music. MUST LISTEN!


(lyrics)

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light,my strength,my song.
This cornerstone,this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

What heights of love,what depths of peace
When fears are stilled and strivings cease
My comforter,my all in all
Here in the power of Christ i stand.

There in the ground his body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain.
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave he rose again!

And as he stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For i am his and he is mine
Bought with the precious blood of christ.

No guilt in life,no fear in death...
This is the power of Christ in me!
From life's first cry ro final breath
Jesus commands my destiny.

No power of hell,no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from his hand
Till he returns or calls me home,
here in the power of Christ i'll stand.

Till he returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ.....

I'LL STAND.

ISLANDS their voices and tunes are like all the delicious parts of a fruit salad. Healthy to the soul and tasteful to the ears!
