Random like my brain

At this moment I am listening to Stop and Stare by One Republic on my Ipod. I didn't put this song on it. I didn't put any songs on it. They are all my friend Savannah's song cause one week ago this was her ipod. "Steady feet don't fail me now." I bought it from her. I don't know how i know this song but i have heard it before and its really good. I really have no real idea what it is about. But i like it so i will not try to find a secret meaning behind it. So at this moment i don't really know what is going through my mind. I'm listening to a song, (oh my just changed to don't stop the music by rhianna. Now i feel like dancing and partying instead of being wise and awesome) Seriously now i'm like bobbing away to this song. please don't stop the please don't stop this. Man if this doesn't prove the short term attention span of teenagers i don't know what will.


Read Mike from Tenth Avenue North's blog....Now that is deep.

Blog

So i decided to write a blog today. Don't have a song to write about or any profound words. Just wanted to write cause i'm not dead. I would like to write more often and its not like i dont have the time...I guess i'm just lazy. Hmmm...go listen to abandon and philmont. Good stuff. I want to go to a concert. Jeremy Camp will be in town in two weeks and i really want to go. I have never really been a fan of his until recently. I have his newest cd and it is soooo amazing! like really really really. I just don't want to go by myself or with my mom (which is what i'll probably end up doing)..oh well at least i'll get to see him. Saw him about 3 months ago in phoenix. He was really good but we were really there for Tenth avenue North :D. Well thats my thoughts.....for now.

Sweet Sweet Sound

"I am an instrument of the living God
My life a melody to His name
More than the songs I sing
Worship is everything
I live to glorify my King

Hear the song of my life
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
I raise this anthem high
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound

Through all the mire and clay
You're washing me with grace
You carry me, oh Lord, through it all
So I will testify even in the fire
I live to praise my Savior

Hear the song of my life
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
I raise this anthem high
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound

Let everything that has breath
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord
And all creation will sing Hallelujah

Hear the song of my life
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
I raise this anthem high

Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
(Let it be a sweet, sweet sound) "


I'm so lucky to be "friends" (i.e. myspace friends) with Rush of Fools and Selena Gomez. What do these two completely different artists have in common?? They are both huge fans of Sarah Reeves. And without them i would have no idea who she was. If you have never heard her sing you should. Her voice is amazing!! and so are her songs.

So what do i think of this song???
Our lifes are kind of like songs in an essence....What does God think of my "song"? I would hope He think of it as a sweet sound. Am I pleasing to Him? With everything i do am i praising Him?
This song is so simple yet it says so much. If you just truly listen to it.

Freedom Begins Here

Freedom Begins Here-Rush of Fools

"Hello.
You think you're all alone
When everybody knows we all have the scars
Inside that tear apart night after night.
Is this where you are?

Step out to the light. Come outside.
Step out to the day. It'll be okay.
We all feel the same. Don't be afraid.
Let your freedom begin here.

Goodbye.
Gone are the days we buy the lie
We try to pretend we're doing fine.
But we're not right, we're not right.
Is this where you are?

Step out to the light. Come outside.
Step out to the day. It'll be okay.
We all feel the same. Don't be afraid.
Let your freedom begin here.

All the secrets that we keep are making us
Who we don't want to be
Its killing us.
Like we're drowning in the sea
Just coming up.
We're just coming up for air
Tell me are you there?????

Step out to the light. Come outside.
Step out to the day. It'll be okay.
WE ALL FEEL THE SAME. DON'T BE AFRAID.
Let your freedom begin here.

I can't tell you how many times i've felt alone. Felt like nobody had any idea how i was feeling. How could anybody know? Just looking around at everyone around me always thinking how could they be going through anything hard? their lifes seem so perfect. Key word----seem. I can't see what's going on inside. No human can. Just cause they are happy on the outside doesn't mean they are okay on the inside. I have to say i am great at pretending i am okay. This is definitely NOT something to be proud of but i just always thought people had there own problems why give them something else to worry about. Yes i still have trouble expressing myself and i still keep alot of things inside but i'm working on it...



Anyways....this song is AH-mazing. This song makes me so sad because it is so true. Everybody is keeping everything inside and it is killing us. We don't need to have those scars tearing us apart night after night. There are so many people who care. WE have to let it out and not be afraid. Let the freedom begin.

Listen to it : )
