I’M BACK FOR X-mas

I’m Back
Hi everyone. I’m back for christmas and really hope to keep blogging weekly from this point on.

Carol Covers
This year i thought i would share with you some of my favourite covers for christmas carols-although technically all sung christmas carols could be considered covers what i am referring to here is people who sing well know carols, but play with them in fun musical ways. Listen to the ones i choose and see what you think.

Kendall Payne
My first pick is Kendall Paynes cover of O Come, O Come Emmanuel. It is a funky, wonderful rendition of one of my favourite carols.

Love Lights our way through the Night

I share One Heart sung by Celine Dion because the line ‘love lights your way through the night’ reminds me, whan i hear it, that God is with us when we are struggling or going through hard times.   Yeah!

One Heart
Written by John Shanks, Kara DioGuardi

One heart you are following…
You can run
And you can begin
In a place
Where you don’t fit in
‘Cause love will find a way
When you’re down
You can start again
Turn around
Anything you’re in
Love will find a place
If you got…

One heart you are following
One dream that keeps you wandering
Love lights your way through the night
One wish that keeps you trying
What’s your silver lining
Love lights your way through the nightYou can fall a thousand times
You can feel like you’ve lost your mind
But love will find a way
And a minute
Can change your life
And a moment can make it right
Love will find a place

ChorusEverybody needs something to hold onto
(Repeat)
If you got…
One heart you are following
One dream that keeps you wandering
Love lights your way through the night
One wish that keeps you trying
What’s your silver lining
Love lights your way through the night
Is it your own
Is it your own

lyrics found on Celine’s website

Salvation is free

Salvation,  salvation, salvation is free,
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free

From the song Salvation by the Cranberries

Yes it is!!! Yeah!

One Heart

I like this Celine Dion song because it encourages me. For me the love in the song is God and so the lyrics help me remember that God is helping, encouraging and supporting me. I found the lyrics at lyrics.coolfreepages.

 You can run and you can begin’
In a place where you don’t fit in
Love will find a way …yeah

When you’re down, you can start again
Turn around and you think you’re in
Love will find a place yeah

If you got one heart you are followin’
One dream keeps you wondering
Love lights your way through the night
One wish keeps you tryin’
Once your silver lining
Loves lights your way through the night

You can fall a thousand time
You can feel like you’ve lost your mind
Love will find a way oh yeah yeah
In a minute it can change your life
In a moment it can make you right
Love will find a place yeah

If you got one heart you are followin’
One dream keeps you wondering
Love lights your way through the night
One wish keeps you tryin’
Once your silver linin’
Loves lights your way through the night

Everybody needs something to hold on to
Everybody needs something to hold on to
if you got one heart you are followin’
one dream keeps u wondering
love lights your way through the night
One wish keeps you tryin’
once your silver linin’
Loves lights your way through the night

One wish keeps you tryin’
Once your silver linin’
Loves lights your way through the night

Love will find a way
Love will find a way in your heart

COMPLICATED

My post this week is on the song Complicated by Avril Lavigne. I find the lyrics express an important truth that God tries to communicate to us, be yourself-I like you. I found the lyrics on Lyrics007.

Complicated
Avril Lavigne

Uh-huh,
Life’s like this
Uh-huh, uh-huh
That’s the way it is
‘Cause life’s like this
Uh-huh, uh-huh
That’s the way it is

Chill out,
What you yellin’ for?
Lay back, it’s all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see

I like you the way you are
When we’re, driving in my car
And you’re talking to me
One on one
But you become

Somebody else
‘Round everyone else
Watchin’ your back
Like you can’t relax
You’re tryin’ to be cool
You look like a fool
To me
Tell me

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you’re
Acting like you’re somebody else gets me frustrated
Life’s like this, you
And you fall and you crawl
And you break and you take
What you get and you turn it into
Honesty Promise me I’m never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no

You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you’re something else
Where you are and
Where you sat, you see
You’re making me
Laugh out
When you strike a pose
Take off all your preppy clothes
You know
You’re not fooling anyone
When you become

Somebody else
‘Round everyone else
Watchin’ your back
Like you can’t relax
Tryin’ to be cool
You look like a fool
To me
Tell me

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you’re
Acting like you’re somebody else gets me frustrated
Life’s like this, you
And you fall and you crawl
And you break and you take
What you get and you turn it into
Honesty Promise me
I’m never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no…

Chill out,
What you yellin’ for?
Lay back, it’s all been done before
And if you could let it be
You will see

Somebody else
‘Round everyone else
You’re watchin’ your back
Like you can’t relax
You’re tryin’ to be cool
You look like a fool
To me,

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you’re
Acting like you’re somebody else gets me frustrated
Life’s like this, you
And you fall and you crawl
And you break and you take
What you get and you turn it into
Honesty Promise me I’m never gonna find you fake it
No, no

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you’re
Acting like you’re somebody else gets me frustrated
Life’s like this, you
And you fall and you crawl
And you break and you take
What you get and you turn it into
Honesty Promise me I’m never gonna find you fake it
