A Little Music Appreciation
It’s hot here today in Los Angeles. Brian said that it hit 100F, yikes! And while I was planning on blogging a little more on Frank Schaeffer, I’m just too hot and lazy. . . So I think I’m gonna save that for later and instead write about something that requires less thought, but still enjoyable nonetheless. I know this has made the rounds several times already, but it really was just fun to watch and is a feel good video so I’m gonna put it up for the remote chance that someone hasn’t seen this yet. Like most of those who first saw Susan Boyle, I was pleasantly surprised! Just click onto the picture for the video.
After watching Susan Boyle I started to think of all the people who have lovely voices. Unfortunately, I’m not one, but I wonder if I’ll get a better voice in the next life? Ha! With that thought I thought imagine what beautiful music we might hear in heaven? If we have people here on earth with beautiful voices, just imagine what sounds we might hear in heaven? I bet it would just blow us away.
When it comes to music, I’d say I like a variety of styles. Recently I’ve been enjoying listening to Elisa. I particularly like her song, Dancing. She has such a lovely voice.
For those who are familiar with Bic Runga and her old album, Drive, there is a little part in the music video above that reminded me of Bic Runga. It’s been years since this video came out, but I was happy to find it on YouTube. Brian is the one who pointed it out to me years ago. He said, “You have to see this video. It’s so cute.” Turns out he thought it was cute that this little Asian gal had a crush on this white guy, ha ha! Hmmm. It’s called, Sway. What a lovely, clear voice she has. And I did end up buying her album, too, heheh.
Maybe some other time I’ll put up links to some of the male musicians I enjoy listening to.
