"heartstrings" stephen fryrear

does steve moakler have a long lost brother?

"lucky ones" - brendan james

saw him open for Parachute a month ago and enjoyed his down-to-earth personality. the beat and lyrics on this track are so uplifting!

i haven't forgotten him

"i didn't know" - the Alex Lambert; still a cutie.

for you Jamie

Merry Christmas - bring it on.

Hands

just saw this on a blog and thought it was really cool!

"same changes" - the weepies

"Well I ask, does anything ever stay the same. No, no, no - just same changes."

Windows Are Rolled Down - Amos Lee

old school whitney - does it really get any better?

happy homecoming vandy & miss. state!

I could totally have a crush on NEYO

Neyo - One in A Million

heard this song at the State Game...over and over again!

ALL I DO IS WIN - DJ Khaled

can't shake lyle lovett.

so, since last wednesday i've had a hard time shaking lyle lovett.

his ryman show is the newest addition to my top 5 live shows (in company with the likes of celine dion and joshua radin). lyle's show was an incredible blend: gospel, bluegrass, country, folk, rock, symphony. on top of that, it was chalked full of talented musicians (cello, fiddle, standing bass, bongo drums, barbershop quartet). this moving song gave me the chills 3 times over.

hello my testament song: Addison Road - Change in the Making

Balmorhea - Lament

"parachute" ingrid micahelson

newest single. so catchy...

music?

Michael Grimm - America's Got Talent 2010 Winner

just found out about this guy. He won America's Got Talent, and rightfully so. i love that he's from Mississippi too. sweet story about his grandparents too. love a good story like this.

"you will find me" - andrew ripp

this combining of 3 favorite artists has got me thinking: what other artists would be great together? for the moment, i'm thinking a mumford & sons + needtobreathe. or ben lee + jason mraz. or david gray + joshua radin. or ingrid michaelson + frou frou...

"her" - steve moakler

Change is Gonna Come - James Morrison & Herbie Hancock

"the garden" - needtobreathe

reminded tonight how beautiful and moving this song is. thanks linds :)

"we shall rise" - finding favour

new clients and hopefully new friends. love the reminder to encourage one another at the end. happy friday!

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals - Apologies (live)

"uncharted" - sara bareilles

great when you have no idea what you're doing in life...which is a lot of days, i think. :)

the NEW Buble single Hollywood

brooke fraser

this artist is a gem, and she reminds me of another gem: anna molteni. missing her a lot today.

"i won't find what i am looking for if i only see by keeping score. cause i know now You're so much more than arithmetic. cause if i add, if i subtract, if i give it all, try to take some back - i've forgotten the freedom that comes from the fact that You are the sum. so You are the one i want."



also, a new song from her album, Flag, that will be out Oct 12th:

More Boys! MONSTERS OF FOLK

For Jamie :) -- song by Rosie and Me

"september [i'm falling for you]" - kalai

fall is coming!

Ben Rector - Loving You is Easy

this is just a lighthearted sweet song for a lighthearted sweet tuesday.

"the ladder" - andrew belle

new to nashville, andrew belle is a more recent addition to ten out of tenn. this song has been an instant favorite for me this summer - his unique vocals and mix of strings, bells and keys make for a magical sounding song.

"good life" - one republic

the past 3 songs that i've thought "wow, i like this!" have been onerepublic.

their unique interpretation of genre: "We're no respecter of genre. If its a good song or a good artist whether rock, pop, indie or hip hop, they've probably influenced us on some level...nothing's new under the sun, we're a sum of a bunch of parts."

here's one lauren and i have been starting our days with:

"oh heavenly day" - brandon heath

try to disregard the cheesy beach video.

the truth is, a lot of our friends LOVE music. and fortunately for us, we live in a city devoted to it.

so here's a blog to note: upcoming shows, concert experiences, new "great finds," moving lyrics, musical epiphanies, music videos, etc.

you get the gist - an outlet to share all things music. here's to many musical memories with people we love!
