Thursday Tunes

I love gathering for praise and worship. I love gathering in a large place with thousands of people or in church or at a conference. It has been those place where God spoke some amazing things in my life or healed things which needed healing.
And at the same time I love gathering in a smaller setting, best friends, a guitar, worship. Those are some of the most anointed worship gatherings because of their intimacy. A couple of weeks ago I had shared music from The United Pursuit and I love how you can tune in to their living room gatherings and be part of it. Their music has influenced me a lot and I have had some pretty awesome worship moments in my car with their music.
Today I am sharing music by Elevation Church which in all truth I only started listening to a week or so ago, but my flatmate sent me this link and something inside of me clicked. I love the music in their big gatherings but I also love this intimate setting.
The following song is from their newest album and it has been on repeat this whole week. I have no words for how it is a blessing but if you've ever experienced something just being right in your spirit, then you know what I'm talking about.
So how could I not share?

Hello Friends, I am back with yet another Thursday Tunes music sharing afternoon.
When it comes to buying music I really don't often buy mainstream or what's on the radio or popular right now. But Sam Smith's album In the lonely hour was a total exception. I bought his album a few months ago and I still love love love it. It is beautiful, romantic, sad and can we just talk about his voice for a second. The versatility of his voice is beyond beautiful.
So today I am going to share my current favorite song of the album. It is called Make it to me. May it make your day more romantic. If you're married, go do something nice for your spouse and if you're single like me, don't lose hope. Keep your head up!

I don't think I ever wrote about johnnyswim before but their music is amazing. The couple is not only the sweetest but they are so talented and beautiful in their music writing and performing. So as last week I am sharing a SerialBox Session with you but it is a 30 minute session for your 30 minute musical break which I think you should totally take to soak up some beautiful tunes.
Here's the video for your enjoyment.

I know I know it has been forever since I shared music with you. Not I don't have anything to share it just kind of didn't happen.
I have said it so many times but I really think that music sometimes comes to us as we need it. So it was with the Endless Years album by Will Reagan and the United Pursuit. I have their Live at the Banks House album and love it.
So during our prayer and fasting time at my church this August I started listening to it and it has been on repeat on my runs, in the car, during my quiet time with God.
It is a beautiful, Spirit filled album that really gets you to worship. There is one song called Endless Years and it is one of those songs that not only enters your ears but your soul and your heart and your spirit. The words are beautiful and actually quite simple but they take you on a journey.
So here's the song... enjoy it.

Thursday Tunes: The romantic edition

Well, by now most of you might have realized that my musical taste has a very wide span. But the common denominator (yes I am indeed using a mathematical word - too much White Collar - guilty pleasure - watching these days) is real instruments, real voices, real lyrics. You will not find much popular pop songs, electro, house or any kind of hip hop on my itunes.
But anyways, sometimes I get hit by a wave of total romance, total pop songs. I blame it on the rainy weather these days and then there is no stopping in my indulgences when it comes to overly romantic, let's play them at a wedding songs.
So I have decided to put a little what I called Hopeless Romantic playlist together for your enjoyment. Turn it on and turn it up and on repeat.

As I told you in my post about Italy I had put together a playlist for our road trip there and why not share it with you so you can either listen to it on your next roadtrip or just turn up the volume and enjoy a summer breeze.
Here it is. The Italy Roadmix:

I love this weather right now and the coming of summer and all it holds. To me whenever summer is around everything kind of becomes quiet. I love summernights and sitting outside listening to the crickets and watching the stars rise.
Today I want to share a song with you which embodies all of this for me. The video is a bit on the cheesy side, but the song is amazing plus you get the lyrics with it.

Well hello there! Today's Tunes are going to be a tad different and we are going to travel in time a little. Very often the music I share here is rather deep, emotional, poetic or just different but today we're going on a whole different level.
This is due to the fact that I had my very own little dance party (by myself!) yesterday night while doing the dishes after discovering an awesome playlist on spotify.
So I thought, hey why not share some of my favorites with you so you too can turn up the volume and bust a move in your living room, kitchen or wherever you fancy.
So here you go. They're all rather old songs, but so classic!


Dance on and xoxo

You may or may not know this about me, but I love classical music. I grew up with it, played it on the piano myself. Whenever I listen to classical music it is as if my heart opens up and it touches me in ways other music cannot.
I also am a big lover for the New Years concert which is broadcast every year on January 1 live from Vienna. Watching this concert was a tradition in my grandmother's house and a tradition in my parents' house and so I continued it and watch it every single year. Of course they play all the traditional songs by Strauss and it's the perfect way to start a new year.
Anyways all this to say I have been listening to the Kaiserwalzer on repeat for a week now. Everytime I get into my car it's playing. I don't know why, but I just love it so I thought you should share in the beauty of this piece.
I am pretty sure most of you will now the main melody of the piece but there is some parts in it which are slow and steady and make you dream of a beautiful dance and realization of love and what not. So here it comes, 8:34 minutes of pure greatness.

If you read my Monday blog you know that The New World is one of my favorite movies. But let me add to that the music of the movie is incredible. What is so amazing about it is the fact that the movie was cut around a finished score and not the other way around which goes to show the importance of the music in this movie.
It is like an awakening of some sort and calming too.
I created a spotify playlist so you can listen to the whole of it.

The past two weeks I have been listening to Sleeping at last a lot - ok when don't I listen to them a lot? But really I purchased the new EP and it was on repeat.
Anyways today I want to share a song which seems to get me every time and it is called "You are enough". The lyrics are beautiful and express something very important that you are in fact enough. I know I am sometimes struggling with this question of am I enough or rather am I too much but God says we are enough and we are loved so let us not believe the shadows but know in the depth of our hearts that we are enough.

when we woke up
the world was figured out
beyond the beauty we’ve dreamt about.
this brilliant light is brighter than we’ve known,
without our darkness to prove it so.
still, we can’t help but to examine it,
to add our question marks to periods.
at the foot of our bed, we found an envelope…

“you are enough.”
these little words, somehow they’re changing us.
“you are enough.”
so we let our shadows fall away like dust.

when we grew up,
our shadows grew up too.
but they’re just old ghosts
that we grow attached to.
the tragic flaw is that they hide the truth

that you’re enough.
i promise you’re enough.
i promise you’re enough, i promise you.

“you are enough.”
these little words, somehow they’re changing us.
“you are enough,”
so we let our shadows fall away like dust.
“you are enough.”
these little words, somehow they’re changing us.
let it go, let it go, “you are enough.”
so we let our shadows fall away like dust.

Oh acoutic music, guitars, beautiful voices - all the things which make my heart melt. Combine that with a cause for changing the world and you definitely have me hooked.
I have posted The Lone Bellow's music here more than once and today I am sharing a cover of the song "For what it's worth" which they did for the ONE Organization.
Awesome music, awesome video. Can somebody please take me on a mountain and play the guitar and sing for me?

I have been listening to John Marc McMillan a lot lately because I found this video and awesome song. So I thought I'd share it with you for 2 reason: 1. The song is amazing with such a great message and 2. the video is awesome and creative and I loved watching it over and over again.

So. enjoy it.

Well, hello there everybody. I am sorry this blog stayed rather quiet over the past 3 weeks. We had our 21 days of prayer and fasting and somehow it turned into a blogging fast as well - unwillingly but it was good. There are many things I have been thinking and praying about and so many decisions I have made.
I tried to be really meaningful with what music I listen to during this time and one album which really stayed with me throughout this whole time is by Gungor and is called "A Creation Liturgy". It's a live album and I think you'll all love it.

I have some more posts coming up soon on some personal things.

xoxo
