Thursday Tunes

I know it has been quite a while since I shared music with you. I kept listening to this playlist for a while but it didn't feel ready and I wasn't sure if I should even share it but here it is. The playlist is called "Home". I wanted to create a playlist which gathers some of the themes I love about home like love, forgiveness, the sharing of food, the deconstructing and just being yourself, the letting go, the running towards home, the heart of it all, where we come from and family. It is the kind of playlist which you can put on when you have guest or listen to it the moment you come home or when you're homesick.
As always you can listen right here or listen and follow over on spotify.

A few weeks ago I promised you a playlist for all your kitchen adventures and today I am finally able to share it with you. I tried to put together a good mix of fun, romance, vintage and pop music for you to dance and cook and clean and have fun in the kitchen. The playlist is kitchen approved by me. I listen to it all the time.
Listen and follow it here or directly on spotify and have fun.

PS: Come back next week for my Christmas Soundtrack Edition.

A few years ago I started organizing my music into seasons and started with Fall because it came really easy to me to capture the mood and atmosphere of the season in music. And although this year saying goodbye to Summer is a little harder than usual Fall is here and I think I'm falling in love with it all over again. The clouds and the golden light, the way the trees turn into color, the burning of candles and the smell of warm plum crisp and hot tea. I put together a Soundtrack that is truly a Soundrack to accompany you on a walk through the forest or snuggled up on your sofa. It can also serve as background music for your next dinner gathering with friends. It has some soft piano pop, some funky tunes, some mellow Indie and some folk.
Listen and follow here or directly on spotify and create your own memories with it.

Lately spotify has been suggesting quite a lot of duets to me, I am starting to wonder if it is a sign... so I have decided to dedicate this week to some beautiful duets. Some I have just recently discovered and some are all time favorites. Some are fun and some are really romantic although we can probably guess what side we're leaning on here.
Anyways, if you're not yet following The Soundtrack of my Life on spotify I suggest you hop over there, subscribe and get new music regularly.
Have fun this week.

Well hello there and welcome to another Thursday with awesome music and the end of the week approaching. I have decided to make the Thursday Tunes even easier for you and created a "The Soundtrack of my Life" playlist on spotify for you to follow. I will update it as regularly as possible and will share it here too. This week we're calling it "Summer Rock 'n Roll" because this music got me dancing all week while I was preparing dinner and enjoying what is left of Summer.

It has been a great summer and funny enough I have been listening to a lot of country granted though I was BBQing a lot and what suits it better than country right? Right.

The band in the playlist is called Vintage Trouble and they are pure soulish Rock 'n Roll and Blues and they have been on repeat for days!
So whatever you're doing right now, cooking, cleaning, working out, working... push play and get in a good mood!

This album cover is currently going around the world as it should be because this album by Hillsong United is lifting up the name of Jesus and pointing people to His saving grace. If you haven't listened to it yet I strongly urge you to buy the album or give it to a friend.

Last week on Thursday a friend texted me asking for some Thursday Tunes recommendations and I texted her a few ideas. But I didn't tell her about James Bay. I discovered his music about two years ago on Noisetrade and have loved his EPs ever since. Well, now he produced a whole album for all of us to enjoy. It has some of his older songs on there as well as a few new ones and I think you should have a listen to it. Also if you're a hopeless romantic like me this album is definitely going to feed you well.

For the last two weeks I tried to write here about "Home", about the notion of it, about how it is a sacred place, a place of being and refreshment. I wanted to write about how living in an in between space feels like and how you grow and learn from it but the words just wouldn't flow and then Josh Garrels published a new album called "Home" and it seemed like all my words all my feelings were just put into one album of music. And again it was perfect timing.
So I guess all I need to do is share the album with you. I urge you to listen to it, buy it, dive into it. It is truly an amazing piece of art.
So today I am sharing one song in particular although I had a really hard time deciding which one to share because they are all amazing, but this one is called Home at last. I cannot wait fo that day when we'll be with our Father in heaven and truly be home at last. But for now let's make the most of what we have been given and multiply.

It is about time I post another song by Sleeping at last because his song writing is one of the best I have ever seen. It is beautiful poetry put into songs which take you to other places and the song I am sharing with you today is not different.
The other day I was biking home from work and this song came up and somehow I had not fully taken in this song before but there it was and we all know I am a hopeless romantic and so my bike ride became somewhat of a movie scene and I was imagining all kinds of romance.
The song is called We're still here and I think you should put it on, listen, sway to it and get carried away with it.
And if you do not know Sleeping at last yet it is about time you check them out. That is an order... because I think you would love them.

I told my flatmate yesterday that whenever Gavin de Graw is singing it is like I travel to another world which I know are pretty big words and I am quite sure it is due to the fact that he sang the theme song for Tristan & Isole and that movie just is a world of its one.
I have also said before that his first album Chariots is my number one go to album.

All this to say NEEDTOBREATHE another one of my favorite bands has Gavin de Graw featured on their song Brother and can I just say that the joining of so many beautiful voices can only result in a great song. So I think you should take a couple of minutes of your Thursday and listen to this song because it definitely is no waste of time.

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.

We all know how much I love The Lone Bellow. They just released a new song and I cannot wait for their next album to come out.
The new song is phenomenal as expected and they teamed up with SerialBox for a live session. So I am posting the video here for you all to see and listen that you may also fall in love with them!

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.

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.
