SOME SONGS FOR SATURDAY

Some of you may have noted that one of the hotlinks on the right side of this blog is to Globe Radio, which is WGCS, the Voice of Goshen College, and a number 1 ranked college station.  Their playlists are incredibly eclectic - some great, some good, some so-so, but guaranteed to bring you new tunes.  I heard this one recently, and since I am a fan of steel/slide guitar, I was taken in....it's Walking Over The Water by Mat Kearney, Mercyland:  Hymns for the Rest of Us.



 

The next one is from niece Anna Montgomery - After The Rain

What it was
A simple kind of ordinary dream
look arou  nd me now
Everything's changed somehow
As it does
Cause nothing is as perfect as it seems
So many with bad intent
Pray on the innocentIn darkness they inspire
Lies driven by desire to possess

At all cost
Before whatever hope I had is lost
For angel I must abide
Wherever those demons hide
I search for resolution
It's all that I could hope to gain
Must put the past behind me
Silently my last refrain
Like the eerie kind of quiet after the rain

Drum them out
The echoes in my head are filled with doubt
Are all of my feelings known
What the hell have I become
Still I try
But emptiness is all I ever find
With shadows I walk alone
The struggle is all I've known

I search for resolution
It's all I hope to gain
Must put the past behind me
So silently my last refrain
Like the eerie kind of quiet after the rain

Search for a remedy
And somewhere I can lay the blame
Can't walk from memories
So desperately I hide in vain
From this eerie kind of quiet after the rain

And lastly, Goshen by Beruit



You're on in five, it's time you rise or fail.
They've gone before, stood by your door all day.
For what it's worth, defend your kind from shame.
The lights are down, go on inside, they've paid.
You're the face in stone, through the land I own.
You never found it home.
You're not the girl I used to know.

What would you hide from such a glow
If I had only told you so?

You're on in five, it's time you rise or fail.
They've gone before, stood by your door all day.
But you never found it home.
A fair price I'd pay to be alone.

What would you hide from such a glow
If I had only told you so? ♥
