Time flies...

When you are busy...
Amazing, already more than a month into 2014 and it feels like I need a holiday... This song is pretty apt for how things have been the last few weeks. If this keeps up 2014 will pass in a twinkling of an eye...

"Time Flies"

I was born in '67
The year of Sgt. Pepper
And Are You Experienced?
Into a suburb of heaven
Yeah, it should've been forever
It all seems to make so much sense
But after a while
You realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies
She said luck is all you make it
You just reach out and take it
Now let's dance a while
She said nothing ever happens
If you don't make it happen
And if you can't laugh then smile
But after a while
You realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies
And laughing under summer showers
Is still the way I see you now
How does time break down
With no marker, things slow down.
A conference of the strange
And your family is deranged
I could tell you what I'm thinking
While we sit here drinking
But I'm not sure where to start
You see there's something wrong here
I'm sorry if I'm not clear,
Can you stop smoking your cigar?
But after a while
You realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies
And the coat your wore to Alton Towers
It's still the way I see you now

So remember... 
“Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.” Anthony G. Oettinger

Euphoria

Euphoria - Loreen (Eurovision 2012)

Why, why cant this moment last forevermore?
Tonight, tonight eternity's an open door
No, don't ever stop doing the things you do.
Dont go, in every breath I take I'm breathing you

Euphoria
Forever, till the end of time
From now on, only you and I
We're going up-up-up-up-up-up-up
Euphoria
An everlasting piece of art
A beating love within my heart
We're going up-up-up-up-up-up-up

We are here, were all alone in our own Universe,
We are free, where everything's allowed and love comes first,
Forever and ever together, we sail into infinity,
We're higher and higher and higher, we're reaching for divinity.

Euphoria
Forever, till the end of time
From now on, only you and I
We're going up-up-up-up-up-up-up
Euphoria
An everlasting piece of art
A beating love within my heart
We're going up-up-up-up-up-up-up

Forever we sail into infinity,
Were higher, were reaching for divinity

Euphoria, euphoria
We're going up-up-up-up-up-up-up
Euphoria.
An everlasting piece of art
A beating love within my heart
We're going up-up-up-up-up-up-up
Euphoria, euphoria
We're going up-up-up-up-up-up-up

I only found this epic singer's songs this weekend... I must get back to music more often.

"Sometimes, I wish you'd pay more attention to my favorite songs because the lyrics sing words I'm too scared to say" - Unknown 

May we pray this...

song every day.
 
If We've Ever Needed you - Casting Crowns:

Hear our cry, Lord we pray,
Our faces down, our hands are raised,
You called us out, we turned away, we've turned away.

With ship wrecked faith, idols rise,
We do what is right, in our own eyes,
Our children now, will pay the price,
We need Your light, Lord, shine Your light.

If we've ever needed You, Lord, it's now, Lord, it's now,
We are desperate for Your hand, we're reachin' out, we're reachin' out.

All our hearts, all our strength,
With all our minds, we're at Your fate,
May Your Kingdom come, in our hearts and lives,
Let Your Church arise, let Your Church arise!

If we've ever needed You, Lord, it's now, Lord, it's now,
We are desperate for Your hand, we're reachin' out, we're reachin' out, we're reachin' out

If we've ever needed You, Lord, it's now, Lord, it's now,
We're are desperate for Your hand, we're reachin' out, we're reachin' out,
If we've ever needed You, Lord, it's now, Lord, it's now,
We are desperate for Your hand, we're reachin' out, we're reachin' out

We need You now
Revive us now
We need You now

Trance for Christ

this is an awesome remix of Matthew Parkers great song "I am Yours"

Thank you DJ Jireh...for making Trance with the message of the Gospel. Heavenly Trance indeed!

Here, here I am
Take my hand and fill me with your spirit, Lord
I am yours
And I'll do what you command
Coz I am yours, I am yours
Here I am, Lord
I am yours

There's nothing that I'd rather do then follow you
You bought me with your blood and I belong to you
Here I am, all of me, I give myself completely, Lord
Take my hand, I want to be, wholly, wholly, wholly yours

Here, here I am
Take my hand and fill me with your spirit, Lord

Here, here I am
Take my hand and fill me with your spirit, Lord
I am yours
And I'll do what you command
Coz I am yours, I am yours
Here I am, Lord
I am yours

White Flag

 
"White Flag" Chris Tomlin, from the album Burning Lights

The battle rages on
As storm and tempest roar
We cannot win this fight
Inside our rebel hearts
We're laying down our weapons now

We raise our white flag
We surrender
All to You
All for You

We raise our white flag
The war is over
Love has come
Your love has won

Here on this Holy ground
You made a way for peace
Laying your body down
You took our rightful place
This freedom song is marching on

We raise our white flag
We surrender
All to You
All for You

We raise our white flag
The war is over
Love has come
Your love has won

Your love has won

We lift the cross
Lift it high lift it high [x8]

We raise our white flag
We surrender
All to You
All for You

We raise our white flag
The war is over
Love has come
Your love has won

We raise our white flag
We surrender
All to You
All for You

We raise our white flag
The war is over
Love has come
Your love has won

We lift the cross
Lift it high lift it high [x4] 
I love this song... It describes how we should surrender to God and lay everything at his feet.
"We raise our white flag, the war is over, Love has come, Your love has won!"

You will never again wake up With silence in your heart

"Silence In Your Heart"

You will never again wake up
With silence in your heart
You will never again wake up
With silence in your heart

You will never again wake up
With silence in your heart

You will never again wake up
With your whole world torn apart
And I will be your shelter and
These tears will be your last
You will never again wake up
With silence in your heart

And I will be your shelter and
These tears will be your last
You will never again wake up
With silence in your heart

You will never again wake up
With silence in your heart
You will never again wake up
With your whole world torn apart
And I will be your shelter and
These tears will be your last
You will never again wake up
With silence in your heart

Who will be your shelter? Who will mend your shattered world? Who will wipe away your tears?
For me the answer is plain to see... Jesus my Savoir! So my heart cannot stay silent anymore!
Amazing how the lyrics echo the word of God and the music itself has this amazing uplifting beat that makes one want to dance and shout out for joy!
Sing to the Lord with grateful praise; make music to our God on the harp. Psalm 147

Is the sun going to sleep?

The video:
  

• Composer: Tuomas Holopainen
• Lyrics by: Tuomas Holopainen

"Sleeping Sun"
The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
I wish for this night-time
to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say
I wish for this night-time...
I wish for this night-time...

The science:

The pictures show very few sunspots for what should be the most active part of the sunspot cycle, many scientists now believe that this is cooling our planet due to lower levels of radiaton from the sun.

We should not let politicians jump to conclusions...

"As a species, we human beings have become so blind with conceit and self-love that we genuinely believe that the fate of the planet is in our hands — when the reality is that everything, or almost everything, depends on the behavior and caprice of the gigantic thermonuclear fireball around which we revolve."  Boris Johnson

Thank you Jesus

 "And all these things have finally been complete"

Something diffrent from the norm...

Nice to see a cute video, shows that normality can still be entertaining. Imagination knows no bounds both in the story and the production.

Today's quote is just as inspiring, not only did God do that but he imagined a way out for us sinners, God in his infinite imagination and wisdom was able to give us redemption without it costing us anything but acceptance of his love. I cannot imagine a greater love than giving your Son on a tree as sacrifice for sin, even when we are not worthy of the sacrifice.

"Imagination is the voice of daring. If there is anything Godlike about God it is that. He dared to imagine everything." HENRY MILLER

That's not cricket David!

The kick...

 

and the apology laced with "but's"...  

The rules are simple in this case, shame on all the boo'ers as well. Displays of impatience and frustration like this have no place in sport of any kind. Bad sportsmanship should never be condoned at all. 

" If you win through bad sportsmanship, that's no real victory." Babe Didrikson

Awesome!

Just to show how awesome the universe is... a glimpse by photographer Daniel Lopez.  

Makes these words from the Bible ring very true. Psalm 147:4-5 says "He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them. Great is our Lord, and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite."

The power of words

Something to enjoy and think about...

Seriously cool yet hillariously brilliant!

The new music video from OK Go, made in partnership with Chevrolet. OK Go set up over 1000 instruments over two miles of desert outside Los Angeles. A Chevy Sonic was outfitted with retractable pneumatic arms designed to play the instruments, and the band recorded this version of Needing/Getting, singing as they played the instrument array with the car. The video took 4 months of preparation and 4 days of shooting and recording. There are no ringers or stand-ins; Damian took stunt driving lessons. Each piano had the lowest octaves tuned to the same note so that they'd play the right note no matter where they were struck. For more information and to download the studio version of the song for free, visit http://www.LetsDoThis.com/stunts and http://www.okgo.net. Many thanks to Chevy for believing in and supporting such an insane and ambitious project, and to Gretsch for providing the guitars and amps.

Snowing on the Sahara!

Algeria actually... the last recorded snow was in February 18, 1979 and that was the first time in Algeria's history!

 

Makes me doubt the warming alarmists, Europe and many other northern parts are experiencing record lows, again... Snow in Spain and Rome and now the Sahara! Makes one think... 

Enjoy the song. Angun-Snow on the Sahara  

Songwriters: BENZI, ERIC FERNAND/MATHESON, NIKKI 

Only tell me that you still want me here 

When you wander off out there 

To those hills of dust and hard winds that blow 

In that dry white ocean alone Lost out in the desert 

you are lost out in the desert 

But to stand with you in a ring of fire 

I'll forget the days gone by 

I'll protect your body and guard your soul 

From mirages in your sight Lost out in the desert 

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track 

I'll be the moon that shines on your path 

The sun may blind our eyes, I'll pray the skies above 

for snow to fall on the Sahara 

If that's the only place where you can leave your doubts 

I'll hold you up and be your way out

And if we burn away, 

I'll pray the skies above for snow to fall on the Sahara 

Just a wish and I will cover your shoulders 

With veils of silk and gold 

When the shadows come and darken your heart 

Leaving you with regrets so cold 

Lost out in the desert 

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track 

I'll be the moon that shines on your path 

The sun may blind our eyes, I'll pray the skies above 

for snow to fall on the Sahara 

 If that's the only place where you can leave your doubts 

I'll hold you up and be your way out 

And if we burn away, I'll pray the skies above 

for snow to fall on the Sahara 

"Each snowflake in an avalanche pleads not guilty." Stanislaw J. Lec (1909 - 1966)

When the world falls apart...

When the world falls apart,
I will hold you in my arms like a friend!
Great song with a lot of meaning, especially when we have a friend like Jesus! I know it is not a gospel song as such but when I heard it for the first time and then found the lyrics it was another of those songs with hidden meaning. Thank you Jeffrey Sutorius, aka Dash Berlinfor making great Dance music that still has meaning.


When the world falls apart,
I will hold you in my arms like a friend!

When the worlds unkind,
I will make you smile,
I will stay right by your side until the end!

Through the dark of night,
When no hopes in sight
When the walls start closing in,
I'll be your friend!

When the world falls apart,
If you should ever feel so broken that you can't go on,
When your world falls apart,
I will hold you in my arms like a friend.

Until the end...


When the world falls apart,
If you should ever feel so broken that you can't go on,
When your world falls apart,
I will hold you in my arms like a friend.

Till the end x 4

When the world makes you cry,
I will make you smile,
I will stay right by your side until the end!


Through the dark of night,
When no hopes inside
When the walls start closing in,
I'll be your friend!


If the world falls apart,
I will hold you in my arms like a friend!

Till the end...x 2

Awesome...

flying Jetman!

Yves Rossy has achieved his dream of human powered flight and this was one of his best ones.

He has done pioneering work and the technology he applies is just mind boggling, from cutting edge composites for the wing to ultra lightweight turbine engines for thrust and the control systems. Truly a modern marvel of technology and mind.

Once again proving that nothing is impossible once you set your mind to the task. Although one wold think he has nerves of steel this is what he said the day before when he called off the flight...

"I have a knot in my body, sorry for that. I’m human."

Telling it as it is

Tell Him was a hit in 1962 by the The Exciters that I can recall as a youngster... today I found it on YouTube again... Here it is! Of course the words can be swapped... as in my case... ;-) MD!

I know somethin' about love

You've gotta want it bad

If that guy's got into your blood

Go out and get him

If you want him to be the very part of you

That makes you want to breathe

Here's the thing you do

Tell him that you're never gonna leave him

Tell him that you're always gonna love him

Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now

I know somethin' about love

You gotta take it and

Show him what the worlds made of

One Kiss will prove it

If you want him to be

Always by your side

If you want him to

Only think of you

Tell him that you're never gonna leave him

Tell him that you're always gonna love him

Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now

Ever since the world began it's been that way

For man and woman were created

To make love their destiny

Then why should true love be so complicated? Oh

I know something about love

You gotta take it and

Show him what the world is made of

One kiss will prove it

If you want him to be

Always by your side

Take his hand tonight

Swallow your foolish pride and

Tell him that you're never gonna leave him

Tell him that you're always gonna love him

Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now

Tell him that you're never gonna leave him

Tell him that you're always gonna love him

Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now

Some other covers were by Laura Brannigan on a demo cut, check it out on YouTube and Vonda Shepard's version for the Ally McBeal soundtrack.

This also brings me to Dad's birthday... he is going in for tests today too... not the way one wishes to spend a birthday at all! Hope it goes well at the hospital today and we all wish you well and we love you Dad! 

Remember to tell those people you love that you love them... Often!

Waiting...

Angelic Voice par excellence... this song blows my socks off!


Fading of the day
as night takes over
and I can almost feel
you here

Your memory remains
I breath it closer
I swear that I still feel you near

The cool wind is taking over
it’s taking over

So far away
you’re gone so long
ohh and I’m waiting

Till that day
I take you home
know that I’m waiting
know that I’m waiting
know that I’m waiting

Haunted by your grace
you know I’m falling
so cool without you
always in my mind
I hear you calling

Haunted by your grace
you know I’m falling
so cool without you
always in my mind
I hear you calling

So far away
you’re gone so long
ohh and I’m waiting

So far away
you’re gone so long
ohh and I’m waiting

Till that day
I take you home
know that I’m waiting
know that I’m waiting

Haunted by your grace
the beauty of falling (falling)
it echoes through my days
I still hear you calling
you calling me

The cool wind is taking over
it’s taking over
still your
so far away
you’re gone so long
ohh and I’m waiting

Till that day
I take you home
know that I’m waiting

So far away
you’re gone so long
ohh and I’m waiting

Till that day
I take you home
know that I’m waiting

The music on this track is just amazing but to put it in proper perspective here is the acoustic version, Emma's voice still remains angelic.


Emma has one of the most amazing voices on the Dance/Trance scene, I bet she would be able to make it in any genre as well. In the meantime I will continue to listen to this music as well as most other genres. I love music!
“Since the early days of humankind, dancing was always an expression of feeling good, and making someone feel good is the main intention of DJ’ing. I don’t see the point of playing a record that makes people stand there, look at you and say “Umm, very interesting” – Paul van Dyk
