What's your Music Inspiration today?

kellya01 · February 2011

Hey ladies!

If you read one of my posts just recently about how God is real in my life, you know that music is a very real way that I can see God. So... what musical inspirations do you have to share? Anything that has caught your 'ear' lately that inspired you, or is a song that carries you through the day?

I'm most recently inspired by "Amazing Grace / My Chains Are Gone" by Chris Tomlin.

I think this might be my first post on this board but I LOVE music and recently attended the Rock and Worship Roadshow (AMAZING!! Mercy Me, Jars of Clay, and Matt Maher (my favourite) among others). I hadnt listend to the new Mercy Me stuff so hearing their songs and then of course buying the cd a lot of their songs are sticking with me right now.

first is beautiful http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C2o0jHNRuU
and then all of creation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkdniYsUrM8

sooo good!!!!

I have also been enjoying singing "Our God" by Chris Tomlin and singing loudly to it! (I actually work out to that cd!)

This is from Francesca Battistelli's new album, coming out March 1st. This one has been on the radio for a few weeks...and I may or may not have been dancing around the classroom while the kids (and my cooperating teacher) were at lunch.

And also, a new single from Matt Maher...although I think the album came out a while ago, judging by the date of the videos on YouTube.

Christ is Risen is AMAZING! When I got the CD last year and listened to it I fell in love with that song! I work for a Catholic Church so I talked to the Music Minister at our Life Teen Mass (a youth Mass for those who aren`t familar) and told him he HAD to play it on Easter Sunday - he had the same thought!! It is great!

emily - i LOVE Francesca Battistelli!!!!

GJones27 · February 2011

Honestly, today I'm listening to GLEE music from this week (their rendition of Ke$ha Tik Tok is amazing!) But a few weeks ago, I was really into this hymn. It's an ancient Georgian (yes, Georgian as in the country, not Gregorian) chant. I think Georgian music is the best kept secret from Western musicians. Their music is ancient, as Georgia was one of the earliest Christian nations (2nd, I believe). Here's the link:

Both of those are on my "Favorites" playlist...but Lead Me is one of top 5 from the last year. I absolutely LOVED it when it would come on when FI and I would be in the car together and he would sing it. Makes me melt.

Edited for redundancy. I need sleep.

AshNoel8 · February 2011

echo- Mercy Me is my fave! FI and I went to their concert in the fall and it was amazing! I can't wait until they come back here again!

So my inspiration is, of course, Mercy Me... anything by them, but let's go with two oldies today- first, for fun- So Long Self:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpyKXcMYMS8

and, one of my faves- Here With Me:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74CNUExD4I8

Also, not Mercy Me related, BUT... I have been loving this song lately- Sing by Josh Wilson:

kellya01 · February 2011

Wow, some great songs!!!! Thanks for posting! I'll have music for my planning period tomorrow, woot woot!

Okay and on Glee... I'm IN LOVE with "Don't Stop Believin" I'm pretty much obsessed with their version of it. Among other things. Oh, and thank you Glee, and American Idol, because this music teacher appreciates that students are signing up for music classes again, even if their motives aren't pure... haha!

mrandmrsbrist · February 2011

I love Addison Road. Not really any specific song, but just them in general. "What Do I Know of Holy" was my heart's cry for a few months on end. Every time I heard it I was brought to my knees.

"What Love Really Means" by JJ Heller makes me sad and then happy every single time I hear it.

As far as worship goes I love "Our God" and "I Will Follow" by Chris Tomlin. And then "How He Loves" by David Crowder Band has a special place in my heart.

I'm going to stop now...lol.

amongthelilies25 · February 2011

oh!!! i love music!!!

My church just came out with a new worship CD that is really fantastic! (:

ITs called 'Be Lifted High' by Bethel Church. you can youtube it too. (:

my favorite is: Deep Cries Out (:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQwkEvevXgA

check it out! (:

fpaemp2011 · February 2011

ahhh...Monica!! I have y'alls version of "Here is Love!!!!!" LOVE it! Our Campus Praise Band started playing it last semester, and yours was the only good one I could find on iTunes.

Also, our Campus Praise Band has two live albums on iTunes, featuring 6 originals between the two.

Uncover: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/uncover/id273687257
One: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/one/id350218078

"Uncover" was recorded during a special praise & worship service in May 2007, and we knew they were recording the album.

"One" is a compliation of Campus Church worship sessions from Spring & Fall 2009. "At the Cross" is from the Easter Communion Service. It's incredible. We had no idea they were recording during that time for the album.

amongthelilies25 · February 2011

hahaha! really?!?!?!?! emily, that is sooo awesome!!!

yup, that is my church and my worship leaders! (:

i LOVE their worship! i am soo blessed to have them.

amongthelilies25 · February 2011

This is at our Ministry School.

I wish our college chapel band had stuff online that I could share with you guys. That was my favorite. They were amazing (I'm sure they still are, I just don't hear them anymore). I have a CD around here somewhere, I think it's still packed from the move, that is my favorite worship cd that they recorded my freshman year of college.

jkh1182 · February 2011

At the foot of the cross by Kathryn Scott has been the song that I've been listening to a lot lately.

BrideToBeBecauseHeLovesMe · February 2011

I LOVE Josh Turner's "Me and God" and "Long Black Train." I live for country music and his voice makes me melt!!

Me and God - Linky

Long Black Train - Linky
