And I have always felt like I was “in the know” on the new, cutting-edge bands. Until recently. Twice in the last two weeks friends have mentioned popular bands that I had never even heard of.

So I have come to realize, I am in serious need of some new music in my i tunes library.

What songs/artists are you listening to right now that I need to go check-out? (Oh, and please tell us all a little bit about song/artist so we can see if they peak our interest.)

So you can see how random my musical preferences are, here are two playlists I made over the holidays. Maybe (I doubt it) you’ll discover something new?

“Completely Random Mix“

I and Love and You – The Avett Brothers

(I listen to this one about 10 times before I move on to the rest of the mix. This song is ridiculously beautiful.)

Don’t Wanna Cry – Pete Yorn

You Really Got a Hold on Me – She and Him

When I Dream of Michaelangelo – Counting Crows

Landed – Ben Folds

Brooklyn – Wakey! Wakey!

Gotta Have You – The Weepies

Lost? – Coldplay

Blessed – Brett Dennen

Wagon Wheel – Old Crow Medicine Show

City of Black and White – Mat Kearney

“The Christian Mix”

There Will Be a Light – Ben Harper and the Blind Boys of Alabama

Whenever God Shines His Light – Van Morrison

It is Well – Todd Fields

Hold My Heart – Tenth Avenue North

Reign in Us – Starfield

The Revelation Song – Kari Jobe

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing – Chris Rice

Arms Open Wide – Hillsong

Kingdom Coming – Shaun Groves

How Great is Our God – Chris Tomlin

So come on…help a girl out. SAVE ME from becoming one of those un-hip folks who has no idea who what new music is out there.

(I have been a fan for several years, but recently took a break because I went through a period I where was listening excessively, and I do mean excessively.) He is so talented. This song is so beautiful. And the lyrics are POWERFUL.

Here are the lyrics (so you don’t have to listen four times like I did to catch all the goodness):

some are reachin’ few are there want to reign from a hero’s chair

some are scared to fly so high well this is how we have to try

have no envy and no fear have no envy and no fear

brother brother we all see your hiding out so painfully see yourself come out to play a lover’s rain will wash away your envy and your fear

so have no envy and no fear

when your sister turns to leave only when she’s most in need take away the cause of pain by showing her we’re all the same

have no envy and no fear have no envy and no fear

every day we try to find search our hearts and in our minds the place we used to call our home can’t be found when we’re alone

so have no envy and no fear have no envy and no fear

So, that’s my challenge today..trying to live without envy and fear. You in?

Also, be sure to buy Joshua Radin’s Simple Times. You will be glad you did!

But what I was really (poorly) trying to say is that, there are times when I get random and uncontrollable urges to belt out a song’s lyrics. The urge builds until I sing a line or two (who am I kidding, a chorus or two) which causes those around me to wince at the sound of my not-so-angelic voice.

I enjoy a wide range of musical genres — folk, country, rock, r&b, and alternative — mostly because I pay more attention to the lyrics than the melody. To me a well-crafted song tells a story, takes me on an adventure, reminds me of days past, or emits raw emotion.

Here is a list of few songs I love:

Drive-In Movies and Dashboard Lights by Nanci Griffith

Landed by Ben Folds

Star Mile by Joshua Radin (and really EVERYTHING else he sings, too)

After All by Dar Williams

Rosemary by Lenny Kravitz

Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie

Whenever God Shines His Light by Van Morrison

This week in Nashville, there is a festival celebrating the art of song-writing, Tin Pan South. I am hoping to get out an enjoy a few shows, you should too!

What do you like most about music? What song(s) do like you love because of the lyrics?
