Some good stuff here:
PFC 2: Songs Around The World [itunes / website ]
The Adjustment Bureau (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [itunes ]
This song came on the ol’ random play today…I’ve always liked the video.
Great video. I often wonder the same thing when I see people wearing headphones…
BTW, while not wearing headphones as I write this, the song currently playing on my Genius mix is Sirens [iTunes, thesixtyone], by The Autumn Film [website, Twitter]. check’em out
What song are you listening to as you read this?

A little rhapsody for a Saturday…
So last year, I wrote my first song. I totally forgot that I sent in a copyright registration for it (though i think technically you don’t really need to do that).
Anyway, my certificate came in the mail today!
The song was for our missions conference at church. I still have not recorded a good, clean version, but I uploaded a rough cut here a while back.

These lyrics just reverberated in my head today as I listened to them a number of times.
I read an article about McMillan this morning and two things hit home – one about his songwriting and the other about worship, but both dealing with being honest with God.
A few years ago, a friend introduced me to Lovelite, a group from Southern California whose purpose is to “inspire praise in the hearts of God’s people and desire in the hearts of the lost.” Their latest release, Nearness, is an album that is heavy rotation on the old iPhone lately.
