I’ve been dreaming of a guitar

   Posted by: WhiRL   in Music

It may surprise many of you to know this fact, but I have never had my own guitar all my life. This is honestly one of my greatest desires. I have been having the urge to hold a guitar for the past week. It is killing me not to be able to hear the sound of the strings. I have always just picked up the church one to just let it out. But today I needed to post about this because I honestly am so sad that I cannot play one now. Never before have I had such a craving.

The huge issue is, I never got a guitar because I cannot stand cheap one for their sound and also their touch. The one I really want will be impossible to own. Realistically there are some that are within reach in the next 2 years but I can’t wait that long!! I have waited all my life!

What to do oh what to do. I want to hear the sweet melodies. I want to smell the wood. Ah. Oh God please somehow grant my hearts desire. I know You have blessed me so much but I just want to worship You with a guitar each day. Please oh Please.

Album of the week - Shades of Grace

   Posted by: WhiRL   in Music

I was unable to procure a new album here in Singapore when I wrote this. So at the moment, maybe a little retro-album ok?

I wanted to introduce to you all one of the most lyrically meaningful album I have come across. Butterfly Kisses (Shades of Grace) - Bob Carlisle. His life testimony and how God has led him is pretty spectacular. He formally was from the band ‘Allies’ that was typically not where you would think a singer like him came from. It was heavy rock during the era.

God had led him to the point where he wrote this song ‘Butterfly Kisses’ which was inspired by his daughter Brooke. This album is now 14-15 years old and I still hear it many times. Someone believed in him and produced his album, not knowing that it would lead to him having won a Grammy Award in 1997 for the Best Country Song and a Dove Award. Since then he has been nominated for 8 Dove awards and has sold more than 3 million albums! Read the rest of this entry ยป
