Music, songs and some favorites

March 3rd, 2010 | filed under: Personal | tags: , |

I’ve been scavenging for songs to download, and then got sidetracked all over the place–

Before I get into that, here is a quote that I found / like, that happens to do with nothing else in this post.

Edit: Once upon a time (yesterday), there was this deal where you could get 60 free songs from napster.  This deal became known to the likes of slickdeals.net (a deal site), and the hoards and masses began to sign up and download like crazy.  The napster staff soon caught on and ended the deal.  Sadly I didn’t move very fast, and only got 3 songs.  Oh well.

Here are some of my favorite bands / current favorite songs: (click to listen)

  • Flame (christian rap)  -  See More Him.  I also made a picture centered around this song about two years ago here.  I forgot that I had this blog for almost two years…hmm.
  • Lecrae (christian rap–has been pretty influential to me, this song especially)  – Praying for You.  This song is super powerful.
  • Fernando Ortega (christian adult contemporary)  -  Give Me Jesus.  There are many other great songs that he does, but I like this one especially.
  • Sufjan Stevens (adult contemporary) has a sad song that I like  -  Sister -  also Chicago is a classic, along with Lord God Bird (mentions Arkansas…whee) and Concerning the UFO Landing… (which I know I’ve probably listened to like 50 times in a row before, still like it too).

Those are the songs that are on the top of my head now.  I listen to a lot of music, and some of my other favorites are Tree 63, Leeland, Seven Places, LaRue, Glassbyrd, Switchfoot, Chris Rice, Chris Tomlin, Copeland, Owl City, Jars of Clay, Justin Unger(!), Newsboys, dc Talk, Nickel Creek, oh and Christian Yoder ;), all in no particular order, plus many many others.

These are some of my favorites, what are some of yours?
