New Music

I have been finding some really cool and great new music these days!! Given that I walk so much every week, I need some new stuff to listen to from time to time, both to keep me from getting bored…and to keep me motivated!
I highly recommend you check out some of what has become my new favourite music!!
Daniel Kirkley is a singer I have been listening to {and have three or four songs already on my MP3 player} the past few weeks. Today, I downloaded a song of his that actually made me cry. It speaks of what I am struggling with right now, to some extent, and it is pretty much what my parents have been telling me for the past year…..set to music!! Its called “Lay It Down”. {Available on iTunes!!}
I’ve been looking till my eyes are tired of looking
Listening till my ears are numb from listening
Praying till my knees are sore
From kneeling on the bedroom floor
I know that you know that my heart is aching
I’m running out of tears and my will is breaking
I don’t think I can carry the burden
Of this anymore
‘Cause all of my hopes and my dreams and my best laid plans
Are slowly slipping through my folded hands
CHORUS
So I’m gonna lay it down
I’m gonna learn to trust you know
What else can I do
Everything I am depends on you
And if the sun don’t come back up
I know your love will be enough
So I’m gonna let it be
I’m gonna let it go
I’m gonna lay it down
I’ve been walking through this world like I’m barely living
Buried in the doubt of this hole I’ve been digging
But you’re pulling me out
And I’m finally breathing in the open air
This room may be dark but I’m finally seeing
There’s a new ray of hope and now I’m believing
That the past is past and the future’s beginning
To look brighter now
‘Cause all of my hopes and my dreams and my best laid plans
Are safe and secure when I place them in your hands
Another group is called Celtic Thunder. AMAZING voices, and a good selection of songs they have chosen to sing! This is most definitely a group I am going to be buying tracks from when I need new walking music!! {So far my player has “Steal Away” and “Heartland” in the new folder….and I only found out about them today! lol}
If you have a few bucks that you are willing to spend…..I really think you should go to iTunes or some such {legal} music download page and get songs from both of these artists!!
/me is listening to “Come To The Hills”
Love accents!! heh.
