Some more Music Thoughts…

I just read a great article by Paul Baloche, called “Worship in Times of Sorrow.” Really insightful.

BTW, Paul has made great “worship workshop” videos for worship teams that I personally have found very helpful. I am a rhythm guitarist on my church’s worship team, so his lessons on making music in a group setting, especially a worship music setting, have been very helpful! Like I can listen to what the other musicians are doing and depending on where they are on the music scale, I can tell I should play something higher or lower, etc. So if you want to learn more about playing music in a group setting, visit HigherPraiseTube.com (linked on my sidebar) and search “Paul Baloche.” Hillsong guitar workshop is also EXCELLENT!

Oh, and I know this is TOTALLY unrelated, but… my bro and I tried to make a purple cake today. It turned out gray, kinda like the day. Oh well. The frosting successfully turned out green, though! Has anybody successfully made an odd-colored cake before? Not red or green or blue, but purple or orange or… black?

And back to the subject I opened with, I have been working on making a playlist of “Heaven Songs.” I LOVE heaven songs, but unfortunately I don’t own a whole lot. So far I have Hillsong Live’s “Home,” MercyMe’s “I Can Only Imagine,” Hillsong United’s “Soon,” and Phillips, Craig and Dean’s “Revelation Song.” And that’s it. I know MercyMe makes incredible heaven songs. Someday if we can find time and a good deal, I think I’ll pick some up. :D Anybody have any suggestions on good heaven songs?

    Hi Alice! Sorry this is a little late… I ransaked my mp3 player to find heaven songs for ya! :) Here’s a list of the worship heaven songs:

    Hillsong and Third Day both have beautiful songs called “All the Heavens,” although they are both two different songs.

    Sandi Patti and Wayne Watson’s song “Another Time, Another Place” is a great one, although I prefer Avalon’s rendition. :D

    Matt Redman’s “Better is One Day” is great, and Rebecca St. James and Kutless both have wonderful renditions as well.

    Chris Tomlin’s “I Will Rise” is perfect! (All I can say ;) )

    Stellar Kart has a song called “Angels in Chorus,” which is not quite about heaven, but it is a beautiful song about… well, angels in our choruses. :)

    Here a few more contemporary/pop songs that you might like:

    Heaven by Paul Wright
    Far Away From Here, and Fly Away by Avalon
    Heaven by Jars of Clay

    Hope you like these, especially because I went through all 1,000 songs on my mp3 player to find them for you. :) If I can think of more later, I will add them here. Oh, and by the way, Hillsong United’s “Home” is awesome! :)
