Everyday Encounter...

I took the kids to see Sing 2 at the cinema and was reminded that Scarlett Johansson doesn’t just kick ass but also has a fine set of lungs on her… Trading her Black Widow leather cat suit for a porcupine-tailored rocker’s leather jacket, for me she steals the show!
As a result I jumped on Spotify and looked up what she’s done outside of films, and I stumbled across “Iguana Bird.” Further Google rabbit-hole wanderings confirmed magnificent creature pictured above doesn’t actually exist, and I have absolutely no idea what the title is in reference to. That said, the simplicity of the whole song, tune, rhythm and lyrics drew me in to hearing God’s voice speaking to me.

Dolly's never really been on my radar. I mean, I know who she is obviously, but I've never paid attention to her music (I know that on the off-chance someone reads this, they might just think that's a sin, but I'm ok with that!).
But doing some research for an assembly on "Faith" I stumbled upon Dolly Parton's collaboration with Galantis: "I Want to know what Love is" - Foreigner In a reverse to normal process with these posts, this time it started with some theology related reading, and I thought "There's a song for that..." "Ruin My Life" - Zara Larsson **
It's interesting what you hear when you first listen to a song, when you don't know what it's called, and you just find yourself singing along to the radio in the car... That's what happened with this one, and it was one of those "accidental worship" moments, when all of a sudden I'm belting out: "I want you to rule my life, you to rule my life, you to rule my life, yeah..." And now that I know they're not the right words, I still can't help but here them... ** Another "Potty-mouth" warning here... Along with the "Scantily-Clad-Lady" warning "Next to Me" - Imagine Dragons
Having bought a phone without a headphone input, and not being good enough at charging bluetooth headphones, I've not listened to a hug amount of music of late. This week I bought a new gadget, in order to try and remedy the situation, and I'm catching up with those random tracks I've "Shazamed" when they've made it on to Radio 2, or when I've been sat in a coffee shop and they've come on. I've always appreciated the sounds that "Imagine Dragons" put together, but never remember that I like them for very long. I'm listening back over some of their newer and older stuff, and the lyrics are jumping out at me too... Marc shares:
Crazy Fool - Jack Savoretti If youve read my post "Black Dog" this week, then you might have just smiled a little. That's ok. I forgive you. This song was playing in Wilko (other shops are available) when I called in on my snowy walk and I Shazamed it so I would remember. This is part of the "Rediscovering God" step. Listen and read the lyrics below. Let yourself ask the questions Jack asks of God... Maybe, if you're brave enough, you could spend some time in silence listening for a reply... |
