… No more exams!! Happy days. Man its been too long since I last posted… sorry guys. Exams are finally over, had my last one this morning, ICT module 2. Went well i think! Now that they’re out of the way I have a bit more free time to concentrate on important stuff – like SonShine week, and the likes.
So next thing… Foy!
The guy is incredible! I went to hear him play in Belfast on Friday night, and he blew me away again. Was the first time i’d heard him perform with a band, and it was impressive- im looking forward to his EP finally coming out. You can check his stuff out here. If you havent heard him yet – make the effort to go see him! Big things are a-coming.
That’ll do for today me thinks.

“Lord I want to yearn for You
I want to burn with passion
Over You and only You
Lord I want to yearn”
The words to that song are resonating deeply with me. Man I just want that to be me. Thats my deepest longing… I just want to be passionate over my Saviour. And I know I havent been lately, not like I should. I’ve been listening to that song, and its become my prayer.
Lord, I want to yearn for You.

Last night I was at the Third Day concert in Belfast… and it was amazing. The guys just put on such a great show. I ended up sitting 4 th row, but got some great pictures up at the front.
They played Show Me Your Glory this year too, so I was pleased… its my favourite song and they didnt play it last year. All in all it was a pretty good set list, they did a few new songs too. Fantastic!

Have you every really thought about the power of music? I was listening to an album today, and got to thinking about all the situations it’s used in- in films, adverts, shops, even a soundtrack to our own lives. Music seems to have some kind of magical quality about it that can produce all sorts of emotions and feelings within us. What is it about music than can do that to me? Is it the lyrics? The melody? What? There was a really good discussion on the philosphy of music on the Down to Earth forum, you can check it out here. Well, it took a while to get into it, but if you perserver there are some interesting points raised.
I think my favourite question raised was, “Does it communicate something, or is it a mirror for us to see in?” I dont know the answer to that question, but when i’ve thought about it, I think for most people it is some kinda of ‘mirror’ for us to see ourselves in. When you look at the types of music we listen to in different situations, it almost always seems to relate to whatever situation we’re going through… for example, think of the typical music you play when your going through a break-up, really romantic stuff, or when your high as a kit and everythings going great, you play something uplifting.
Its really cool! I wonder how God feels when he hears music? I wonder does he feel the same range of emotions from it? What does it sound like to God? Wow, big, mind-blowing thoughts!

“Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
You trust, you must
Confess”
Lyrics from the new Foo Fighters song, Best of You. Really good song by the way, however, right now, I’m just loving the lyrics. Can you feel the emotion in it, the tension? It’s just honesty. I think for me it’s making me search again… where is my faith? Is it still here? Where did the hope go? So I just keep trusting, even through the pain… what else can I do?

“Through these misty eyes, It’s plain to see,
Even though you’re here, you’re not with me.
Tortured by the thought, torn in two,
Reason needs no voice, when you know its true…
I try to speak, but my tongue gets tied,
I try to seek, But you’re hard to find,
My will is weak, ’cause my heart’s resigned,
It’s like I’m seeing you for the first time.”
My will is weak because my heart’s resigned… it’s like i’m seeing you for the first time.
Not sure what it is about those lyrics, but they strick a chord with me at the minute.
