~"In this needle and haystack lifeI found miracles there in your eyes
It's no accident we're here tonight
We are once in a lifetime."
~Switchfoot
There’s a song by Casting Crowns called “In Me”
and it’s a good song…up until they have a kid start singing. It’s so weird. At the very end, this boy starts singing and he’s COMPLETELY OFF KEY. I get that he’s a kid and I guess it’s supposed to be cute, but it’s really like listening to nails on a chalk board. If you wanna get a kid to sing on your album, at least get one that can sing. There are a lot of talented kid singers. Every time I hear it I just want to understand what was going on in their heads when they decided it was an album-worthy recording.

Day 22: A picture of something you wish you were better at
I wish I were more musically inclined. My mom and I are the only people in my family who don’t really have any clue when it comes to music. I hated the saxophone and I hated practicing guitar or piano so I just ended up quitting. I just wanted to be good right away instead of having to work at it :-p
What are words.
Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I’ll be there
Anytime you whisper my name, you’ll see
How every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most
Every guy should be like Chris.
