This is one of my favorite vocals ever.
"Lay 'em Down" from NEEDTOBREATHE. For some reason they insist on all-caps-ing their name, with no spaces. I don't quite get it. Or get it at all actually.
I love that this song is kept to three minutes. I think that's what held down a lot of tracks on The Heat.

Frisbee is cool
I always want to title Sunday posts, "Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!" I think I've avoided that so far...
Went to church all by my lonesome. I was a few minutes late. The front row, as I guess is a universal protestant church norm, was totally empty though, so I found my spot there. I think my toe-nails are as long as they have ever been...dang...look at those things.
Nic and Bill stopped by and graciously invited me to their game of ultimate frisbee. This thing is telling me I've spelt frisbee wrong. But it doesn't offer any suggestions. Could I really have gone all these days misspelling frisbee?
I said yes for once. And I didn't regret it. I had one glorious moment where I caught a..."touchdown." but for the most part was far from among the more productive members of my 7 man team. I was probably actually the...worst. There were two girls on my team too. Yes. That does indeed mean something. But it's ok. I'll chalk it up to me being a relative stranger to most of the folks. Nic's a really cool guy.
We played for probably around two hours. It was a pretty good workout. Made me feel better about ignoring my alarm to go running this morning.
You know what else? CCF was really pretty good on Friday. My opinion of that group hasn't been given a chance to fully develope. Mostly because I haven't given them a proper chance I think. Probably a negative effect of me living off campus and my roommate being a high school friend. I am inclined to follow what he does, without going and experiencing much on my own.
Lack of confidence, anger, cynicism, lust. I think those are my big four vices. It's good to know what they are I think. Specifically. More than just that broad I'm a sinner acknowledgement. Not that that is expressly incorrect though. I might add gossip on there as a fifth. Five is a nicer number.
Lack of confidence totally can be a sin newbs. Because I'm more than a conqueror!
Mom says I'm 5 or 6 years out from having a fully developed set of people skills. Happy Mother's Day lol.
I'm making progress though! So that's good. I hope I don't lose ALL of my quirkiness in the process though.
Today I don't think law school is for me. We'll see what I think tomorrow.
The Passion of the Christ was on what I can only describe as the "Jesus Channel." We get that and not Tennis Channel? Not that a Jesus Channel isn't awesome (ok. I haven't seen a good one). But...They're usually angled towards the more mature (and more vulnerable/wealthy) Anyway, I wound up watching the last 90 minutes or so of that. There's some interesting artistic(/catholic?) liberties taken with the Bible, but it's a solid passion play. I waxed lachrymose every 8 or 9 minutes probably.
I desperately need to do laundry after two weeks. It's the smell...Only 5 weeks until summer. Which. I'll we'll make the most of it. And I certainly won't be anxious in anything, or grumbling and complaining about everything now will I?
#7) This is very nearly the perfect song Sara. I don't care what you say. Is there a better song to blow your vocals chords up with in 4 minutes or less? No. Well. Maybe "Your Song."
"God Save the Foolish Kings" Not exactly the reason I love House of Heroes. I actually think...their real sound is elsewhere. But this is a flipping great song still.

Numba Six
Just to catch up. If this list was in any kind've order, this would be top 5 material. And yeah.
Meant to Live. I bet you didn't know this was on the Spiderman 2 soundtrack.

I originally had a different song picked for today. But. I decided I wasn't sure it was good enough. But this one for sure is
"Surprise" from Jars of Clay. Dan Haseltine is almost as good a poet as Jon Foreman. But...he's less consistently good I guess. This song...is great. And proof that Jars in the last decade was better than Jar in the 90s despite what most people say.

Number 4
Get used to seeing Relient K and Switchfoot showing up on this list...I wish they'd go on tour together again.
"More Than Useless" represents everything that makes Mmhmm, lyrically and musically, my SECOND favorite cd of all time from anyone. The instant relatability and effortless flow. This is a crispy song. A crispy album. Jake and I were discussing how Thiessen is so practical and explicit with his verse. Maybe too much so. But dang it he makes up for it with that...flow. That incredible wit. His playfulness. And heck, sometimes I want/need to be spoon fed.

I'm a song/day behind. It's been difficult to post regularly for whatever reason.
Jake was listening to this song yesterday. His twenty-second birthday is Thursday February 9th, 2012. Lucky dog.
"Let That Be Enough"
Lyrically, Jon Foreman's on the top of his game here. This song has some of the best metaphor and imagery in any of his work, but it still winds up being so straightforward. It's awesome.
