Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone
Gazing at the people down below me
All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone
Hungry for the histories they show me
All my life I memorize their faces
Knowing them as they will never know me
All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day
Not above them
But part of them

And out there
Living in the sun
Give me one day out there
All I ask is one
To hold forever

Out there
Where they all live unaware
What I’d give
What I’d dare
Just to live one day out there

Sam Robson

Published on Sep 29, 2016

What can I say, the song hit me in the feels the minute I heard it, and to be honest with you I wanted to know what it would feel like to sing such an incredible melody.

Hope you like it folks.
Lots of love to all of you

Lyrics:
Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone
Gazing at the people down below me
All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone
Hungry for the histories they show me
All my life I memorize their faces
Knowing them as they will never know me
All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day
Not above them
But part of them

And out there
Living in the sun
Give me one day out there
All I ask is one
To hold forever

Out there
Where they all live unaware
What I’d give
What I’d dare
Just to live one day out there

Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives
Through the roofs and gables I can see them
Ev’ry day they shout and scold and go about their lives
Heedless of the gift it is to be them
If I was in their skin
I’d treasure ev’ry instant

Out there
Strolling by the Seine
Taste a morning out there
Like ordinary men
Who freely walk about there
Just one day and then
I swear I’ll be content
With my share
Won’t resent
Won’t despair
Old and bent
I won’t care
I’ll have spent
One day
Out there

Hercules – Go The Distance – Acapella Arrangement!

Published on Jan 27, 2017

This my first Disney arrangement done on request. I couldn’t help but notice a few threads suggesting this one in the comments section and as I am already familiar with this song and it’s awesomeness, I decided to give it a go!

I feel it’s fair to mention fair use as have not straight up copied any visuals without applying my own creative spin to it.

Enjoy!!!

Lyrics:
I have often dreamed of a far off place
Where a great warm welcome will be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying this is where I’m meant to be

I will find my way, I can go the distance
I’ll be there someday if I can be strong
I know every mile will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong

I am on my way – I can go the distance
I don’t care how far – Somehow I’ll be strong
I know every mile will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere to find where I belong

I will beat the odds – I can go the distance
I will face the world – fearless proud and strong
I will please the Gods – I can go the distance
Till I find my hero’s, welcome right where I belong

Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With ALL our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!

A WELS Lutheran college choir that a relative sings in inspired me this summer! Since then, I’ve posted many vocal harmony videos in my MUSIC Videos That Matter category. During high school, I played trumpet, but regret now that I didn’t do anything vocal except just me and my guitar.

I attended Wisconsin Synod Lutheran (WELS) schools K-12, and was particularly blessed by hearing the lyrics of these two songs during this concert:

Amazing Grace – Moscow Easter Festival 2015

Published on Oct 14, 2015

Amazing Grace is arguably one of the most recognisable songs in the English-speaking world. This version was arranged for us by our very own Doug Harrington with the help of Rasmus Krigström. This recording is from a concert held in the “Church of the Presentation of the Holy Mother and Peter and Paul” in Moscow in the beginning of May of 2015.

Doug admits that arranging a song with such dignity and that already has been done in countless different versions was a hard task. The inspiration for this arrangement came from visioning what it would be like to ascend to heaven.

Soloists are Emanuel Roll, Mattias Larsson and Hritul Karim.

Det är en ros utsprungen – Jan Sandström

Det är en ros utsprungen av Jesse rot och stam. Av fädren ren besjungen,
den står i tiden fram, en blomma skär och blid, mitt i den kalla vinter,
i midnatts mörka tid.

There is a rose that springs up from Jesse’s root and stem. By venerable fathers extolled, that stood in former times, a flower blushing and gentle, amidst the cold winter, in a dark midnight-hour.

Awestruck girl in Redwood forest photo: ‘Amongst Giants’ — Glorious!!!

California dreaming: the redwoods of the Otway Ranges

On July 2, 2017

In Fun–or–AMAZING Stuff!, Redwoods Channel

Though these young Redwoods are not at all close to being the largest, this fantastic photo helps viewers experience the awe of what it’s really like to experience this. The little girl looking up with arms over her heart makes it. [The heart is more than a pump].

For maximum experience, click on this image to see the large, detailed one, and click the full-screen arrows. The image opens to wider than a 21.5″ iMac when the browser is fully expanded.

Surprisingly, these Redwoods are in Australia, as the story below explains.

– –

This isn’t the coast of northern California. It is the Otway Ranges in western Victoria, thousands of kilometres from the redwoods’ natural home.

Hidden down an old unsealed logging road near Beech Forest, not a lot is known about the Aire Valley redwoods.

Planted as a softwood logging experiment in the 1930s, their initial growth was slow but eventually, they started to shoot upwards at a rapid rate. The trees were never cut down and have now grown to a height of about 60 metres [197 feet].

Forestry expert Roger Smith, who has written a book on the Otways redwoods, thinks they could grow to almost twice that height in the next 70 years.

That would make them some of the tallest trees in the world. “Hyperion”, a redwood in northern California, holds the title of the tallest tree in the world at 115 metres [377 feet].

FrankenSkies, Weird Weather and Lacklustre Light: The New Normal

By Mufidah Kassalias

June 26, 2017

(GLARING Hypocrisy) Weather modification has drastically changed skies and weather systems across the globe, especially in the last ten or twenty years. Go anywhere in the world and it’s quickly apparent that the same heinous crimes are being committed, and no matter which terms are used — chemtrails, geoengineering, solar radiation management (SRM), stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), and so on — the results are Frankenstein-inspired skies, weird weather and lacklustre light. The skies are streaked, smeared, filled with bizarre cloud formations, white, grey or, at best, a chalky blue. Sunshine is greatly diminished and when it shines it’s extremely rare for the earth to be bathed in warm, yellow light. The [unimpeded] golden hour, a gift for photographers, has all but disappeared. …
