One thing I love about Dave signing up for a record company is now his songs would have more airtime (not here, of course) and that means his singles would have to have videos. :D YAY. So now I present to you Dave Barnes’ video of (in my best friend’s words) the ultimate song, Until You. Go and grab some food from your fridge, pantry or popcorn machines, sit back and enjoy. :D Spread the Dave love. ♥
First off…INTERNET! I HAS IT! PLDT has been acting up for the past days, and I’ve been forced to sleep early because of it. Hee.
Anyway, since it’s almost my bedtime, I’ll drop by for a quick entry because the second part of an awaited package just arrived today. :D A few weeks ago I ordered some CDs online, including Dave Barnes’ Me and You and the World (which should have arrived at my friend’s aunt’s place now, and will be physically here by mid-May). After ordering that, I was talking to my friend who was ordering some stuff online too, and she mentioned ordering a particular artist’s album. Her CDs are waaay too expensive at Amazon, so I checked the one that her official site is endorsing, and saw it was cheaper there. And it accepts Paypal! And it ships to the Philippines! Whopee!
After a few weeks of waiting (and worrying if the second part of the package would ever arrive here)…it is finally here! Brooke Fraser finally arrived at my doorstep!
Brooke Fraser’s albums are miiine!
YAY! They aren’t my first original CDs (my first was Jennifer Knapp’s Lay it Down) and they’re not really the first CDs bought overseas (it was Hillsong’s Mighty to Save)…but these are the first CDs I ordered with my own money online. :D This is hard to find here and is really expensive in Amazon (around $30 per CD! GASP!). Buying it from Sanity is a great deal, plus it shipped all the way to my house! :D
I’ve listened to Brooke’s songs a thousand times already, but I love the fact that I have her CDs now. :) I’ll try to post a review of her albums soon — in the best way that I can, don’t expect too much. :P
I know this is weird, but it feels so nice to be able to support the artists I love. :) I started with Switchfoot and Jon Foreman (I bought all his 3 EPs a few weeks back), now with Dave Barnes and Brooke Fraser. :) Give me time, I’ll get to buy the albums of all the artists I love; even if it’s only through iTunes.
If you really love the artist, support them! It’s really no different than supporting a charity or an event or drug rehabilitation. What’s cool is that when you finally get to meet the artist, you have something for them to sign, which they would really appreciate you having. And of course, they’d have the funds to continue making the music that we love. Win-win, yes? :)
I know this is late, but I’m jumping the bandwagon. I’m no American Idol fan (never found the time to watch it heh), but this guy might just change it. I heard David Cook’s version of Always Be My Baby in Ganns‘ blog, and I am hooked. I love it! I love his version, I love his rocker voice! ♥ I’ve had his song on repeat, and when I’m not listening to it, it still plays on my mind. It’s that good, so much better than the best acne treatment (whut?). Hee. This actually made me stop listening to the Altar Boyz soundtrack for the rest of the week. ;)
Really good eh? He has my bet, even if I don’t really watch AI. Go David Cook! ♥

It’s no secret: I am a Christian, and I am a boyband fan. I am a self-confessed Backstreet Boys fan (sorry Julie, N Sync is just second on my list ^^), and I have spent some years of my life collecting stuff about them, playing their albums nonstop, crushing on Nick Carter, and even writing stories about them. I used to watch MTV all day just to catch their videos, even if I’ve watched that a million times before. I’ve moved on from that, but every now and then I still love singing boyband songs because they’re such great stress relievers.
So the moment I heard about Altar Boyz, a musical about a Christian boyband from Julie, I knew I just had to watch it. I am all for Christian rock/alternative (hello Switchfoot!), but I still have my boyband roots, and combining the two would just be fun.
And it was AWESOME.
In preparation for the arrival of Dave Barnes’ new CD in my hands (which will arrive around May :D), I’ve been listening to his songs from his past albums (Three then Four, Brother, Bring the Sun, and Chasing Mississippi). The thing I really love about Dave is that you get to love all of his songs over time. The first song I really liked listening from him was Grace’s Amazing Hands, followed by my love for his song Until You. And then there’s the sad Stay Away and the oh-so-happy Butterflies. As I was playing my Dave playlist, I found myself listening once again to one of his old songs which I never really paid attention to before, and now I’m loving it. :D It has this funky groove, the type you’d like to listen to while preparing for a night out with friends or driving somewhere on the way to an excursion, digital cameras in hand. Yeah. Makes me feel like summer all over again. :D
So without further ado, I share with you Someday Sarah by Dave Barnes from the Chasing Mississippi album. :D Happy Friday!
SOMEDAY SARAH
Dave BarnesHer face can move a mountain
Her water colored eyes, they shine
Every breathe she takes, she takes a little bit of mine
She’s every woman’s envy
Her smile it rises like the sun
When you think you’ve come to the end of her, you’ve just begunSomeday, Sarah
Someday, you will be my baby
Someday, Sarah
Someday, you will be my babyHer lips ring loud with glory
Her words they rattle and the hum
There’s no part of woman that she has not become
Her laughter peals like thunder
Her anger like the ocean tide
Her love is thick and sweet and it’s Sahara-wideSomeday, Sarah
Someday, you will be my baby.
Someday, Sarah
Someday, you will be my baby.
(2x)
