Found this song, another Olympic tribute video.  Even though the video clips are from past Olympics, it’s still fun to watch and the song’s cool.  Hey, we’ve only got four more days…   http://www.youtube.com/v/4EXPzah7RC0?hl=en&hd=1&lt;\/embed><\/object><\/div>";” alt=””>

We lost another great today.  Marvin Hamlisch was an amazing musician and composer.  His music was everywhere while I was growing up, on the radio or at the movies.  He was truly a golden boy.  Though he wrote countless songs and scores, as soon as I heard the news of his death, I knew immediatelyContinue reading “366 Day Project-Day 220-Nobody Does It Better”

Heard the Script perform on the Today show and had to look them up.  It’s always fun to find someone new, to me at least.  Loved the lyrics and the song fits my Olympics theme perfectly.      http://www.youtube.com/v/5lpcWqecyak?hl=en&hd=1&lt;\/embed><\/object><\/div>";” alt=””>

I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord!” Ps 122:1 It was good to be at church today.  The fellowship and the message was sweet balm to my soul.  We sang this song and it, too, was good.  I love this part of the chorus, “YouContinue reading “366 Day Project-Day 218-Stronger”

Been fascinated by the music finds the last couple of days as I’ve searched for music tied to the Olympics.  Here’s another excellent find.   http://www.youtube.com/v/l4ypIbLV9gk?hl=en&hd=1&lt;\/embed><\/object><\/div>";” alt=””>

It’s now day 7 and I guess I should go ahead and share the “Official” song of the Olympics…  It’s all good.   http://www.youtube.com/v/66molzUEkWI?hl=en&hd=1&lt;\/embed><\/object><\/div>";” alt=””>

In keeping with the Olympic theme the last couple of days, I found this song and have to share it.  I really like how the video cuts back and forth between scenes from previous Olympics and the lead-up to the London events.  So many of the participants from before are here at this Olympics andContinue reading “366 Day Project-Day 215-This Dream”

This is the song played during the lighting of the Olympic Cauldron at the London 2012 Opening Ceremony.  Sadly, I did not see the lighting, because I had to leave before they aired that portion…  Still trying to find video that covered that part, but having no luck. sigh.  Cool song, though.   http://www.youtube.com/v/Mec8GZkEpD4?hl=en&hd=1&lt;\/embed><\/object><\/div>";” alt=””>

Been a rough few days as I’ve dealt with some disappointments.  Having to re-group and re-think things a bit.  This video seemed appropriate.  Feeling like I’m alone out on that open ocean and not sure where the waves are taking me.  Dark clouds are setting in, but my compass is set to True North.  ThatContinue reading “366 Day Project-Day 213-The Rip Tide”

Just read today that “The Hobbit” will be made into a trilogy.  Ooh, just writing that gave me goosebumps!  I read the Hobbit years ago as a young adult and fell in love with Middle Earth.  I then followed Bilbo and Frodo through Middle Earth again when I read the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Continue reading “366 Day Project-Day 212-Misty Mountains (Cold)”
