Song of the Day. Music reflecting the mood of the moment, or sharing a discovery of the day.
SOTD: “It’s Real” by K-Ci and JoJo
by Bruce • December 19, 2012 • SOTD • 0 Comments
Not hip to the hot R&B of the 90’s, I came across this tune on my Backstreet Boys station on Pandora (no snickering!), and all I can say is I love the sterling sound of these brothers’ blended vocals. I wish I could sing, and if I could I wish I could sing in...

I love the lyrics to the chorus of this song. Contrary to the covert relationship portrayed in the video, authentic love encourages us to be visibly strong and dedicated to those we love, and draws us to also encourage and nurture strength in others. It drives us to be strength in the storm, to...

Take 80’s “I Can Dream About You” guy, throw in the goofy frenetic action of the movie “Fletch”, and weave in some pseudo club beats, and you get this peppy pill. This is dedicated to my bro ChrisP, because “It’s the name of the game- it’s not about money…” That about says it all....

SOTD: “Get Em Going” by Euge Groove
by Bruce • November 16, 2012 • SOTD • 0 Comments
My original foray into smooth jazz started with a sampling of much of the exemplary music by saxophonist Dave Koz. Koz set the bar in jazz for me. With the help of Pandora listening, I’ve picked up some new jazz artist favorites over time. Along with Koz, Chris Botti stepped up as the man...

This song has remained in my head over the last few days after hearing it this weekend. I fail, I falter, and yet He is always present to draw me close to His heart. A suitable song of praise for today.

by Bruce • November 7, 2012 • SOTD • 0 Comments
One of my favorite rockier groups from the ’80’s. I was pretty much a Christian radio kid growing up, and Idle Cure put some edge into the schmaltzy AOR I subscribed to. As always, my friend Chris Payton paved the way for my evolving musical tastes for most of those years. Fist bump, dude....

After just realizing who these guys were, today the news breaks that they are discontinuing their current tour, and face an uncertain future. Relationships. Sometimes so tenuous.

Something in me, dark and sticky All the time it’s getting strong No way of dealing with this feeling Can’t go on like this too long This time you’ve gone too far This time you’ve gone too far This time you’ve gone too far I told you, I told you, I told you, I...

The lyrics have been going through my mind this morning. Love ain’t love until you give it away. — “Give It Away” She asked him for forever And a promise that would last He said, “Babe, you know I love you But I can’t commit to that” She said “Love isn’t love ‘Til you...

by Bruce • October 26, 2012 • SOTD • 0 Comments
Peter Cetera is famous for his Chicago hits and his duets. I didn’t really know who Crystal Bernard was until I saw her in shows from the last year or two of the series she was in, “Wings”, and I thought she was cute and funny. I came across Cetera’s fourth solo project at...

Some funk-a-riffic tunage by a group shared with me by Ben Savoca, king of electrofunk and cool story bromanship, and who happens to look curiously like the lead singer of this group. What’s up with that, Ben?

“Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the miraculous signs he was doing and believed in his name. But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men.” ~ John 2:23-24 “For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to...
