Posted in: Musicouching by Poetic Enigma on October 21st, 2009 | 9 Comments

Finally a new edition in my new music series. I decided to introduce two new and incredibly talented musicians. I hope you enjoy!

It has been a while since I have introduced new music, and after coming across these two artists, I just had to share!

Brandon Heath, Amazing singer and song writer from Nashville Tennessee. His genres of music are pop, christian and acoustic. Brandon sings songs of faith, forgiveness, pain, plus many other profound topics. I thought he was brilliant from the first song of his I heard, which was called “Give Me Your Eyes.” This song is essentially about seeing the world the way God sees it, and I can tell he puts his heart, faith, and compassion in all his songs.

“Wait and See” is another amazing song about faith, and being patient in life and that there is always hope when you believe in God. He has plans for us, that we just have to wait and see. If you would like to know the stories that go with the background of this song, you can found them on Brandon’s Website.

Another beautiful song by Brandon is “Love Never Fails,” which is about the verse from the bible; 1 Corinthians 13.  This song is so beautifully written and magically sung.  He sings the truth in this song, and I admire him for that.  Not only in this song, but every song.

My favorite song by Brandon Heath is “I’m Not Who I Was”

“I’m Not Who I Was,” is a song about pain, and forgiveness. A song about change. Most of us find ourselves in a spot at some point in our lives when we all want one thing; Change. The change may be something be minor, or it may be something huge. Perhaps you want to rid yourself of fear, depression, addiction, insecurities, etc. That’s what this song is about. Changing for the better, and saying “I’m not who I was.”

I thought I would share this song with you.  Thanks to pmgsonybmg for the video!

Another great singer I wanted to introduce is Dallas Green (also known as City and Colour, which is his folk music project).  Dallas is a 29 year old singer-songwriter from Canada.  Some may know him for his guitar and singing talent in the post-hardcore band Alexisonfire.

My top favorite songs (that I’m sure you will all enjoy too) are:

  • “Hello, I’m In Delaware”
  • “Comin’ Home”
  • “Day Old Hate”

Dallas’s songs always make me think, and question what they are about.  They are full of depth and heart, but some I do not know what they are about.  Some writers can write in a way that songs can mean different things to different people.  To me, “Hello, I’m In Delaware,” is about a long distance relationship, and the character is just watching as time goes by as they are apart. 

“Comin’ Home,” may be viewed differently by everyone.  I have never been one for analyzing lyrics and what they mean, or could mean.  To me the song is about someone seeing the world, and all of it’s beauty, but the person would rather be home; so they are coming home. 

“Day Old Hate,” is another song I am not so sure about the meaning.  Perhaps it is about a relationship ending, maybe forgiving and moving on.  I just think it is a beautiful song full of depth.  I will share this song as well, so you can get a taste of Dallas Green’s music.  What do you think of this song, if you know it or listened?  Feedback is definitely welcome!

Thanks to hunykore for the video!
