Brilliant songs that not many people know about!

This is a list of songs that are actually incredibly good but a lot of people dont listen to them and judge cause of the artist or whatever and some are just unknowns...but I will try to make them known now to the 5 people that read this blog lol. There are some artists on this list that will make you say WHAT!?! (f/ex lindsay lohan) but they are fantastic give them a listen...

1: Sober - Kelly Clarkson - Listen to the lyrics and music its just beautifully brilliant

2: Division - Aly & Aj - The highly underestimated duo, this song is the best, most sarcastic break up song i have ever heard!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjRSxGiZ9oA&feature=related

3: The Art - Rachael Lampa - Just a beautiful song, wow...great lyrics the youtube video is weird but just ignore it and listen to the song :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXV9zFbUl44

4: My Innocence - Lindsay Lohan - Yes this is a song written by Lindsay Lohan yes a musically brilliant song, it gives me the chills...listen to the chord change at 2:38...MMMM...dont underestimate the teen queens :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjHhZOPxzIw

5: We are lost without you - Elizabeth Hunnicutt - One of the best songs ever (in my opinion of course) :) WOW LYRICS
http://www.elizabethhunnicutt.com/ - go to the playlist at bottom right and it is number 2

6: Send it on - Disney Channel stars - Oh ya, stop judging and listen to how good the song is!

7: AHA! - Imogen Heap - SUCH A COOL SONG!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9_S8nrdERY

8: Delicate Child - Rj Helton - Such a heartbreaking song, Rj sings about the after effects of being molested by his uncle as a 7 year old. But a great song, a lot of emotion.

9: Have your way - Britt Nicole - A "fall to your knees" song...wow so powerful.

Bored...

So I am sitting here trying to figure out the best way to get my music out there, and of course I have hit the wall that every artist hits at some point. There are 10 gazillion people trying to do the same thing DUH! I knew that but you always try to tell urself that u will just get into the biz right away! So now I have come to the conclusion that I will leave it in God's hands. If he wants me to become successful in this then I will, I just have to wait for his time :) But now I am bored, cause its still raining and I wanna watch a movie but I cant cause I dont get paid till 2morrow
:( Oh well

until next time :)

Soooo....

So ya its rain season here in Orange County and let me tell u that it was more than I bargained for. So Me and my wife were out driving innocently on the side of the road, and all of a sudden bam it was raining SUPER hard, the sand bags that were meant to hold the water broke all over the streets so we were driving through virtual mud, the sewer caps were levatating from the water pressure not to mention all the water spraying out of the sewers, see California has the opposite effect on water, instead of draining it...more water comes from unexpected places to add on to the fun. So to make a long story short we ended up waist high in water and i had to get out and push our car that had stopped...then we had to wait for the motor to dry off cause the car was sputtering...but anywho after that we went to Barnes & Noble and I read more of the Percy Jackson series...WHICH I LOVE! Then we watched "The Accidental Husband" and "Push" Both Great movies which I recommend...ALSO just saw "The Book of Eli" it was just an amazing movie :) Click the links below for these books and movies :) Now its a new day and we are going to Vanguard!! YAY

Okay I know its been a while !!

Sorry guys I totally forgot about the blogging world...so a lot has happened since my last update...A LOT! I am now living in L.A moved here with my wifey 2 weeks ago after an amazingly fun road trip across half of America with two other swedish buds. My sister in law and one of my greatest friends Sebastian. We had a whole lot of fun!!

My cd is now out and is doing very well, I know God has an amazing plan and I am very excited to see what that is :) I am going to an AMAZING church here...it is called Life church and is Pastored by an amazing couple Phil and Jeannie Munsey, just incredible people of God. Just the 2 services I have gone to have changed me so very much!

We are living with my sister Jeanette who leads worship at the church with Another worship leader Jason Chatham...he ROCKS! What I love most is not oly is he great musically but he has the right heart about why he is doing what he is doing. I have been reading in Nehemiah and it has really encouraged me to rebuild the wall in my life and not a wall in a "blocking myself out" way but rather a strong foundation to stand on. I know this is where me and Anna are supposed to be and it has been evident through the incredible favor God is showing us. I went to apply for jobs today and the first one I applied to I got an interview Woohoo!! :) Meeting some awesome people here and I can't wait for the future...YAY!

This weekend I am the musical guest for a comedy dvd recording...Fishsticks Comedy they are hilarious. Based out of Milwaukee, so it looks like I have to leave this blissful 75 degree weather and go back to negative 2 haha...but thats okay :)

Well see u 2morrow

Peace
