So I kinda stole this song idea/artist idea from another artist, Danny Oertli. And I have NO regrets about stealing it from him! :) Love Melanie Penn's voice! Not only am I digging her voice and talent but I was checking her out at melaniepenn.com and I like her as a person! She wants to be authentic so she's doing what she's gotta do to make sure she is! Read her blog on her site and you'll see what I mean. Here's just a quick example of what I mean (from her blog):
Okay fine, we'll talk about the song a little! :) I like Ordinary Day, I like the tune, I like her voice (already stated), I like the video - it's quirky and fun. I like the lyrics but didn't get the full meaning of them until I looked them up and read them. Then I didn't just like this song. I LOVED IT.
In all of our ordinary days there is a presence. He's there whether you realize it or not, whether you acknowledge him or not, whether you want him to be there or not. And in our ordinary days he makes things, when we let him, extraordinary.
Ordinary Day
Look, lest ye stumble.
I was walking today & caught my reflection in a window as I passed by it. Here were my thoughts: “Hmmmm – good outfit. It’s working. Hair’s getting long. Lookin good lookin good …”
And then I tripped.
Don’t have to go to Sunday school to figure this one out … if I keep my eyes on myself – and continue on my natural path of self absorption – I will surely stumble. And fall.
Speaking of fall, it’s here. The seasonal kind, that is. The kind to be happy about. I hope you get to stroll around a bit this weekend – arm-in-arm with someone you love.
MPOkay fine, we'll talk about the song a little! :) I like Ordinary Day, I like the tune, I like her voice (already stated), I like the video - it's quirky and fun. I like the lyrics but didn't get the full meaning of them until I looked them up and read them. Then I didn't just like this song. I LOVED IT.
