Playlist 1 - Fate will decide

Hello my friends.

The theme of this first week is fate. I hope that you see the connection I will make in these songs. Whatever one calls it....whether it be fate, or trust, or faith in God's provision, for the sake of these songs and my explanation of them, it does NOT matter!! The point is that God opens doors in our lives and allows people to come together for friendships, learning and most importantly love. Regarding love, the right person or "the one" is out there for all of us and this music helps us never forget that. Purity, integrity, trustworthiness, and perseverance are all qualities that help strengthen our character(s) and catalyze the right thing happenening and God's will being done in our lives.

Do you remember when we were just kids,and cardboard boxes took us miles from what we would miss?School yard conversations taken to heart,and laughter took the place of everything we knew we were not.I want to break every clock.the hands of time could never move again.We could stay in this moment for the rest of our lives.Is it over now hey, hey is it over now?I want to be your last first kiss, that you'll ever have.I want to be your last first kiss.Amazing how life turns out, the way that it does.We end up hurting the worst, the only ones we really love.


Anberlin is an amazing Christian rock band out of Orlando. This song is a very relaxing and beautiful song about love memory, time and love. "I want to be your last first kiss" is an amzing expression of devotion and sincere love. It is not some shallow fling or a "fun" experience, it is pure and true love.


2. Emerson Hart - I wish the best for you

how long can we wait here to say goodbye? the words once they're spoken, are words that we cant take back to where we were before things got in the way life gets so confusing when you know what youre losing * you, me, why can't we see that there's more to love than we'll ever know? sometimes you're closer when you're letting go i wish the best for you i wish the best for you.

This song was one of my favorite songs as I walked around New York on the peaceful NY summer nights. It is a song about care and respect for one that you love. Sometimes as he says in the song "why can't we see that there's more to love than we'll ever know," true love is much deeper and more important than what one wants or desires at any time, it has to be meant to be.
While this song seems sad and he wrote it for friends of his who were getting divorced, I think there is a crucial lesson to be learned here about sacrifice.

3. Blake Shelton - Austin Blakeshelton.com

The telephone fell to the counterShe heard but she couldn't believeWhat kind of man would hang on that longWhat kind of love that must beShe waited three days, and then she tried againShe didn't know what she'd say,But she heard three rings and thenIf it's Friday night I'm at the ballgameAnd first thing Saturday, if it don't rainI'm headed out to the lakeAnd I'll be gone, all weekend longBut I'll call you back when I get homeOn Sunday afternoonAnd P.S. If this is Austin, I still love youWell, this time she left her numberBut not another wordThen she waited by the phone on Sunday evenin'And this is what he heardIf you're callin' 'bout my heartIt's still yoursI should've listened to it a little moreThen it wouldn't have taken me so long to know where I belongAnd by the way, boy, this is no machine you're talkin' toCan't you tell, this is Austin, and I still love you

Im gonna go ahead and dedicate this song for Boris Michev, who loves it as well hahaha.
This song is an epic story about a guy and a girl who are separated by time and circumstance but they are clearly still in love. This song is the epidemy of committment, and devotion and the message it has sends a chill up my spine about every time I listen to it. One of my all time favorites......

4. Matt Wertz - 5:19 http://www.myspace.com/mattwertz

With one eye on the clockAnd one on the phoneIt's 5:19...I'm feeling aloneAnd if I could talk to youI'd want you to knowI'm holding loose, But ain't letting go. Baby, take all the time you need I just want you to knowI'll be here, waiting

Matt wertz is an amazing artist who I have seen several times live. He is coming out with a new cd this summer for which I am very excited. This song is about patience and waiting for the right timing in relationships. The clock and phone imagery make this song alive and so meaningful.

5. Dan Wilson - All kinds http://www.myspace.com/danwilsonmusic

One life is all we ever getAnd all we ever give up for it in returnIs all of the ones we might have beenJust one kind of beautiful each in our turnInnocence and consequenceI only hope we never learnRunning all around all aroundAll kinds of beautifulRunning all around all aroundAll kinds of beautifulHey now, every little thing you gave to meMade the time pass faster than my eyes could even seeYou are true improbabilityYou're the proof of when they sayYou never know what's gonna be

Dan wilson, the ex semisonic lead singer has an amazing album called free life which contains this song. I have had girls tell me "I wish a guy would sing this song to me" :) This song shows how girls want to be loved and appreciated for all kinds of beauty and how when truly in love, a guy can recognize all kinds. " One life is all we ever get" so make sure you find "the one" !!!!!!!
