This tag #ttt was started by @ablaze and as he says:

every Tuesday I pick three songs, sometimes all three from the same artist, sometimes three tunes from a particular genre, other times three songs from a certain country - you get the idea. I've always asked others to get involved and over the past few weeks, that is exactly what's happened and we now have some ThreeTune regulars which is fantastic! The ask is to basically choose three songs to share. You can sing them or hum them or just pick three from an artist you love like I do, which is what most people do each week.

I am going to kick off with 3 songs from my favourite band... it's the music I head to whenever I find myself happy, sad, or needing to work through some thoughts or feelings.

It's truly the music I turn to when I'm

Hanging by a moment, Breathing through the Storm

This was such a difficult choice to select just 3 songs because, quite frankly, there is not a single song of theirs that I do not love. I am a massive fan😍

I have seen this band live in concert and they are incredible. I also met them for a photo opp before one of their London shows a few years back (photo at the end of this post - I went with my younger brother standing to my right in the checked shirt, who is also a big fan).

Their lead singer and songwriter, Jason Wade, has quite simply one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard... and he's really lovely too.

Background
Jason's parents were missionaries and he ministered himself for a bit. His lyrics are heavily influenced by spirituality and Christianity although Lifehouse has marketed itself as an alt-rock band, first and foremost, as opposed to a Christian band. In essence, though, they are both, and Jason makes no bones about how important his faith is to him. He has said on a number of occasions that to him, his music is to be interpreted by his fans in the way in which they need it at the time... be that as a collection of love songs or a representation of the relationship that one may have with God.

In 1995, at the tender age of 15, Jason taught himself guitar and formed the band Lifehouse, originally known as Blyss.

Hanging by a Moment appeared on their debut album, No Name face which was released in 2000, and the song was "the most played radio track of 2001." source It catapulted them into the limelight and it, therefore, seems fitting to start this #threetunetuesday off with that song.

This song has fantastic energy to it. I can turn up the volume and just dance and sing around my lounge. I still remember playing it all the time in my first couple of years in the UK. My husband was working away in China a lot on contract and we were in completely different time zones. We caught each other at odd hours between work, I would be tired and ready for bed late at night and he would be tired, having woken up early to chat with me before work. I often felt as though we were living our lives, together but separate, our relationship and love hanging by the moments. This year we have been together 26 years.
