Most times when you're planning something, meticulously planning and having some issues with the planning and some setbacks, life could so easily provide you with a contingency plan as quickly as I got a contingency post during my conversations today.
A story I have been crafting hasn't been going so well and I've basically been forcing the pen even though I'm out of ink to provide anything useful.
Regardless, after a conversation with a rather interesting and colorful lass, I'm here with a different post.
Y'all have heard me talk about lofi, rap, hip hop and pop music; but have you heard me talk about Christian music?
This is an edited version of the original song written by Robin Mark, who said he wrote the song after watching a 1994 news recap showing both the Rwandan Genocide and more hopefully events like the Irish ceasefires..
The irony led him to write this song, claiming the holy Spirit told him these are special "Elijah Days."
Donnie's version makes the song more like a praise song than a worship song, a song that makes you move your body and dance, with the help of the beautiful black christian choir.
With this track we're going back into the past, back to 2012 when I was still in the hospital bed for 6 months for a minor turn serious and then life changing elbow dislocation accident.
Back then Frank Edwards was a sensation, and this song was one of the few things that (I think) helped my recovery.
I do know that to my then 6 year old mind who just discovered his singing prowess, it was an easy song to abuse and the nurses—God bless their heart—let me abuse it😂.
Right now, I can't sing much more than the chorus, but the tune still does enter my head from time to time.
This one's a bit more recent and yet still can be classified an oldy as it's from 2017.
The renowned Nathaniel Bassey was just coming into light and he dropped a banger that forever shook the Nigerian Christian musical community.
"Olowogbogboro" which means "The God with the outstretched hand" in Yoruba is such a name that really invokes force and attention when said.
Then again, when mixed with the instruments, the guitar and the choir, this worship song is one that can't ever be looked down.
I guess that's it, this post really took me down a trip down memory lane as they're all quite old, linked to different parts of my past😂
Regardless of their age, they are timeless Christian songs that are sure to put you in the spirit when you listen to them.
And even if you aren't a Christian, you can enjoy the intricacies of the instruments, voices and lyrics!
And here's my entry into #threetunestuesday.
