30 Day Writing Challenge- Day 20

1) "walk away" by Christina Aguilera...
well this is one of the best songs by Christina in my opinion, vocally and lyrically. She wrote this song and the lyrics are almost completely perfect. It's so moving and sad, and you can really feel that she means what she is singing about. I have many times related to this song on a personal level. It's very 1950's loungey sounding as well, I love it.

2) "Man of constant sorrow" as covered by Sawyer Fredericks... I really liked the live version of this better, he sang it for his blind audition, this song got popular because of that movie and everyone knows that, but also, even though this is a "cover" it's original singer/writer is unknown, it's an old folk song that people used to sing.

3)"Bring me to Life" by Evanescence... I remember the exact moment I realized this song was written about Jesus. I LOVE this song, it is literally one of my favorite songs of all time. Amy Lee is one the the best singers in the world, and no one, NO ONE (especially not that girl that tries all the time, you know that one that sang with the band for a time.) sings like her. Or on her level. Anyway Amy has said for sure that she wrote this song about herself getting saved by Jesus. For some reason people like to act like that's not true but she wrote it, so she would know. I made a video on youtube ft. Troian Bellisario to tell the story of this song click here to watch.

music piracy... is stealing more than just music, it's stealing hopes and dreams

I cried watching "empire"... yea... Terrence Howard's character says: "I started selling drugs when I was 9 years old, in philadelphia, I did it to feed myself. But it was the music that played in my head that kept me alive when I thought I was going to get shot. And it was the melodies I dreamt about that kept me warm when I was sleeping in the streets...you see? music saved my life. Times have changed though, the internet has destroyed the musicians ability to make money, because our work, is downloaded for free online. Now it's impossible for the disenfranchised kids growing up in the projects to overcome poverty the way that I did" I wanted to stand up and cheer, but people would look at me weird... set there, turn that over in your mind... sure getting free music might not hurt those super famous, already signed and set "rock/rap/pop stars" you see on tv.., the ones with mansions, the ones you think represent musicians all across the boa

Why does God "allow" suffering?

what is suffering? what causes it? well first of all, let's start somewhere near the beginning... "17  And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;" Genesis 3:17 so the earth became cursed because of Adam's sin, all of creation and everyone that was to be born was now punished because of the sin of Adam. This is where suffering comes from...sin. The original sin caused all disease and any other "natural" affliction. But it's the sinfulness of all mankind that causes much more suffering.  Greed is the reason for people starving.  Lust is cause for abortion, which is murder. Hatred is the cause of all sorts of evil deeds. why does God "allow" this? In the old testament He didn't always,  for example when man became o
