Bigger than my imagination

These few days can be summed up in one word: revamp.

I took somebody's advice and decided to finally reformat my laptop. For me, it is the worst possible nightmare for me, that's why I've been finding excuses to not reformat. Reformatting means reinstalling every single program and rearranging my (thousands of) songs into playlists, and that's what terrifies me. A LOT.

The process started before midnight, and not surprisingly my eyes were still glued to the laptop by 4am, installing appropriate programs and doing what other people couldn't even be bothered about. It's all about organisation; that's why people find it annoying when I point out that his/her music library is not organised well, for example if the album info was missing.

Introducing another artist worth mentioning: Michael Gungor.

If you like Chris Tomlin's songs, it's a safe bet to say that you'll enjoy Michael's album Bigger than My Imagination. Though guitar isn't my favourite instrument, I'd have to say that he has one of the best acoustic guitar-playing skills that I've ever heard. He does harmonics like nobody's business, and makes everything sound so effortless. Every single track on his album is beautiful in its own way, a few of my favourites are "Move Me", "It's Your Love" and "Doxology". The last song is a pure guitar instrumental, and I love the way how the song is sort of telling a story itself, without the input of any lyrics at all.

and another one...

IT'S YOUR LOVE
Michael Gungor

It's like the air I breathe
It's so easy
To forget about it
Not so easy to live without it
It's like the beating of my heart
Easy to overlook
But life doesn't mean so much
Without it

I can't help it
I just keep thinking about it

It's Your love pouring like the rain
It's Your love bringing a change in me
Causing my eyes to see more of Your love

It's like the land that stays
In the middle of a hurricane
While the rest of the world
Is flying
It is the only thing
More faithful than the light
Rising from the east
Every morning

It's Your love
And it's pouring like the rain
It's Your love Lord
Bringing a change in me
Causing my eyes to see more of Your love
