A few months ago I came across this song by Jon Schmidt. I then looked up a few other songs by him, and I was completely amazed. Then I happened to come across his youtube channel. [it's not *just* his channel] And from there, I just kind of kept going. For a while I wanted to stop piano, the music was getting harder and I didn't want to sit down and learn it all. But then I heard this  [by the way, that is my favorite song by him <3] song, and I was kind of like "Ah! I have to keep playing!" So here is one of my favorite video's Jon Schmidt has done. I suggest you listen to it, it's pretty amazing. [He is accompanied by Steven Sharp Nelson in most of his songs.]

                 


                                      And if you have a few minutes, go listen to these..
                                                          Rolling in the deep
                                                            Linus and Lucy
                                                    Michael Meets Mozart <<< [<3]
                                                            To the Summit
                                                              Waterfall  <<< [<3]
                         [I'm trying to decide if I want to do that one for a recital..]
                                                         Christmas Medley
                                                     Where are you Christmas?
                                                            Homecoming 
                                                              Ridin' West
                [this one is hilarious. He wrote it when he was 16 [somewhere around there?]
                               and he was inspired by a Tuna Fish commercial! :D]
                                                                 Dumb Song


                                                     

Clouds (I meant to post this a while ago)

Last Tuesday a tornado hit Oklahoma, destroying many house's (I might post more about that later) Last Saturday there was some amazing wall clouds. I saw them and immediately ran for my camera. Last Sunday the clouds were even more amazing that Saturday, and I didn't have my camera with me, I thought about bringing it, but decided not to. I should have.. I was a little disappointed because I didn't have a great view of them, I had to make do standing in the middle of our yard. I think they turned out pretty good, the last one is my favorite.

Which do you like best?

Indescribable

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Yes the video is almost eight minutes long. But take eight minutes to watch this unbelievable video. When I first watched it, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. I was amazed.
