Music Monday: the Passenger Phase

Guys.

I have been working on a chapel message I'm giving on Wednesday and naturally have writer's block. Like any good writer, I've been procrastinating looking up good music to keep me motivated. My taste is music is super random: I started with some Glee music, moved on to Rend Collective Band, and I later stumbled on "Let Her Go" by Passenger and recalled how lovely I always thought it was when it came on the radio.

That led to a few other Passenger songs...and getting wrapped up in the beautiful harmonies...and then to today's gem.

I love music that touches me to the heart
stopping me in my tracks
consuming my attention
the kind that is so lovely it makes a lump in my throat
and mist in my eyes
because it is just so absolutely  b  e  a  u  t  i f  u  l

I also happen enjoy the band Chicago because their music is good, but it also has some sentimental value. It's part of the music that takes me back to vividly happy memories...of the actual city of Chicago, wonderful friends, and some awesome times of the past. Yup, some Chicago songs would make it onto the soundtrack of my life.

So without further adieu I present "Hard To Say I'm Sorry"...originally by Chicago but covered here by Passenger. Seriously -- just try to tell me it's not lovely.
