BarlowGirl — 🎶 Never Alone 🎶 Beautiful Ending…
Before the charts and the stages, there were just three sisters, a living room, and a faith that needed a voice — growing up in Elgin, Illinois.
BarlowGirl — Rebecca, Alyssa, and Lauren — grew up making music the way most people learn conversation: naturally, together. They started in churches and youth events, not chasing careers, just serving with what they had.
What set them apart was unity — three voices, one heart — and the fact that they’re great musicians who truly rock. Drums, bass, guitars, keys, harmonies… real grit, real skill, real sound — not just message.
When they stepped onto bigger stages, they never lost that core.
No image games. No shortcuts. Just faith, honesty, and rock-solid music.
If you’re new to BarlowGirl, you’re not discovering a band —
you’re meeting a family who turned worship into rock and conviction into legacy.
I’ve got two live acoustic studio versions of these songs for you today…
🎵 Never Alone (2004) — BarlowGirl
🎵 Beautiful Ending (2009) — Love & War
I hope you have a blessed Sunday.

Sidewalk Prophets 🎶 The Words I Would Say 🎶 Live Like That…
One of the coolest things about Sidewalk Prophets is how much of their story was shaped by other people. Early on, a demo they recorded was submitted to a contest without their knowledge — and they won. That surprise moment opened doors they never planned for. Years later, they kept that same spirit of community by inviting fans to help shape the Live Like That album itself, using fan-submitted photos for the cover and even letting fans sing background vocals. From the start, their music has never been just theirs — it’s always been shared…
Here’s two more great ones from them…
🎵 “The Words I Would Say” — from These Simple Truths (2009)
🎵 “Live Like That” — from Live Like That (2012)
I pray yall have a super blessed Sunday… enjoy the music and the message…
James 1:22 (NIV)
Do not merely listen to the Word… and so deceive yourselves… Do what it says…1 John 3:18 (NIV)
Dear children… let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth…Was I love… when no one else would show up…?

Sidewalk Prophets 🎶 You Love Me Anyway 🎶 Keep Making Me…
Some bands don’t start on stages…
they start in small rooms… borrowed amps… quiet prayers… and long drives…
Sidewalk Prophets began in 2003 on a college campus in Indiana… just a few friends writing songs about faith doubt and grace while playing worship nights and whatever doors opened…
They toured in vans… played churches and coffee shops… and learned how to carry songs into real lives before anyone was listening…
That slow road mattered… because when their music finally reached the wider world… it already knew how to sit with people…
Two songs from that journey still hit me deep…
and honestly… I think these are two of the greatest Christian songs ever…
I know… that’s saying a lot…
hey… it’s just my opinion… 😁
🎶 You Love Me Anyway
(These Simple Truths 2009 — single 2011)
🎶 Keep Making Me
(Live Like That 2012)
I hope yall enjoy… thank you for your time… have a blessed Sunday…

Big Daddy Weave 🎶 I’ve Just Seen Too Much 🎶 Redeemed…
Hey yall… happy happy Sunday…
So I’m sticking with Big Daddy Weave a little longer — I’ve got two more good ones for you today…
🎵 I’ve Just Seen Too Much
Album: Let It Begin
Release Year: 2o25
🎵 Redeemed
Album: Love Come to Life
Release Year: 2o12
As a former worship leader I’ve performed many of their songs over the years… so I’ve been blessed to see firsthand how different songs affect people in different seasons of life…
One of the most powerful songs I’ve ever witnessed in that way… is Redeemed…
There’s just something about it…
I used to perform it often for the residents at a psychiatric hospital — people at rock bottom… battling depression… anxiety… addiction… lost and hurting…
And every time… it brought tears…
It brought healing…
It’s powerful…
It meets you exactly where you are…
I hope you enjoy… thank you for listening…

For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave His One and only begotten Son so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish but have eternal life…John 3:17 (AMP)
For God did not send the Son into the world to judge and condemn the world that is to initiate the final judgment of the world but that the world might be saved through Him…© 2026 Bryan H. All Rights Reserved.
Tonic 🎶 Head On Straight 🎶 Lemon Parade…
Hey yall… so I have two more great songs from Tonic for you…
“Head on Straight”
• Album: Head on Straight
• Year: 2o02
“Lemon Parade”
• Album: Lemon Parade
• Year: 1996
And here’s some cool facts about the band…
• The name “Tonic” comes from music theory — the tonic is the home note of a scale.. They chose it because they wanted their songs to feel grounded.. centered.. and real…
• “If You Could Only See” became one of the most-played rock songs of the late ’90s.. but the band actually thought deeper tracks like “Lemon Parade” better represented who they really were…
• Emerson Hart (lead singer) wrote many of their songs while dealing with personal struggles — addiction.. recovery.. and relationships — which is why their lyrics hit with that raw… honest edge….
• They turned down being over-polished… Labels wanted them slicker… but Tonic pushed to keep their sound emotional and imperfect — part of why they connect so well with listeners who love real feeling over radio gloss…
• They reunited after a long break because fans never stopped asking for them — and when they came back… they kept the same heart instead of chasing modern trends…
I hope you enjoy 😉 `.°~

Big Daddy Weave 🎶 Overwhelmed 🎶 My Story…
Hey yall… happy Sunday… I have two more for you from Big Daddy Weave…
My Story… released 2o15… from the album Beautiful Offerings….
Overwhelmed… released 2o12… from the album Love Come to Life…
I found this out about them and thought it was so cool…
Pre-show ritual
Before every concert.. the band has a quiet devotional time together.. then they literally walk through the venue and touch every seat.. praying for the specific person who will sit there that night
After shows.. instead of disappearing backstage.. they routinely stay for an hour or more to pray individually with people.. making them some of the last to leave the building
Press play and enjoy… 😎 `.°~
I see the work of Your hands…
Galaxies spin… in a Heavenly dance… oh God… All that You are… is so overwhelming…If I told you my story… you would hear Love… that never gave up…
