Hidden Gems From The B-Side.. Life Side (Week 9)

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 😉 `.°~

Hidden Gems From The B-Side.. Faith Side (Week 8)

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…

Big Daddy Weave 🎶 Revive Us Again 🎶 What Life Would Be Like…

Hey y’all… happy Sunday… it’s good to be here with you… it’s good to be alive…

Today’s Hidden Gems come from Big Daddy Weave… both songs off the album What Life Would Be Like 2o08…

First is “Revive Us Again.”
An old hymn… a living prayer… and one that holds a special place in my story… I used to play this one on my guitar at a nursing home… surrounded by friends… surrounded by voices… surrounded by hope… those were good times..

Second is the title track “What Would Life Be Like…”All the songs on this album are special to me… they are from my ministry days… with my friends… with Beavis… with myself… I spent much time learning this album on my guitar… praising… worshipping… my King…

I also included a bonus video of Mike Weaver sharing a short story about his friend being healed of cancer… it’s beautiful and worth the watch…

So press play… take it in… life is short… and oh so beautiful… 😎’

…….🤔→🌱→🌍✨→✝💓→↔️👫’…….❤️❤️❤️→🔥🔥🔥→💓🔥💓→🌌→🕊→✨→🙏’

All our hearts… they burn within us…
All our lives… we’ve longed for more…

“You make known to me the path of life… in Your presence… there is fullness of joy…” Psalm 16:11 💥

Hey y’all… welcome…
So we’ve got two songs today — and as a bonus.. a live cut too… that’s always a good day 😎

This entire record affected me deeply… it moved me.. I spent hours alone in my room back then.. learning all these songs on my guitar… great times..

Also… the lead singer of Our Lady Peace has one of the most unique voices — and names — in music…
His name is Raine Maida… pronounced Rain 🌧 MAY-duh…

So anyways… here ya go…

Hidden Gems Is More Than Music 💎👀

Most people think Hidden Gems From The B-Side is just a music series
And yes… it is
But it’s also much deeper than that
It’s how I’ve learned to see the world

I’ve always been drawn to what’s overlooked
The quiet songs
The forgotten roads
The voices that never make the charts but carry the most weight
While the world chases what’s loud fast and trending…
I find myself searching for what’s hidden unpopular and unknown
Not because it’s obscure
But because it’s honest
And it means something to me…

In every area of life I’ve become this way…
No matter what it is…
I’m always searching and digging for hidden beauty…
I don’t ride the norm wagons…
If I can help it…

I’m this way with people too…
However… I love everyone 😁…
But the popular prom queen cheerleader girl…
You can have her 😆…
I’m not about that life…
I’m coming for the quiet shy thing in the corner…
The one who doesn’t even realize how beautiful she is…

Sorry not sorry 😆…
That’s just how I roll… 😎`.°-

…….b~→u?→=/\=→n?→<3=1′

So yall see me post rock type music all the time along with my Christian stuff.. but my roots are also with like RnB and rap too.. I run the gamut… so here’s the other side of me 🤓

Hidden Gems From The B-Side – Faith Side (Week 4)

Kutless 🎶 All The Words 🎶 Shut Me Out…

Hey yall… Happy Sunday..
These next guys are one of my all-time favorites.. So many great songs.. So much depth.. They can rock hard or be gentle on the ears—and they do both beautifully…

They’re from Portland.. Oregon.. formed in 1999.. and started as a campus worship band..

They’re known as Kutless… and yeah—they’re bad#ss for Jesus 😎😁

I’ve got two songs for you today..
“All The Words” and “Shut Me Out..”

I didn’t even realize this until now.. but both of these songs pretty much describe my blog.. Even my tagline comes straight from the lyrics of “All The Words…”
And fun fact—that song was featured on an episode of Scrubs back in the day…

Alright… I’m done talking now 😄
Just listen and enjoy…
And I truly appreciate yall so much..
tyty… 😎`.°- thinking of yall today…
