Usually when I hear a song on the radio I like I will buy it on iTunes for my iPod. Sometimes I will listen to some clips of other songs by the artist/group and decide if I just want to go ahead and buy the whole album. I have this bad habit of buying a CD and then ONLY listening to the song that I bought it for. Most recently I have bought the new Jeremy Camp CD (only listen to 2 songs I know on it), Switchfoot "The Best Yet," and Above the Golden State. Well, since I have 600 Christian songs on my iPod; that's right 600!!! It is hard to hear them all and I have a really bad habit of flipping through the songs like crazy. I can tell immediately if I want to hear a song. I am sure that there are songs on there that I have never, ever heard before. I have the songs on shuffle so it randomly goes through them.
Several weeks ago I finally put my iPod on Switchfoot and gave them a try. I love their song, "This is Home," from the movie Prince Caspian; so Jon bought me their greatest hits album. Anyway, I gave them a try and LOVE the entire CD. Who knew? I have had it since Christmas and just now like it. Well, even worse than that...we bought a CD on iTunes back in September or so. It was a group called Above the Golden State. I heard their song "Sound of Your Name" on our local Christian station and loved it!! I had never even heard of them before. So, I went home that day and listened to a couple of clips and then bought the whole album, never even listening to the other songs until last week.
So, like I said my habit is flipping through songs like crazy, I have to be in a certain mood to hear certain songs. If I don't know the song or the title too bad, it gets flipped through. Last week I was in the car and not really paying attention to my iPod and then I heard a song I had never heard before. It was "Comeback" by Above the Golden State. I really liked it and told Jon about it. He had never heard it either. Like I said with 600 songs it is hard to hear them all. So, later that day when we went out we put it on Above the Golden State and listened to their album for the first time. I have got to say, they are my new favorite. I really like the whole album, they are upbeat but get a good message across. So, give them a listen. I think you will really like them. It took me months to listen to them and now I am listening to them nonstop!!!
