Today's Video Share: "Have You Ever Heard the Good News?" by Michelle

My name is Michelle and I wrote “Have You Ever Heard the Good News?” I wrote this song after having a dream in October 2019 about writing a salvation song for the radio. The dream gave me three words in all capital letters, “RADIO. PRECEDENCE. SALVATION.” It impressed upon me that my songs about my life experiences were fine, but what was more important and had to come first was a song about salvation. So I started writing the lyrics for the good news of salvation and putting the song to acoustic guitar. Then, I had a second dream where I heard the song playing with myself singing, a crowd singing, an orchestra of music, and an all black female choir. I felt this dream was instructions for how to produce the song, so when I woke up, I wrote the whole dream down. At the time, I didn’t have the resources to produce the song, but recently, I did have the resources and felt God telling me that now was the time to release the song. The song can be downloaded for FREE at my website www.moldtheheart.com/good-news or downloaded/streamed on major digital music platforms.

Today's Video Share: "Let Go" by A New Violet

A New Violet's "Let Go" brings big melodies and even bigger energy, as the new video for ‘Let Go’ plies viewers with nostalgia. When vocalist Beth Vandal enters, you might think you’re hearing the second-coming of Paramore; she’s got the pipes, the attitude and knack for melody down. She attacks the chorus with pop savvy without losing any of the anger and power that makes pop-punk so invigorating.

This track, Let Go, from their newly released EP The Heat is Getting Hotter, exudes that feeling when you’re fired up after keeping everything in for too long.

Today's Video Share: "Will You Go Walking?" by Laura Mustard

Laura Mustard channels her love of nature and her fierce belief in body positivity and self acceptance into music that will help you make friends with yourself. Her childhood was filled with hospital visits and medical routines at home, and she grew up making up stories in her head as a way to distract from her day-to-day medical care that easily morphed into writing songs in high school. Influenced by the poetry of Walt Whitman and Mary Oliver, singer-songwriters like Gavin DeGraw and Jason Mraz, and a healthy amount of Motown and bluegrass, Laura weaves together a fresh sound that uplifts and gets you moving.

“Will You Go Walking?” is a departure from her typical pop/Motown infused writing. This song is sparse in lyrics and lets the instrumentation of the banjo, fiddle and mandolin dance and shine. It is a folk song that mixes nature descriptions reminiscent of Mary Oliver’s poetry with the Celtic folk of the Irish countryside. It’s an outlier on Laura's new Dirty Minds & Wild Hearts EP and stands out for its simple arrangement of jaunty melodies that leads with a piano riff as Mustard sings about her favorite places: a path by the river and a trail by the railroad. She builds more imagery throughout the song while asking a new love, “Will you go walking with me?” that builds to a round of vocal parts and instrumental melodies at the end of the song. “Will You Go Walking?” also features a music video that is made from home videos across several months of Laura hiking on her favorite trails in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Tennessee. This video also features her dog, Stella as her hiking companion.

Today's Video Share: "Invest" by Kate Dineen

Kate is an indie singer-songwriter who grew up in Kerry, a small rural village on the south-western coast, and now resides in Dublin. Kate was surrounded by music from a young age and would often sit in the back seat of her family's car and read her father’s CD insert sleeves front to back so that she could memorize the lyrics. At age 14 Kate started learning guitar, learning her favorite songs, which she cites as a freeing experience. Then, at 16, as a shy teenager, she decided to challenge herself and sign up for vocal lessons. Kate immediately felt connected to the voice as an instrument that she could control.
“Invest” is about meeting someone for the first time, having a drink, getting to know them, but not wanting to give too much of yourself away too early because you want to be happy with yourself before you dive into something new. The song describes the feeling of meeting someone for the first time, how it can be really exciting, and how you start to imagine all these wonderful things about them. But maybe if you’ve been burned before you’re not as keen to jump straight in. In Kate’s words, “I’ve always been a big believer in knowing what makes you happy and staying true to you in any relationship. This is the song version of that, to know who you are and to make sure you are happy in yourself before you dive into something new.”

Today's Video Share: "Five Minutes" by Marcy Brenner and Lou Castro

This is the first love song COYOTE wrote together, about the evening they fell in love. Marcy got back from Paris (bucket list) and found Louie's number in her backpack. They got together and there was a musical spark, and the next night there was a different kind of spark. Marcy had to tell him that her life expectancy was short, having just survived treatment for advanced breast cancer. What he said in the moment inspired the lyrics, and the beautiful chords from Louie.

Today's Video Share: "You Are" by Julie Kinscheck

“You Are” is my love song to God, but it was born out of struggle. “You Are” shares so many of God’s marvelous attributes- mercy, forgiveness, power, wisdom… but also places we see God- music, laughter- but when I wrote the song I was finding gratitude after infertility, chronic illness, and loss.”

Julie Kinscheck is a singer/ Songwriter/ Guitarist, Voice Professor, Author & Worship Leader.

Today's Video Share: "Pink Flamingo" by Beverley Kitty Green

Pink Flamingo was mostly filmed in Las Vegas over lockdown, with musician friends helping with filming. At the time I lived in a house previously owned by soul legend Gladys Knight, purchased by Broadway performer Ruby Lewis who also features in the video. It’s the story of the craziness and uncertainty of lockdown and how a house full of singers and musicians supported each other when there were little or no performance opportunities. I’d arrived in Vegas from the UK initially for a month but stayed on as all my music and teaching work was cancelled due to covid.

Today's Video Share: "I Made A Case" by Rachael Jones feat. Howard Jones

Alt-folk-pop singer-songwriter Rachael Sage has released an artful video for "I Made A Case" from her new 15-track full length studio album, The Other Side. Featuring legendary UK hitmaker (and Sage’s frequent touring mate) Howard Jones on duet vocals, and a Bacharach-esque orchestral arrangement, the poignant ballad captures the age-old dilemma of would-be lovers meeting at the wrong time. Sage enthuses: "It was an enormous honor to have Howard Jones involved in recording the duet version, and he couldn’t have been any more encouraging or positive throughout the process! I’m still pinching myself that one of my very favorite artists and humans agreed to collaborate with me on such a delicate ballad – and was so protective of the song, as well." Throughout the song Jones & Sage have beautiful vocal chemistry, and heartbreak never sounded so sweet. For more information about Rachael Sage, please visit her website at: http://rachaelsage.com/
