Surprising CD

Sometimes its good to just be quiet and rest.

I haven't realized how much I needed this, until a good friend turned me on to this album.


Fernando Ortega

The Shadow of Your Wings

What an experience of just basking in something bigger than yourself. What's more impressive is that this "bigness" is achieved with just his voice, a piano, and a string quartet.

In its simplicity you'll find freedom in the classic lyrics, beautiful melodies, and perfect arrangements.

This cd really brought me to a place of contemplation and reflection. I've let it play through about 8 times today.

How about you? What have you been listening to? What brings you to a similar place?

I am a big Ortega fan. For a few months I would listen to his version of "Give me Jesus" every morning. I've been listen to Ben Harper's "Waiting on an Angel" every day since I found out we were pregnant.

i was waiting on an angel, then i met you, Luke.

That's a good song, and i'm glad you have a special thing to remind you of what's ahead. I can't wait to meet your little angel.
