Crashing Again (or Staircase Serenade)
Maybe someone should start a blog recording every time someone records U2 performing “Every Breaking Wave.” It’s a great song that captures something vital about the human experience that showcases the musical and vocal talents of the band well. And … Continue reading

Easter Song
Okay. I have to admit that I haven’t listened to this song just yet. Saving it for the early hours of Easter Sunday. It’s from Andrew Peterson’s Resurrection Letters Volume One.
