"Beautiful Heartbreak" By Hilary Weeks

DeleteCan you check this one? (already in the list) Jar of Hearts – Christina Perri (equate the guy with addiction)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what you mean by "check it?" - I did look at it and it's working?
DeleteHey I just watched a video on youtube called Broken by Kenneth Cope and bawled and bawled. It's up on my site or you can check it out to add to your list. IT's amazing!!!
ReplyDelete"His Hands" By Kenneth Cope
ReplyDeleteCause His Hands clean us
Ok This is what I want you to do!!! Go to Grooveshark.com and sign up for a free account. It's just a free streaming mp3 website. I have a few playlists that I have made with LDS music, my favorites, one for my kids, etc. I JUST discovered that you can share your playlists via "embed". You can copy the html and import it into your BLOGGER template under the "Layout" option. Add a gadget on the right side of your website, and choose the HTML gadget. Paste the HTML you got from Grooveshark, and your playlist will show up in a little player on your website for all to choose songs and listen to. Just a suggestion. I did it on MY blogger website to test it out, and it does work. That way, when you update your playlist, the playlist is updated. I am guessing you SHOULD be able to find most of these songs on there. Maybe not, but I just thought I would offer a suggestion...
ReplyDeleteThanks John. I appreciate the suggestion!
DeleteAbsolutely LOVING working my way through the list :)
ReplyDeleteGentle saviour -Daniel beck is one I completely love :) thank you for everything you do :)

ReplyDeleteLet Him Heal Your Heart by Tyler Castleton. This song is my all-time favorite and has helped me in my recovery so much! So if you're still adding to your wonderful list, I would suggest you add this one to it! Thanks!
