new music of the week!

So, I've decided that I will try and introduce some new music every week.

I'll try and make it an artist that isn't too mainstream, and I'll try and change the genre up.

So, this week I wanted to introduce an artist that I found earlier this year.

Her name is Jillian Edwards. She is a student at Baylor University, and is actually on Baylor's Uproar record label.

She has a sweet and dainty voice, when mixed with her original lyrics make for an encouraging and uplifting, light sound. 

Her album: Galaxies and Such is a mix of original songs written by Jillian. 

My personal favorite, is Songbird:

I want to be a songbird

And I want to sit on the tallest branch

Of the tallest tree

And I want to sing lullabies

To Earth as she cries

I really want to try and make her laugh

I want to be a songbird

And I want to watch sunrise

With my love by my side

And I want to grow

And I want to learn 

I want to fire

And I want to burn

I want to rise

And I want to fall

I want to run

And I want to crawl

I want to be a songbird

And I just want to try 

To know how far and deep and wide

This love is that You give

Cause that's what it is to really live

To just try and look around

See You in our breaths

And hear You in our sounds

I want to be a songbird

Go through things that I need

Make me hurt, make me bleed

Cause I will arise and see the light

I'll pray my way through the night

And I want to be a songbird

And I want to sing lullabies

To Earth and she cries

I really want to try and make her laugh

How You made me laugh

You made me laugh

You made me laugh

Take the strings and the things

I use to tie me to the ground

Let them all be gone

I want to be a songbird

I want to be a songbird
