Cormac Thompson - True Colours (CCM)


'True Colours' by Cormac Thompson is a breathtaking cover of Cyndi Lauper's 80s classic that is guaranteed to leave you in awe. At just 13 years old, Cormac has been a seasoned singer since he was a young boy. His debut album, Hear My Voice, which was released by Decca Records, was met with much praise when he was just 11 years old. Since then, Cormac's treble voice has earned him numerous accolades, including a solo performance at the Royal Albert Hall, a place in the final of Young Chorister of the Year, and an appearance on Britain's Got Talent.

Cormac Thompson - True ColoursThis recording of 'True Colours' showcases Cormac's musical abilities as he accompanies himself on the piano (keyboard for the actual recording). He has kept the arrangement simple, with just a few pads to bind everything together, and added a unique blend of his younger treble voice with his lower voice on the last note, 'Rainbow'. This innovative approach was inspired by Cormac's voice changing between learning the song and recording it.

The lyrics of 'True Colours' are a beautiful reminder of love and acceptance. The song encourages the listener to not be afraid to show their true colors, as they are beautiful just like a rainbow. It serves as a message of hope and comfort, reminding us that even in a world full of people, we are never alone, and someone will always be there to see our true colors shining through.

'True Colours' by Cormac Thompson is a must-listen for anyone looking for a heartfelt and moving song. With his soulful voice and emotional performance, Cormac brings the song to life and leaves a lasting impression on the listener. So don't hesitate, give it a listen and be transported to a world of beauty and love.

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...
