Moving Forward

So, one of my favorite artists has always been Israel Houghton from Israel and New Breed. Well recently (and by that I mean like 4 months ago) he came out with a solo album titled "The Power of One." Mos def one of my favorite cds by him so far. My absolute faaaavorite song on this project is "Moving Forward". Below I included 2 different versions. I was trying to decide today which version I like better (they're very very similar but one is him playing to a track and the other is real chill/ more acoustic .) You can decide which one you like best and let me know.

Anyway, what i learned today ( besides how to embed youtube videos in this blog) is word for word what Israel sings in this song:

Version 1:



Version 2:



Ain't no point in looking backwards. Past disappointments, relationships, struggles, failures, insecurities; etc, have passed away. There's a plan for my life that I will accomplish only by moving forwards. As Kirk Franklin put it at the gospel fest "bye bye bye bye bye..." ( i love kirk, he decided to rewrite the "na na na na" part at the end of imaginge me and replace those sounds with real words. i kinda always wondered why we were singin nonsense sounds to begin with, lol.)
