Ben Cantelon

Earlier this year my oldest brother gave my youngest brother (who is still older than me :( ) a CD by this dude called Ben Cantelon called Everything in Colour. I liked it, but I wasn't ecstatic about it. Recently I listened to it again, and man it's awesome. The lyrics are amazing!! Ben's voice is in the right range for me to sing it!! I hadn't heard of him until this year, and it turns out I know a fair few of his songs anyway. Songs like Saviour of the World and he co-wrote Tim Hughes' Happy Day. He released Everything in Colour earlier this year. Here are my two favourite tracks from the album:

Everything in Colour

Guardian

Thanks :) Check those songs out.

Cue epic rant

You guys may or may not know that I was at a MASSIVE youth camp this year, which for kindness reasons will be left unnamed.

The music was awesome while we there there. Really really amazing. The whole camp was awesome!!

This camp is so enormous they release a CD of some of the songs they had. I was really looking forward to listening to it and reliving the camp (well, not exactly reliving, more remembering). We turned it on, and we could instantly tell something was wrong.

The editing.

The editing was awful. So awful it could make an amazing natural voice sound so fake. It didn't sound live!

The American worship leader was worst off. His voice was amazing there. He sounds nothing like he actually does on the CD.

At least the keyboard player with probably the most impressive voice (he sounds sooooo amazing!! O.O) was exactly as he sounded, but everyone else...

Sorry I've been gone awhile,

To make up for it I've brother something to make you smile.
To smile at the music you hear,
From your speakers (or headphones) into your ear.

I've been away on holiday for a week in Yorkshire,
In Draughton, Skipton's solitary corner.
Whilst there we saw the Bond film Skyfall,
Which is a great film, you must watch it all.

Here are some Bond things I shall share,
I'm sure you hear Adele everywhere.
I didn't like her until the other day,
So this is what I have to say.

Click the link to hear Skyfall,
You must listen to it all.
Adele sings it very well indeed,
And in the charts it really takes the lead.

There are other songs I want to share.
Of Mumford & Sons are you aware?
I've been listening to them recently,
And I really really like them you see.

The first "M&S" song I like is "The Cave",
The lyrics are strange and a little bit grave.
The second is called "Babel",
I give both songs a quality label.

A song by Jason Mraz to end this post.
Of all his songs, I think I like this one the most.
It's called "The Remedy."
I feel another post coming - I'll do it when I'm ready.

Greetings from me, your friend Pippin.

Farewell.
