Well, here I am, the lovely Admin Pippin. Just gonna update you on mah life as a music listener, and stuff.

Yeah, surprise surprise... Mumford & Sons.
But what is quite cool is I found a picture of them with my favourite actor xD
Yes, I have seen the Hobbit. I saw it on the 13th, the day it came out in mah country. I wore my green coat, with is like the one Bilbo is wearing in this picture............ this guy sitting by me referred to me as a "Lord Of The Rings Fan". Understatement or what.

I can almost feel you staring at the computer screen like: "If Admin Pippin dares to spoil it or even mention soundtracks I will bite her finger off."
Now, please don't be all like:
"Admin Pippin, give us a break!! All you ever talk about are y' stupid soundtracks"
Now, I would love to give you the version of Over The Misty Mountains Cold that Richard Armitage (Thorin) sings, but I couldn't find a decent version, so I have found you Forth Eorlingas from The Lord Of The Rings - The Two Towers soundtrack.
I would also like to share the epicness that is my five favourite dwarves from the film - 
Thanks for coming, seeeyaaaaaa

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.

One small step....
I've been camping in the middle of nowhere so I only just found out that Neil Armstrong died. I don't know why this effected me so much that I decided to blog about it, but hey.
I've posted it before but I mainly found out about it because of one of the comments, but hey.
Probably posted this too,
I'm gonna post more music in just a minute :)

Aurora
Hey guys, I'm back.
As you know, The Dark Knight Rises was aired on the 20th.
I would like to post a tribute to the victims of the Aurora shooting, and to the friends of families of those who died in the dreadful act.
The first was composed by soundtrack artist Hans Zimmer, who wrote the score for The Dark Knight Rises. The following track isn't my favourite type of music, but it fits the circumstances, and it was brilliant of Hans to write this for the people. What I loved about it is that it's a choral version of some of the Batman soundtrack!!!!!!!!!!!! It's wonderful! Warning: it's over eight minutes long.
Another thing, if you're in the US, you can donate to the Aurora Victim Relief organisation.
You can also buy this on iTunes. All proceeds to the Aurora Victim Relief organisation.
Aurora - Hans Zimmer
And now three pieces of The Dark Knight Rises soundtrack itself.
Nothing Out There
Why Do We Fall?
Rise (warning: this one doesn't begin nice and quiet, but there is a certain part of it that is very fitting. I also thing that the people of Aurora are going to Rise after this fall.) Listen from 0:57 onwards. It's perfect.
Thank you for coping with this serious post.

Twenty Seven Million.... at least.
Hi guys, this is for a change, a very serious post.
Hands up who has heard of slavery.
Hands up who knew that today there were more slaves than ever.
I bet few of you put your hand up for the latter of those.
In fact, there are at least 27 million slaves. Human trafficking is the fastest growing crime.
Here is a video about this, and the A21 Campaign.
The A21 Campaign - Be her freedom
Now, I admit that there isn't much time to do this, but if you have an iTunes or Amazon account, log on now, and download the anti-trafficking single Twenty Seven Million by Matt Redman and LZ7. (99p on iTunes) It is already No.7 most popular on iTunes as I type. This is raising awareness, and supporting the A21 Campaign. Please tell people about this. Some of these slaves could be in your neighborhood. I'm not saying they are, I'm saying that they are even in this country too.
Thanks for reading this, but an even bigger thank you and pat on the back for those who downloaded Twenty Seven Million. It's an awesome track!

Another PHATFISH concert....
I might of already shared one of these, idk but it's worth sharing again.
And Can It Be
Resurrection Life
Both Phatfish, although, the And Can It Be, is their awesome new tune for the old hymn. That's one of the things they do these days. Put new tunes to hymns. It's really good though, because it makes it seem new, so you actually think about the words. I'll send another one sometime :) enjoy!
On Friday, I was at a Phatfish concert.... and the Friday before that..... but yeah, anyway, the song Resurrection life is about the church. It's amazing, but then again, it's Phatfish. It's gotta be awesome!
Hope you have an awesome week, and I'll cya later.

An appology.
Sorry, guys, I said something about saxaphones a few weeks back, and I completely forgot :-/ life's getting pretty hectic.
Recently, I have decided that I like the singy-songs in the LOTR soundtrack. This one nearly makes me cry.
Into The West
Enjoy it :P Oh, and belated new years greetings!

Back to school!
Hey!
Well,we all knew it would come soon,and here it is! Back to school time! Goodbye parties,special dinners,and staying up till midnight!
But is that what Christmas is really about? Eating mince pies till your buttons burst,staying up till 5 in the morning and spending the rest of your day in bed?
You've heard the Christmas tale before
the Christ born on a stable floor
but think again,this Christmas scene,
not all is bliss and sweet serene,
think rusted tools,think grotty shed,
think feeding trough for Jesus' head,
where mice and lice and rats devour
a new-born babe is due this hour.
Some months before in Joseph's town
a messenger from heaven came down
'Your Mary soon will have a son,
the Son of God,the saving one',
Mary saw an angel too,
unmarried,with a baby due?
So Jesus,not yet even born,
is subject to the gossips scorn.
A census now to count all men,
sends our Joseph to Bethlehem.
Poor Mary with her pregnant load
one hundred miles along the road,
and no-one came to help that night,
no natal nurse to numbe the fright,
as waters break and labour starts
the Saviour in a shed imparts.
Sing! angels,from the hill tonight!
Bring sheperds to this holy sight,
Shine,star of wonder,brilliant light,
lead wise men to the child this night!
Now Herod got to hear the news,
'A new-born Christ,King of the Jews?'
So first-born sons were culled that year,
such fear , such blood ,such death ,such tears
But Joseph,bride and child take flight,
they flee to Egypt through the night,
undernourished as they roam,
now refugees and far from home.
For you God gives this Christmas story,
the coming of the King of Glory.
There it is,the Christmas story.
Why am I putting it on now? In January??
Well,for me,every time I hear this story at Christmas,it touches my heart so hard.
And now my new year resolution is, Lets This Story Always Touch Your Heart. Wether it's Christmas or not,always remember the King of kings who was born in a shed to save us from our sins.
Let it always be Christmas in your heart.
