Street Musician's Beautiful Cover of Tina Turner’s Hit ‘The Best’

We all remember Tina’s fiery version—an anthem that burns like a thunderstorm. But when Sarah sang it, the song changed. Her voice softened the storm into a steady flame, glowing low but steady, like a candle that keeps burning through the night. 

It was the same song, the same words, but it carried tenderness. Take a listen to this street musician’s beautiful cover of Tina Turn’s hit, ‘The Best.’ It will stop you in your tracks and breathe fresh air into your soul. 

And it made me think: isn’t that how God works with us?

The world often shouts, demanding power, recognition, and noise. But God whispers. He takes what we think must be big and makes it small and sacred. He turns the thunder of our striving into a quiet flame of His presence. His love doesn’t need to shout to be strong—it holds steady through the long nights, burning faithfully when we need it most.

I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire

You come to me, come to me wild and wild

When you come to me

Give me everything I need

Hearing Sarah’s voice on that street corner was a reminder: the greatest love song is the one God sings over us. It’s steady. It’s tender. It’s better than all the rest. What I love most is watching her sing. She doesn’t come to us in fancy, frilly outfits. 

She comes to us with simplicity. She’s dressed in a tank top and sweatpants. It’s almost like she needed to get out of her house, get a breath of fresh air, and to connect with the world. We all feel that way sometimes and music is the language that no matter where we are in life, it’s the lifeline that connects us. 

Friend, maybe today you’re weary of the noise of life. Maybe you feel small or unseen. Let this remind you: you are God’s beloved, His chosen, His “best.” His song over you never stops, and His love will outlast every storm.

Zephaniah 3:17  “He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”

Young Woman’s Version of ‘Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head’ Is Delightful

A young woman's version of the classic "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" is delightful. The musically gifted youngster demonstrates her aptitude for creating beautiful music as she performs the tune that is near and dear to the hearts of many. Watch the short but enjoyable clip to listen to her sweet rendition of "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head."

Musicians performing covers is a practice and a tradition that is here to stay. It's likely something that has been done since the invention of music and sound itself. Some people may not enjoy covers, but they are sure to be in the minority. How else do you explain cover bands and the plethora of covers that have been produced over the years?

While musical covers are going nowhere anytime soon. They are still tricky to do correctly. People do not want covers to ruin and wreck the original. Do that, and the musicians are likely to find themselves being chased by an angry mob. However, they should also be different enough from the original to validate the cover's reason for existing. Also, do that while not being too different from the version everyone knows and loves. See what I mean, it's a delicate balance, for sure.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a young woman does precisely that with her cover of B.J. Thomas' classic "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head." Her rendition of the 1969 tune is utterly delightful. Even those who are big fans of the original will still find something to enjoy in her version. It's such an enjoyable, easy-listening song with lyrics that quickly get stuck in your head.

"But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me, it won't be long
Til happiness steps up to greet me"

How can you not at least hum and tap your foot along to that song? It's nearly impossible not to do so.

Colossians 3:16 "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."

Stunning A Cappella Version of ‘Keep on the Sunny Side’

September in The Park recently released a stunning cover of The Eagles’ classic ‘Take It Easy.’ The cover does sweet justice to The Eagles’ original song. Play the video to hear the awesome country folk tune. 

With a lead singer, three backup vocals, and seven members playing instruments, it’s an all-around excellent cover. The band has the tune down pat. They are very practiced, and the lead singer has the perfect voice to cover this kind of Eagles song. The band’s cover stays faithful to the song’s spirit but adds a nostalgic, organic feeling. 

Eagles fans will appreciate the care that the band pours into their performance. They’ve got obvious chemistry, and you can hear it in the riff of the guitar, the vocals, and the beat of the drums. They show that this song will never get old. And even if you’ve never heard this song, this cover is still worth listening to. 

Singer-songwriter Jackson Browne began writing, ‘Take It Easy’ as a traveling tune in 1971. Glenn Frey, The Eagles’ co-lead singer and guitarist who shared an apartment with Jackson, heard Jackson working on the song in the basement below him and helped him finish the song. ‘Take It Easy’ became The Eagles' first big hit in the following year, in 1972. 

The song is about keeping things light and not letting problems get the best of you. Some of the encouraging lyrics are: 

Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand

This new cover is a great reminder to just “take it easy,” and take a slow breath and remember that everything isn’t as big a problem as it seems.

This Young Woman’s ‘Mamma Mia’ Cover Will Have You Singing Along

This young woman’s ‘Mamma Mia’ cover will have you singing along and smiling. The little 9-year-old is absolutely endearing as she sings and plays piano. Watch the clip to see her lovely performance. 

Young Hiromi is truly talented. She quickly moves her fingers over the piano keys and sings in time with the music like a pro. The song she picked is a fun one—it’s from the musical and movie “Mamma Mia” and is sung by ABBA. It has an upbeat sound that’s perfect to dance to. Some of the lyrics are: 

Mamma mia, here I go again
My, my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My, my, just how much I've missed you?

Hiromi’s voice is beautiful and has a perfect pitch. It’s pleasantly surprising to see a child so young perform so well. It is obvious that she is very gifted and has a bright future in music. With her clear talent and dedication, she’s going somewhere special. The young girl is an inspiration to others—if a 9-year-old can be this disciplined in a skill like this, then so can you if you put in the effort and follow your passion. 

Hiromi is as good as or better than many adult musicians, and her charm and emotion are almost tangible through the screen. The lightness of the cover is contagious. You can’t help but hum or tap to the beat as you hear Hiromi perform. Long after you hear this melody, you’ll be singing, “Mamma Mia…” 

Whether you love ABBA, young talent, or just enjoy a good performance, this cover is bound to have you singing along. If you haven’t had a reason to smile yet today, I hope this performance brings one to your face and fills your heart with warmth and joy.

Pharrell’s ‘Happy’ Gets Family Band Cover

Pharrell’s ‘Happy’ gets a family band cover, and it sounds almost better than the original song. The Martin Family Circus, also known as Rockland Road, are talented professionals who really know how to keep a beat. Watch the video to hear the fun performance.

A young girl, one of the youngest Martins in the six-member band, takes the mic as she leads her family in song in a room full of people. As she sings, her family harmonizes at different intervals. Her brother and dad play acoustic guitars, and her mom offers some well-timed claps to the lively beat. 

It’s such a fun song to see a family sing together; the whole family does an astounding job. They are very practiced and know how to use each of their skills to sound great together. They couldn’t have picked a more lively or better-suited song for them. Some of the lyrics of Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” are:

Sunshine she's here, you can take a break
I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don't care baby by the way
Because I'm happy (happy)

If you’ve ever seen this song covered, you’ll know that it takes a lot of skill. This may easily be the best cover of this song that you’ll ever see. Everyone, including the young children in the group, knows their parts down to a T. Each of their talents comes together to make a truly impressive piece of music, and they seem to enjoy performing together. When they finished their song, many people whooped and hollered, with lots of clapping. 

The song they chose is an excellent reminder that happiness is a choice. Sometimes it doesn’t matter if other people or things try to burst your bubble—you can choose to stay afloat and not let anything get you down. If you’ve got that happy feeling, stick with it.
 

Duo’s Fantastic Cover of The Beatles’ ‘We Can Work It Out’

You don’t want to miss this duo’s fantastic cover of The Beatles’ ‘We Can Work It Out’ by The Darzis. It sounds peppy and vibrant, and does justice to the timeless Beatles’ classic. Play the clip to hear the wonderful duet.

The Darzis do an incredible job of covering ‘We Can Work It Out.’ They sing it in the same style and tones as The Beatles, with an acoustic and electric guitar. It’s very refreshing to see a couple sing this, as the song is about listening to each other and working out problems, because time is short. Some of the classic 1965 hits’ lyrics are: 

We can work it out
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting my friend
I have always thought, that it's a crime

The couple displays a lot of chemistry as they sing together. Just as the song says, they “work” together to create something and collaborate with their instruments and harmonization. They are well-practiced and very in tune with one another, down to their red-colored tank tops. Their performance is entertaining and pleasing to the ears, but it’s also almost motivational. 

‘We Can Work It Out’ carries a rare and wonderful message. It’s uncommon in our modern times to hear a song about reconciliation; there are many more breakup songs than there are ones like this. The song is a testament that love, listening, forgiveness, and grace can make a relationship work.

It’s been many decades since The Beatles released this track, but its message still rings true. If you’re having a hard time bridging things with a loved one, you can just listen to this song to be encouraged. 

“If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men.” Romans 12:18

Charity Lockhart Stuns on AGT with ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’ Performance

Charity Lockhart stunned on America's Got Talent with her "Can't Help Falling in Love" performance. The singer showed off her stunning musical talent, dazzling with a rendition of the Elvis Presley classic. Watch the short but jaw-dropping clip to listen to and see Charity perform "Can't Help Falling in Love" on the America's Got Talent stage.

Despite being on for decades, shows like American Idol, The Voice and America's Got Talent continue to draw sizable audiences week after week. That has to be the case because if shows don't perform up to the lofty standards set by television executives or aren't bringing enough ad revenue, they don't last long.

One big reason for those programs' continued success is that people love watching others succeed and soar, especially when it's someone who may not have had that chance before. It doesn't matter what their talent might be – singing, dancing, ventriloquism or stand-up comedy – seeing others do well and shine makes many people smile.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Charity most certainly shines with her outstanding cover performance of "Can't Help Falling in Love." Now, with a song as beloved and well-known as an Elvis tune, singing a carbon copy of the original will not cut it. People have heard that one and are entirely too familiar with it. However, even though people know the song well, they don't want it completely changed or ruined. So, there is this delicate balance that anyone singing an Elvis, a Beatles or even a Rolling Stones song must strike. Be different but not too different.

That is precisely what Charity did with her version of "Can't Help Falling in Love." She changed some things up and took risks, which appears to have paid off handsomely for her. Soon after she belted the song's first few lyrics, the studio audience started hooting and hollering with delight. Except for Howie, the judges were also overly complimentary of her stunning performance.

Colossians 3:16 "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."

‘Don’t Let Our Love Start Slippin’ Away’ Gets Makeover From Family Band

Every time Colt Clark and the Quarantine Kids release a new YouTube video, I can’t help but pause, grin, and watch. They’ve grown up over the years, and we’ve had a front-row seat since the pandemic. They started playing for fun and to cheer up family and friends. Now, years later, they’ve gone beyond 500 songs—five hundred little reminders that joy can be homemade.

If you haven’t watched them yet, you will adore ‘Don’t Let Our Love Start Slippin’ Away’ as this family band gives it a good makeover. It’s pure delight—the kind of performance that makes you pause mid-scroll, grin wide, and just soak in the joy.

The band is made up of Dad Colt and his three kids—Beckett, Cash, and Bellamy. Mom Aubree, a photographer and homeschooler, captures it all from behind the camera. Together, they’ve turned their living room into a stage where laughter and music mingle like old friends.

In this performance, the charm is everywhere you look. With her rocker power t-shirt and fearless grin, Bellamy strums her bass like she was born for it. Cash, laid back on the chair, adds his own flair with every expression and note. Beckett holds the beat steady on the drums, even decorating his bass drum with a stuffed animal—because why not? And Colt? He’s all heart, jamming with the kind of joy only a dad can have when he’s making music with his kids.

What you see isn’t just talent—it’s family love woven through every chord. It’s laughter spilling over. It’s family reminding us that beauty can bloom even out of hard seasons.

Thank you, Clark family, for the gift of music that keeps us smiling and for showing us how love, when nurtured, never slips away.

“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.”  1 Peter 4:8

Superb A Cappella Cover of Phillip Phillips’ ‘Home’

Check out this superb a cappella cover of Phillip Phillips ‘Home.’ I’ve had the song on my playlist for years. The lyrics—“Hold on, to me as we go / As we roll down this unfamiliar road”—always hit me right in the heart. 

There’s just something about that song, the way it reminds me that home isn’t a place—it’s love, it’s safety, it’s the people who carry us through life. Over the years, countless singers have given it their own magic, and I’ve cherished many of those renditions. But Philip Phillips? He’s always been my all-time favorite… until Jared Halley came along. 

Jared Halley, if you haven’t heard of him, is a phenomenal musician and a master of a cappella. He takes every note, every rhythm, and builds it into something transcendent. And his version of Home? It’s jaw-dropping. 

He divided the song into sixteen separate tracks—bass, alto, percussion, rhythm—and layered them meticulously. When he plays it all together, it’s as if he’s singing alongside a full choir, each part harmonizing perfectly, each beat carrying the soul of the song forward.

I especially love the lines “And I’ll find a way to make it through / I’ll make a home out of you”—and hearing them through Jared’s voice feels like the words are wrapping around you like a hug. Every note is alive, each vocal layer blending into something more than music. 

And let’s not forget the outtakes! Watching Jared dance, make faces, laugh at himself while recording—those little glimpses of joy make the song even sweeter.

I can’t stop listening. Each time I press play, it’s like experiencing the song all over again, hearing it with new ears and a new sense of wonder. Jared has taken a song I already loved and transformed it into something that feels brand new, a version that will linger in your soul long after the last note fades.

So, friends, what do you think? Has Jared’s rendition of the song become your new favorite too? Because, honestly, I think it just might be mine. And maybe, just maybe, it will find a place on your playlist for years to come, too.

Psalm 91:1 “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”

Beatles’ ‘Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da’ Gets Smooth Saxophone Makeover

The Beatles’ ‘Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da’ gets a smooth saxophone makeover by a talented street performer. You’ll instantly be able to recognize this unique song played by the young Avelina Kushnir. Watch the video to hear the joyous tune. 

As the 17-year-old plays, many gather around to watch and video her performance—and it’s easy to see why. It’s rare to see a live sax player and even rarer to hear any Beatles song covered on the sax, especially their song, “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.” The carefree nonsense song is known for its peppy beat with drums, bongos, maracas, piano, and guitar. Even if you’re an avid Beatles fan, you’ve probably never heard this song on the sax. 

Avelina gives the song a whole new life with her saxophone. The tune sounds deeper, simpler, lovelier, and more melodic when she performs it. It captures the song’s playful spirit while adding a jazzy and soulful change that brings a new kind of joy. She’s turned a bustling street into a magic moment. The song feels like a wonderful celebration of youth, love, and joy. 

It’s clear that Avelina clearly enjoys her work as she plays, sways, and dances with her sax. At just 17, she is very confident. She commands her instrument with expertise and ease, making it look terribly easy, even though it must have been very hard to master. When she stops playing, many around her clap with smiles and joy on their faces. 

This young woman’s performance is something that you will carry with you throughout the day. After you see it, you won’t be able to get this happy song out of your head. 

Hearing this is a sweet reminder to slow down and enjoy a happy beat. Music has the power to transform any moment into something very special and unforgettable.

Whitney Houston’s Hit ‘I Wanna Dance with Somebody’ Gets Beautiful Makeover

The streets of London are never still—double-decker buses hum, footsteps hurry, conversations overlap in a dozen accents. It’s the sort of place where life rushes by, where we’re always trying to get to the next thing. But then—right there on the cobblestones—everything pauses when Whitney Houston’s hit ‘I Wanna Dance with Somebody’ gets a beautiful makeover. You can’t help but stop, watch, and listen. 

Two buskers stand shoulder to shoulder, their music floating through the crisp air. One is Atticus Blue, a voice already known by many for its soulful depth. The other—a woman whose name we don’t even know. And maybe that’s the beauty of it—anonymity wrapped in a sound that feels like home.

Together, they took Whitney’s iconic song, ‘I Wanna Dance with Somebody,’ and stripped it down to something sweet, elegant, and beautiful. If we go back to when Whitney’s song first came out, we remember the heat, the upbeat music, and the way it made our toes tap across the floor. But this time, it was slow and soft, and it was a chance to grab your partner’s hand and spin once or twice on those old streets while strangers smiled because, for one musical moment, the whole world felt lighter.

There’s something holy in it, isn’t there? The way a song can hush the noise, slow the steps, and remind us that joy is meant to be shared. That maybe God tucked music into our bones because He knew we’d need reminders of goodness in the middle of the ordinary.

And so, Atticus and this mystery woman became an unexpected duet—serenading shoppers, walkers, tourists, and dreamers alike. What a gift, really. To witness two strangers weaving joy into a gray London day. It’s the kind of thing that makes you believe the world is still brimming with wonder if only we’ll stop long enough to notice.

Don’t you think?

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”  James 1:17

Busker Gives Beautiful, Captivating Performance of The Cranberries’ ‘Linger’

A busker turned in a beautiful, captivating performance of The Cranberries' "Linger." Her rendition of the beloved, classic tune from the '90s is one that you'll want to listen to repeatedly. Watch the short but delightful clip to listen to and see the young woman perform "Linger."

Everyone believes that their era, when they were children, had the best music. Of course, while people will debate the music itself, it really does not have much to do with music at all. Instead, it has much more to do with the sentimental value and memories we attach to those tunes. That is the real reason why people defend their favorite era of music so vigorously.

Okay, some eras were objectively better than others in terms of the music produced during those years. The music of the 1960s and 1970s (minus the Disco songs) was clearly, far and away, better than that of the 1980s. The 80s gave us Flock of Seagulls, New Kids on the Block and Starship's "We Built This City." This, while the 60s and 70s provided us with Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Otis Redding's '(Sitting On) The Dock of the Bay."

While there is no contest between the 1970s and 80s as to which decade had the better music, some may consider the 1990s a terrific time for music fans. Others, though, may see it differently (Backstreet Boys, NSYNC and 98 Degrees—did we really need that many boy bands in the '90s?).

In a clip posted on YouTube, a young woman performs a tune from the '90s that has since become a classic, known and loved by nearly every music fan: The Cranberries' "Linger." She shows off her incredible musical gifts with her lovely performance. While she appeared and sounded nervous, she quickly settled in and got comfortable, turning in a tremendous cover of the tune.

Colossians 3:16 "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."

Family Band’s Electrifying Rendition of ‘Born on the Bayou’

A family band turned in an electrifying rendition of the classic "Born on the Bayou." This family of gifted musicians wows with their stunning cover of the beloved Creedence Clearwater Revival tune. Watch the short but jaw-dropping clip to listen to their fantastic cover of CCR's "Born on the Bayou."

Musicians playing songs originally written, recorded and performed by other musicians is a practice that is here to stay, and will be for the foreseeable future. Covers have likely been going on since music first became a thing. And who doesn't enjoy a good cover now and then? There must be a lot of people who do because how else could you ever explain the abundance of cover bands? Somebody is listening to them.

While many people enjoy hearing covers, most will agree that they rarely top or even match the original. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but those instances are few and far between. There's something about being the first one in a line of imitations that makes the original that much better. That's not just true for music, but also for movies. How often is the first film better than the sequels or the remake? See what I mean?

Regardless of how much we appreciate the original, first version, the Clark Family continues to turn out fantastic, stupendous renditions of classic tunes. The talented musicians have done it once again with their cover of "Born on the Bayou." It's one that you'll want to listen to repeatedly.

Typically, their covers shine because of Dad, who can seemingly sing anything because of his versatile voice. This time, though, their cover of "Born on the Bayou" is noteworthy because of their musical skills and expertise from the children. There are long stretches in the song where there is no singing, when only the instruments are heard, and it's utterly delightful. The kids demonstrate their high skill level and don't miss a note the entire performance.

Colossians 3:16 "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."

This Stunning Cover of LeAnn Rimes' ‘How Do I Live’ Will Give You Chills

This stunning cover of LeAnn Rimes' ‘How Do I Live’ will give you chills and send a positive tingle up your spine. The Sing It Live trio plays with talent and finesse as they perform the 1997 hit song. Play the video to hear the wonderful '90s throwback. 

Sing It Live takes us right back to the 90s with this moving cover of “How Do I Live.” Nothing captures a desperate, devotion-filled love quote like this song. Some of the emotionally heavy lyrics are: 

How do I get through one night without you
If I had to live without you
What kinda life would that be
Oh I, I need you in my arms, need you to hold

The female lead singer does an excellent job of covering the song in the same style as LeAnn Rimes. The instruments and backup vocals are also on par for the 90s song. Every line of the song carries aching vulnerability and sincerity. Just like LeAnn, you can tell that the singer does more than just vocalize the words—she feels them. 

This cover is so relatable and heartfelt. It reminds us how dear the ones we love are. It gives life to the endearment, “You are my heartbeat.” Our loved ones mean so much that we truly do not know how we would live without them or what our lives would be like. There is also a strong sense of gratitude as we appreciate our loved ones and what they mean to us. 

Watching the performance is like stepping into a raw feeling of anchoring love. It’s the kind of experience that only a good song like this can give. This lovely cover by Sing It Live proves that some songs never age, and that’s certainly the case for ‘How Do I Live.’

The Beatles’ ‘We Can Work It Out’ Gets Beautiful Cover from The Isaacs

The Beatles’ ‘We Can Work It Out’ gets a beautiful cover from The Isaacs in a new YouTube video. If you’ve never heard a Beatles song sung country, this is the cover you’ve got to see. Play the video to hear the wonderful cover. 

When you hear this tune, you may not even recognize that it is actually a Beatles classic. It sounds so different and transformed from the rock band’s hit. The Isaacs’ ability to take any song and make it into a country tune is utterly remarkable. ‘We Can Work it Out’ sounds so beautiful and encouraging. Some of the positive lyrics are: 

Think of what you're saying 
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright 
Think of what I'm saying 
We can work it out and get it straight or say good night 

While the song sounds very different from the Beatles’, The Isaacs have still kept that positive, lively beat that the song has. The song choice is excellent—it’s full of positivity. There are many, many more breakup songs than there are songs about working through things together, so it’s a nice reminder that hope is not lost in relationships. 

The lyrics “We can work it out and get it straight or say good night” actually point back to the Bible in a way. The scripture says in Ephesians 4:26, “Be you angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down on your wrath.” In other words, “say good night” and make up before bedtime. 

This song is a wonderful reminder that we should keep a positive outlook about relationships and consider others’ perspectives. And the Isaacs’ cover is great. The music group has truly brought life to a forgetten old song and given it a bright and lovely country twist

Life in 3D’s Cover of Disney Classic ‘Go The Distance’ Is Perfection

Life in 3D’s cover of Disney classic ‘Go The Distance’ is perfection. It sounds every bit of that theatrical, high-quality product that Disney is famous for. Watch the video to hear the famous song from Disney’s “Hercules.”

Life in 3D does a simply outstanding job. The group is made up of three talented siblings:  19-year-old Devon, 24-year-old Daylon, and their sister, 22-year-old Duara. Daylon begins the song with his baritone voice before his younger siblings harmonize with him. Each sibling has a unique tone and different pitch, and they complement each other incredibly well. Together, they sound amazing. 

“We figured it was about time for another Disney song, one of our favorites!” the siblings said

They chose the song from Disney’s 1997 animated movie, “Hercules.” The song is about self-discovery, chasing your dreams, not giving up, and achieving accomplishments in the face of adversity. Some of the lyrics are: 

I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong
I am on my way
I can go the distance
I don't care how far

These siblings don’t need a stage to shine. Simply singing, with or without instruments, they sound perfect. They sound like they’ve been harmonizing all their lives; they’re experts at it, without a doubt. 

They made a great choice by choosing ‘Go The Distance’ to sing together. Each one of them has their own distinct strengths to offer, but it’s the beautiful blend of their combined voices that gives the cover that little magic touch. I can’t think of a better group of artists to cover a classic Disney song like this one.  

“Do you not see that in a running competition all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward.” 1 corinthians 9:24

Aerosmith’s ‘Dream On’ Gets a Smooth Jazz Makeover

Aerosmith's "Dream On" gets a lovely smooth jazz makeover. The classic tune, which many know and love, received a cover that took the song in a decidedly different direction. Watch the short but enjoyable clip to listen to this new take on Aerosmith's beloved and iconic song, "Dream On."

Covers are not going anywhere in the foreseeable future. No, I'm not talking about the long pieces of cloth that help to keep us warm at night. However, the same could also be said for them. No, I'm talking about musical covers, when a band or musician plays a tune originally written, recorded and performed by another musician or band.

Everyone enjoys a good cover now and then, right? Who doesn't want to hear another musician's interpretation of a well-known, beloved song? Sure, for the most part, the original will still be far and away better than the cover. But there are a few instances in which the cover is the better of the two. It's very rare, but it does happen.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a group of musicians cover Aerosmith's "Dream On." But they don't just cover the song, turning out a carbon copy of the original. They take the song we all know and love in a very different direction. Instead of trying to mimic the original rock version supplied by Aerosmith (which would have been a completely useless and pointless exercise), they turn it into a smooth jazz number.

Yes, it's the same recognizable lyrics, beautifully and elegantly delivered, but accompanied by a jazzy sound. It's an outstanding rendition in which the musicians display their considerable musical talents. Even those who are the biggest, most fanatical Aerosmith fans will still appreciate this new and delightful cover.

This cover of Aerosmith's "Dream On" will have you singing along while you're tapping your toe. A fantastic cover!

Colossians 3:16  "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."

Busker’s Beautiful Cover of Beatles' Classic ‘Let It Be’

There’s something about music drifting through an open-air square that can pull you right out of your day and plant you in a moment you didn’t know you needed. This busker’s beautiful cover of the Beatles’ classic ‘Let It Be’ will make your day.

In the heart of Dublin’s bustling city center—where footsteps scatter like rain and conversations weave in the air—Kyla Belle stands with her dark brown guitar cradled close. Her long blond hair catches the Irish breeze, moving like the rhythm of the song she’s about to sing.

She begins to strum the familiar opening chords of one of our all-time favorite Beatles classics, Let It Be. And that’s when the world, for just a breath, seems to hush.

It’s not just the song, it’s the way Kyla sings it. Her sultry, whispery voice curls around the words with the kind of warmth that feels like it’s been steeped in heartache and hope. There’s a hint of Stevie Nicks in her tone, that smoky magic that makes you lean in closer, listen harder.

Anyone trying to carve their place in the music world knows the secret: take a song people love, and make it wholly your own. But the ones who really make you stop, those rare voices, they pour their soul into it.

That’s what Kyla does. She doesn’t belt it; she breathes it. Every note is a soft and stunning twist, reminding you that Let It Be is a prayer. A surrender. A comfort all in one song. 

And in that busy Dublin square, surrounded by strangers who were just passing through, her music becomes a bridge. One that connects us—whether we’re locals, tourists, or just weary souls who need a reminder that beauty is still alive in the world.

Sometimes, all it takes to change a day is the right song, sung by the right voice, and at just the right moment. And when you hear Kyla sing, you can’t help but listen.

“Be still, and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10

Young Man Stuns with Powerful ‘My Heart Will Go On’ Rendition

A young man stunned with his powerful rendition of “My Heart Will Go On.” The little guy showed off his jaw-dropping voice as he belted out the Celine Dion classic. Watch the short but awe-inspiring clip to hear the young man beautifully perform “My Heart Will Go On.”

There are a lot of truly talented musicians today. If asked, we could easily rattle off an endless list of singers and bands who we believe to be musically gifted. Of course, there are bound to be some major and minor differences in opinion on those theoretical musical lists. Some people will believe this band or performer is terrific, while others may leave that particular singer or band off entirely.

Regardless of opinion on other singers and bands, there is little discussion about who some of the greatest singers of all time are. People like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Adele, Celine Dion and Aretha Franklin are in a class of their own. Their voices are so powerful, recognizable, unmistakable and incomparable. Very few people come along with musical gifts similar to those talented ladies. It’s nearly impossible to top those voices, so covering one of their songs is usually a fool’s errand.

In a clip posted on social media, a young man sings “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion. Surprisingly, the little guy nails it. He reaches for, hits and holds those impressively high notes. In a matter of seconds, the young singer demonstrates that he has been incredibly gifted with a beautiful voice.

It’s incredible what he can do at such a young age. However, the most impressive part is that he appears to be putting on such a magnificent performance without even realizing it. He does it so effortlessly and nonchalantly. Once he’s done singing, he goes about his day as if nothing has happened.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
