Feeling Blue? Cure it With Powerful Southern Gospel Music Lyrics

Posted by hanun on August 28, 2009 under Music Lyrics

Whether read or listened to, southern gospel music lyrics have the focus and the message that grounds you in an attitude of thankfulness and humbleness, whether you are Christian or not.

Of all the genres of music popular today, one of the most authentically original is black gospel and souther gospel music. The gospel music song lyrics are one of the most searched for items on the internet, and for one good reason. They uplift. They pick you up.

Let’s look at two of the most popular gospel songs and see why.

Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace is perhaps one of the most famous and popular American songs, well beyond the gospel category. Here are the opening lyrics:

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me….

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind, but now, I see.

Aside music itself, which sends shivers down your spine from the opening notes, the lyrics speak to a universal condition. All of us, at various times, feel lost and unworthy, blind and hopeless. So this song’s lyrics bring a powerful message of the bliss of when we find our way, our purpose, whatever that might be.

Beulah Land

This song is one of my favorites. It is so short, but it speaks to the longing for a home that we all feel: a place where our separations and sorrows of this world will no longer intrude.

I’m kind of homesick for a country

To which I’ve never been before.

No sad goodbyes will there be spoken

for time won’t matter anymore.

This song is a great example of how universal the southern gospel themes are, breaking out of the bounds of bible-thumbing Jesus-saved me politics, and speaking to the human condition in a timeless way. Beulah Land closes out with these amazing lyrics:

I’m looking now across the river

where my faith will end in sight.

There’s just a few more days to labor.

Then I will take my heavenly flight.

Cure Those Blues Now

How ironic that another great southern music tradition is the blues, and this phrase has entered our language to denote ‘being down.’ If you think about it, perhaps it’s only logical that the 19th century slavery experience would lead 20th century African American culture — still segregated and oppressed for much of that century too — to develop two great music traditions that denote the depressed condition (the Blues), and provide the antidote (Gospel Music).

So pump yourself up with some gospel music – you can either listen to it online or, one of my favorites, is to print out the lyrics to my favorite songs. Once you’re up again, feeling good, and all jazzed up, then it’s time to listen to the third great black southern music tradition, Jazz. But that’s another whole story.

Nokia 5800 Xpress Music Review

Posted by hanun on August 27, 2009 under Uncategorized



Nokia 5800 became the first to use the touch screen for menu operation. Compared to competitors, the size of the screen from Nokia 5800 is not actually very wide. However, the design of glass surface and keypad removal make the screen feel very wide.

Remaining buttons are available at the bottom of the screen which is only 3 buttons: Call button, Menu, and End call.

To turn-off the mobile phone, Nokia provides the key apart; located on the top body, the top of the right.

Touch screen are vulnerable for accidentally touch but do not worry because Nokia has prepared a solution, the key slot on the right body.

Nokia 5800 is not free from problem that often available in any touch screen devices which is hand impressions, specially in the display. But the dark color is usually successful solution for the problem. Maybe because that Nokia choice to set up only 3 colors: silver-black, red and blue.

Typically, touch screen are paired with stylus as the input tool. Nokia 5800 is also same. The stylus can be drawn out from the bottom of the right elbow body, a bit behind. The funny is, if you opened the back casing, this stylus was inherent in the casing.

But there is also interest thing in the Nokia 5800, which is the use of plektrum as input tool. Guitarist certainly must know it because this looks like a regular pick used to pluck the guitar string. Plektrum is equipped with a rope so that it can held to the mobile phone.

New menu and movement sensor

Nokia 5800 using the latest Symbian, the S60 version 5. Not surprisingly, the home screen menu structure is changed. Nearly all the icon on the home screen are shortcuts to open further menu . For example, click on the icon to open the day and you will found clock setting.

Interesting note is that the Contacts Bar. At the bar we can enter 4 contacts which are the most commonly contacted. This menu can show the call or SMS to update the blog contact.

The Media Bar; “ribbon” menu that appears on the right side of the screen when pushing “touch button” on the bottom of the camera. “Ribbon” icon contains 5 shortcuts to the application of entertainment, music library, Online Gallery Share, Video center, and Bookmarks.

One more interesting is the movement sensor. When you change the position of holding the phone from portrait to landscape, the display screen will automatically change to follow. This function is the most enjoyed when you play fun game such as Bounce or car racing Global Race Raging Thunder.

Music and Music

As a music phone, music player is definitely mandatory attendance. The setting provided, among others are Shuffle play, Repeat, Equalizer, Balance, Bass booster and Stereo widening.

In addition to music player, this smartphone also have Radio feature. Radio, as always, require that the headset is connected.

Ease of getting to the songs supported for Podcasting and Music store.

The strength of the sound produced must be calculated too. And the Nokia 5800 is not disappointing. The external speakers that broadcast sounds was clear and high enough.

Camera

3.2 MP camera with Carl Zeiss Tessar lens is behind the body, accompanied with flash. The camera button on the right body. Second VGA camera in the upper-right corner of the screen; used primarily for video call.

You can splatter images with Image Quality for maximum 3 Megapixels that allows you to print the image for size 25×20 cm. While the video can be recorded with Video Quality high quality TV as the maximum progress , which means that all of the recorded video can be playback on TV, PC or handset.
