This epic performance proves that this kid was born to be a rock star! His enthusiasm and talent definitely impressed the judges as well as the audience.

Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way’

Bay’s vocals and guitar playing are outstanding, and it is incredible to see such a young musician have such a great stage presence. You can tell he really enjoys being up on stage performing for people. He even shared that since his first show when he was 7 years old, he knew that he wanted to play and perform rock and roll for the rest of his life.

In addition to the standing ovation from the audience, Bay received high praise from people online who watched his AGT performance.

“So awesome! When he slid across the stage on to his knees and was smiling at the crowd, I swear, I saw a flash of Eddie Van Halen there. Best wishes young man,” comments one person on YouTube after watching the video.

“I keep watching this video and it never disappoints. If he can perform like this at 10, then imagine how he performs in the future. Keep it up, Bay!” writes another person online.

The judges were also very impressed with Bay and shared their thoughts after his performance.

“What are you?” says Sofía Vergara with a stunned look on her face. “It’s like you were born for this. Like I think you were born already being a mini rock star. And I feel like you can’t get enough of this when you’re up there. You don’t want it to stop, right?”

“You were amazing,” Howie Mandel says. “This was like a festival. It was like a kids festival. You’re amazing. You could tell he enjoys it. That’s what’s amazing about it. You were born to do this. Keep doing it and you will be happy. I love that you found your dream.”

Good luck to Bay on all his future rock star endeavors!

Stunning Rendition of Beach Boys’ ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice’

Check out this stunning rendition of the song ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice’ by The Beach Boys. The singers in the video are part of a band called REO Brothers, and they are from the Philippines. They are known for playing music from the 60s, like The Beatles and The Beach Boys, and they did an incredible job with this cover.

‘Wouldn't it be nice if we were older?
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong?’

The band members who make up REO Brothers are Reno, who plays drums and vocals, RJ, who plays lead guitar/vocals/keyboards, Raymart, who plays rhythm guitar and vocals, Ralph, who plays bass and vocals, and Roy Mark, who plays keyboards and vocals.

They are all so talented and have a great blend of harmonies and vocal sound. Brian Wilson would definitely be very impressed with this rendition of ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice’ from the REO Brothers!

Many people online also shared their thoughts on the band’s performance.

“Wow! Incredible cover of this classic Beach Boys song. The Reo Bros are the best!” one person comments on YouTube after watching the video.

“I love social media for this reason – seeing talented musicians from all over the world and singers that we would otherwise never have heard of,” writes another person online.

The REO Brothers have traveled around a bit, sharing their music with others. In 2015, the band was invited to perform in the annual BEATLE-week Festival at The Cavern Club in Liverpool, where the Beatles used to play during their early years. Then, in 2019, the band performed in different cities in Australia. For the past three years, the REO Brothers have had back-to-back concerts in different states around America and Canada.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this rendition of ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice’ today!

Woman Nails Tina Turner Hit and Gets Every Coach to Turn Around

A woman nailed a Tina Turner hit and got every coach to turn their chair around for her. Her beautiful voice and fantastic performance of “What’s Love Got to Do with It” literally caused the coaches to sit up and take notice. Watch the short but jaw-dropping clip to see and listen to her sing Tina Turner’s “What’s Love Got to Do with It” on The Voice.

Talent shows continue to be popular, pulling in sizable audiences every week. That must be the trend because why else would they stay on the air? Some of them, especially in the case of American Idol, have been on for decades and are still holding firm. Audiences must absolutely love watching people audition and show the judges and the world their musical gifts.

However, regarding those programs, The Voice has to be the most challenging, at least during the audition round. Unlike American Idol and America’s Got Talent, on The Voice, the judges are literally facing away from those hoping to score a spot on the show. The only way the judges are flipping their chairs around is for a voice that catches their ear, and for no other reason.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one young woman, Jazz McKenzie, caused all four judges to turn their chairs around for her quickly. She gave a jaw-dropping performance of Tina Turner’s “What’s Love Got to Do with It?” It was incredible, and trying to cover a Tina Turner song is never an easy task. But she did a fantastic job!

At some points during the woman’s audition, if you covered your eyes and listened to her perform, you would say that it was Tina herself singing. The young woman effortlessly hit high note after high note. With talent like that, she is likely to go far in the competition!

Life in 3D’s Chilling Rendition of Coldplay’s ‘Viva La Vida’

Check out this excellent rendition of the song ‘Viva La Vida’ performed by the group Life in 3D. The singers are all siblings named Daylon, Daura, and Devon. They all have amazing voices and use their God-given talents to bring hope and encouragement to others through song. And what a fantastic job they did on their rendition of this song by Coldplay!

‘I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own’

Daylon, Daura, and Devon are from Tempe, AZ. In this music video, they can be seen walking around town singing out beautiful harmonies that blend so well together! It is clear to see that this sibling trio loves to make music with one another.

“The vocal ranges, the impeccable harmonies, the sweetness, the innocence, the raw talent that you each embody is Inspiring and deeply nourishing to all hear and see you. If it’s even possible, you just keep getting better and better,” comments one person on YouTube after watching the music video.

“I’ve listened to the original Coldplay version many times, but you three sent chills up my spine and I could feel the words in my soul as you sang them,” writes another person online.

When it comes to the background of Life in 3D, the siblings share on their website how their group came to be and how it was their parents who encouraged them to use their voices to encourage others.

“We got our first microphone in December 2021,” they share. “With no experience, we learned how to arrange three-part harmony and use a camera to record our cover songs.  Everything was homemade…but what started as just music for family and friends soon grew to an audience of over 1 million followers.  We never dreamed our music would be loved by so many, and it’s been incredible to become part of a community that’s connected through the gift of music. So life together became music. It became more than just our harmonies. It encompassed the way we interacted with each other– the way we laughed, argued, and even cleaned the kitchen together. It seemed as if our relationship deepened our experiences into a rich and vibrant lifestyle. A life in 3D.”

We hope that you enjoyed watching Life in 3D perform ‘Viva La Vida’ today!
 

After Harsh Criticism, Young Man Stuns Judges and Wins the Golden Buzzer

After receiving harsh criticism, a young man stunned the judges and earned himself a Golden Buzzer. The teenager refused to stay knocked down but returned to Britain’s Got Talent and wowed everyone, including the judges. Watch the short but powerful and moving clip to listen to and see the young man’s emotional, Golden Buzzer-winning performance.

This world is not often a pleasant or kind place. Many situations and circumstances will knock you down, leaving you with bumps and bruises. Of course, some will be much more challenging than others, but pain is pain and will still hurt regardless.

However, staying down and giving up is rarely, if ever, the best course of action. Nothing is typically gained or learned by throwing in the towel whenever something gets difficult. That kind of mindset and mentality is a recipe for disaster. Someone who does that repeatedly will eventually look back on all those situations and think all about the “woulda, coulda and shouldas.” That would be awful to think about what might have been. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, 15-year-old Kyle Tomlinson walked out onto the Britain’s Got Talent stage and revealed something interesting during his back-and-forth with the judges. Three years earlier, as a 12-year-old, he had received some rather harsh criticism from one of the judges. He was instructed to get a singing instructor. But instead of taking that criticism personally and giving up, the young man was determined to return to that stage.

Now, as a 15-year-old, Kyle returned and gave a heartfelt and emotional performance, singing Leonard Cohen’s classic “Hallelujah.” Seconds into his dazzling musical performance, Kyle had the entire audience and the show’s four judges on his side, completely wowing them with his outstanding voice.

When it came time for the judges to give him their comments and render their decision, the same judge who had given him harsh criticism gave him a Golden Buzzer. Tears were understandably flowing. 

What a beautiful moment!

Stunning Rendition of Kenny Loggins’ Classic ‘Footloose’

A band of incredibly talented musicians turned in a stunning rendition of Kenny Loggins’ classic “Footloose.” This is one cover that you’ll want to listen to repeatedly. Watch the short but thoroughly enjoyable clip to listen to this band’s delightful cover of the beloved tune, “Footloose.”

Some songs, no matter when you hear them, will always put you in a better mood. Whether it’s the song’s melody, lyrics or because of a particular memory we’ve attached to it, we can’t listen to them and not walk away in an improved state of mind. You know precisely the kind of song I’m talking about, too. Likely, you could easily name 10 or so off the top of your head if asked to do so.

It should come as no surprise that most of these special, mood-improving and mood-enhancing tunes are peppy, upbeat and unbelievably catchy. The energy in those songs is infectious and will make you feel like you can accomplish anything. Who is going to listen to a depressing ballad about the hurt and dangers associated with love when they want something to pump them up? The answer, of course, is no one.

Kenny Loggins’ 1984 classic “Footloose” is and forever will be a tune that makes everyone who hears it feel much better. The music is so upbeat and energetic. It’s simply an undeniably fun song that puts a smile on faces! In a clip posted on YouTube, a band, The Feelgood Orchestra (told you “Footloose” is a tune that improves moods), performed the song, much to the enjoyment of anyone who happens to hear their cover.

“So now I gotta cut loose
Footloose
Kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise”

Sure, the lyrics aren’t the deepest, most meaningful in the world, but who cares? Music is about how it makes you feel, and “Footloose” is a tune that will always improve your mood, and make you feel better. 

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.”

‘September’ Gets Stunning Piano Instrumental Cover

The song "September" has received a stunning piano instrumental cover. This rendition of the beloved tune from the legendary group Earth, Wind & Fire is one you will want to listen to repeatedly. Watch the short but thoroughly enjoyable clip to hear this delightful cover rendition of "September."

Some songs are so good that you will inevitably find yourself singing and dancing along to them regardless of where or when you hear them; doing otherwise would be just wrong. They are so incredibly catchy and upbeat that it's nearly physically impossible to ignore these tunes. You know exactly what type of songs I'm talking about. They span generations, and everyone somehow knows all the lyrics, regardless of the listener's age.

Perhaps it's because disco was such a popular genre, but it seems that many of these songs come from the 1970s. There's Wild Cherry's "Play that Funky Music," "Get Down Tonight" by KC and the Sunshine Band and anything by ABBA and The Bee Gees. Even those who aren't disco fans will have to agree that those are some absolute classics.

However, the most memorable, beloved song from that era is Earth, Wind & Fire's "September." If that song does not immediately put you in a better mood, I'm not sure any song will. It's impossible to listen to and not sing along. In a clip posted on YouTube, a pianist performs "September," complete with spellbinding, captivating graphics that fall toward the keys.

This version is an absolute delight. It matters not that none of those iconic lyrics are uttered throughout the clip. That's because, as you listen to this instrumental cover, you will likely add those lyrics yourself, especially that fantastic, earworm of a chorus.

It doesn't matter the month, Earth, Wind & Fire's "September" is always a joy to hear!

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 song, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."

Bee Gees Classics Shine in Wonderful Medley Performance

Do you feel like dancing along to a fun video? Are you ready to hear a classic throwback that will take you to a time of funk? Check out the Bee Gees classics shine in Wonderful Medley Performance.

Get ready to get down and groove with this incredible group of men and women. Each member in the band has a skill that he or she displays. The group includes a brass section, guitars, keys, vocalists, and percussion. The lead singer is a lively performer; his voice is smooth and powerful. They start with “Stayin' Alive.” This singer is on fire! He has an incredible falsetto. Next is “Night Fever.” Prepare to boogie down!

As you watch, you cannot help but dance along and bob your head to the classic song. You will feel as if you stepped back in time. The backup singers then throw in some dance moves and do the disco finger. 

The chorus sings out:

Oh, say you'll always be my baby. We can make it shine.
Oh, we can take forever. Just a minute at a time.

The concept of commitment and faithfulness in a relationship is so important. God teaches us that when we marry, we are brought into a covenant with Him that reflects Jesus’ covenant with us. The man singing this song brings out this message of a man loving a woman and being amazed that she is his woman. 

She is more than just a woman, though; she is his love. As we have fun listening to this song, may we remember the value and gratitude for our loved ones in the simple moments as well as the long-term vows.

“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.” Ephesians 5:25-27

Family Band Delivers Funky Throwback With Wild Cherry Classic

A family band delivered a funky throwback with their rendition of a Wild Cherry classic. The family of talented musicians will have you singing and dancing along with their delightful cover of "Play that Funky Music."  Watch the short but thoroughly enjoyable clip to listen to and see the Clark family perform "Play the Funky Music" by Wild Cherry.

While some may not appreciate or even enjoy musicians playing the songs of others, I've got some bad news for those individuals. Covers are here to stay, and there is likely nothing that can be done about it. That's a practice that is likely as old as music itself, so to think that anything would be changing in the immediate future on that front would be incredibly incorrect.

It's understandable why some people may not like covers. They are not all created equally. Some musicians should not touch some tunes, especially if all they are going to do is ruin them. No one wants that. But when covers are done right, they are super enjoyable, and on very rare occasions, even better than the original.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the Clark family covers Wild Cherry's "Play that Funky Music." I'm not saying their version is better than the original from the 1970s, but theirs is still pretty darn good. You will want to watch and listen to this family demonstrate their jaw-dropping musical talent. The young man's guitar solo about halfway through the clip is awe-inspiring.

Like every other song they cover, this performance is an absolute joy, and they will have you singing right along. How could you not sing along to those memorable, iconic lyrics?

"Yeah, they were dancing and moving
And moving to the grooving
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted…play that funky music, white boy"

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."

Young Musicians Nail Fleetwood Mac's ‘Landslide’

Young musicians nail Fleetwood Mac's “Landslide” in a new video on YouTube. It’s wonderful to see youth enjoying an old song. Watch the video to enjoy it. 

The group has seven members: two female vocalists, a drummer, three guitarists, and a pianist. All of them are quite young and oh so talented. The singers sound so good together as they harmonize in the song. Harmonization isn’t something you usually hear in a “Landslide” cover, but it’s a very nice addition. 

Some of the lyrics of “Landslide” are: 

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

The song is all about maturity, growth, and life’s transitions. It is beautiful and very poetic. 

It’s not a song you’d expect to hear kids singing, but it sounds incredible to hear the young talent at work. It is a wonderful tribute to Fleetwood Mac, whom I’m sure would agree if they heard it. While some versions of this song sound slow and mournful, the children make this cover sound more hopeful and bright, while still keeping all of the traditional elements of the song intact. 

They do a great job with their instrumental arrangement. You can tell that they have a lot of respect for the original song through their performance. They all put in a great deal of emotion and skill. And the group’s main vocalist, Hope, is a perfect match for Stevie Nicks. 

Their performance almost feels like a bridge between generations. It simultaneously feels nostalgic and new. It is proof that great music isn’t what’s playing on the radio. Sometimes you’ve got to pull up YouTube and click on a video like this to find it, being sung by young, promising voices.

Gardiner Brothers Dazzle with Irish Twist on ABBA Favorite

The Gardiner brothers dazzled with an Irish twist on an ABBA favorite. The popular dancing brother duo showed off their fancy footwork as an Irish version of a beloved ABBA tune was played. Watch the short but captivating clip to see the stunning dance and to listen to the ABBA song with an added Irish flair.

The Gardiner brothers are internet famous for their many videos in which they demonstrate their jaw-dropping dance steps to some classic, beloved songs. Their videos consistently rack up the numbers, with hundreds of thousands of people checking out their fun, highly inventive, choreographed dances. Their videos are always a joy to watch!

It's nearly impossible to look away from one of their videos once you start watching. Their dance steps, always done at an incredible speed, are captivating. They never miss a step and stay perfectly in sync with one another. In one of their latest videos, they once again demonstrate their moves, but this time they add something decidedly different from most of their other videos.

In this clip posted on YouTube, the two brothers do their thing to an instrumental version of an ABBA song, "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" That doesn't sound too different, right? Well, this isn't just any rendition of "Gimmie! Gimme! Gimme!" It has a very distinct Irish sound and feel to it.

"Do you ever wonder what ABBA would sound like played on a fiddle with Irish dancing?" one of the brothers asks in the video.

Well, now you no longer have to wonder how a song from the beloved 1970s Swedish group would sound because that is precisely what happens in their short clip. And while it is much different from the version known and loved by many, it's still quite catchy and delightful. You could easily listen to more of ABBA's tunes played in a similar fashion.

Psalm 149:3 "Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music."

Foreigner’s ‘I Want to Know What Love Is’ Gets Unique Reggaeton Twist

Foreigner’s “I Want to Know What Love Is” gets a unique reggaeton twist in a new cover by Robyn Adele Anderson. It sounds so simply stunning. Play the video to hear it for yourself!

Robyn completely mellows out the song in this cover. It sounds wholly reggaeton with sax, tuba, cello, piano, and drum sounds. Robyn and her band take it from an '80s soft rock pop song to a song that you might hear at a classy but peppy restaurant. Her version makes you want to get up and take a swing around the room with your partner. 

Robyn gives the song a whole new tone. It sounds more confident than confused, unlike Foreigner’s version. 

Foreigner released the song in 1984. It has been listened to hundreds of thousands of times since then and has been featured in many movies, including “Rock of Ages” and “Alvin and the Chipmunks.” 

Foreigner guitarist Mick Jones wrote the song. “‘I Want To Know What Love Is’ started off on more of a personal level,” Mick said. “I’d been through a lot of relationships that eventually failed, and still searching for something that could really endure. And that sort of took [on] a life of its own as well. It became more of a universal feeling.” 

The song speaks about being familiar with love but not really knowing what it is. The singer has a longing to feel it. Some of the song’s lyrics are: 

This mountain, I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds, I see love shine
Keeps me warm as life grows colder

The song may take you back to the 80s when you listen to it, but it’s more likely to take you back to that emotion that so many of us have felt while struggling in a relationship… wondering if love is real.

U.S. Navy Band Stuns with Cover of Styx Classic ‘Come Sail Away’

The first chords of Styx’s classic “Come Sail Away” are played by the U.S. Navy band and stuns as it drifts out. Suddenly, the screen is alive with joy—horns blaring, guitars soaring, drums keeping time like the steady rhythm of waves against a ship’s hull. The U.S. Navy Band took a rock classic and wrapped it with the laughter and grit of sailors at work, and the result is nothing short of delightful. 

One moment you’re tapping your foot, the next you’re swept away in wonder as clips of sailors hoisting lines and saluting the flag are woven into the melody. It’s fun, it’s upbeat, and it’s contagious.

The music video feels like standing on the edge of the sea at sunrise—hope stretching wide, energy rushing in like the tide. The band doesn’t just play; they pour themselves into every note. Their joy is as real as the salt spray on a sailor’s face. And when the camera cuts from the solo to sailors on deck, you remember that music has always been the Navy’s heartbeat—lifting spirits, keeping time, carrying hope through long deployments.

The comments tell the story of how deeply this performance landed. Maxine, a 72-year-old widow of a Navy intelligence engineer, wrote, “Your song means so much to me, brought me to tears. God bless each and every one of you, and God bless America.” 

Carol, daughter of a WWII veteran, added, “These guys were absolutely spot on with the band Styx. It’s a perfect song for the Navy! That was an awesome performance!!!” And one longtime Styx fan recalled her husband first hearing the band in boot camp 47 years ago, saying this rendition brought it all rushing back.

“Come sail away, come sail away,” the refrain rings out, and you can almost feel the invitation—step into joy, into music, into memory. It’s not just a cover; it’s a little bit of fun and a reminder that even in uniforms and under orders, there are hearts that beat to music, spirits that soar on melody, and sailors who still know how to smile and sing.

Psalm 107:23–24  “Some went out on the sea in ships; they were merchants on the mighty waters. They saw the works of the Lord, his wonderful deeds in the deep.”

Busker’s Cover of The Beatles’ ‘Hey Jude’ Will Give You Chills

The streets of London hum with footsteps and chatter, but then comes a sound that hushes the crowd into awe. A young woman in a simple blue denim dress, guitar in hand, lifts her voice—and suddenly a busker’s cover of The Beatles’ ‘Hey Jude’ will give you chills. 

Leire’s voice is strong and rich, yet sweet as honey—carrying something both tender and powerful. Each note climbs like sunlight up old brick walls, filling the open air with joy. The way she strums her guitar, the way her voice rises and falls—you can’t help but sing along. It’s the kind of music video that makes you stop, lean in, and share a moment that feels like eternity caught in melody.

“Leire is already a star,” one listener wrote, “she captivates audiences with both her vocals and guitar accompaniment.” Another fan called her rendition “touching and highly emotional… a wonderful interpretation. Bravo!” And perhaps the truest words: “Refreshing to see a young girl that cares about her appearance—and what a voice.”

She doesn’t need a stage like “America’s Got Talent,” she just needs a street corner, a guitar, and the courage to pour her soul into a song we all know by heart. And oh, how she makes it new. ‘Hey Jude’ becomes less about memory and more about this very moment—alive, fresh, unforgettable.

It’s no wonder fans are already saying, “Wow. You never cease to impress. I wish I could travel from the U.S. to London to hear you in person.”

So if your heart needs lifting, if your spirit longs for music that feels like open skies and second chances, watch Leire sing. Share it with your friends. Let it play loud. And don’t be surprised when you find yourself humming along long after the last note fades.

Because this isn’t just a song—it’s the reminder that beauty can be found right here, in the middle of the street, where heaven brushes earth in a girl with a guitar and a voice that won’t let you go. We hope you love it as much as we do!

Ephesians 5:19 “Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord.”

The Monkees’ Classic ‘Daydream Believer’ Gets a Fantastic Cover

Oh, how this brings me back to simpler times full of peace and sunshine. The Monkees’ classic ‘Daydream Believer’ gets a fantastic cover you can’t help but play and replay. Amir and Lital are standing in their living room, wild curls framing their faces, dressed in nothing fancy but t-shirts and sweatpants. 

One cradles an electric guitar, the other a regular one, and in this simple space, they open up something beautiful. The world feels heavy these days, the air thick with news and noise, but when The Darzis begin to play, it feels like a window has been flung open. Light, laughter, and music tumble in.

Their song carries us back to simpler times and moments when music spilled from a record player and the only thing that mattered was how it made us feel. It’s sweet and tender, yet alive with joy. There’s a fun, playful ease in the way they play together—as if we’ve all been invited into their living room for a private concert.

And when the chorus arrives? You can’t help yourself. You belt out the lyrics right along with them, the words dancing off your lips like they’ve always belonged there. It’s not just a cover—it’s a memory revived, a heart lifted, a smile tugged out of you whether you were ready for it or not.

Fans feel it too. Ernest wrote, “As a child, I had that on a 45 rpm vinyl record, I played it until you couldn’t play it no more.” Simon added, “Sometimes you just really know, don’t you? You can see it! Two people who just make the world a better place to be.” And Frank summed it up with aching gratitude: “I’m 71 years old and I feel as if you two are playing the soundtrack from the happiest days of my life. This is wonderful and comforting beyond measure.”

That’s the magic of The Darzis. They remind us that joy is still here, that beauty still breaks through, that music still heals. They take us by the hand, lift our chins, and for a few minutes let us believe in the golden years again. We hope this lifted your heart and you belted out the chorus too!

Romans 15:2 “Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.”

Man’s Dance to ‘September’ Is the Feel-Good Video You Need Today

One man dancing along to “September” is the feel-good video you need today. His dance to the Earth, Wind & Fire classic spread so much joy and happiness to others. Watch the short but joyful clip to see how he brought smiles to many people’s faces while showing off his moves.

The world is often a dark and violent place, where hate has multiplied and metastasized. Joy and even simple civility are in short supply today. People are quick to yell, scream and hate one another because they may disagree on this or that topic or subject. We really have to stop seeing each other as enemies.

One way to spread joy is by unexpectedly dancing in public to arguably one of the greatest songs ever. Dancing is an activity that nearly everyone can do. All you really need is some music and the fearlessness to demonstrate your swift, quick-footed dance steps. If you’ve got those two things, you’ve got a recipe for spreading joy and happiness.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one man broke out his dance moves, strutting his stuff to “September.” Not only does he show off his moves, but he also gets other people in the cafeteria involved. He is using his dance moves to spread joy and happiness. He dances his way over to several people throughout the clip, and they join in on the fun.

Smiles abound as the young man makes his way around the room, greeting and dancing with the many people in the cafeteria. Several people give a round of applause at the end of the song. He undoubtedly made the day of every person in that room a little better.

What a beautiful and joyful video! It shows the difference that can be made and how much happiness can be spread with a bit of music and some dance steps.

Psalm 149:3 “Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.”

‘Sweet Caroline’ Shines in Couple’s Beautiful Duet Performance

"Sweet Caroline" shone in a couple's beautiful duet performance. The man and woman gave a fantastic, toe-tapping rendition of the classic Neil Diamond tune. Watch the short but delightful clip to listen to their performance of a song that is near and dear to the hearts of many, "Sweet Caroline."

Everyone has different musical tastes and preferences. We're individuals, not replicas and duplicates of one another, so that will happen. There's nothing wrong with being different, right? You don't have to like the same things I do, and vice versa. How boring would it be if we were all the same in every conceivable way?

As we've already established, individual musical tastes will vary from person to person. For instance, I cannot stand country music and am not the biggest fan of The Beatles (personally, I think they are very overrated. I know to most people that it's wrong to even think, let alone write that for others to read.) However, even with those varied and differing opinions on music, there are still some songs that everyone universally loves. In a clip posted on YouTube, two street performers – a man and a woman – beautifully performed one of those beloved songs.

The two sing Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline," and do so wonderfully. The large crowd watching them perform seemed to enjoy what they heard. 

Their version is a rendition that you'll want to listen to repeatedly. No, it's not 100 percent like the original. Their unique voices and their choice in arrangement give the song a slightly different sound and feel from the one everyone knows and loves. But that's completely OK. If you're going to do a cover, change something about it, put your own spin on it.

While they changed the song a bit, they kept that iconic and lovely chorus that always gets stuck in your head.

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."

Classic ‘Beyond the Sea’ Gets Dazzling Piano Instrumental Makeover

A new YouTube video by Montechait gives the classic song “Beyond the Sea” a dazzling piano instrumental makeover. If you love listening to the piano, then you will definitely enjoy this cover. Play the video to hear the beautiful music.

As the YouTuber plays each key to the classic beat, he displays tutorial-like imagery, and each key lights up when he presses it. As fish and sea turtles swim in the ocean-filled background (a very fitting theme, don’t you think?), dashes of light precede each key before he presses it so that viewers can follow along. 

If you want to sing along to his keys, some of “Beyond the Sea (La Mer’s)” lyrics are: 

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing

“Beyond the Sea” is the English version of the French song “La Mer,” which was written by Charles Trenet in 1945. The original song was more about the sea, but Jack Lawrence, who wrote the English lyrics, turned it into more of a love song. 

It was featured in the Cary Grant movie, “Every Girl Should Be Married,” in 1955. It was also used in the closing credits of Pixar’s 2003 “Finding Nemo” movie and its sequel, “Finding Dory.” Bobby Darin made the song popular in 1959 when his version went to No. 6 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.

Bobby died in 1973 at the age of 37. His friend, producer Nick Venet, said Bobby “would whistle ‘Beyond The Sea’ on the beach and I'd walk, oh, a quarter of a mile behind him because he'd want me to see how the sound sounded when the wind brought it back. He was still planning on recording a new version of ‘Beyond The Sea’ at Pfeiffer Beach” before he died. 

Montechait gives life to the timeless classic. He shows the song is just as lovely on the piano as it is sung. It’s a beautiful, peaceful song that carries notions of love and wonder in every note.

Stunning Cover of Fleetwood Mac’s Beloved Hit ‘Landslide’

Flatland Calvary recently released a stunning cover of Fleetwood Mac’s beloved hit “Landslide.” The four-member band gives a beautiful tribute to Fleetwood Mac in their cover. Play the video to hear it. 

The band covers the song in a beautiful video set in a beautiful field with mountains in the background at sunset, with a microphone, violin, banjo, and two acoustic guitars. They’ve chosen a wonderful song to cover. The lead singer’s voice perfectly matches the tone of Fleetwood Mac, and the instruments that accompany it are perfection. 

Some of the lyrics of “Landslide” are: 

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

It’s a beautiful song about the changes that life brings and getting older. It’s incredibly poetic. The “landslide” seems to imply that life passes by so quickly. The song points out that we think of children as the epitome of youth, but even they get older in the flash of a moment. 

It was written by Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks when she was just 27 years old. She says she wrote it in just five minutes while in Aspen, Colorado. 

"I did already feel old in a lot of ways," Nicks recalled. "I'd been working as a waitress and a cleaning lady for years. I was tired."

Her struggles inspired her to write that song, and listeners are forever grateful for it. 

Flatland Calvary’s cover does sweet justice to the original song, and it sounds bittersweet and moving. They have expertly captured the emotional depth of the song and even pay homage to the mountains that inspired it. They show that Nicks’ “Landslide” will forever be timeless and tender; that much is certain.

Dance Troupe Stuns with Jaw-Dropping Moves on America’s Got Talent

A dance troupe stunned with their jaw-dropping moves on America’s Got Talent. With their swift-footed, choreographed dance steps, the guys showed they definitely belong in the competition. Watch the short but captivating clip to see the mesmerizing dance routine.

To be a good or even a passable dancer requires a lot of talent, hard work, perseverance and dedication. One does not learn all one needs to know about dance in one class. Becoming a world-class, celebrated dancer might even take more than two classes. Seriously, though, dance involves many years of intense, highly focused practice and hard work.

While dancers must put in long hours of practice and hard work, dance is about more than just that. It’s also about having fun doing it and spreading joy while showing off your fancy footwork. If people see someone having fun doing what they do, it will spread to others, and they will enjoy watching you even more. That is precisely what happened during one dance troupe’s most recent appearance on America’s Got Talent.

In the clip posted on YouTube, The Funkateer Dancers, a group of middle-aged friends, take the stage and give an electrifying performance. They show off their dance steps, moving about the stage with so much fun and joy that it’s abundantly apparent. Their routine radiates joy and happiness. They are having the time of their lives showing the show’s four judges, the studio audience and everyone at home what they’ve got.

The judges absolutely loved their routine, commenting several times about how much fun they appeared to be having and the abundance of joy and happiness that were apparent during their number.

“You know what? You guys are just pure joy,” Howie Mandel said. “You just sit here. I’m watching your family, I’m watching the whole audience and I imagine everybody in America is just smiling, and this is the good feeling that makes me so proud to be a part of AGT 20th season.”

Psalm 149:3 “Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.”
