"I am practicing my purpose once again..."

New favorite song from the commercial for "Conviction" on NBC. I finally found it on Itunes and downloaded it... I have a feeling I'll be purchasing their album (a real, tangible one, with liner notes and that pesky security tape all around it!) Not only is the music wonderful and moving, but the lyrics are also really positive and hopeful, which I'm a fan of. I think they apply to anyone who hasn't quite "arrived" yet and is still wondering if they're going to be successful, loved, fulfilled, etc... which I think is a majority of people (especially those around my age)! I've posted links at the bottom if you want to listen to the song on their website or myspace (it's free!). You should definitely take a listen. (P.S.- I'm also diggin' "Ever After You")


All Will Be Well
(written by: Gabe Dixon/Dan Wilson)
performed by: Gabe Dixon Band

The new day dawns
And I am practicing my purpose once again
It is fresh and it is fruitful if I win
but if I lose, ooh, I don't know
I'll be tired but I will turn and I will go
Only guessing 'til I get there then I'll know
Ohh, I will know

And all the children walking home past the factories
Can see the light that's shining in my window
As I write this song to you
And all the cars running fast along the interstate
Can feel the love that radiates
Illuminating what I know is true

And all will be well
Even after all the promises you've broken to yourself
All will be well
You can ask me how but only time will tell

The winter's cold
But the snow still lightly settles on the trees
And a mess is still a moment I can seize until I know
That all will be well
Even though sometimes this is hard to tell
And the fight is just as frustrating as hell
All will be well

And all the children walking home past the factories
Can see the light that's shining in my window
As I write this song to you
And all the cars running fast along the interstate
Can feel the love that radiates
Illuminating what I know is true

And all will be well
Even after all the promises you've broken to yourself
All will be well
You can ask me how but only time will tell

You got to keep it up
And don't give up
And chase your dreams
And you will find
All in time

And all the children walking home past the factories
Can see the light that's shining in my window
As I write this song to you
And all the cars running fast along the interstate
Can feel the love that radiates
Illuminating what I know is true

And all will be well
Even after all the promises you've broken to yourself
All will be well
You can ask me how but only time will tell

All will be well
Even after all the promises you've broken to yourself
All will be well
You can ask me how but only time will tell
You can ask me how but only time will tell

oh man, I can feel the music beast rising again... I hope this doesn't start a music spree- buying all those CDs I've been holding myself back on, buying all that guitar and piano sheet music I've been craving... and then of course obtaining any form of a keyboard/piano to have at the house, so I can actually play on a regular basis. Why didn't we register for a piano?! Should I drop out of medical school and form a band?! Whoa, I think I'll stop there and try to lull the music beast back to sleep. Peace out.
