Cormac Thompson - True Colours (CCM)


'True Colours' by Cormac Thompson is a breathtaking cover of Cyndi Lauper's 80s classic that is guaranteed to leave you in awe. At just 13 years old, Cormac has been a seasoned singer since he was a young boy. His debut album, Hear My Voice, which was released by Decca Records, was met with much praise when he was just 11 years old. Since then, Cormac's treble voice has earned him numerous accolades, including a solo performance at the Royal Albert Hall, a place in the final of Young Chorister of the Year, and an appearance on Britain's Got Talent.

Cormac Thompson - True ColoursThis recording of 'True Colours' showcases Cormac's musical abilities as he accompanies himself on the piano (keyboard for the actual recording). He has kept the arrangement simple, with just a few pads to bind everything together, and added a unique blend of his younger treble voice with his lower voice on the last note, 'Rainbow'. This innovative approach was inspired by Cormac's voice changing between learning the song and recording it.

The lyrics of 'True Colours' are a beautiful reminder of love and acceptance. The song encourages the listener to not be afraid to show their true colors, as they are beautiful just like a rainbow. It serves as a message of hope and comfort, reminding us that even in a world full of people, we are never alone, and someone will always be there to see our true colors shining through.

'True Colours' by Cormac Thompson is a must-listen for anyone looking for a heartfelt and moving song. With his soulful voice and emotional performance, Cormac brings the song to life and leaves a lasting impression on the listener. So don't hesitate, give it a listen and be transported to a world of beauty and love.

"When I Saw The Light" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Folk, Grace, and the Moment Everything Changes

“When I Saw The Light” captures something painfully familiar — the trap that routine can bring. Tyler Philip Ratcliffe wrote this folk anthem as a follow-up to “This Little Light of Mine,” drawing on his bluegrass roots and the spirit of Bill Monroe’s classic to tell a story many will recognize in themselves. The verses don’t sugarcoat it. “Same faces, same mistakes, same places // Promise that I change it all tomorrow”  — the trap we need to be aware of… The routine masquerading as life. But Ratcliffe doesn’t leave the listener there. The chorus lifts everything: “I traded fake for something honest // Finally doing something right.” That’s the turning point! What makes this song land is its honesty about the moment before a breakthrough. When numbness sets in, when you’ve exhausted every other option — that’s when the light (His light) breaks through. Ratcliffe captures the surprise of grace: “I wasn’t looking for religion // Wasn’t searching for the truth.” Nobody ever is. And ye...

"Psalm 10 (Do You See)" by Red Letter Society: Honest Faith, Bold Trust, and the Hope of God's Reign

Injustice is hard to sit with. When evil goes unchecked, and the vulnerable are overlooked, even the most faithful hearts may be wrestling with silence from heaven. Red Letter Society's "Psalm 10 (Do You See)" is about that struggle. This song is part of the band's ongoing psalm project and gives the church honest language for prayer. Instead of wrapping pain in comfortable platitudes, it voices the raw cry found in Psalm 10: "Why, O Lord, do You stand so far? Why hide Yourself so I can't see?" That's not a crisis of someone's faith; it's faith being real, and there is a big difference between the two. Featuring Jordan West, the lyrics move through the frustration and toward a confession. In the chorus, you'll hear the weight shifting: "To You the helpless commits himself, in You the orphan finds their help." This is trust that is forged under pressure. In the bridge of the song, you'll hear the resolution, a resolution th...

"Hard Times" by Matt Rees: Finding Faithful Ground When Life Comes Apart

Hard times have a way of stripping everything back. Matt Rees knows this well — and "Hard Times" was came out of one of those seasons. The Michigan-based singer-songwriter has spent years writing music that builds up the church and glorifies God, and this song carries that same honest, unpolished faith. What makes it remarkable is the posture Rees takes. Rather than crying out from the pain, he's thanking God for it. "I thank You for the hard times // when You test what's in the depths of my heart." That's not wishful thinking… That's hard-won conviction coming from the slow & dark times, and the confusing times when everything comes apart at the seams. Rees names them all, and then he names what happens next: God shows up! The chorus wraps it together…. "This life ain't always easy // but You're always faithful and true." Simple, true, and more important…. it's enough! Because when you've lived through the kind of sea...
