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.

"Compass (Phileo)" by Chelsea Chaisson: Navigating Life with Faith and Friends

"Compass (Phileo)" by Chelsea Chaisson explores one of the Greek words for love. This song focuses on "phileo" (friendship) and its vital role in life's storms. "Phileo" translates to love that is characterized by affection, fondness, and friendship. It's a warm, tender, and affectionate bond, often seen between friends, siblings, or within a community. It's more about the natural affection we have for those who are close to us.  Chelsea wrote this song when she returned home after living in Cambodia for two years. Faith brought her to Cambodia, sustained her there, and guided her back, but the journey left her feeling like "a little boat" lost in raging seas. At times we may feel like, "I'm drowning, drowning treading water in the wind // I'm drowning, drowning I could use a friend." It's a cry for connection, a reminder that we all need someone to anchor us when fear starts to take over. The fears and lies tha...
