Tute Five... Videos!

Its really quite difficult to 'provide a brief summary of the services offered by youtube'... It's a place were people of varying levels of talent go and upload videos and some of them end up famous or famously hated. With a few mouse clicks you can see Justin Bieber before he got famous and you can see why most of the world seems to hate someone called Rebecca Black. Asides from 'music' youtube has a wide range of videos from clips off tv shows to people voicing their opinions on current affairs, tutorials on how to do things which i have used including how to hula-hoop and what on earth the newton rhapson method was for my statistics exam. The world is at your fingertips thanks to the worldwide user contribution from youtube.

One topic that is fairly close to my heart is music. I've chosen five different videos that are significant to me.

The first one is a song called Cinderella 

Steven Curtis Chapman wrote this about his little daughters because one night he felt God whisper to savour the time he had with them after a stressful bath time one night. A few months after this song was written his youngest daughter was tragically killed in a car accident involving an older sibling. I've listened to this so many times and have played and sung it on piano and guitar. One of the truly special songs in life that holds extra meaning and reminders.

For the sake of saving space the other four videos are listed as links.

Hillsong Chapel - You'll Come
One of the most memorable songs I've sung at church. Can lead to some rather emotional moments...

On a lighter note... The Lazy Song - Bruno Mars I think this kind of video is pretty amazing and has had me spending a few hours giggling and i have forced all of my flatmates to watch it. If you haven't watched it... trust me its amazing!!

This next one is a little treat "Star Wars" preformed by a choir... I saw a choir sing this at the Big sing in my final year at high school and it reminds me of a road trip with some awesome friends and a crazy teacher.

Finally a dedication to two of the reasons i may or may not be in love with Gerard Butler - I am aware i said five videos but this really warrants two. a scene from P.s. I love you singing Galway Girl, and another from Phantom of the opera, Music of the night. Lets just say I love a man that can sing and my brother banned me from ever renting phantom again as the first time i rented it it may have been played about six times...

My five (six) videos are all indicators of important times in my life and memorable moments.
