My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 2008

Hello again retro music fans. Every Friday I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from either 15, 20, 25, or 35 years ago this weekend (rotating each week).

It’s the 1ST Friday of the month, so I go back 15 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday May 04TH 2008:

  1. “Yours” – Dizmas
  2. “Shine Like The Stars” – Stellar Kart
  3. “Face Down” – Family Force 5
  4. “Southern Weather” – The Almost
  5. “Addicted” – P.O.D.

Sonny is “Addicted”. That’s Sonny Sandoval – lead singer of P.O.D. (Payable On Death). “Addicted” was a radio hit at both U.S. Christian Rock and U.S. Mainstream Rock during the Spring of 2008. It was the first single from their album “When Angels & Serpents Dance”. It was a # 1 smash on my chart.

All good things must come to an end, so they say. This marks the final edition of “My Top 5 Hits RETRO” after over 5 years. This is one of the original 2 weekly features that I’ve produced ever since the January 2018 reboot of my blog here on WordPress. After careful consideration I’ve decided to discontinue the Friday edition of my blog, and scale-back to 3 weekly editions on Thursdays, Sundays, and Mondays.

It’s halftime my friends. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with 2 more blog posts for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. And for the very last time – Thanks for going retro with me !

My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics

Due to the upcoming Veterans Day holiday on Wednesday I present to you a very special Monday night edition of ‘My Fantastic Journey’.

8 years ago during the weeks and months following the terrorist attacks of September 11TH 2001 P.O.D.‘s “Alive” was emerging on the radio airwaves as the ‘feel-good’ song of the season. It was sort of like the anthem to our recovering and reunited nation at the time. We felt so alive as a free nation after being brutally attacked by cowardly terrorists.

8 years later as a follower of Jesus Christ I look at the lyrics to this song in a much different perspective:

Sunshine upon my face
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world how I feel inside
Even though it might cost me everything
Now that I know this is beyond my control
‘Cause I could never turn my back away
Now that I see You
I can never look away

I’m chasing daylight, and I’m truly alive now with The Holy Spirit deep within my mind, heart, and soul. I’m sharing my Life via this blog to anyone who cares to follow along even though I’m routinely labeled as an extreme radical right-wing religious nutjob by the mainstream media and its puppet followers. Lord Jesus I will never look away. I will always follow You !

It’s in the lyrics:
