Check out this talented performer wowing people on the street with her beautiful cover of ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey. The singer in the video is Sarah Fitzsimon, and she has such a wonderful and unique voice. She really made this popular song her own!

‘Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere’

What an outstanding performance! Sarah is performing this Journey hit in Dublin, Ireland, specifically on Grafton Street. This part of the city is well-known for its vibrant street busking scene. Buskers, including musicians, poets, and mime artists, perform for the crowds, contributing to the area's lively atmosphere. This type of entertainment is a long-standing tradition in Dublin.

And while Sarah Fitzsimon has people walking by her on Grafton Street, enjoying her musical performances, she also fans online who have shared how much they like her cover of ‘Don’t Stop Believin.’’ 

“The hair on the back of my neck stood up! I love her voice! Instant fan,” comments one person on YouTube after watching the video.

“Brilliant performance by Sarah. I absolutely love her amazing voice,” writes another person online.

As for ‘Don’t Stop Believin’’ by Journey, it was released in October 1981 as the second single from the group's seventh studio album titled Escape. It was co-written by the band's vocalist Steve Perry, guitarist Neal Schon, and keyboardist Jonathan Cain.

‘Don’t Stop Believin’ was a top-10 worldwide hit in 1981, and it became the group's signature song that has continued to endure over the years. In 2012, the song became the best-selling digital track from the twentieth century, with over seven million downloads by 2017.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this fun cover of ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ today!

A young man stunned with his powerful rendition of “My Heart Will Go On.” The little guy showed off his jaw-dropping voice as he belted out the Celine Dion classic. Watch the short but awe-inspiring clip to hear the young man beautifully perform “My Heart Will Go On.”

There are a lot of truly talented musicians today. If asked, we could easily rattle off an endless list of singers and bands who we believe to be musically gifted. Of course, there are bound to be some major and minor differences in opinion on those theoretical musical lists. Some people will believe this band or performer is terrific, while others may leave that particular singer or band off entirely.

Regardless of opinion on other singers and bands, there is little discussion about who some of the greatest singers of all time are. People like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Adele, Celine Dion and Aretha Franklin are in a class of their own. Their voices are so powerful, recognizable, unmistakable and incomparable. Very few people come along with musical gifts similar to those talented ladies. It’s nearly impossible to top those voices, so covering one of their songs is usually a fool’s errand.

In a clip posted on social media, a young man sings “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion. Surprisingly, the little guy nails it. He reaches for, hits and holds those impressively high notes. In a matter of seconds, the young singer demonstrates that he has been incredibly gifted with a beautiful voice.

It’s incredible what he can do at such a young age. However, the most impressive part is that he appears to be putting on such a magnificent performance without even realizing it. He does it so effortlessly and nonchalantly. Once he’s done singing, he goes about his day as if nothing has happened.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

A woman’s dazzling America’s Got Talent dance performance wowed. Her awe-inspiring and mesmerizing routine had the entire studio audience up on their feet cheering and applauding. Watch the short but jaw-dropping clip to see the woman’s stunning America’s Got Talent audition.

Dance is one of the most challenging art forms to master. Some would argue, and rightfully so, that it is, in fact, the toughest to perfect. Dance incorporates so many different elements and techniques that someone would need to master all of them to become even a passable or marginal dancer.

When someone is able to pull off a dance routine correctly and flawlessly, it is one of the most beautiful sights imaginable. No one can possibly argue otherwise. The massive amount of timing, athleticism and skills, not to mention all the hard work and dedication that go into doing that, is astounding. In a clip posted on YouTube, a young man does exactly that during her audition for America’s Got Talent.

In a brief exchange with the judges, we learn that 18-year-old Alex Blanchard is from England and has traveled to the U.S. alone, hoping to impress the judges and the studio audience with her dance routine. With that short discussion complete, it’s time for Alex to get into her audition. Seconds into her routine, it’s clear this young woman is an incredibly talented dancer, and she has the entire studio audience on her side. They are on their feet cheering and applauding the 18-year-old dancer.

Alex’s routine incorporates dance and some high-flying and thoroughly impressive gymnastics moves. It was a routine unlike many others on the show. Everyone in the room, including the show’s four judges, enjoyed watching her perform.

When it came time for the judges to render their verdict, they complimented the young woman from England, mentioning how much they enjoyed what she did on stage. As expected, she received four yes votes.

Psalm 149:3 “Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.”

Jamie MacDonald wows with ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’ cover on YouTube. Her strong and powerful voice sounds like it's made for this song. Watch the video to hear the incredible piece of music!

As Jamie sings with musicians and backup singers, you can almost feel the energy hum through the performance. She brings that oomph and power that anyone familiar with the song knows it carries. The song was initially released in 1967 by soul singers Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, and it's loved just as much today as it was all those years ago—if not even more. The song speaks of undying love for someone and offers reassurance that they’ve got someone they can depend on. It’s unwavering devotion that listeners have related to for generations. Some of the lyrics are:

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe

Jamie Macdonald has a magnetic voice that can fill a room—no microphone needed. She’s truly gifted, and it’s wonderful to hear. She is perhaps best known for her song with TobyMac, ‘God Did It,’ and her humble song, ‘Desperate,’ but whether she’s singing Christian pop or a soulful classic like ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,’ it’s always a pleasure to hear her incredible voice. 

This cover swells with passion and gives the classic song a new but very familiar life. The delivery is bold, and everyone is on time with the music. The backup singers shine and harmonize with Jamie perfectly, and it’s clear that there’s a contagious joy as the group performs. 

With Jamie’s recent original music and covers like this one, the young artist is proving she’s got something to share—and listeners are eager and excited to receive it.

Some buskers turned heads with a stunning cover of CCR’s ‘Bad Moon Rising’ on Dublin’s city streets. They display loads of musical talent, so it’s easy to see why. Watch the video to hear their gifted cover. 

The buskers, Francesco Parodi & Jose Fondon, each play an instrument as Francesco sings with raw passion. Jose plays the electric guitar, taking the spotlight at different moments with amazing-sounding, long-winded riffs, and Fransesco plays the acoustic guitar. 

Francesco excellently applies his skillful voice to the song. He sounds a little gritty, but keeps his voice clear and strong throughout the rock song. Looking at the duo, you wouldn’t guess they’re about to cover a rock song—and do so well—but looks clearly deceive, because these guys absolutely know what they’re doing. As they play, many onlookers crowd around them. The talented guitar playing and Francesco’s vocals, which one fan describes as “gravel wrapped in silk,” seem to be a match made in heaven. 

The song, originally sung by Creedence Clearwater Revival, has somewhat ominous lyrics that sound like warnings, but it also—almost contrastingly—has a happy beat that you can easily tap your foot to. Some of the lyrics are:

Well, don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
Don't go around tonight

The cover does the original track justice. The only significant difference is the lack of drums in Jose and Fransesco’s version, but the quality and sound are just as good, if not even better than the original band’s. It’s great to see that so many people stopped to appreciate their live street performance. The duo certainly deserved it and obviously spent some time perfecting the cover. 

It’s safe to say that whether you’re a rock fan or just an eclectic music appreciator, you’ll love this performance!

Country singer Jimmy Fortune delivers a soul-stirring ‘Rock of Ages’ rendition in a new, slow, sweet, and tender cover. With an abundance of talent and a beautiful voice, a Jimmy Fortune performance is not one to miss. Watch the video to hear the wonderful sound. 

In the video, listeners cheer on Jimmy, a former member of The Statler Brothers, as he begins to sing the incredible song. Backup singers and instrumental players accompany him as he sings, giving the song a country sound. He brings a new life and soul to the Christian hymn.  

Some of the hymn’s impactful lyrics are: 

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy wounded side which flowed.

The hymn was written in 1762 by Augustus Toplady. There are two rival accounts of how he got inspiration for the hymn. One of the accounts says he must have gotten inspiration for the hymn after reading Charles Wesley’s “Hymns on the Lord’s Supper,” which contains a song with a similar theme to Toplady’s. Another account says Toplady wrote it after he took refuge in the Burrington Combe gorge in North Somerset, England. There is also a plaque there that claims such.

Regardless of how he got the inspiration, the result is a long-lasting, remarkable hymn that has resonated with believers for hundreds of years. It’s been sung by many, many Christians, including famous ones like Amy Grant, the Oak Ridge Boys, Guy Penrod, Jimmy Fortune, of course, and many more. 

Jimmy does an absolutely incredible job of covering the song. He has his own unique way of performing, and he puts a lot of deliberate care into each verse. As you listen, you’re sure to be reminded of God’s grace and relentless love for you.

This teen’s ‘Defying Gravity’ performance on AGT wows the audience and judges. This definitely won’t be the last we see of her! She stood there—just 13 years old—with nothing but her voice and a dream big enough to shake the rafters. Evelyn Errante of Phoenix, Arizona, didn’t just sing ‘Defying Gravity’—she believed it with every fiber of her being. She believed every word, every note. When she sang, it reminded us to remember that God is not done with any of us yet. 

And something in us stirred when that chorus soared out of her lungs.

Because this girl? She wasn’t worried about being too young. She wasn’t thinking about who might be better or more polished. She just sang—full of wonder, wide-eyed hope, and with so much joy, telling the world she’s not waiting for permission to live the dream God stitched into her bones.

And maybe that’s what we need to hear—those of us who’ve walked five decades and feel the weight of too many unfinished things.

Maybe you’ve buried your gift in the laundry piles and long days. Perhaps you’ve told yourself it’s too late, too impractical, too silly to dream again. But watching Evelyn? Oh, sister—it reminds us: God doesn’t put an expiration date on what He’s placed inside you.

You may not be 13, standing on a stage—but you still have something the world needs. You still have breath in your lungs and gifts tucked into your soul.

So light the candle. Write the chapter. Start the class. Break up the earth for your garden. Bake the bread. Sing the song. Whatever it is—do the thing.

Because maybe defying gravity doesn’t look like Broadway. Maybe it looks like a woman, fully alive again—remembering that God's not done. Not even close.

He’s still dreaming with you.

“For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” Romans 11:29

Shane Ericks recently released a stunning cover of The Eagles’ ‘Love Will Keep Us Alive,’ and it’s simply beautiful. Her voice hums with strength, beauty, and elegance—just about every element that’s needed to cover this song. Don’t hesitate to play the video and hear the sweet music. 

Originally released by The Eagles in 1993, ‘Love Will Keep Us Alive’ is a lovely slow song about loved ones making it through tough times together, thanks to their love and dedication to each other. It talks about love as a motivating feeling. When nothing else can get you through—love can. 
Some of the song’s lyrics are: 

Lost and lonely
Now you've given me the will to survive
When we're hungry
Love will keep us alive

This is a great song to cover. ‘Love Will Keep Us Alive’ is practically forgotten in today’s pop-focused landscape, but it shouldn’t be. Shane’s helping people remember the song by putting her own gentle spin on it. Thanks to her, a new generation will be introduced to the beloved piece of timeless music. 

As Shane sings, she never rushes through the lyrics. She takes her time and goes with the flow of the beat and piano. Though she has an impressive vocal range, she keeps her tone soft and intimate throughout. She also has parts of the song where she layers her own harmony onto her voice. The effect is breathtakingly beautiful and wonderful. 

‘Love Will Keep Us Alive’ has a quiet and calm beauty, and Shane did well to maintain that peaceful flow. It’s a song that makes you want to reflect or slow dance as you listen to it. Shane’s performance feels very personal and moving. She proves that song covers are more than just a redo of a ballad, but something that everyone can connect to and feel.

They sit together in their living room — Colt strumming his guitar, Aubree smiling behind the camera, and their kids tapping on drums and bass and just being their joyful selves. There is no studio, no audience, just a family finding light in the dark by making music together.

Their cover of ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ isn’t just a song. It’s a little burst of sunshine in the middle of a hard season. You can almost hear the hope crackling beneath the strings — the kind of hope that’s stubborn, like faith held tight in trembling hands. If you’ve ever needed a little pick-me-up, this performance is like a warm hug for the soul. From the very first strum of the guitar to the last cheerful chorus, you can feel the joy bubbling up—pure, unfiltered, and infectious. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best medicine for a weary heart is a simple song sung together with those you love.

This family doesn’t have it all figured out. Their voices aren’t perfect — and that’s the point. It’s the messy, beautiful, real-ness of love that can’t be bought or earned. It’s the laughter between the verses and the smiles exchanged when someone hits the wrong note, but they keep singing anyway.

Back when the world shut down and the days stretched long and lonely, they found a way to remind us all that joy still lives in the small things—in the family gathered ‘round a song, in the stories shared, and in the music made by hearts that refuse to give up.

So when you watch their cover or any of their music for that matter, you don’t just hear the music, you feel the moments, the magic, their family bond, and just how much fun they have together. As a family, you can see how they choose hope, love, and fun even when the world feels heavy.

Because that’s the kind of love money can’t buy. But it’s the kind that saves us, time and again.

“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13

This busker’s unique cover of ABBA’s ‘Dancing Queen’ is mesmerizing, and it’s the sweetest surprise you’ll hear all week! Some songs live in our bones. They’re the all-time hits that grow with us and are passed down from generation to generation. In fact, they’re stitched into summer BBQs and long road trips down back highways with the windows down and the sun tangled in our hair. They echo off the walls of malls and subway tunnels, sneak through grocery store speakers, and suddenly everyone around us is humming, tapping, and singing along.

‘Dancing Queen’ is one of those songs. It’s a familiar anthem. It’s joy, youth, and a little glitter from the '70s all wrapped into one. But here’s the thing, this singer is just a girl with a guitar, standing in the middle of the streets of the UK—a busker with a gift that hushes the noise of the world. She goes by Lierre, and if you blink, you might miss her. But if you hear her? You’ll never forget her.

Her version of ‘Dancing Queen’ doesn’t come with disco balls or movies like ‘Mama Mia.’ Instead, her kind of music and voice are so incredibly different. It slips in slowly like candlelight flickering in the quiet hours. She plays our favorite song so tender and bare, with a folksy softness that wraps around your ribs and makes you ache in the most beautiful way.

It’s the same all-time favorite song of ours, but it’s so different. You think you know the song. You’ve sung it in cars, in kitchens, in dollar store aisles. But when Lierre sings it, “You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen…” It feels different.

It doesn’t shout. It soothes.

It’s the kind of version you play when your house is finally still after a long day. When the last light is out, and you're soaking in the tub. It’s the kind of song you stretch to in the quiet of the morning, or play on repeat when your teens are finally asleep and you’re gathering your soul again. 

And maybe that’s why I can’t stop listening.

“You are the dancing queen...”

Not just seventeen. Not just then. Still. Now. Always. So tonight, let this song be the last thing you hear before sleep. Then turn around and share it with a friend because it’s meant to be heard, felt, and passed on. One soft, mesmerizing note at a time.

“He will take great delight in you; in His love He will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17

A female group stunned on America’s Got Talent and scored a Golden Buzzer in the process. The young women wowed with their beautiful voices and dance moves, thoroughly impressing the judges and the studio audience. Watch the short and awe-inspiring clip to listen to and see their fantastic audition on America’s Got Talent.

Everyone who appears on shows like American Idol, The Voice and America’s Got Talent hopes to hit it big, make their dreams a reality, and win over the show’s judges with their talent. Sadly, not all who appear on those programs do that and their dreams are crushed. But that’s kind of the nature of the entertainment business. It’s cutthroat and competitive. You either have it, or you don’t.

In a clip posted on YouTube, four sisters in their early 20s demonstrated that they most certainly have it with their outstanding audition on America’s Got Talent. The young women, who call themselves The BoykinZ, performed an original song of theirs, “I Fell in Love with a Cowboy.”

Not only did they show off their songwriting capability and beautiful voices, but they also had a choreographed dance to accompany their performance. These ladies are supremely talented, and the studio audience positively responded to their audition seconds after the women started singing their original tune. Everyone in the audience was on their feet, shouting and clapping. 

The studio audience wasn’t the only people thoroughly impressed by the women. The four judges – Simon, Sofia, Mel B and Howie – showered The BoykinZ with compliments.  Simon called it “almost a perfect audition.”

But the biggest moment was still to come. The show’s host, Terry Crews, was also blown away by their audition. He came from behind the stage to the judge’s table to slam the Golden Buzzer for the four sisters.

It was a well-deserved Golden Buzzer, that’s for sure.

Ephesians 5:19 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;”

Check out the a cappella group Home Free perform a stunning rendition of the song  'Something to Talk About' by Bonnie Raitt. The members of this group sound incredible together, and the audience is loving their performance of this song. It is amazing to think about how the full sound that you hear from Home Free is coming from just one instrument – their voices!

‘People are talking, talkin' 'bout people
I hear them whisper you won't believe it
They think we're lovers kept undercover
I'll just ignore it, but they keep sayin' we’

In the video, Home Free is performing ‘Something to Talk About’ at the 25th Anniversary Party at City Winery Nashville on Sunday, June 8th, 2025. “We want to sing a song now that we’ve never actually done in our show,” says one of the members before the song starts. “This is the first song we ever recorded with Adam Bastien.”

The a cappella group Home Free consists of five vocalists: Adam Bell-Bastien, Adam Chance, Rob Lundquist, Adam Rupp, and Tim Foust. In 2013, the group won the fourth season of The Sing-Off on NBC. Adam Bell-Bastien is the newest member of the group, and many people online shared how they love seeing him in the mix now.

“Awesome, Adam B is a great addition to Home Free,” writes one person online after watching the video. “They are the best all vocal band out there. Love them.”

When it comes to ‘Something to Talk About,’ this song was one of Bonnie Raitt’s biggest hits. The song was written by Canadian singer-songwriter Shirley Eikhard and recorded by Bonnie Raitt in 1991 for her album Luck of the Draw. The song became popular on multiple radio formats and peaked at number five on the US Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, number 12 on the Album Rock Tracks chart, and number five on the Hot 100.

We hope you enjoyed watching this fun performance from Home Free today!

Check out this wonderful, jazzy rendition of Stevie Nicks' ‘Edge of Seventeen’. The singer in the video is Robyn Adele Anderson, and her voice, along with the band, sounds amazing! This song really does lend itself so well to this type of moody jazz.

‘Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin' "ooh, ooh, ooh"
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin' "ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh"’

What a great performance! In the caption of the video, Robyn shares a bit about her thoughts on the song ‘Edge of Seventeen.’

“This song is so iconic, I can’t believe it took me this long to get around to covering it!” she writes. “Of course I had to make it extra special and bring in my girl Tiffany Weiss on violin (before she hit the road touring with Will Smith!). So please enjoy my first (and definitely not last) Stevie Nicks cover.”

Many people online were blown away by this jazzy cover of this classic song.

“Wow! Somehow it feels like this was the original version of the song, waiting to come out! Fantastic!” writes one person after watching the music video.

“Very cool, thank you for that,” comments another person online. “Really enjoyed the different take on this song – that jazzy uplifting sound to the song sounded great. And that singer, wow! She definitely pulled it off. Great job guys, definitely loved it.”

The song ‘Edge of Seventeen’ by Stevie Nicks was inspired by the deaths of both John Lennon and Stevie’s uncle Jonathan Nicks, which occurred within the same week in December 1980. And the song's title came from a misheard phrase by Tom Petty's wife, Jane, who said she met Tom "at the age of seventeen," which Stevie Nicks heard as "edge of seventeen."

We hope you enjoyed this creative take on this classic song today!

Check out this hauntingly beautiful rendition of ‘Danny Boy’ from Celtic Woman. The performance is from their 20th Anniversary concert, and the music and vocals will give you chills. Their voices are just wonderful, with such pure tones and tight harmonies, and it is absolutely heavenly to hear them sing.

‘Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountainside
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide’

Celtic Woman has fans all around the world, and every performance they give is absolutely stunning. Many people shared their thoughts online about this performance of ‘Danny Boy’ from the talented group.

“I get ‘good chills’ every single time I hear ‘Danny Boy.’ Every single combination of Celtic Woman performers always nail it and crush it singing ‘Danny Boy’ too,” writes one person.

When it comes to the history of this beloved song, Frederic Edward Weatherly is to thank for the lyrics to ‘Danny Boy.’ He penned the first two stanzas of the song in 1910, but the lyrics did not find their musical counterpart until a couple of years later. Frederic’s Irish sister-in-law sent him the folk tune, hoping that he would put lyrics to it.
 
But the origins of the music are somewhat of a mystery. Some say that a Celtic harpist played it as early as the 1600s, while others say it originated in the Scottish Highlands. However the song originated, it remains true that it has always been hauntingly beautiful! And it will continue to be a favorite of many for years and years to come.

The singers in Celtic Woman always sound so angelic when performing together. What a treat it is to hear them perform! We hope that you enjoyed listening to their incredible voices sing 'Danny Boy' today.

Kelly Clarkson and her daughter melted hearts with their “Heartbeat Song” duet. The pair surprised the audience with their delightful rendition of Kelly’s hit song. Watch the short but sweet clip to listen to and hear mother and daughter beautifully perform “Heartbeat Song.”

Kelly Clarkson is, without a doubt, one of the most talented, gifted singers working today. The original American Idol is one of the few people who can sing nearly any song from any and every genre and make it something that you’ll listen to repeatedly. Her singing the phonebook (Do they still produce it?) and making it worth listening to would not be out of the question. And she seemingly does so in such an effortless manner. Of course, it’s not effortless; she’s just that talented that it appears that way.

Well, the musical talent did not stop with Kelly because she is clearly not the only singer in her household. It seems to run in the family. Kelly’s daughter, 11-year-old River Rose, is also a gifted singer and can belt out the lyrics and hold the notes like her talented mother.

In a clip posted on YouTube, River Rose surprised everyone and joined her mother to sing “Heartbeat Song.” Both sound wonderful, giving the audience such a sweet and unexpected treat. They responded to the performance with a thunderous round of applause. At the end of their performance, Kelly gives her pre-teen daughter a massive hug.

Not only did they sound similar, but they even dressed alike for their outstanding musical performance. This was undoubtedly a moment and a performance that both will likely remember and cherish for quite some time.

The video’s description explains that the mother-daughter duet occurred at one of the shows during Kelly’s “Studio Sessions” residency in Las Vegas.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

Two buskers turned in a mesmerizing “Take Me Home, Country Roads” duet. Their public performance of the John Denver classic is one rendition that should be listened to repeatedly. Watch the short but chilling clip to hear their stunning musical performance of “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”

John Denver is, without a doubt, one of the best singer-songwriters in recent memory. One could, relatively easily, argue that he’s one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time, ranking up there with legendary musicians like Bob Dylan, James Taylor and Willie Nelson. His talent was undeniable, which is evidenced by how many people continue to listen to and love his tunes.

Yes, he had a unique, distinct and unmistakable voice. However, we can all agree that his true talent and genius was in songwriting. He was undoubtedly a talented musician with a gift for writing simple but beautiful lyrics. His song lyrics had the power to transport you to a simpler, less complicated time immediately. He could paint a vivid, detailed image in your mind with his beautiful lyrics.

In a clip posted on YouTube, two musicians perform John’s most beloved and iconic tune, “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” Even if you aren’t a John Denver, country or folk music fan, this is a song everyone loves. The song’s chorus is so recognizable and catchy. Hearing this chorus just once is enough for it to get stuck in your head for the rest of the day.

“Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads”

John’s fantastic, beautiful lyrics and the duo’s stunning, spot-on vocal performance make this a rendition you cannot or should not miss. You’re not likely to find a better cover of this iconic tune. The only person who could perform this song better would be John himself.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

If you want a mood boost or a fresh jolt of energy, watch this fun video. This cover of ‘Walking on Sunshine’ will brighten your day and lift your spirits. Play the clip to enjoy the bright, catchy song.

The upbeat cover will have you feeling like you stepped back into the 80s for a few minutes. It is everything you could want in a feel-good song. It has that familiar sound and beat with a full band, many instruments, and that key lead female singer with a voice similar to the song’s original singer, Katrina Leskanich. 

The group in the video, an Australian musical organization called Sing it Live, does a wonderful job of covering the song. Anyone who loves the original piece will absolutely love this rendition. The performers and producer have done an incredible job of keeping all of the things that make it special. Lead singer Melissa McCaig brings a lot of catchy fun into her performance. She wears a flashy blue coat and jives to the music. There’s even a breeze picturesquely blowing her hair back as she belts out the lyrics: 

… And I just can't wait till the day when you knock on my door
Now everytime I go for the mailbox, gotta hold myself down
'Cause I just can't wait till you write me you're coming around
I'm walking on sunshine, wooah

It’s impossible not to feel a little jolt of happiness when you hear this song. The song’s high attitude of nothing can get in your way or get you down is contagious. It’s nice to have small things like this to brighten our day and put a quick smile on our faces, isn’t it? 

"Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise." James 5:13

A long-loved classic hit gets a fresh twist in Home Free’s stunning ‘Elvira’ rendition, and it sounds great. A cappella group Home Free is a master at what they do, and you can certainly tell in this cover. Watch the video to hear the talent-filled and fun performance. 

It’s wonderful to hear a song like this sung without instruments. Though it’s typically sung with multiple vocals, it’s still often performed with drums, piano, guitar, or even the harmonica or saxophone. So, it’s not something you’d immediately expect to hear a cappella, but nonetheless, it sounds so good when Home Free sings it. 

The five-member group definitely puts its own spin on the song, with a lot of finger-snapping, clapping, beatboxing, and foot-stomping. Their rendition is completely entertaining, and their voices display so much variety as they sing. 

The song was originally sung and written by Dallas Frazier in 1966. Kenny Rogers & The First Edition sang it, as did Rodney Crowell. But it wasn’t made popular until The Oak Ridge Boys renditioned it as a pop song in 1981, when it was in the top ten chart for most popular songs that summer. 

"When we did 'Elvira," said Oak Ridge Boys singer Richard Sterban, "the place went crazy. The response was, like, unbelievable. We had to encore it several times, actually. People wouldn’t let us quit singing 'Elvira.'"

‘Elvira’ is just a fun, feel-good song about a crush that anyone can get on board with. Some of the beginning lyrics are: 

With eyes that look like heaven, lips like cherry wine
That girl can sure enough make my little light shine
I get a funny feelin' up and down my spine
'Cause I know that my Elvira's mine

While we go about our day, it’s nice to have a little blast to the past and hear such a well-done, a cappella version of the song!

Check out these young musicians stun with their cover of Billy Joel’s ‘My Life.’ Their version of this song is terrific, and they sound so amazing playing together. What a talented bunch of kids!

‘Got a call from an old friend we'd used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way

The group then went on to share some information about the sound and process of their music video. “We started the cameras rolling last Monday late afternoon and recorded several passes. We all agreed that the 3rd pass we did was the best, and this is the version you're seeing and hearing here. To this, we added background vocals, a keyboard part, and hand claps. You can see all those inserted. We do these songs to honor the artists that brought these to the world. We try our very best to get as close as we can to the original masterpieces. This is why we added those additional sounds mentioned. We hope you enjoy!”
