Jason & deMarco Are Safe

Jason and deMarco have had an exciting last fwe months, what with working on the new video for the title cut from their 2008 album, Safe. If that were not enough, the adorable couple also welcomed home their newborn twins, so I can only imagine sleep is a rarity in their house! It is a beautiful and thoughtful video, so I thought I would share it on this Sunday morning.



For more about Jason & deMarco, you can visit their official website here. The album Safe is available on iTunes, BestBuy.com, Amazon.com, or via their online store. You can also find other posts about the boys here, here, here and here. You can also find them on FaceBook here, and on Twitter here.

Sunday Morning with Jimmy Somerville

I can't tell you how many times in the past 20-some odd years I done this - put on some Jimmy after waking up Sunday morning. There is something in his voice I find soothing and affirming. So I reached into Jimmy's catalog, and this is what I came up with. First, there is Safe, off 1995's Dare To Love.



Next there is the vastly under-rated Dark Sky from the Manage The Damage CD in 1999. Such a beautiful song, really.



And, finally, there is Lay Down, also from Mange The Damage. Really, if you don't have this album, you should. You can find it on Amazon.Com here, or on iTunes here.

Westlife - New Single 'Safe'

Top: Westlife on stage. Middle: Kian Egan & Nicky Byrne. Bottom: Mark Feehily & Shane Filan.

Four of my favorite Irish boys appeared on X-Factor in the UK over the weekend to perform the first single from their soon-to-be-released album, Gravity. The new single, Safe, is a power ballad written by album producer John Shanks and James Grunder, of the rock group Golden State.



I ordered my import copy of the album from Amazon here. It is supposed to be in my possession before Thanksgiving, so I am excited! For more on the band, you can check out their official website here.
