Song of the Week

We'll be a dream- We the Kings ft. Demi Livato

And when the lights go off
We'll be safe and sound
We'll take control of the world
like it's all we have
to hold onto
and we'll be
a dream

-Ashlynne Rose

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir

Last night my parents, Kurt and I went to see the Pioneer Day broadcast done by the Tabernacle Choir and it was absolutely amazing. The singing, the stories, the instruments and the Spirit really lived up to its expectations people set for them.
Throughout the broadcast, there were short clips of interviews and bits of history of the Choir. Ever since their very first broadcast of Music and the Spoken Word, they have opened with the song 'The Morning Breaks'. It is the longest national running broadcast in America's history.
All of the songs that they sang were incredible, and they all seemed to touch the heart. A Nigerian Tribal Hymn, 76 Trombones, and Amazing Grace were among the pieces sung. They are all so different, and yet this amazing choir can master all of them. I tip my hat to them. Good job, Mack Wilberg.
