My Daily ♥ #141: Nothing For Granted by Brendan James

I saw this commercial on The Golf Channel before Christmas and loved the song used in it. With the busy-ness of the Christmas season, I forgot to download it until yesterday when I saw one of his tweets (and after following the Sony Open on the weekend). The album was actually released in 2010. I downloaded half a dozen songs to give it a try. Along with Nothing For Granted, I especially love Stupid For Your Love and The Fall. I think I'll have to download the rest.

He's having an online concert this Saturday (4pm EST) on the StageIt.com website. You buy a ticket (pay what you can) and I imagine you get access to the concert. You can check out the link here.

I also love the commercial showing highlights from the year in golf. The whole commercial is great with the lyrics matching the players, commentators and stories. I am finding golf so much more interesting these past few years with so many great players being showcased.

Lyrics (unofficial):
Leave your worries, leave your fears,

Leave the doubt you’re holding dear
Leave them there love, by the door

They’re no good anymore
Tell your friends you’ll see them late

Tell your family they can wait

You're only young once and

Only dream of the day that love will steal you away

Run with me down these midnight streets, we will take
Nothing for granted, Nothing for granted
Come with me life is short and sweet, we will take
Nothing for granted, Nothing for granted

Stop the seasons drifting by

Stop believing there’s no time
Stop your heart from closing off

I think you deserve it all
Love your future, love your past

Love your body it’s all you have
Love your secrets bottled up

But love them more when you give them up

Run with me down these midnight streets, we will take
Nothing for granted, Nothing for granted
Come with me life is short and sweet, we will take
Nothing for granted, Nothing for granted

You gotta get outta your mind

There’s so many wonders to find
There’s so many words they could write

Across your early grave

So come on and open your eyes

I will be right by your side
We will see love lies in everything

Run with me down these midnight streets, we will take
Nothing for granted, Nothing for granted
Nothing for granted, Nothing for granted
Come with me life is short and sweet, oh
Nothing for granted, Nothing for granted
