I recently lost my iPod. Now, this isn't the terrible tragedy some might think: it must've been about 5 years old (second generation), and was definitely showing its age. It only had a 20GB capacity - which is more than plenty! - and it could get quite snicky sometimes. However, it did have the virtue of having my only copies of hundreds of songs! (It would have been even more, but about half of what I had had, died with our old server about 4 years ago *sob*) I had tried everything to figure out a way to back them up, but it never worked.
Nevertheless, the Beloved Husband spoils me terribly, and gave the go-ahead for me to purchase a refurbished 80GB 5th generation iPod. I was going to be virtuous and get the 30GB, but he said that we'd most likely want that storage eventually, so.... (Do you see one of the reasons why I adore him so much?)
Anyway, in preparation for the arrival and synchronization of the new iPod (Tuesday! ... I think....), I've been digging out all my old CDs and copying them onto my laptop's hard drive. I found an old Michel Sardou Best Of..., which had "Les yeux d'un animal" among other songs (actually, it's from this album, which I got for "Si l'on revient moins riches" -relax, guys - it's the only fwench album I like); I found that I still had the Royal Guardsmen CD, which has the "Snoopy vs. the Red Baron" trilogy; and a whole bunch of Yes albums - but I think I need to re-purchase Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon... *sigh*
BUT! The gem I'm talking about is a group called Acapella, and a song from their album Beyond a Doubt, called "God Inhabits Our Praise." (UPDATE: Here's a snippet - I hope! I'm testing a new program...)
God inhabits our praise
God inhabits our praisechuck swindoll
God inhabits our praise
He lives in each heartfelt word
Each note that we sing, all things that we bring
Make our building of praise for our LordGod inhabits our praise
He lives in each heartfelt word
We invite him inside, ask his love to abide
In our building of praise to the LordGod inhabits our praise
God inhabits our praiseGod inhabits our praise
He lives in each heartfelt word
When we give him heart, he will never depart
From our building of praise to our LordGod inhabits our praise
He lives in each heartfelt word
When we lift up his name, His love will remain
From our building of praise to our LordGod inhabits our praise
God inhabits our praiseBridge:
My God, inhabit our praise
Lord, live in heartfelt word
In this haven of peace, let our anxious thoughts cease
In our building of praise to the LordGod inhabits our praise
He lives in each heartfelt word
Each note that we sing, all things that we bring
Make our building of praise for our LordGod inhabits our praise
He lives in each heartfelt word
We invite him inside, ask his love to abide
In our building of praise to the LordGod inhabits our praise
God inhabits our praise
God inhabits our praise
God inhabits our praise!
Kat - your link on my photo post didn't work, so as I said there, I will simply assume you therefore agree with my picture of what you would look like as a short, furry, and while cute, evil feline.

Bummer. I can only imagine what it would be like (devastating?) losing the music library in my computer.
However...
...thanks for the YES link!
The heads up on the coming new release of Fish Out Of Water (I owned the original within seconds of its release) gives me notice -- I will buy it the minute it's available. Yes!
