Pandora Internet Radio

So I recently discovered Pandora internet radio. I realize that I may be one of the last people to have discovered this, but I'm seriously loving it. Basically you create a "station" by telling it a song or artist you like and it comes up with other similar artists and songs, and as you continue to rate the songs it plays, it refines the music it plays for you. It's pretty awesome.
So anyhow, I discovered a cool band called the Gabe Dixon Band, who incidentally are playing in New York in a few weeks AND they have a CD called Live at World Cafe, which is on Penn's campus. Awesome. And actually, I keep hearing all kinds of great new music, so I may have to start looking into getting some new CDs
Also today I heard a song by Bethany Dillon I hadn't heard before, and the lyrics were so amazing I just wanted to post them.

Who can hold the stars
And my weary heart?
Who can see everything?

I've fallen so hard
Sometimes I feel so far
But not beyond your reach

I could climb a mountain
Swim the ocean
Or do anything
But it's when you hold me
That I start unfolding
And all I can say is

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
Help me to sing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
I'll choose to sing hallelujah

The same sun that
Rises over castles
And welcomes the day

Spills over buildings
Into the streets
Where orphans play

And only you can see the good
In broken things
You took my heart of stone
And you made it home
And set this prisoner free

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
Help me to sing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
I'll choose to sing hallelujah
