@theautumnfilm Is there anyway I can get this but just with the piano,I really got an awesome idea for a song for this...will post it as a reply and all right are to you all.
This brang tears to my eyes... God has given Tifah a beautiful talent.. whether shes famous or not, she's still using it for god. THAT is what makes life filled up with joy.
I love the ironic contrast of this piece. I think she's expressing how people display semblances of emotions, when in fact they are experiencing something completely different. In this circumstance, the lyrics express a semblance of "joy", when actually, turmoil and despair are being felt, hence "I can't pretend that this will be alright in the end, so I'll try my best and lift up my chest to sing about this joy... I'll act happy." Utterly beautiful. Almost brought me to tears.
@misericordeful Exactly. Sometime we don't see the joy through our circumstances... so we must deliberately choose it. When we don't 'see' joy, we must remain focused on Christ and see Him instead of our circumstances. Joy and happiness are not the same. Happiness is dependent on outward circumstances; Joy is the reality of Christ and His saving grace that is present in all circumstances; even in those that do not 'bring' joy.
Thank you for displaying what I perceive to be the prescriptive, instead of the descriptive, aspect of joy. (The 'traditional' version of the song focuses on the latter.)
I loved it! It is beautifully performed. To me it represented the contradiction between what people express and what they really feel. Everyone displays a happy face with a fake smile when inside they could have a sadness they can't express.
that was really good. autumn film played at my church once, they were awesome. she's got an amazing voice, very distinct and different from other female vocalists

it's a joy to realize that her loved one is no longer in pain, cancer. Every song they wrote has great meaning.

It speaks of joy indescribable and peace inexpressible...or rather hope. Amen and amen. I have been there...i
