Hi! It’s Samantha! This is my first post and I think I am going to
be doing a lot of this. I love being part of this group!!! This might sound
odd, but sometimes I think God talks to me through music. So, a lot of my posts
will probably be on inspirational songs, reviews on positive films, and any stories
that I might be writing. I’ll love some feedback!!
Of all the
songs that seem to have a faith-based message, “Constant Angel” by singer-actor
and songwriter Ramin (Rah-meen) Karimloo (car-eem-loo, I think) (pictured
above) is one of my definite favorites. This song was born one day when he was
listening to a CD of worship music in his car and is on his debut album Human Heart (US version). I like to think the song is about the
importance of faith and how there will always be someone who will love you.
This song made me realize I was special and
moved me to tears.
For more on the song, search “Ramin Karimloo on Songs
of Praise” to hear more on his idea on faith as well as a beautiful acoustic
performance of this song and “Bring Him Home”. You can also check out his
website www.raminkarimloo.com and his YouTube page ARoamingIranian. Yes, you
read that right….he is Iranian.
Ramin was
born in Tehran, Iran on September 19th, 1978. His family fled when
he was three months old because of the revolution; living in Italy for a while
and then moving permanently to Canada when Ramin was three. Ramin went to
London to act in the West End; becoming the youngest actor ever to play The
Phantom (age 29) and a few years ago as Valjean in Les Miz with which he will
be making his Broadway debut in March. He was in Toronto from September to this
January.
A Christian (the happiest day of my life was the day I found that out),
he felt very honored and blessed to be part of both Les Miz 25 (as Enjolras) and
Phantom 25 on PBS (both shows are available on DVD and a cast recording of
Phantom 25 is also available) and sees just being on stage as a spiritual
thing. If anyone’s wondering…..yes, I do have a crush on him and I love his
music; there are some more of his songs I will probably be doing on here.
